The Walking Dead Game - Game Play & More

Well the other day I decided to have a go at The Walking Dead game and I know I smack talked it when I first saw bits and pieces about it here and there but damn, it shut me up. It's freaking awesome.

So here we go with the review and some insight into what you will be getting in the game.

They are in 5 parts at 400 points a piece and I think they are going to come out every month. And hey they aren't VALVE so they should be good on their word!

Ok so set up, I do suggest you put on the subs as sometimes it can be a little awkward to hear what people are saying so it'll help.

There are two ways to play, STANDARD which gives you hints and points out things in the background for you and MINIMAL where it's pretty much all up to you. My first time around I picked STANDARD as I am no gaming master.

If you have no interest in the game but are an achievement whore this game is freakin' good for that. Each one is worth 25 a pop [if I recall] and you get them all just by playing the game which is very easy but also... where's the challenge and the creativity?

The art work is so pretty and amazing I just want to stare at it all day. It's cell shaded and looks alot like the comic book come to life which is really nice to see and also a nifty touch, makes it very stylish and very much part of The Walking Dead franchise. It's flawless looking.

Our main guy is a fello called Lee who is on his way to prison and is looking rather glum about it. Lee is a decide person to play as, he's likable, animated and also has one hell of a smooth Barry White style voice. He's a very likable character cus nothing is worse then playing someone who you can't stand..

The Walking Dead is a very different game to most zombie related and horror survival games out there. If you have every played Project Indigo / Fahrenheit you will be similer with this sort of game play. You interact with the other characters by picking a reply to them, you often have four choices and a limited time to make your reply.

Deepening on what you say sometimes means another character's actions will be different to you in the near future or much further down the line so every action has either a positive or negative effect on you and how you will be treated in the future.

If you take too long to make your choice it just picks one for you.

The hints are very good for a first time player or someone new to gaming as a whole.

More examples of awesome art used.

Your world in the game is very small and you can only look at things the game wants you to look at, you have pretty much zero freedom to move about and see other things, very much a set piece but not every game has to be a sand box.

Next big part of the game play is this adventure sort of tool where you have options to talk to someone, look at something, interact with something so that's pretty neat and also makes the game so much different from your normal horror games, it's refreshing.

Combat! it's EVERYONES FAVOURITE.... QUICK TIME EVENTS!!! mash buttons to not die, ah who couldn't love it? yes the combat is quick time event based but for the most part you have a fair bit of time to do something I think I only died in the game twice.

So yes, quick time and in some cases you need to grab something quick and then aim with your right stick at the target you want to hit and press the right button to attack, but it's well timed and no need to panic about it.

You also have tough calls to make during the game, again these choices will determin what happens to you in the future. You really need to play this game a fair few times to get all the story out of it which makes the replay value much better then games like L4D or DEAD RISING you can keep playing and see what outcomes you get.

I knew it would be one big escort mission but since the game has such a simple path the AI at least can't get in trouble or walk off and get munched on by zombies and this girl? she's really sweet and adorable, nothing worse then having an annoying fuck chained to you.

You will meet cannon cast from the show/comic and you will meet people new to the franchise. There will be people you like, doubt fancy and hate! But this is one zombie AND adventure game with a twist.

Also due to the set nature of this game.. no shitty cam angles! Hey SONIC TEAM, please take note.

Blast from the past!

I bought Atmosfear/Nightmare today the DVD version which I had no idea was a real thing.. last time I played this I was freakin' 8 years old.. Time to get some beers in, some pizza and invite some good mates over for some suitably grown up fun.

Highschool Of The Dead

Why yes I AM alive... it's been a busy, hectic ands stressful time for me in the real world so this is a fun review on something I've watched twice now.

(2010)

This anime has 12 episodes and come in both English and Japanese with English subs but if I was you... I'd really, really not watch the English version, they make jokes and references fit for the western world like 'who is she? Sarah fucking Paling?' but they are so out of place with a very obvious IN JAPAN based show and far too many curse words are added in.

It's like western audiences can't enjoy something unless there is pointless 'FUCKING A's added or something... but the Japanese version is very good /weeabo

So yes, story is the same as any good Zombie related show or movie. Normal day everyone is just doing normal shit and suddenly ZOMBIES and all of the city and later all of Japan is up shit creek.

So yeah, based on a main guy, the girl he fancies and a bunch of other students who don't know each other very well and the school nurse band together to escape the school and find a safe haven together and to survive.

