I LOVED Sleeping Dogs. Fucking amazing game.
It felt like playing Donnie Yen and Collin Chou’s “Flashpoint” but with more violence,
crazy car chases, parkour running, slow mo and awesome undercover shit.
The DLCs are amazing as well.
They did one that resembled Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon a lot.
So. Fucking. Badass.
Whenever I finished playing I had to hit the gym and practice my old Kung Fu forms!
American Horror Story.
I honestly give this more credit as “horror” than Walking Dead.

I’ve heard good things. In my opinion, Walking Dead is pretty much bastardized from the original story in the comics. I had been reading them before the show came out and was pumped as hell when it did. Then, I realized they were going to change the hell out of it, so I stopped watching. I’m all for experimentation, but for anyone really into the show, check out the graphic novels. They strayed so far from the original story. It’s Robert Kirkman’s show though.

They should stray though shouldn’t they? Had they stayed entirely faithful to the comic, anyone who keeps up with the comic would have no twists and turns to look forward to. They’d know when and where everyone dies, the biggest event of each season, exactly what is going to happen next season etc.
The only people who would really be able to go in fresh and surprised would be the people who hadn’t read the comics at all, but if the foundations remain the same with the story taking a different turn every now and then, we can all appreciate seeing what’s about to happen for the first time and it never lets itself become stale by repeating events too consistently.

What “Prufrock” wrote isn’t why I dislike Walking Dead. It is because of the sappy “emotional” crap they overfilled it with.
Look, if anything like this did go down, the people who do survive likely won’t be the soap opera crew they threw together who actually spends several episodes crying instead of fighting to live.
Doing a show like this, they needed like 5 ex-army/military soldiers, the two cops, 2 strippers with bad attitudes and gun experience, two black guys who started on their college basketball team, and two nerdy Japanese kids to figure out all electronics and give all exposition.
That shit would be a fucking hit…and you all know it.
Doogie and I went last week and saw this, fucking awesome.
They are doing Night of the living dead in Oct.

November 15th, PS4 launch date!
I hate you DC with the passion of a thousand suns. the reign of the supermen was one of the better 90’s storylines and now dc just took a steaming poop on it. they took an obscure character Hank Henshaw and made him into a huge DC baddy for years and now the cyborg superman is going to be supergirl’s dad. if superman is supposed to be the last son of krypton how come there are so many damn kryptonians running around now?

EDIT:
I screwed that quote up.
I was saying that the Walking Dead did have two characters that are kind of close to what you wrote and they are the most popular.
Daryl Dixen: Was already a gun owning, redneck, survivalist, with violent tendancies pre-Zed.
Michonne (future POTUS): Lawyer, but with hobbies (martial arts, fencing) and enough issues to allow her to adapt very, very quick.
S.M. Sterling’s Emberverse series also dealt a lot with who would and wouldn’t survive a total SHTF scenario. He seemed to place a premium on intelligence, adaptability, and in his specific case someone with enough leisure time to develop varied skills that were not of day to day use.
