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 a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

I encounter "Error Code: 31".
Does it work?

Got it!
The direct link didn't do it, but going thru the Hotmail sign up page (clicking the "Get it free" button) as Naverous recommended did.

I got mine this afternoon.
I got 2 accounts! Both were luckily free. And just right.
@live.com sounds so much better than @gmail.com, or @yahoo.com, who both have an extra letter each.
I'm happy to get these accounts. I've been waiting for a long time.

The reason why you're all getting error messages is no doubt because you using firefox to sign up at live.com . As a rule if I want to update or download any Microsoft product I'll close down firefox and use IE 7.
Even using the firefox IE extension is not always a guarantee of success. Any of you who've received the error message may want to try this suggestion which I'm quite certain will resolve any error rmessages.
I myself emailed the live.com link to my gmail account downloaded the link in gmail via IE 7 without a hitch which I'm certain will work for all of you.

@Marc Savoy: Actually, I got my first live account on Firefox, and tested the process on Opera, too (which was successful). So this doesn't require IE.

I've just signed up for multiple accounts (for the family) on .co.uk
I even got my 4 year old son one... how sad is that!? (he'll thank me when he's old i'm sure)
tried to do the same for live.com but it's not available anymore - just hotmail.com

This alternative link works at of 10:08EST... I just grabbed a bunch of them, to protect my firstname.lastname@domain.com naming convention.

Naverous has your solution if you are getting an error. It worked for me. So I got the one I wanted. I may get another.

OK, I grabbed my name as well as my handle. I'm a happy person now. I probably should link them one of these days.
