I guess the people at Telltale Games know their target audience pretty well, having released scant details on the upcoming Walking Dead series of episode games save that they will be graphically violent: “It’s very early on in the process, but I’m looking at story points and I think they’re going to make some announcements [...]

News from the rumor mill suggests that Kirkman’s Anti-Zombie magnum opus may soon take on videogame form: 1UP is reporting that Telltale Games sent them a mysterious invitation to an event where they will be announcing a video game “based on a just-launched property from the TV and comic book world whose popularity is changing [...]

It just wouldn’t be a week monitoring the pop-culture/journalism feeds without another piece that combines ivory tower cloud-talking with dubious historical analysis to frame a piece expressing befuddlement with, and general distaste for, the presence and popularity of the Differently Animated in media: What are we to make of AMC’s The Walking Dead?

Somehow, though I forget how at the moment, I learned of this Holy Taco article on the 6 ‘Types’, or as I indicated above, Stereotypes, of Zombies that have been found in The Walking Dead tv show to date (apparently).

The Walking Dead’s debut episode had 5.3 million viewers, making it AMC’s highest rated show and the highest rated cable debut of the year: The show, which was originally scheduled to premiere a week earlier but was pushed back to Halloween because of a football game, opened with more than 5.3 million viewers — the [...]

I already mentioned the shameless stunts being pulled by AMC with their faux-Zombie protests worldwide to promote their odious adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s travesty of a comic book series. However, it fell to the mainstream press to pour salt in the emotional wounds of the Zombie Rights movement that said stunts inflicted. From the Washington [...]

It’s bad enough that Robert Kirkman’s Walking Dead series has proliferated into television, but now they’re undermining legitimate Zombie protest marches with their own crude imitations, all in the name of promoting their violent, Living Supremacist propaganda: In anticipation of the premiere of AMC’s new series The Walking Dead on Sun., Oct. 31 at 10/9c, [...]

It must be hard to be Robert Kirkman, celebrated Zombie hater and comic auteur. I mean, sure, you have a enormously successful series of comics denigrating the Differently Animated, and your tv show based on said comics is almost sure to be a smash hit, bringing the gruesome anti-Zombie violence to the small(er) screen in [...]

Big review behind the cut.

Sorry gang, got a bit distracted running the ebay Lurch and dealing with some stuff in real life. Nothing to do with roving anti-Zombie mobs; just day-job kinds of things. We attended a party on Saturday night with some friends not in the Zombie Rights or indie movie community, and had an opportunity to try [...]
