this morning my dd4 (who is 4 years old), was watching nerdy nummies on youtube (geekery meets cakes). I sked which one they were watching.

'the one where she makes a monkey brain cake'

misdee · 05/10/2013 19:18

ps, they love anything to do with brains atm. and dd1 (who is 13) was there as well

CockBollocks · 05/10/2013 19:21

Don't get me wrong, I'm a zombie fan. Love the Walking Dead and recently Warm Bodies is one of my favourite films along with Shaun of the Dead.

To me they are an adult thing though, violent & gory. Because I have never seen this new fangled game. So will concede IABU!!

I wouldn't buy this for my kids.
YANBU

PacificDogwood · 05/10/2013 19:21

OP, I'm with you and YANBU.

But then, I also really dislike the game Grin

kali110 · 06/10/2013 02:20

Yabu.

MrsRajeshKoothrappali · 06/10/2013 07:44

I love it!!

DS would love it!!

Do they come in double sized??

BadSeedsAddict · 06/10/2013 08:25

YANBU. The seriousness of zombies should not be trivialised. Because come the zombie apocalypse we will be unprepared Grin(off to see whether Plants Vs Zombies is free).

StillaNortherner · 06/10/2013 08:36

Plants Vs Zombies IS free and it's a fun little game IMO. I got DH into it.
Maybe you should have a play of it OP, you might like it :)

FortyDoorsToNowhere · 06/10/2013 08:47

DS aged 7 verdict is that it's gross DD aged 4 it's scary.

I don't like it but other children will

Retropear · 06/10/2013 08:58

Oh my 3 played Plants v Zombies from quite a young age 7 or 8 it's fab and we're fussy(v sheltered kids).

Yabu.

Dp is a software developer,in his last place of work,think they played it at lunch timeHmm.At the time he said it was fine,quite humorous.

Retropear · 06/10/2013 08:59

Dd loved the cherry bombs!Grin

Retropear · 06/10/2013 09:04

Do wants to know if they do a double version.

Dd would love that skull lamp,currently in a HP obsession(has a drawer full of rubber rats,bats and eyeballs for her spells).Maybe PvZ is where it all started.Grin

DumSpiroSpero · 06/10/2013 09:11

DD is just 9 and loves that game which does make me cringe a bit but tbh it's no worse than an episode of Scooby Doo (and the theme tune is hilarious).

Purplefrogshoe · 06/10/2013 09:49

My DD 5 will love that

hiddenhome · 06/10/2013 10:02

We're quite a strait laced Christian household, but even I would buy that. Plants vs Zombies is funny and ds2 loves it (he's even more strait laced than us).

Last Christmas I bought him some Plants vs Zombies soft toys.

obviouslyneedsupernanny · 06/10/2013 10:12

I don't think it's inappropriate but it's not to my taste

FortyDoorsToNowhere · 06/10/2013 13:38

Now I am getting slightly addicted to the app.

CockBollocks · 06/10/2013 22:39

I have now spent the last 30 minutes playing it on my ipad!!

Still don't like the 'I heart brains' on the duvet though!!

OP posts:
Donkeyok · 06/10/2013 22:48

My ds 8 loves it, doesn't do it for me though.
But it could be useful if you don't want to make the bed,
" you can have this but it frightens mummy can you make your own bed?"

Jagdkuh · 06/10/2013 22:52

unsure what kind of moral line your towing when your name is sweary. just an observation

YoniBottsBumgina · 06/10/2013 22:53

OMG, my 5yo would love that.

DP let him play the game on his phone about a year and a half ago - he was hooked. It's not graphic at all - the brains thing is played for laughs. He's always nicking my phone to play it now. Last I looked his zombie kill total is 27,000 something.

I was mortified when I later realised it's actually rated 12, but I don't think it's bad at all - I've seen games and films rated 6/PG which I think are less appropriate.

YoniBottsBumgina · 06/10/2013 22:53

Jag, that's not relevant at all. I'm sure OP doesn't encourage her DC to come on mumsnet.
