Quote:Don't forget that a katana will require sharpening stones, oil, and powder, if its going to be used more than once.Originally Posted by Rylas
I think the Katana enthusiasts must be Left 4 Dead fans. Unless you've learned how to swing one around in 360˚ arcs endlessly without getting tired and with enough force to decapitate or brain the zombies, then you're just carrying around a very eccentric butter knife.
If there's anything in that game I'd like to carry around in the zombie apocalypse, it would be the Molotov. If Shane and Otis could have chucked one right behind them, they'd have been able to get to the car no problem.
Also...fire? Because that's what you want...ambulatory fire spreaders. Don't forget...there are no more fire departments. Start a fire with no way to keep it contained, plus the fact that the real terror of fire is lost on something that doesn't feel pain nor needs to breathe. -

Quote:.22LR rifle and a crowbar.Originally Posted by Aett_Thorn
Okay, so this might be a little off-topic here, but I figure that it's a good place to get info from people who are into this sort of thing.
So, the zombie apocalypse has occurred, and you're in it for the long haul. On you're journey you come across a purveyor of all sorts of weaponry (from stone-age to modern firearms). You can take only two weapons total, but your choices are limited to what you could actually carry (so no choosing a tank). What two weapons do you take to fight the zombie horde for the long run?
The .22 is quiet, lightweight and the ammo can practically be found in cereal boxes.
The crowbar is a useful tool that doubles as a head smasher. -

Just a tidbit of info...the flares. They didn't come packing them. They took 'em from the trunk of a cop car on-site, iirc.
I think it would've been hilarious had Shane shot Otis, got back to the pickup, and realized that Otis had the keys on him. -
New theory...Shane becomes the Governor.
Also, Maggie is teh kewt. -
Quote:Sometimes, we only see what we want to see. Rick doesn't want to see that Shane has a thing for Lori or that he wants to see Lori having done something with Shane. Remember the saying, "Ignorance is bliss"? Ya, pretty much applies in a world gone to ****. You need an anchor and Rick's wife and best friend are his.Originally Posted by terrible_deli
I still feel that Rick (tv show) knows there is something strange going on. He can't (or shouldn't be) that oblivious.
I think it's more Rick being sorta cowardly, towards his own problems at least.
I guess that's why Officer Rick Grimes (black and white version - Thank you Toys R Us!) occupies a spot on my desk instead of Deputy Rick Grimes. -
Quote:To be fair, at the very least Dale knew there was something going on. He mentioned it to Rick when they were first in the RV together (in the comic). He knew that Shane wasn't happy that Rick was back.Originally Posted by terrible_deli
The only way I saw it address was when Lori spit on the grave. I just assumed everyone came to the realization he was a scum bag. And I guess it was semi-resolved when Rick went back.
Granted, he is the wise old dude and all, but Shane was practically wearing a neon sign saying, "Lori's MINE". -

That's something I've been thinking about lately. Why do we assume that if there are aliens they must be orders of magnitude more technologically advanced than we are? It took our planet, serendipitously placed within a 'Goldilocks zone' around our sun with a fortuitous variety of natural mineral resources, somewhere on the order of 4.5 billion years to produce a sapient species. 95% of our species time on the planet has been spent hunting and gathering.
Looking at humanity from the perspective of geologic and evolutionary timescales, our species' technological progress over the past 100 years has been mind-boggling. In a single human lifetime we progressed from the first powered aircraft flight to putting a human being on another stellar object. We haven't yet developed FTL travel, why should we assume that we've been beaten to the punch?
Also, look at all the mass extinction events our planet has experienced. Had something like the KT event not happened, there could've been sapient lizards here rather than sapient apes. Each one of those pushes the timeframe back.
While it may have taken 4.5Ga to get to us, it's only been roughly 500Ma since the trilobytes were scuttling around the sea floor. -
It appears that Grimm is also being played on Syfy. I saw in my on-screen guide that they are playing it on Tuesday @ 6pm Central. I don't know if that's going to be a constant thing or it's just a one-off, but it is there.

Well, two different things have happened since I put in the Catalyst 11.9 drivers.
The first being that on program exit, the system essentially locks up. There's a black screen, but the taskbar is still visible. I can click on the browser tabs, but they don't bring anything up. I still end up having to reboot.
The second being that I'm still getting the same BSOD message that I got in the OP. It's slightly better in that it's a tossup between the two options rather than constant BSOD on program exit. -
I'll give Grimm a shot. Looks interesting enough. Though the guy from Caprica is kinda tainting my view of it a bit.

Took like 2 days or so, to get my Token for purchasing points. I believe that I received the monthly Token at the same time. I've had 2 sitting in my account for a couple days now.
So, at the very least, I either got the monthly one ahead of time or way frickin' late. -

Hmmm...odd seeing Chuck being the Morgan.
Sarah would've looked better in a corset and without the garter belt. But they've maintained the tradition of finding some method of getting her into her skimpies.
It's kinda sad knowing that this is the last season of Chuck.

I thought this would be about a new Clerks animated series...

Aliens, much like alcohol, are the cause of and the solution to, most of life's problems.

Quote:Look at the tech we have now. And then look at 12 oz Mouse.Originally Posted by MentalMaden
It's funny how they make the argument that these ancient carvings don't have native features, yet nobody ever considers they may have just been really bad artists. Give me crude 3000 AD tools and I'd make you think we'd been invaded by ameobas.
By comparison, those 3000 BC (I hope that's what you meant, cuz 3000AD tools haven't been invented yet) are the Mona Lisa and the David.

I don't recall them actually addressing it much. I think most of the people there knew it was coming at some point. Dale certainly knew it was going to come to a head someday.

*MASSIVE SPOILER TERRITORY*
That's because he wasn't.
Rick and Shane end up arguing about moving the camp when they are outside Atlanta. Rick wants to move because it's getting cold and snowy (does it actually snow there? I don't have any clue.) and Shane thinks that the Army is going to come over the hill any day now. They argue about it a couple of times while at the camp. The last straw is when Amy gets killed and Jim gets bit.
Rick and Shane go "hunting" in the woods and Shane spills his guts about loving Lori and how Rick coming back messed everything up. He pulls his gun on Rick and Carl shoots Shane through the neck. They bury Shane and get on the road.
They get to the point where they are almost out of food and find the gated community. (Slightly prior to this they find the black football player whose name I forget ATM, his daughter and her boyfriend.) They start recon'ing it and stay for a night. The next day Rick sees the sign about everyone being dead/zombied in there and to stay out. They beat feet and Donna dies.
They are then on the road looking for pretty much anything. They stop at one point and go scouting. Rick, Carl, and Glenn(? not sure who the third is) are in the woods and Carl gets shot in the back by Otis. There is no deer. It appears that Otis thought he was a zombie.
