Drool!

I've had a zombie obsession since I was a kid. I still have zombie slaying dreams every few weeks. Last night I had another zombie dream and was slaying zombies left and right. Really my favorite dreams/genre of movies. This is going to sound nuts, but I have lucid dreams where I know I am dreaming and am able to somewhat control what happens in the dream so I have quite a few zombie dreams.

This game looks brilliant to me. I really really hope it turns out good!!

I have dreams like that too, not Zombie ones but just random weird situations.

Lol, maybe your brain was subconsciously telling you not play with Pam and the 5 kids so much.

I re-edited that vid a couple weeks back, altered the speed of some scenes just slightly, and added all new audio etc. Added music from 28 days later as well.

DC universe online was a prime example of that - CGI trailer was the best clip ive ever seen of anything in my life - then the gameplay videos are released and it turns outto be the complete opposite of the trailer

Well the trailer wasn't made by the devs, apparently. They just commissioned it, so to speak. One thing that nags me about the trailer is the response to it; countless whiners holding moral high ground. Oh, thou heartless fiends, how dare you do this to an image of a child? Christ, it's as if children aren't vulnerable or something.

The first action scene in the TV series The Walking Dead is the the deputy putting a slug in the forehead of an 8 year old zombie girl with a teddy bear, I don't remember a peep from that.

People react differently to different entertainment mediums.

Theater is fine going as far as to include rather debauched topics such as incest, sexual depravity, rape, murder etc. (See Antonin Artaud)

Literature is fine going as far as to present a double-barreled shotgun to the genitalia of the female sex. (See James Herbert's The Dark)

Cinema is fine going as far as to strap people down into chairs and torture them to death. (See Hostel and other pseudo-snuff films)

Television is fine going as far as to allow Bill O'reilly screen time. (Don't see Bill O'reilly)

Gaming isn't fine. You have illogical mothers to thank for that. Often a game will fly under their radars, other times there'll be some panicky bint flailing around and sobbing about how she bought her child an 18+/M-rated game and it corrupted him, leaving out the bits about how she failed to raise him to not be a massively impressionable trend-follower who blithely adopts anything thrown at him; after all, she's the perfect mother because she cares, right?

That's an isolated example and of course I'm basically just reiterating what countless others have already made obvious, but nothing's changed. I found some video somewhere of this guy shutting the trailer off at the 6 second mark and immediately going off on a rant about how the developers (he was clearly too correct to do his research) were all soulless people, simply because he imagined that they'd never had children; his doing so making him nice and polished on his obsidian podium atop his moral high ground. Oh dear me, I've gone and used moral high ground twice.

tl;dr people suck, bro.