They later meet a little girl and save her and normally I'm very very against whiny kids.. but she's not annoying and is very adorable, awww. So yes the show is everything you'd want for in a zombie related show and more! The gore is awesome, it's very gory and the characters for the most part pretty awesome/

The show is emotional too, you really end up liking the people and do care what happens regardless of them missing a third dimension. The animation is swish and not too typical of anime where it's all yap yap yap and no ones mouth moves. There are really good fight scenes.. some really WTF moments.

There is a matrix boob scene.. I don't know if the person who made it has even seen real tits... but son, they do NOT work like that and they certainly don't make 'badooong' noises when they move. Every girl in the show minus the little girl are smuggling large melons around to help them survive the days ahead.

The cast is pretty cliche..

Snobby rich smart girl

Main calm cool hero but doesn't want to be type

Hot girl love interest [who does kick ass]

Hot silent, serious girl

Ditsy blond with huge tits

Fat nerdy guy who comes in use.

But other then the cliche to the max cast they are good to watch and like I said it's a very gory and emotionally charged show. But I do find all the woman wanna jump on Mr calm guys dick like no tomorrow.. I don't know if it's due to him just being a 'swell guy' or the only other cock provider is a nerdy fat dork..

Either way..

OH and if you like tits and ass? this anime is full of it. Ass and tits EVERYWHERE it's a very fan serivce fuled anime and you could tell the person making it was having a very long dry spell and needed to see someones ass and tits regardless of who or whats. But if you don't mind that then this is a great anime, if your really not a fan of over sexed things... boy you will hate it in the first ten minutes.

The show also shows the nature of people who survive, we have a teacher who is nuts and saves a handful of students but turns them into a sex crazed cult who follow his every word. It's good to have a show that's kids trying to survive in the end of the world type deal and how they are forced to grow up and cope with it.

Plot: 3/5

Gore: 5/5

Animation: 4.5/5

Over all enjoyment: 5/5

Sonata

[2004]

Sonata is a strange, strange boring ass movie. I bought it for 75p so I don't know what I expected to be honest but maybe more then a soundtrack of strange armature background music.

So out epic journey starts with a girl in some sort of old fashion dress playing piano while her mother and three very rich middle aged people watch on in glee. The girl is Mega our main character who has a very over protective mother and has the girl home schooled.

This mother daughter relationship is hella creepy, Megan isn't allowed out the house, has a tutor, is only allowed to read what her mother writes as she is a novelist and also.. washes her mothers hair in the bath..

cough..

Her mother tucks her in to bed and tells her creepy stories of a girl who dared to betray her mother and fall in love with a man and loved herself more then her mother, which is pretty creepy but the only thing that is slightly interesting about the whole movie.

The movie is so low budget and slow I found more entrainment in drawing around my note page, I do bitching bunny rabbits and a sun wearing sun glasses, fo real. Anyway at first we think even if their relationship is very.. odd they are at least very loving.

It's clear the girl is very lonely and has to do everything for her mother from bathes to making tea to doing all the house work and never ever leaving the house or being allowed to talk to anyone.

Then the movie decides to be all 'whaky' and her mother brings home a creepy marionette type performer for her to see and understandably it freaks her out and she runs to her room which really pisses her mother off. Pisses the mum off so much that she just has to shag the creepy performer.. what.

So about half an hour in and fuck all has happened other then me being very creeped out by the horrible manikin looking man who bonked her mother..

The girl is sent to give a gift basket to a friend of her mothers and she see's a man who says nothing but looks at her, from then on odd things start to happen as the girl gets wrapped up in this mans image.

Soon Megan gets love letters from a mystery man which causes her mother to flip her shit and go mental at her girl but Megan is innocent, she's never disobeyed her mother and has never talked to this man who is sending her very deep love letters.

The mother starts to be untrusting and raids the girls diary and later decides to make her feel awful about herself, asks her if she thinks about boys.. sex.. and gets her to remove her clothes in front of her. Bad horror movie turning into some kinda freaky mental abuse story... She makes he feel bad about the way she looks leaving her to cry.

This pushes Megan into further crazy and she starts to see the man she saw at her mothers friends house all the time, half of it looks so real and half of it seems like it's all in her head, this is at least done well in the movie and makes it a little interesting.

More love letters come as well as a gift in the form of a fucking nasty china doll who is as ugly as sin. Her mother hides it away not telling Megan about it.

