any of you read the graphic novels/comics? it is great!
it's not just senseless killing zombies all the time. it focuses heavy emphasis on character development, dialogue, and the effects of the zombie holocaust on the survivors.
if you haven't heard it, you guys should really give it a chance. read it at library for free first if you want, haha.

8bitzombie owns a few issues of the walking dead. That seems very suiting for some reason.

I've made it to issue 40 of this beast.
I like it.
For some odd reason, though, reading this put my fear of the undead on the back burner (I have a highly irrational fear of zeds, and it was starting to get bad as of recently. Thus, this putting my mind at ease, for some reason, is a good thing).

EDIT: To be fair, I'm pretty sure it was just my paranoia acting up.
Having a strange fear of zombies doesn't help things, though.

the idea of the modern zombie comes from lepers
knowing this makes me feel good deep inside and removes all (if any) fears of zombies, but I'll tell you one thing I do fear. LEPERS! damn infectious moaning in pain body part falling off monsters!!
and as far as a virus making super strong humans that are crazy and killing and eating people.

we don't need a virus for that(just head trauma) . we humans have muscle limiters. our minds limit our muscles. and we all have a natural blood lust(yes even those wimpy people. (believe it or not being wimpy is a learned behavior those people still have bloodlust in them). I believe with the correct amount of brain damage, we'd all be able to become super strong flesh eating aggressive monsters. that's what we are. we are humans. and I believe before the technology. our fear of zombies. is just a genetic memory of what we used to be, before we acquired technologies.

4 years ago saw a baboon on the discovery channel. I watch it go insane and beat it's entire family and kill it. and then eat them all and have sex with their dead bodies while he's eating them. and I see that's how we probably were when we had no technology and got pushed over the edge.

I honestly believe all living creature have something called a genetic memory. and I believe our fear of zombies, comes not from the fear of undead, but from what we call soulless. I believe once, there was a breaking point in human DNA. where we acquired "souls" souls really just being an understanding of life. while other humans still acted like the baboons. probably waging the first wars, I imagine the soul humans going around slaughtering the soulless. making me understand that right now how we are as humans. we're probably still soulless. we don't have souls. we just have a slight understanding of life. I believe if we had a real understanding of life. nobody would kill anybody for any other reason than survival.

I believe that killing people for "reasons" and "just causes", that's just our soulless zombie side still existing inside of us. so deep down. we're all zombies, and our fear of zombies. is just us recognizing our own fear of our own species. we don't fear walking dead people. we fear soulless humans. and I believe we're all still very soulless. but those are just my beliefs.

then again.... I have mental disorders, so anyone can just pass off anything I say as BS :P

that's a lot of issues to be reading, I usually can't stand serials. I like them when they stop at issue 4 o 16... well, it looks like I got a lot of reading ahead of me :? I'm sure I'll catch up to you all someday.

No, I've tried to rationalize in similar mannerisms.
The problem is that my imagination takes over my rationality.
And it's an odd thing that sets off the fear. I can play Resident Evil with no problem, but a video like this will set off my fear like crazy (yes, I know, it's odd). Really, I think it's just my paranoia getting the better of me.

One thing I will say, though, is that I'm not afraid of being soulless.
My fear of the undead comes from the undead themselves.
I don't want to be eaten. D:

Then again, taking this realistically, it's highly unlikely the undead would eat, per say, but...
Well, that's a discussion for another time.

All you need to know is that I have a fear of zeds that comes and goes.
For a while, the fear was completely gone, but the video I posted above completely set me off into my paranoia and the fear came back. Walking Dead calmed it. All is good.
