lunker 274 Posted August 25, 2010 They released the trailer for The Walking Dead show: That is awesome. I hadn't read a comic book in years, but I picked the first issue up on a friend's recommendation. They are great reading. There are no sentimental, happy endings. It is the brutal, relentless reality of survival and death in a zombie world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caine 147 Posted August 25, 2010 Yeah - I'm pretty excited for TWD. I think the last time I got this excited for a show it was Jericho. Hopefully it has a more successful run. That is awesome. I hadn't read a comic book in years, but I picked the first issue up on a friend's recommendation. They are great reading. There are no sentimental, happy endings. It is the brutal, relentless reality of survival and death in a zombie world. Same here - I think it had been over 15 years since I picked up a comic, and then someone on another forum recommended it so I figured why not. Once you start reading it, it sucks you in.. .and now here I am reading issue #64 during my lunch break Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It takes a few months for new ones to come out since they are made up of three or four regular issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fliks 20 Posted August 27, 2010 one thing I was thinking, they can't show everything from the comic. some of that stuff is way too gruesome. some of these scenes though, it's like they used the actual panels from the comic as the story board, I remember those panels.

Caine 147 Posted August 27, 2010 Some of the early reports have been that the show is being pretty true to the comic. I agree tho - some of the stuff in the comic is brutal and it'll be interesting to see how it plays out on TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbk 188 Posted August 27, 2010 I'm interested to see how much gets covered in the initial six episodes... and what characters get left out/rolled into others. Also interested to see the eventual casting... should be good. I was pretty psyched when I saw that Lennie James was cast (Jericho fans know who that is ).

bbk 188 Posted August 27, 2010 http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/mobile/08/ ... tml?hpt=C2 Haha, great title/attention grabber for an article about back up, emergency phones. It is an interesting read though. I know we have plenty of radio hobbyists, and I'd like to eventually get accustomed to HAM radios. I've used SINCGAR, STU-III, and STE-- but the details still make my head spin. In the mean time, the idea of having a mobile, back up line, albeit not secure, is a solid idea that I'm surprised hasn't been discussed sooner... or is just one of those things people would rather not reveal (OPSEC reasons, etc). When I was in, I actually ran two phones-- my personal line and "Bat phone" for this exact reason. I think there are still issues though having a back up phone that relies on the public lines. As noted, its not secure (though that's not really an issue for the civilian sector). Also, if the public lines are susceptible to interference, then so are the back up phones. There are plenty of other reasons I'm sure, I'm just not a communications specialist. Just an interesting read, and it had some definitive ties with this thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OnefastNotch 0 Posted August 29, 2010 I'm not going to read through the 68 pages of the thread to see if it was mentioned but for those of us who believe in the coming zombie war you should all read the Zombie Survival guide written by Max Brooks and his other book World War Z. there actually pretty entertaining books I have them both lol.

It'd be kind of difficult for any designer to make something without a name or theme in place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