This movie still remaining rather boring also becomes awkward as Megan thinking more about this man who she met a split second and keeps appearing has a bath which looks like it's made from milk.. and well she masturbates while her mother listens in.

What.the.fuck.

Her mum then goes out to get drunk with her agent who becomes a dirty pedo and says all the horrid uncomfortable cliche stuff to the young Mega. He's come to 'tuck her in' and 'come sit on Uncle Alan's knee..' this makes me feel very uncomfortable as it's one of the few things I do not condone.

This horrid and awkward pedo scene goes on and he takes her first kiss. But as he leaves the house he gets what is coming to him as the man of Megan's dreams kills him. Which once again makes us wounder if he's real or a head boyfriend..

So odd things go on and soon Mega sneaks out the house all dolled up with make-up and a nice dress to spend the night with her boyfriend but when she returns and changes back into her night things her mother who's always been reading her diary confronts her, beats the crap into her and locks her into a closet where she will stay until she's learned her lesson.

The last scene is like a bitter end to a fairytale, Megan makes her mother a cup of tea and pretends all is well and like she has given up on the man she loved. Plays piano for her mother as she relaxes fort the evening but the mother doesn't know that Megan put chemicals in her tea and is planning to kill her.

As the poison takes effect on her mother she falls tot he floor, dying and crawling towards Megan who knows what has happened but doesn't care she just carries on playing piano.. untll her mother shoots her a few times.

The movie ends with mother and daughter curled up dead together on the floor.

And I feel I spent the last 90 mins watching the horror movie version of THIS

Scares: 0/5

Gore: 0/5

Creepyness: 2/5

Acting: 1.5/5

Overall: 0.5/5

Necromentia

[2009]

Now on the back of the DVD it says it's inspired by Clive Barkers work.. if 'inspired' means pretty much ripped off then I will agree. It reminds me of Hellraiser in so, so many ways but despite that it's still a good movie.

The plot keeps going from one focus to another every other scene almost so it's a little hard to keep up with unless your paying attention.. unlike me who is writing notes the whole way through. Ugh.

It's based on the lives of three main people. A man called Travis and his handicapped brother, a fay man called Hagen and his dead wife and a mute. But you don't see much about the mute fello till the end.

The movies entrance sequence is alot of creepy and different flashing images which really gets you interested in what the movie has to offer, it's gory and stylish and is a good taster of what's to come. Hagen, the fat guy waked up in a shitty sort of rape ally meets a Freddy Kruger pipe works area almost naked and dripping blood from his back.

Voices of a woman ring all around him and he is pretty confused as anyone would be after waking up in a small shitty alley covered in blood and a massive headache, it's like an average weekend for some students though...

We then see our first demonic being which spouts some crap at the man.

The next scene is the fat guy Hagen talking to his dead wife and giving her a bath, talking about keeping her nice and clean, how he loves her and how he is going to bring her back to life. His basement is full of odd shit and when he gets her out the bath and hooks her into some freaky contraption to test her joints or something it's very much a Frankenstienish image.

There is even an awkward scene where he speards her legs and looks up 'there' with a flash light. Yep, still dead. I have no idea why this was part of the movie but the guy looks like a massive creeper anyway so what do I know? looking at dead people's genitals might be the standard for creeps?

The woman playing dead needs to be a little more.. 'dead' acting as you could see her breathing from time to time and moving her eyelids, I'm sure playing dead is hard but it's these small things that people like me notice that takes from the hard work they had done thus far.

Next scene we have is the man working in a barbers shop and two biker-y types burst in and tell him they know about his dead wife, the baths and the necrophilia and give him the most uncomfortable shave of his life.

But one biker also tells him there is a way to bring his wife back.. they have the power to bring the dead back to life and they want to help him. Biker with shades gives him a sob story about how he was going to do this to his brother but they'd burnt the body before he had a chance.. desperate to get his wife back to life he goes with these very shady folks.

There is alot of occult themed talking and mumbo jumbo and out comes the occult books and all the gab that comes with it. I've watched enough horror to know an odd bit or two about Ouija Boards but this is a whole new concept and it's pretty neat. By carving the board into someones back you can use them to get the dead back or go into hell.

So this is how fat man ends up with a bloody back, he has a nice new cut tattoo of the occult on him.

