I'm waking up to ash and dust. I wipe my ass and I slap my nuts, I'm breathing in my testicles. I'm wiping ass, I'm hitting balls, and slapping nuts! It really hurts! This is it, the nutpocalypse... Woah! I'm slapping nuts, I'm sucking all the toes, I'm fucking all the hoes! I cum while I'm crying!

How come all of the halloween zeds that I see are hillbillys instead of the others.

Very helpful guide. Its too bad character unlocks and such aren't explained at all in the game itself.

- There was no Summer Sideshow Event for 2014.
End of the Line was a major update, just like the Heavy Metal, Level Up, & Incendiary. If anything i think you should just rename this as "Major Updates Overview"

- Xmas 2012 is called "In Space" & Summer 2013 was called "Pier Of Pain"

- Halloween Sideshow & Hillbilly Horror are both different events.

- Something else note worthy is that after Xmas 2010, TWI removed a majority of vocal lines from the Xmas Zeds and 6 out of 10 zeds got new textures (with the Patty sadly low-res). They used these changed from 2011 - today.

- On Potato Fools (being 2011) Aperture had secret tunnels in which players would be sent to out of bound areas. This was removed after the event.
IIRC DJ Scully also had a edit to his texture (which i think was reverted back after the event), i will have to check this out.

Nice job anyways, if you like for more information or a major face lift to this guide, i would gladly help.
