The Walking Dead Game - The End

Ok this is going to be a post about the ending of the game and stuff so look away now.

SPOILERS

The  Walking Dead

So by now Kenny has lost his wife and son who I'll be honest... not the best characters anyway also Lilly fucked off with the RV in my version because I was too nice to leave her to die like I should have. I guess she was pissed that me and Kenny jumped at the chance to kill that shitty old fucker she called Dad.

Man that was a good moment. Anyway so you make it into town with the help of angry motherly character Christa and short stack well needed comedy guy Omid.

Oh and Charles the homeless guy but sadly he lasts all of five minutes as he dies trying to save Clem who Ben,t he massive useless fucking douchebag that is Ben just runs and leaves her to get noshed on.

So anyway the ending is Lee gets bit, I choose to show everyone my bite and they all helped as much as they could, oh and I also gave my Lee the Rick treatment and had his arm removed.. I honestly thought 'hey they save someone in the comic and the show like that!' but no.. didn't work.

As a game The Walking Dead doesn't have alot of game play to offer, alot of the time I found myself so sucked into watching the story and sometimes clicking buttons to pick what Lee says that when it comes to SMASH THE FUCKING A BUTTON TO WIN I forget it's NOT a movie and it is a game that requires I do something from time to time. If you like a game full of action, this isn't for you but if you prefer something that's heavy on story then this is amazing.

So as the ending draws you have a choice when Ben gets knocked back and Lee has to pull him up or let him drop.. I could not fucking let him drop fast enough,I always thought he was a shit and annoying buthole.. he got Carly shot in the face, left Clem to get killed, also was at fault for Kenny losing his wife and child.. and when Kenny was like 'Do what you need to' I was more then 'RIGHT AWAY BESTEST BEST FRIEND' it was not a hard choice for me.

This kind of game shows you the kind of person you are in a crises.. and I am a heartless asshole. I also tried to save Shaun not Duck at the start, pfft.. kids.

So in the end Ben gets dropped, Kenny vanishes trying to save Christa and you are left alone to find Clem who you do save.

And oh god.. when your alone with her and turning into a zombie regardless of cutting your arm off... I have never sobbed so much at a game, it was intense and gripping, you have been with Lee and Clem all the way and everything I did in the game was for the sake of Clem, I always tried to do right by her and the bond they had was.. excuse me for sounding like a wussy baby.. really beautiful and touching.

The whole scene and the dialogue between the two characters feels so heart felt and gripping that it honestly broke me heart watching it. I picked for Clem to shoot Lee to stop from seeing him turn. Oh god, so many manly tears. My partner also had a cry so it wasn't just me being a massive wussy..

It was made even sadder by the fact there was some sad chick song at the end which just added to it.. and then the ending seeing Clem all alone... baaaaw.

Clem seeing her folks as zombies then having to shoot or see the one person she had left in the world turn into a zombie... really pulled at the heart strings. I'm a fan of the comic and the show but this game has raised the plot and story bar SO FUCKING HIGH that the other two media forms need to pull their acts together.

Also the ending where Clem see's two people in the distance? totes going to be the start of the next game I recon.

So cast break down..

Lee

 Is a pretty awesome guy and a great character to play as, not to mention he has hella smooth voice. Such a great stand in father for Clem.

Clem

I honestly thought as she was a kid she would be the most annoying person in the game but she's this adorable, lovely and brave little girl.

Doug

Some fat guy you don't pick cus it's him or a hot chick with a gun. 

Duck

Ok this is the most annoying person.. though he's not too bad and it's sad what happens to him.. Also don't feel too bad, he dies and comes back as Sid from Toy Story..

Glenn

Oh hey that guy from the show and comic who's pretty much 'Hi this is my cameo... bye!'

Hershal

Pretty much the same as Glenn and well.. a meany doodoo head.

Kenny

Redneck soon to be bestest best friend forever. I wish my ending with him had been a littler gayer better then it had been, but I guess punching him in the train wasn't the right way to cement the best of friendships.. I liked him all the way through tho.

Larry

That massive cunthole that no one hesitated to kill off. I hated him but I think that was the point.

Lilly

Cuntholes angry always PMSing daughter who could benefit from a good dicking.

Shaun

Yeah.. that guy

Carly

I liked her, she was a good strong non massive vagina rage monster female. I was hoping to bonk her but fucking Ben got her face blown off.

Kat

No impression on her what so ever other then her accent would change about a hundred times and sometimes altogether vanish.

Marc

Who the? where did he com- oh doesn't matter he's food now anyway.

Christa

I thought she was another rage monster women when we first meet her but she's a pretty kick ass female char in the end and I totally wanted her and Omid to have Clem.

Ben

What a useless bellend.. if ever a character I wanted to get rid of.. was so useless and lanky and stupid and useless and... yeah I had no moments hesitance to drop that fucker into the all you can eat zombie buffet.

Molly

I didn't like her or any of the Vernon's lot.. found them boring and she was just....eh....

Omid

I liked Omid and wish there had been more of him as he was a nice light hearted dash of comedy here and there but he didn't seem goofy or shoe horned in.