Now we go back in time and see our next main character 'Travis' his folks are dead and he is struggling for money, skint, living in a shit hole and having to look after his mentally and physically disabled younger brother.

Now we really end up feeling sorry for Travis, seeing the struggle he's going through, coping with money issues and a brother like this. Trying his best to make a life for them both and it seems really frustrating having a brother with so many problems and doing it all alone and he has a job to try and keep at.

He leaves his brother to go off to work and leaves the TV on for him... This is where the odd part of the movie comes in, this really happy and cheerful song about suicide comes on and a really big pig character called 'Mr Skinny' comes to entertain the brother and try get him to kill himself..

Nothing like seeing a really fat man in barbwire..

We are then taken to another scene which seems a mix between a Jigsaw trap and extreme bondage as a woman is tied to a very flash but grimey looking table in all sorts of BDSM style ropes and belts while a masked figure tortures her. Alot of well done gore and realistic blood which is an awesome point of this movie, none of the gore looks fake it all looks pretty good. Some of the best I've seen if I'm honest.

We then learn that the crazy woman paid for the torture and the masked man is Travis, yes his job is torture.

Travis is also hooked on drugs and does some after his little 'job' and has what most people think is a bad trip but he meets a grey awkwardly handsome demon who keeps visiting him in his head from time to time and is trying to worn him about the bad things going on with his brother at home.

He rushes home and catches his brother before he kills himself but from then on realises he can't leave his brother alone any more... He asks another scruffy looking man, a friend to look after his brother while he goes off to maim more people for money.

Sitter falls asleep and the brother with the aid of Mr Skinny kills the friend and hangs himself.

Demon once more warns Travis to go home but it's too late, the demon then makes a trade with Travis, if he helps the demon he will get his brother back and soon Travis is taught all the occult stuff and practises on his dead friend, cutting the Ouija board into his stomach.

Soon after this the plot goes nuts and moves away from these two people and to the mute guy and how everyone's pasts all link up.

I won't go into that as it's an awesome end plot and it finishes it up really nicely and neatly.

Monster's all look like they got dropped from the Hellrasier final cut, the gore is very well done. The actors are good, the acting good, stylishly shot with the dirty grainy feel the whole movie has from start to finish.

I had no ideas what this movie would be like but it's a good one.

Plot: 4.5/5

Gore: 5/5

Acting: 4/5

Scares: 0/5

Ju-On / The Grudge Manga

Please excuse all terrible pics, I took them of my own copies on camera so.. yeah.

[2006]

The two manga follow the book/movie loosely but the two stories are very different and the families that suffer and the deaths are a whole new thing. If your a fan of the franchise this manga is a very good new story to go with it. I read the book and I've seen the movies tho, ages ago and I didn't make many connections.

The art in the first one is more typical of the genre manga but it's cute and nice to look at and it stills does gore very well. You have not read a manga till you've read one where a girl gets her face broke off by cats stuffing themselves into her gob. Legend.

[2006]

Follows on from the first one with an actress who's doing well in life until she goes on one of those 'most haunted' type shows. This art work is more ..pretty and a little more enticing to a reader who isn't all about Japan.

The story is a little more mature then the first one and the gore is still present just with images that make you jump when you turn the page. Best bits about this one is a woman giving birth to hair, a man being killed by a shit load of hair.. and an odd naked child running around all over the place.

DAMN bitch must use alot of shampoo...  L'Oréal because even bitter dead woman are worth it!

From what I have seen online and the fact I needed to take my OWN pictures your best bet of reading this is to buy it. My suggestion used from AMAZON your looking at about £4 per book? cheap for manga and it's very worth a read and nice to have on your shelf if your an avid fan of Asian horror.

Art: 5/5

Gore: 4/5

Left 4 Dead - The Movie

Not a -real- movie but a very well shot piece of fan made stuff. So far there is a clip or two out there and they are doing well. This is what a good fanbase does, they wish for something and if it doesn't look like it's going to happen then they make it happen or try too.

I for one am super excited about it getting all the way done. If no one has any idea what I am talking about..

Suicide Circle

[2002]

Also known as Suicide Club

I've been wanting to see this for ages but back when I was a teenager it was very hard to find online and my skills of search wasn't as good as it is now and late last night and today I watched it and I loved... the first half. The second half went on CRAZY JAPANESE OBSCURE HUMOUR bend.

