Have you checked out the book "Night of the living Dead:Behind the scenes of the most terrifying zombie movie ever(written by Joe Kane.) " Book reviews on zombie culture will be awesome. Also what are your thoughts on "Return of the living dead"(there is also a behinds the scenes book as well).

[zurvived]

@Themadbomber187 thanks for the feedback we have read several books on Zombies, but not the two you mentioned. We can definitely look into adding book reviews.

i got dead island when it came out and havent stopped playing it since...its sooo awesome

[zurvived]

@YoungKoiFish we didn't get to play it long enough, How would you rate it against other Zombie games you have played?

Hey, thanks for covering me! I agree that the two weapons you featured are a bit unpractical (loved the "cooperative"). But those were meant provocative and satirical (a bit of both). I believe a strong slingshot crossbow, with scopes, is much more adequate to the task to protect yourself from the undead. Silent, accurate and skull crashing powerful.

Ok no plan got it. If ya aren't a horror fan and this happens your screwed for not watching. lol Thx for answering guys.

@liquidpig lol its not really lame, they're a pharmaceutical company that sells medicine. What's so lame about that?

[liquidpig]

@Bubblejet64 Lame, you don't even have Mandi's xanax on there

@dallasdeadeye The cat thing is brand new, starting with this episode... I don't know if I like it either. Though I do like a feedback section, just not necessarily the cat bit.

[liquidpig]

@PMNS1995 What? GAR didn't remake DOTD. He was a producer on the NOTLD remake ('90) though. I think you got your information mixed up somewhere.

[liquidpig]

I recently purchased a PS3 basically so I could play Dead Island.. it's so fun. I hope other recent zombie games like Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead, etc, are on par.

[PMNS1995]

The girl had a problem with people taking others movies and making a remake, and then she says like Dawn of the Dead. George A. Romero made his own remake of Dawn of the Dead, so nobody stole it.

We've been to Jefferson... good call

Hey, those two weapons were designed for fun and not practability. Joerg has several other invented weapons (mostly sling-shots) that could handle the job easily and at at distance. Please do not under-rate him. He does make quite powerful weapons from just wood and a bit of rubber. He's also a lot of fun to watch with his kittens in the background practicing their ninja skills for the coming apocalypse. :)