The Stranger

Who I'm convinced was just William Defoe in video game form..

Also sorry to chuck about a thousand images at you but I don't think it's just a coincidence that the achievements look alike..

L4D vs Walking Dead achievements..

 The games final marks from me

Plot: 4.5/5

Pacing: 4/5

Cast: 4.5/5

Scares: 1/5

Gore: 3/5

Seconds Apart

Yeah it has been a looong time since I posted but I've been hella busy with work and what not but I do love my blog and you guys who stumble upon it looking for 'zombie porn' cheers.

Anyway my review this week is 'Seconds Apart' another 'After Dark' original.

Seconds Apart

(2011)

Here we have two twins who are really twins despite the fact I can tell them apart but only just and they have a very creepy relationship together and that seems to be the theme of the movie, how twins how a gift and a link with each other.

So the movie starts with a high school party, bunch of jock types sat around the table talking about how certain girls pubic hair is cut, you know the normal things that normal teenage boys like to talk about. Suddenly one of them see's the twins and their video camera and the scene changes.

It goes from all laughter and joking to dead serious as they play a game of Russian roulette but still talk about the subject matter of girls pubic hair. One boy gets his brain blown out and without so much as a blink they carry on with the next game.

The twins are at home and had recorded the whole thing, even till the end of the movie I was never sure what it was they are always trying to find from their victims reactions or moments before they die. It's mentioned the whole way through as 'The prject' and they have about a million fucking tapes.

One hell of an awesome black cop with a passion for gum is on the crime scene and where as his partner thinks it's an open and closed 'just what kids do these days!' remark our man thinks there is something much sinister at work and goes into the school to find out why a bunch of promising young meathea- sportsmen would all off themselves and before the big game!

One girl Katie is very cagey and spills about the creepy twins and their 'gift' and how she was fooled into it before too and how they have a film on her also... Our cop gets a sicking feeling and interviews the two twins who give them shit all to work with but just makes our cop all the more suspect about them.

Not very pleased with how the cop is on to them they go to the priest who is the head of the school and grill him on who dobbed them in.

Now for a very gross scene that will make you wince as it's pretty dead on. The priest had come back from work in Africa after getting ill with what people will commonly know as 'Guine worm' a nasty parasite that just so happens to emerge in the priest just as they mention it.

These shits are bad news if they are broken and dead painful and watching the whole scene made me feel abit bluah..

Along the way one of the twins becomes very close with a girl called Eve and possibly they fall for one another and the other twin is pretty moody about the whole thing since now his brother is getting pussy and not wanting to play 'lets film freaky shit together' any more.

But first things first they decide to get rid of Katie for being a loose end. They are all in class and she starts to hear the voice of her dead father.. and then see's the priest teaching the class as him. The twins are holding hands because their magical powers can only activate when being slightly gay together apparently..

And they cause her to see things which aren't there and she kills herself.

I have no idea how they managed to video tape that as I sure as shit didn't see the camera.. but hey moving on.

The movie has two story lines, the twins and then Jonah the cop who lost his wife in a horrid fire and is still having nightmares and is very traumatised over it. His body is also covered in burns and from the moment you see him you know he's a burns victim, it's tastefully done and obvious enough to have you wondering about his paste from the moment we meet him.

He follows the twins around trying to get to the bottom of everything and see's them lure a pedo to his doom and he now knows something is going on, he goes to talk to the boys parents who are the most freaky and strange people you will ever see.

I don't know about you but I found them way odder then the killer hand holding twins...

He gets very little help out of them but he see's a picture with the mother and the new born twins and then goes home and does the old 'let goggle do my work for me' and find out about a centre for twins and the study of the bond they have together as now our detective is pretty sure the twins are doing something with their minds to the people who end up dead..

He goes to the centre and watches a few videos which include very very blond twins getting a man to headbut himself to death and causing other twins to freak out.

Yep they have a gift alright..

By now the cop is onto them and the two boys are having issues of their own.

The one with the girlfriend doesn't want anything to do with the 'project' any more and wishes to leave but his brother doesn't take it very well and puts something in his brothers diabetes needle that knocks him out. The next day his girlfriend says he should have staid the night which confuses him.. but then realises his brother shagged his girlfriend before he could!

So in the school field he beats the crap out of the still evil shit brother. I'm still disappointed no one cried out 'STOP HITTING YOURSELF' but hey this is why I do reviews and not movies right?

It all goes to shit from here...

The good twin goes nuts and cuts his finger off giving it to his girlfriend and then cuts his hair and cries alot, I bet he listen to My Chemical Romance while doing all of this in the mirror. He goes to his parents who are very shit at helping..

When the cop bursts in it's revealed that everything from when the two boys were young has been fake, how the one single twin can't hold onto the illusions on his own that the two have been pulling their own strings the whole time.

Their mother and father are grossly disfigured thanks to the twins as little boys getting them to knife each other in the face over the discovery that their kids are fucking evil and made the baby sitter eat a yummy high in fibre glass and milk cereal mix and they over heard them wanting to keep the boys separate.. the house the live in is decayed and beyond repair, all the nice stuff was in their heads.

