Notepad2 is a simple and quick text editor with the added benefit of offering syntax highlighting for many popular languages.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts.

It's cool...but I wish there was something that closer-resembled Windows Notepad.exe...

I always find myself running back to Windows notepad.exe hehe.
