If you sprinkle while you tinkle...

I think every guy has come up with this idea at one point or another... well, someone finally went and invented it.



The most surprising thing about this to me is how British people say "urinals."

The Walking Dead: The Video Game?

First the comic book, then the TV show, now the video game?

It'll be tough to make a Walking Dead video game that's not simply Left 4 Dead. In fact, the TV series often seemed heavily influenced by the first-person shooter.



For example, it's clear in the comic books that zombies don't climb fences or bash open doors, but some do in the TV series -- just like they do in Left 4 Dead.

They're also a lot faster (when they get "riled up") on the TV show than they are in the comics. Probably two reasons for this -- slow zombies are kind'a boring, and 28 Days Later has everyone expecting fast zombies as well.

(In the original Left 4 Dead, Zoey memorably calls "zombie bullshit" on the speed of zombies in the game.)

Given the fact that all of Left 4 Dead is straight up first-person shooter -- and the fact that most of the Walking Dead comic book series is about humans, not zombies -- I think there's a lot of room for a video game that's more role-playing/strategy than just point and shoot.