And the brothers had been doing it for so long that they had forgotten their own twisted webs.

Soon the bad twin comes in and knocks the cop out and carries on fighting with his brother whose girlfriend bursts in and fires a gun badly and all over the place, a fire is started but I for the life of me can't remember how.. but I think it's legit.. anyway so the girl is now knocked out and the boys fall through the ceiling and land on the table together.

Jonah the most awesome character ever wakes up and see's there is a fire, hears the girls screaming and runs to her aid while dealing with flash backs and horrid memories of when he tries so hard to save his wife from the flames of his own tragic past.

He gets her out and the firemen are already there, bloody fast in America! and he passes out while the twins lay together holding hands and talking about that perfect feeling or moment that they were trying to get by doing their project as the house burns down around them...

This movie is actually pretty fucking awesome. I bought it when I watched THE TASK and saw the trailer for it. My partner hates horror movies because they say all horrors are cheap scares bad gore and just awful but they really enjoyed this one.

The characters are good, engaging, the plot is both easy to follow but also deep and intense and it's not 'OMG MIND POWERS!' but it's done really well like 'oh shit that could happen' feeling almost. The twins and the cop are amazing actors, in fact I couldn't fault anyone's acting and I doubt this movie was the most high budget as it is just an After Dark original right to DVD affair.

The gore is done well, the effects are good. It's a very immersing movie.

Plot: 4.5/5

Acting: 5/5

Gore: 4/5

Scares: 1/5

Overall enjoyment: 5/5

The Women In Black - Theatre Show

I've had these tickets booked since the 6th of July 2012 and suddenly out of nowhere it was the next day! Last night me and my friends went to see the theatre show, I have now seen all three versions.. the movie, the novel and where it all started.. the play.

The show is about an hour and 45 minutes long with a 15 minute break so your there about 2 hours which isn't bad. We got pretty good seats, middle of the row 5th from the back and if you think seats aren't that important... wrong. If you want to get some of the full awe from some of the effects.. you need to be closer to the front.

So the show starts off with an older man and started to read but in a very dull manner and it makes you think 'Is it meant to be like this?' and then he gets heckled fro the back by the second actor who comes on stage.

The older man is Arther Kipps and he is haunted by the women in black and thinks that telling his story of what has happened to him will ease the night horrors he still gets from the horrid things that happened.

But he needs help from a stage performer to do it right.

The first half hour is mostly comical banter between the two actors and breaking the story to talk to one another, after about 50 minutes it really gets into. 

The show is between a cast of three and only two spoke. The man who is Arther Kipps doesn't play Arther Kipp the younger actor does. They both throw themselves into their roles like crazy and you get really into it.

The sound effects and the lighting that gives off the look of so many levels and different settings it's amazing. The pacing is a tad slow at first but then gets going. I can't stress enough how good these actors were and how all the lighting and everything just made it a great show.

There are even moments where the whole place gets so much colder really building the tension and the atmosphere, there were allot of times that it was so tense and built up I was gripping my arm rest and felt my friends either side of me flinch and jump as a piece would drag out and draw you in and then SNAP!

Also there are times they have smoke to make it look like the fog on the marsh, the way it swirls around you and you end up feeling like you can't see anything just like the man being Mr Kipps, your heart races and you can't help but feel dread.

They really make it come alive and I've not been so scared in such a long time.

If you ever get a chance to see this.... do it, go buy tickets now! Our tickets cost £23.50 each and we got good seats. Worth it.

Acting: 5/5

Plot: 5/5

Pacing: 4/5

Effects: 5/5

Scares: 5/5

Overall: 5/5 all the way!

The Walking Dead - Glenn

I try and keep nerd rage to a minimum as I try and review fairly and all that but I JUST got around to reading The Walking Dead tradeback 17 aka issue 100# and if you have not read those issues and do not wish for one hell of a spoiler.. leave now.

Glenn has been around since issue two or the very start if you are a trade back reader like myself. We have seen him go from the fast brave but also skitty boy from the start to a very brave, loyal husband and friend. We have watched him change and deal with so much.

He got with Maggie, helped to raise Sophia after things hit the fan. He's just been one hell of an awesome character.

So why did he have to die the way he did? I must admit I thought he was safe from being killed off, I mean they have done bold deaths in the past like alot of um kid killing.. and losing Lori who was with child was a very big HOLY SHIT THEY DIDN'T JUST DO THAT?! but honestly.. with all these minor people no one really cares about I thought the big cast would have been safe since from the original lot it was Glenn, Rick, Sophia, Carl and Andrea left from those Atlanta lot.

I think everyone we liked or got close to had a decently tragic or interesting death. But not Glenn, he gets beaten to death by some massive angry asshole and then he dies, his wife flips out and then it all but seems..over.

I personally think if they were going to kill Glenn it should have made me want to cry like a child but as sad as it was and I did give a good gasp it wasn't what he deserved. Call me a sad nerd if you must but Walking Dead is one fandom I have been with from the start and I'm highly emotionally involved with it.

And now he's dead Maggie who I also liked alot will more then likely never be seen again... will wait and see what the next tradeback holds.
