[SOT]: I was coming out of the old capitol mall with a friend, and right as we were emerging from the doors we see a zombie clearly standing maybe five feet from the doors, and he shouts "Oh God, get back inside!"
[VO]: ZOMBIES? IN IOWA CITY? IT'S MORE LIKELY THAN YOU'D THINK.
[SOT]: I just whip it and smack him right in the chest
IT'S CALLED HUMANS VERSUS ZOMBIES, AND IT'S CAUGHT ON LIKE A VIRUS AT UNIVERSITIES AROUND THE WORLD-- INCLUDING IOWA.
THE GAME STARTS WITH A SINGLE HEADBAND-WEARING ZOMBIE, WHO TAGS ARMBANDED HUMANS, WHO THEN SWITCH SIDES AN HOUR LATER.
[SOT]: Humanity's where it's at.
THE HUMAN'S ONLY DEFENSE? SOCKS. A ZOMBIE HIT BY ONE CAN'T PLAY FOR 15 MINUTES.
[SOT]: My main strategy was carrying a duffel bag full of socks
[SOT]: I was of the philosophy that if I had to stun a zombie I was doing something wrong
[SOT]: How many socks would you say you had?
[SOT]: Probably around 20-ish?
DESPITE A LITTLE PARANOIA, IT SEEMS THE PLAYERS OF IOWA CITY'S HUMANS VERSUS ZOMBIES ENJOYED THEMSELVES.
[SOT]: It was a great time, even if I did get killed relatively quickly, and if you didn't play it this time, play it when it comes back around!
