Spartacus is the closest I've seen to main-stream porn intended for a general audience.

Re: The Walking Dead
I chose one of the more iconic panels portraying the desperation to survive.

Re: The Walking Dead
Does Caligula count? Interesting story behind the development of that film and how funding changed the script.Blunt Force Trauma wrote:Spartacus is the closest I've seen to main-stream porn intended for a general audience.
P.S. nice colouring, BFT. If you don't mind I'm going to share that elsewhere for critique/opinion

Re: The Walking Dead
No problem. I may try and do a whole issue. But that would take about an accumulated 8-12 hours, so I will have to have some serious time to burn.

Also, here's another "end of civilization" game being released in a few months by the people who do the Uncharted series, so I'm sure it will be done well. Sort of a cross of, "I am Legend" and "Left for Dead" with a "Juno" twist.

Re: The Walking Dead
Yeah I saw that trailer...and given how damned good Uncharted 3 is, I'll be interested in playing this when it comes out.

Re: The Walking Dead
I thought this was way over the top in the believability department to survive with a few hemostats and some bandages.

Re: The Walking Dead
In issue #93...
Ah, well read it for yourself. Meh. I think I have to stop reading them as soon as they come out and just let them accumulate for a year then catch up.

Re: The Walking Dead
Yeah I watch, I still can't get over why the hell didn't
Jimmy pull the RV around so the door was opposite facing the walkers pinned against the barn
when Rick & Carl stepped on the roof after setting the barn a blaze.
I guess Jimmy was too much of a Dumbass to live

Re: The Walking Dead
Most of the TV characters are too dumb to live.
Including Carl.

Re: The Walking Dead
Ok, watched it. I won't comment till everyone has had a chance.
But one thing I will say. One of the best quotes of the series, so far, is near the end of last season. In the aftermath of the herd passing through the farm, Hershel says,
"I can't profess to understand God's plan. But Christ promised a resurrection of the dead. I just thought he had something. . . a little different in mind."

Re: The Walking Dead
While I enjoy the show, it's tough to immerse oneself from all the inconsistencies which pound the viewer constantly.
One moment they stress the need to be quiet, use suppression for their handguns, the next minute they have an all-out melee with high-powered rifles and shotguns. They have all-out hand-to-hand with the zombies, splashing zombie fluids all over themselves without a second thought, yet are concerned about having a even small scratch on their body.
I have very hard time believing they could fight zombies for several minutes, engage with crowbars and sharp implements, and screw with hurricane fencing, etc. with zero scrapes and cuts on their hands or knuckles.
It's a great series, but with a little extra thought, I think they could minimize the wackiness.
