Mindblowing Zombie Experiments

Rooster Teeth 'Immersion' Puts the Classic Game Genre to the Test

The latest episode in the endlessly inventive Rooster Teeth Immersion web series will have fans of the zombie genre nodding along with knowing delight.

Like all of their previous episodes, this installment focuses on a common archetype in video gaming that is ripe for a reality check. In this case, that is the issue of characters in zombie games effortlessly pulling off headshots despite little or no actual firearm training. Therefore, with the always impressive production values fans of the Rooster Teeth Immersion series have come to expect, the team sets out to mischievously test this age-old mechanic.

But as is almost always the case with their experiments, the results aren't half as important as how they get to them.
