The video games go on sale at the end of the year on steam and amazon(like 5 bucks).

The show is OK, the games and comics are better. the game is more like an interactive novel, doesn't really take much skill.

It seems that in the zombie future, everyone has forgotten that gun silencers exist.

Carl has a ghetto-looking silencer for his handgun made from a baseball bat handle.

Personally I would prefer a silencer that is made from a silencer.

I would also prefer that people call zombies what they are and stop calling them walkers. Human beings walk. Calling something a walker when its a zombie is not great use of language.

The walking dead takes place in a parallel word where they've never heard of zombies and the like, or something like that. I vaguely recall watching an interview with the creator. I enjoyed the show, haven't watched any of the last season though.
Man if you like the show you will love the comics. It's dark, gritty and awesome as hell. Spoilers abound for the tv show though (but they are very different)The game is ok too but I can't help but feel like it's a money grab but I got all of them for $6 so I can't complain.

There's a video game of the walking dead?

Anyways, suppressors are easy to make, and can be made out of practically anything.
Felt helps to quiet the action.

It's not that they don't know about them...supplies(food/ammo/etc) are scarce since most of the good items have been taken by others already.

My favorite part about zombie apocalypse fiction is how they always leave out how the corpses initially overran the living. Since zombies out in the sun, rotting 24/7 eventually all muscle would atrophy and they'd lose ability to walk, run, and chew.

This is the only show I watch and fyi season 3 is far better, writing and acting-wise, than 2.


Edit: This is an old ass thread haha

I only started watching The Walking Dead because I thought the Bad Lip Reading videos were hilarious.

I binge watched the first four seasons just two weeks ago, and am waiting to catch up on Season 5 on New Year's Day.

The video games are interesting, because the art work is very well done and the emotions of the events are hard-hitting. But I wouldn't pay more than $20 for both seasons. Right now on XBOX 360, you can get both seasons for $17 or so. That's a limited time sale, though. So act now. :)

I've been reading the stupid fucking comic for years now and I feel obligated to check on it every few months to see if they've managed to jump the shark again. They always find a way.
 
I liked the comic better than the show until the recent shit they pulled.

Now in this fifth season, the show is better. Actions they're taking are starting to make more sense.

Agreed. I'm midway thru season 5 and it's getting better and better. I am amazed by Rick's transition from humble cop in season 1 to a cold-hearted badass that he is now. From beta to alpha in a way. ANdrew Lincoln is really carrying the show at this point. Daryl too. Excellent casting job.

Good to see an old friend alive and well in this episode. Anyone else still following? Surprised this isn't as big of a thread as my GoT one.

I like the show, because there are zombies in it. But seriously, there are zombies in it that have more depth than most of the main characters. The writing is predictable, idiotic, has no continuity or congruency, and the expendable characters that get introduced every other episode have more flavour and pathos than the characters that survive since season 1.

Ill keep watching tho.

Spoiler: There is no way that character would have survive that scenario last episode. If he did manage to crawl under a dumpster like that he would be buried by all of the dead bodies he would have to kill to survive, with no chance of getting out. I also don't know why it took 2 episodes to reveal his fate either. Why did the heard thin out too?

I think Coral is going to be shot in the eye soon.

^ Every time one of these dingleberries is "pardoned", it boomerangs around and bites 'em in the ass. The main crew has long since learned to kill when it has to be done, and yet they keep pulling this shit. As a viewer, it's like, you want to see 'A', but you get 'B', and you feel like throwing something at the screen. Ugh, I've followed the show the whole freakin' time through.

Silencers aren't really silent anyways, they just muffle enough that it's hard to locate the origin of a gunshot from a distance. I played a lot of State of Decay and it was ridiculous how shooting without a silencer would spawn like forty zombies to come check out the noise, while putting a silencer on caused absolutely no noise whatsoever.
