I spotted an ad on the Xbox Dashboard titled “Zombiemania” or something along those lines. All I know is it alluded to “OHAI! Select this ad and we’ll show you a bunch of ZOMBIE STUFF ZOMG BRAINS EXCIIITEEEE!!!” I typically ignore these types of things, but uh, hello, we’re talking zombies here.
The ad lead me to a bunch of zombie related things—trivia, games, indie games, add-ons, films, tv shows, etc. I thought, okay, I’ll give a shot at this so-called zombie trivia—for I must flex my zombie knowledge and prove to myself that I am a studly woman and zombie guru.
The trivia contained five questions.
Here is one of them:

But for reals, I get it—not everyone grew up with a NES/SNES/PS like I did. But for one not to know of the legendary ink ribbons—URK! It kills me inside! Anyway, I guess this was a nice, friendly reminder-esque slap in the face that there’s a whole ‘nother generation of gamers out there. Kiddos who grew up with the PS2, PS3, Xbox 360….k-kiddos who have NO idea WTF an “old-school” Resident Evil game is…kiddos who don’t know WHAT A JILL SANDWICH IS.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I must grieve.
I would have put thumb drive too.
You’re fired.
This.
It’s probably all the soccer moms playing Kinectimals with their 6-year olds.
Holy crap people actually know what 5 1/4′ floppy disks are
Wonder if people who voted even played the original.
Well resident evil 3 was the last game where you had to collect ink ribbons. However on RE4 you still used a type writer to save just no ink. RE5 it just auto saves
They probably never heard of typewriters and thought floppy disks were the next oldest thing. Either that or because it had the word ‘floppy’ in it.
Man, I would pay to see Claire Redfield chipping away her save file with flat stones and chisels while trying to avoid the Lickers!