It's a typical low budget movie from Japan which isn't bad, movies don't need to be gushing cgi and fancy ass effects as long as the story is good and the acting convincing. I mean come on! The Ring was a fantastic horror and it was just a woman in a white dress and long hair, point made Japan.

So we start our movie with lots of school girls from many different schools going to the train station and lining up, they all hold hands and the most cheerful music you could ever imagine comes on as these girls see a train coming and then jump.

And the crew armed with buckets of tomato juice just chuck it all over the place! buckets of really bad fake looking blood all over the windows, people, the station runs red with the blood of fruit!

So nice action so far minus the very laughable blood but hey tomato's gotta be cheaper then red paint or food dye right?

So after 54 girls kill themselves we are taken to the hospital where two very pretty nurses are sat chatting about going to get lunch late at night and damn are Japanese nurse outfits hot. So one goes off to get grub leaving her friend to worry why it's taking her so long...

Nurse who staid gets worried and calls the security guard and no one knows whats taking the other nurse so long so soon the guard hears nothing from either of them for awhile and heads up to the staff room where he is greeted with no sign of the other nurse just a wide open window, darkness and hand prints on the window pane.. he's abit slow if he didn't think that was abit odd..

The missing nurse comes back and starts to act really odd.. she looks brain washed and casually opens the window and without a second thought announces 'Well, see ya later' and leaps out the window to her death. Just an average day!

Also a bloody bag shows up on the scene of the crime which the police take away.

'Smells like that time of the month!'

So the cops are trying to sus out why so many girls killed themselves is is a cult? is it a crime? or supernatural? oooooh! So we have taken the bloody bag to forensics and we are told that in the bag is a reel of human skin.. that looks alot like really bad cheap value ham sewn together..

I wounder what their budget of ham and tomato's was for the effects of this movie? I think some jam may have been included.

Soon they get a call from a woman who seems to be on to something and he code name is 'The Bat' she informs them there is a website that is keeping track of all the suicides.. but before they happen! white dots mean men and red dots mean woman and of course there are alot more red dots.

So back to forensics who are still trying to piece things together and one man shows us his table of mangled school girl corpses, it looks like something in a really bad art installation..

Our main cop goes home and he has such a nice family unit, a son, daughter and a wife who all seem very happy. They all watch what Japan calls 'idol' bands which the western world calls annoying girl bands.. and god is this idol band annoying and god are they EVERYWHERE.

The idol bit is important for later so you just have to deal with buckets of fucking annoying preteens singing ear killing high pitched J-pop.

Back at a high school where there are mixed feelings on the suicide cult rumours, some aren't fans and some joke about it like it's nothing. A few guys are like LOL LETS KILL OURSELVES WON'T IT BE COOL!!!! and thanks to per pressure there is a cry of YES! LETS DO IT!

One girl rushes to the roofs edge and soon everyone wants in on the action and they all hold hands on the roof and there is a count down while on lookers watch not thinking they'd do it. Soon they all jump and those buckets of tomato juice come back in force.

See back when I was a kid pokemon was all the rage... and pogs. Clearly we were not as hard core as these students.

We soon see that three people wussed out and to not wanna look lame in front of people, go through with it also.. well the guy doesn't want to then a girl decides to take him with her. So is that classed as a suicide, murder or assisted suicide? hmm

The next scene I honestly could not help but laugh at as sick as that might sound but the suicides aren't limited to young school girls and a few boys but adults too. A woman is happily passing and a guy falls on top of her trying to kill himself! The irony was it was her boyfriend, she's more pissed about him hurting her then him trying to kill himself... I see they had an awesome relationship.

The cops by now have clocked on to the connection of the website, the sewn together ham skin and the suicides.. and realise there is a cult out there doing all this and they need to get behind it asap but will not yet class it as a murder case.

They soon get another lead that there will be another large suicide and told where to go, they see a large group of school girls and freak out! but they had nothing to worry about they only pretended to jump and things go uneventfully for our cops.

With the cult becoming such a big thing fully grown woman start to walk around with signs telling people to jump, trying to convince anyone who's bad to kill themselves and all that sort of cult-y thing.

We see a selection of people trying to kill themselves in different ways as really happy music plays in the background again.. and this is the turning point in the movie that takes us from a very good murder mystery sort of set up to a 'wtf am I watching' experience as we see a woman cutting her own hand up with no signs of pain.

