Read this article about Glenn Beck sending a tweet about seeing Jerry Falwell. Apparently Jerry has been dead for some time and many reporters jumped at the chance to comment on this sighting. Many joked that Glenn had been seeing a zombie roaming around the streets in North Carolina.
It turned out though that he may have been talking about Jerry's son which was an easy mistake but man did it cause a little ruckus with the media.
Just thought this story was funny and wanted to share it with you guys.

Walking Dead video game Season 2 trailer
The trailer for the second season of the Walking Dead game has been released. The trailer shows many of the locations that were visited in the first season of the game. While these locations are being shown a conversation can be heard from the first season between the protagonist Lee and his companion Clementine. Unfortunately, there are no images or characters from the second season.
The main character for this new season will be the little girl Clementine. During the first season she was part of Lee's group of survivors and was something of an adopted daughter to him. Due to the events of the last season, she is now on her own and will have to make her own decisions on how to survive.
This seems to be something new that the developers TellTale are doing with their games. In the past they have done a series of episodic releases of games based on popular movies or television shows. This is the first time that they are doing more than one series with each being connected to each other. This is being done with the saved game from the first season carrying on into the second.

Dead-Island Live Action Trailer
Director B.J. McDonnell made a live action version of the Dead-Island Trailer.
Do many of you remember the trailer for Dead Island? It was a pretty memorable trailer that did really well in promoting the game. Whether or not the game was like what the trailer showed is beside the point. I do remember that they did have some controversy over having a child zombie in the trailer. Many if not all did not like the fact that a child was killed for entertainment. Though they did not have any child zombies in the game. It was a very dramatic trailer and it is one of the trailers that is in many peoples top ten lists.
Sorry about not having a Walking Dead episode review. I was not able to watch the episode due to some difficulties I was having. I will be able to catch next episode though.

Post-Halloween
Sorry it took a day late to get this out but I did want to get something out after Halloween. Now that that is out of the way I wanted to ask what many of you did for Halloween? Did any of you try and go to a zombie run or shoot? Watch any zombie movies?
I watched a few movies myself, one of them was "Night of the Living Dead". I had never really seen the movie the whole way through but only bits and pieces of it. It was an interesting thing to watch especially the ending.

Animals May Prevent Zombie Apocylpse
Found an article that talked about how animals may prevent zombies from getting too out of control. This basically talks about how there are different species of animals who would devour undead hordes. There are a lot of carrion eaters out there and a slow moving group of zombies would be great targets for them. It goes on to describe the different specific animals in different species that would be the biggest threat to zombies.
This article was pretty interesting and it showed me something that I had never really thought about before. When we see zombie movies you rarely if ever see any animals. In the Walking Dead there has been some birds, a horse, a deer and not too much more. This gets me wondering if they could make a zombie movie that incorporates this fact. They could have animals attacking the zombies in addition to the living then again that would make for a short movie.
What do you guys think?

Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 3 review
This episode was not as sad as the last one, but it had a good amount of action this time around. We get some things answered in this episode and some new questions raised as well.
Hunt for Murderer
Leaving off from the last episode the group began to search for who was responsible for setting two members of the group on fire. Tyreese was pretty confrontational at the beginning of the episode. I can empathize with him because he had just lost someone he loved. This seemed to mirror what Rick went through with losing Laurie. It seemed that Rick was trying to use his previous experience with loss by trying to talk Tyreese down. It was surprising that both of them came to blows with each other. This ended with Rick repeatedly hitting Tyreese in the face. I had almost thought that Rick had gone crazy again with him getting that look in his eyes. It seems that they are all feeling the strain.
Sickness Spreading
It looked like everyone is starting to get sick. Sasha has gotten sick as well as Glenn. The last one surprised me because he is a important character and they are putting him in a precarious position. I can only hope that they do not kill him off as his relationship with Maggie is getting interesting. It will be surprising to see who gets sick next. It looks like Hershel may be next because he has had more contact with the infected people. If he does then I do not think he would survive at his age and condition.
Carl and Hershel go for a walk
It was interesting seeing the interaction between Carl and Hershel. It seemed like Hershel was trying to become something of an adviser to Carl. When they come into contact with the walkers in the woods Hershel told Carl not to shoot them. This surprised me because they are all like shoot first ask questions later. It seemed to me like he was trying to teach Carl that he doesn't have to be violent all the time. This just seemed like a lesson that will be hard to apply in their world.
Voice on Radio
The best part of the episode was at the end where they hear the voice on the radio. I kind of wonder who the person is? I have heard some think that it is the Governor but it just does not seem like his style. He would not try and send out a message to get people to come to him. He was more likely to kill people rather than bring them to Woodbury. I think that it is someone we have yet to meet. I guess we will have to wait until the next episode to find out.

Poll Results for Governor's return
It seems a majority of you think that the Governor will return to the show sometime this season. I have been hoping we will see a showdown between him and Rick or Michone.
Maybe we will see him attack the prison when they are at their weakest. This does go with his character in that he does like to hide in the shadows and strike. They have lost a good amount of people so this would be a prime opportunity.
