Default Hobbies

Other than MMOs what major hobbies do you have or wish you still did?

I read, a lot. Sword of Truth series, Wheel of Time, R.A. Salvatore(light reading), etc.

I also run and bike. Those are the only other two main hobbies other than the massive amount of reading I do.

I wish there were adult football leagues in my area. I used to play football in high school and wish I could now. I played Halfback, OLB, and special teams. (kick return, being the fastest on the team)

I want to see if you can relate.

What do you think of zombies that can run?

not a huge fan, they are OK I suppose in very limited quantities . if 1 out of every 10 zombie movies has runners I can handle that, variety is the spice of life after all.

the current state of things is pretty sad with the vast majority of movies coming out having runners - most of which don't even count as true zombies, and don't even get me started on 28 days / weeks later and its "non zombies".

but yea, I vastly prefer Shamblers to runners

also - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z85jKnmGsOg makes me incredibly excited , it looks so bad ass , it has 2 of my favorite things , shamblers, and practical FX.

That looks awesome.

My personal opinion on runners:

They should only be able to run when "fresh", and not for very long.

This comic series is amazing. I stopped reading/collecting comics years ago but I still follow Walking Dead. Can't wait for the show!

Jesus is a shambling zombie, the Rolling Stones are the running type.

Most running zombies seem to occur due to some type of infection, drug, chemical or scientific discovery gone wrong (28 days / weeks later, I Am Legend, Resident Evil, etc.)

On the other hand, true zombie movies like Night of the Living Dead, White Zombie, etc. follow more traditional zombification methods (mysticism, voodoo, or just plain no explanation at all) and feature the shambling type...

There's a studio that's been trying to get a Nazi zombie movie produced for about a decade now that looks like it would be a really good watch, if they could get the funding... there are a couple of teaser videos available on the site. (the teasers are B movie status.. but damn.. heh)

Alternative links if you don't have QT - Trailer 1 | Trailer 2

Hobby-wise I do alot of reading.. Robert Jordan, Steven King, Terry Goodkind, Clive Barker... Play a lot of retro RPGs, Read a ton of Manga and watch a couple Anime series, design maps for W:ET, and Q2, design Gabber tracks, draw, write fantasy / sci-fi. Party, get stupid n' mandle hangovers.
