<p>As I have had some part to play in the cancellation of the proposed Zombie Aid 2011 event, which had Special Effect as a listed beneficiary (see <a title="SoylentDave.com" href="http://soylentdave.com/2011/08/zombie-aid/">my blog</a> for more information), I wanted to do something to raise money for Special Effect.</p> <p>I still wanted to involve zombies, and Special Effect are a charity who help gamers, I put two and two together and came up with a sponsored videogame zombie kill.&nbsp;</p> <p>So, on Saturday 13th August 2011, I'm going to see how many zombies I can kill in one in-game day of <a title="Dead Rising 2 official site" href="http://deadrising-2.com/">Dead Rising 2</a> (on the xbox 360) - that's about 2 hours in the real world, although it might be a bit longer if you allow for loading times and cut scenes.&nbsp;</p> <p>I won't be using vehicles, because that's a bit too boring, but otherwise I'll be focusing on killing zombies not playing through the story - I should be able to rack up a couple of thousand zombie kills.</p> <p>I'll be starting a new game so we can track how many zombies I've killed, and - once my time is up - for every zombie I kill I'll donate 1p to Special Effect (through this site).</p> <p>I'll be posting the number of zombies killed (with a screenshot) after the event.</p> <p><strong>Update: </strong>The event is now complete; <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>2,560</strong></span> zombies were killed in the name of charity.&nbsp;</p> <p>Please sponsor me as much or as little as you can in order to ensure that Special Effect don't miss out and to help prove that zombies <em><strong>can </strong></em>raise money for charity. Even a small amount can make a huge difference.</p> <p>This page will remain open for donations until the end of August.</p> <p>-</p> <p>Disclaimers : I am not affiliated with, endorsed by or in any way connected with Special Effect, Microsoft, Xbox, Capcom or Zombie Aid.</p>
