"Why's the Bombcast new icon up?" I wonder to myself before clicking, "Aaah! No more surprises Giant Bomb! Please I just can't take much more."

This is pretty cool. Not at all a fan of The Walking Dead (Telltale should make a Breaking Bad game!), so I probably won't play the game, but I love me some Whitta! Let's hope the game will have better dialogue than the show or the comics.

@Cloneslayer: Season one = six incredible episodes.

Season two = thirteen mediocre episodes that probably should have only been six episodes.

Finally, a zombie game with a focus on story elements... all those action zombie games miss out on an opportunity for story immersion.

GOTO CBSi's GAMESPOT.com site and they have a weekly release and download only articles dating back to like 2004 or something like that and they include dates of release etc, since your in the same damn office talk to the news department of gamespot and they'll let you know, or watch GSpot's OnTheSpot thursday at 11am PST/2pm EST/1pm CST, god your like neighbors that i don't talk to that live in my neighborhood, and you actually know the people in the know, Tricky Scoops talk to the GameSpot News dept more often and get the release date schedule or put links to GameSpot's releases articles on CBSi's GameSpot.com! i mean i know your the nWo and there WCW and CBSi is WCW's Four Horsemen/Dungeon of Doom, but damn behind the scenes most of them were tight like brothers and just counting money and wiping butts with money, like the GDC video that Peter Molyneaux gave to GDC of what he's doing with his kick starter money, if you haven't watched IGF Awards and the GDC Awards they are on GameSpot.com and their Twitch.tv page as well as google.com's YouTube for onDemand Streaming purposes as well as talks at GDC 2012 as GameSpot live streamed all the events and talks at GDC 2012...shit i know more than half the crew on the BombCast and i'm on the outside with a side blog and pay gamefly.com to get most my games, and then buy 'em on PSN, and you guys are either still Drunk from the Canadian Beers or your brains are farting and just barely moving your bodies, if this sounds like hater material, i love these fucking guys and gamespot.com and been on the internet through fucking bbs's then AOL1.0 on windows 3.1 and DOS, and just turned 30 last year so, i love the fucking internet and life in general, i just think if you guys are the nWo you guys should invade the GameSpotters ontheSpot and Watch the News and New Release videos on GS ontheSpot, until you guys get to be totally better then anything they can ever do, til the nWo wins and chages WCW into a clone of WWF Attitude like when Vince Russo killed WCW ( I still think Vince McMahon sent Russo as a mole to kill WCW with Ed "Oklahoma" Ferrara, but that's my feeling).....

PS/SELF EDIT: peace another Great Podcast, didn't want it to end but your still on a PAX-EAST hangover between flights and bar-hopping etc. it took me almost two weeks to get back to normal after going to San Diego, CA in the (619)BOO-YAH-KA! lol! Was there to visit my grandma for almost two weeks, and then another two weeks to get on the right coast bed time... so loved the PAX Panel and the Subscribers Pre-Show video and all the Street Passing made me jealous, lol and the "Spot Pass-ing" as a Shitting in a stall/urinal made me spit soda across the room at a wall, lmao right now just thinking of that....

ME and some gun nuts I know came up with a great plan for zombie attacks.  Avoid  populated areas only use low caliber common weapons  oh and research and development is very important.  Inventing weapons that require less or no gunpowder and has reusable ammo. I think we came up with a great idea of a metal spike thrower made like a pitching machine sit it up right and you can hand crank the thing.

Invest points in Chemistry early. If you're stuck in a place with a horde around, half diluted bleach and a super soaker will take most of them out in a day or two. Nobody would think to grab the household cleaners while fleeing so there should be plenty just about everywhere.

One of the reasons I hate the "zombies have us surrounded" scenario. If you can survive a day or two without direct contact, just blanket them in chemicals and it'll kill them just like it would a normal person.

@Oginam:  Not if you can't destroy the brain  The brain is the linchpin they are still a threat even if they are just a head if the brain is still intacked . 
 
Sense zombies don't really breathe and their blood flow is questionable  being dead and all chemicals are only really useful if you can get it to their brain directly.

Assuming you're alive due to being careful and not "immune", that'd mean you're surrounded by melted zombie parts, which seem like a fine vector for infection. The cleaner, the better. If getting covered in zombie goo ain't a problem, knock yourself out. As for me, I prefer to slay my enemies with my clever wit and sharp tongue.

If Whitta wont go to heaven, I'm turning to a life of crime right now.

This podcast was excellent. Fully pro and yet laid back. And I'm looking forward to the game.
