This past weekend the family visited Washington DC. One of the highlights of the trip was the visit to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center  located in Chantilly VA . This is the current home of the space shuttle Discovery.

The Discovery was in service from August 30th 1984 to March 9th 2011 and completed 39 successful missions in 27 years of service.

Discovery flew the Hubble space telescope into orbit in 1990.

The main engines thrust the Discovery from 3,000 mph to 17, 000 mph in just 6 minutes to reach orbit. At an astonishing 37 million horsepower it consumes half a million gallons of liquid hydrogen.

Also at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center we were able to see the Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber Enola Gay, an SR-71 Blackbird and  Air France’s supersonic passenger jet Concorde.

Khan the Siberian Husky celebrated his third birthday this past monday, July 22nd.

You can  also buy items like t-shirts and mugs in his online store with either the khangear logo or a cool photo of him.

After moaning about this game if have strangely enough become addicted. I was able to kill my first Zombie while being munched on and killed about 30 seconds afterwards. My second attempt by stabbing one of these with a pitch fork which i found was so much easier than using the flashlight, this was put to an abrupt halt because I was surrounded by around 5 Zombies that killed me in 2 seconds.

I decided to search for some tips and hints to playing this game and surprisingly enough people have taken the time to put together some very useful information found in the Infestation Wiki.

May i suggest reading the Beginners Guide first this will help you understand the game greatly.

The first useful piece of information i found was the map of the Boulder City area of Colorado where it all takes place. It will show you safe settlements, places where players can exchange items and more. There is also an interactive map which is a lot easier to use.

After reading through the Wiki i found Infestation: Survivor Stories a lot easier and I was able to move around better without being noticed.

Hopefully I will have some more free time this week so i can put all this useful information in to play again and just see what i can accomplish.
