The Most Adorable Cafe Ever

So this is pretty off topic for my blog, probably more in the vein of Gothic Lolita than steampunk, but dang, is it cute! This new trend of "bunny cafes" is just another one of the many things that makes Japan an awesome place. See for yourself:


D'aww! Aren't they adorable!

3D Environment--An Encampment for the Zombie Apocalypse

After a dreadful incident involving a freshwater kracken, I've been spending a great deal of time confined to bed, whiling away the hours by searching the internet for free games. Many, if not most, of said games involve zombies, which got me thinking all along the zombies/end of the world train of thought. 

So, using CAD software that just happened to be on my computer, I built this:

The Scene: 1950's. The unthinkable has happened, and the Cold War has escalated to a nuclear emergency. After an attack of several major U.S. cities, survivors emerge from their backyard bunkers to find not a nuclear wasteland, but an atmosphere infected with a deadly virus that disfigures its victims and turns ordinary people into mindless, violent zombies. The population drops as the infection spreads, leading to months of martial law, and, eventually, a collapse of organized society.


An intrepid group of roughly ten people take shelter in an abandoned warehouse in the Chicago area. It is a large, defensible building, which, over the months, is modified into a well-defended sort of home.


Despite the risk of attracting zombies and raiders,  a fire is invaluable for the preparation of food, when one is prepared to deal with undead company. 

An overview of the warehouse interior.

A simple kitchen. 

A lofted space makes for defensible storage of essential resources such as food and water.


As supplies of prepackaged food run out, the presence of a garden and a rabbit hutch become more essential by the day.


A makeshift medical station.

The common room. A space for relaxation between zombie hunts. 
So that's my zombie camp! How effective do you think it would be in a real zombie attack? Let me know in the comments!

 Please note that the individual models and textures in this design are not my own. I merely put them together.