Our main cop goes home and shit goes wrong for him. His girl is stood there soaked in blood and grinning like a loon but he fails to notice until he stands up and sees bloody foot prints everywhere. Damn kids and their messes -shakes fist-

It seems his happy family unit wasn't so happy and have killed themselves.. remember it's the cool thing to do these days, everyones doing it! The strange woman calls up the cop once more and gives aload of crap to him and it was clearly not to his liking as he blows his own brains out.

At the same time 'The Bat' and her sister get kidnapped by some really scruffy looking too late for punk rock scene group of guys and dragged away in bedsheets to a disused bowling ally.

Now comes the part of the movie that really throws the plot into the ditch and pisses on it. The main guy of the camp boy band suicide club starts singing to 'The Bat' and her sister while one of their group rapes and kills a woman..

I can see Japanese rocky horror picture show in this group...

So they kill 'The Bat's sister and get her to tell the cops where they are, he decides it's time they get arrested so their names will go down in history but even after they have been brought in by the cops the rash of suicides keep happening even with them behind bars.

This is where our lady who got jumped on comes back into the story, she's visiting her boyfriends place or back home can't remember and has that awful idol groups posters everywhere and she soon sees a message in the poster.. not long after she figures out the idol group are up to something she gets a phone call and given information.

She goes to the concert of the god awful idol groups concert and manages to get back stage where loads of kids are giving it the old cult mumbo jumbo but she ignores it and goes to the stage where more kids spouting even more crap are there giving her a round of applause.. by this point I am pretty lost in the movie.. I won't lie I watched the rest of it with a raised eyebrow and a 'the fuck?' look plastered on my face.

Next we see is a giant box full of woman and rats running around on the floor. Creepy kids are all watching on as a man cuts skin off of the woman to add to the sewn together skin roll and then we cut to a man who's hung himself with Christmas lights.... arg what is this.

The end of the movie is pretty much the idol group giving their last performance... the movie just kinda ends.. nothing real is given away about what happened but if you watch carefully through the movie you notice alot of things that build up to the end.

So.. the first half of the movie would get a 5/5 but thanks to the second half... well.

Gore: 1/5 [though laughable as anything]

Acting: 3/5

Story: 4/5 [first half] 1/5 [last half]

Over all enjoyment: 3/5

The Real Zombie Shopping Mall Experience

So I found out not long ago that here in the UK in Reading there is a disused shopping mall which has been taken over by zombies! Well a group of people have decided to make a live action Zombie take over live action role play.

The tickets cost £119 and you get given weapons to use all day against pretty awesome looking zombies. I think this idea is super awesome and I think everyone should try and go while they can as tickets are selling out FAST and also they have no idea how long they can run it as it is set for demolition at some point in the future.

This is a great chance for zombie and horror lovers to take part in a real feeling zombie activity, I'd suggest going as a group as things are always more fun as a group! I myself will be looking to go if I can drag people to come with me since it's not that far from where I live.

Also how badly do I want to dress up as someone from Left 4 Dead or Dead Rising and take this bad boy on?

The event does suggest that you be somewhat fit as it is very active and zombies will try and jump you and what not. Hopefully a full review on the event will happen, this is high on my MUST DO for the year.

Not much of an update as life is kicking me in the ass at the moment but hey I found myself on stage from last Sunday.

Look at how awful I am

Birmingham Comic Con 2012

Well I'm baaaack and what a weekend it was! I went to the event on just the Sunday but been away all weekend seeing friends while I was at it. So yes the event itself wasn't the best but getting to meet the Walking Dead cast was amazing and some of the little stalls there were very cool.  So this update is just a little summary!

Horror stall

Cool little key rings hand made.

Simon Bamford!

This man is lovely, we talked for about half an hour about horror as a genre, the different franchises and what we find good in a horror movie and just general chat, he was very awesome to talk to and glad I had a chance to have a natter with the man!

Bitchin' Dead Space T-shirt which I bought for my partner.

My SAW cosplay

Now for THE WALKING DEAD CAST! They were all such nice people, I had chats with them while waiting in line and what not, asking about their stay and just getting into conversation while allot of people... didn't. I know people are famous and all but they are still people. One was surprised I asked her how she was doing and seemed pleased.

Also getting into a conversation about Left 4 Dead with Chandler Riggs? bitching. All nice people and I paid so much for my book to get signed. I REGRET NOTHING!

And my awesome book

All in all I had a nice time but DAMN £2.50 for tasteless chips?
