The Walking Dead Escape


Think you have what it takes to survive a zombie apocalypse?  Or would you rather try and catch human survivors after becoming a zombie?  Check out The Walking Dead Escape during the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con where you can either:
(1) choose to be a human survivor and run a gauntlet through a zombie infected Evac Zone set up at the San Diego Padres' Petco Park
(2) or be turned into a zombie and try and catch the survivors

It costs $75 to try and run the gauntlet and $15 to spectate (the tickets for being a Walker/Zombie are sold out).  This just sounds so abso-freaking-lutely awesome.  I wish I had heard of this a long time ago - I might have dropped the cash to fly out that way for this year's con. 

Be sure to check out the main site for more details including an interactive map of the run.  The following is taken directly from the FAQ page of the official site:

Course Information

  • The average time of completion is 35-45 minutes.
  • The Walking Dead Escape is not a race. No one is timed, and you are not required to run, but the slow usually die for a reason.
  • Be prepared to climb, crawl, and slide.
  • Depending on the encountered Walker, you may need to move briskly or lightly jog in an effort to avoid infection.
  • No one will be disqualified if they cannot complete an obstacle.
  • The course has been specifically designed for participants with a wide range of abilities. Each obstacle is created to include an “easier route” for participants with limited physical abilities.
  • On the day of the event, Survivors, Walkers and Spectators are expected to provide photo ID only. There are no hard tickets or confirmation printouts necessary. Spectator children under 16 who have purchased a ticket and do not have a photo ID will need to be accompanied by an adult.

Survivor Rules

  • The goal of the Survivor is to make it to the Evacuation Zone without any contact with Walkers. We ask that you do not “fight back” should you come in contact with a Walker. There is no point - you’re doomed anyways.
  • Survivors are expected to arrive 20 minutes prior to their wave time in order to register
  • Be aware, the Government believes infection can be spread by touch.
  • Government Scientists will be waiting at the Evacuation Zone and will perform a highly confidential scan to determine whether or not participants have been infected by the virus.
  • If you come in contact with a Walker during the course, you will still be able to complete the course in it’s entirety.
  • You must start with your registered Evacuation wave time in order to participate.
  • All participants are expected to be respectful, safe, and courteous on the course and to fellow participants. The course was designed to create a fun experience; common sense applies.
  • All entries are final with no refunds.
  • All decisions by officials are final and binding.
  • Costumes are allowed.
  • Absolutely no weapons allowed (real or otherwise).
  • No handheld devices (cameras, video cameras, water bottles, etc.) are allowed on the course. There will be a secure gear check for you to store your belongings prior to the start of your wave.
  • Go-pro cams are allowed.
  • Survivors must be 16 years of age on the date of the event to participate - no exceptions.
  • Any Survivor who does not comply with the aforementioned rules will be banned from participation. 

Walker Rules

  • The goal of the Walker is to haunt your assigned grounds as brutally and as brainlessly as possible.
  • Walkers must arrive 2 hours prior to their registered wave time for makeup and training. No exceptions.
  • Walkers will receive further instruction on what to wear, etc. via email correspondence from The Walking Dead Escape officials. This information is proprietary to Walkers prior to the event as to surprise and scare survivors as much as possible.
  • All Walkers will receive “Walker Training” prior to their shift.
  • You must start with your registered shift in order to participate.
  • All entries are final with no refunds.
  • All decisions by officials are final and binding.
  • Absolutely no weapons allowed (real or otherwise).
  • No handheld devices (cameras, video cameras, water bottles, etc.) are allowed on the course. There will be a secure gear check for you to store your belongings prior to the start of your wave.
  • Walkers must be 16 years of age on the date of the event to participate - no exceptions.
  • Walkers will be able to keep their makeup on after finishing their shift.
  • Any Walker who does not comply with the aforementioned rules will be banned from participation. 

 Spectator Rules

  • There is no age limit for spectators.
  • Children under the age of 16 who have purchased a ticket and do not have a form of photo ID are required to have an adult present at check in.
  • All spectator tickets are good for 2 hours viewing time. Spectators are free to come and go from the viewing party at any time during their allotted 2 hours.
  • All purchases are final with no refunds.
  • All decisions by officials are final and binding.
  • There will be food and drink available for purchase in the Spectator lounge.

What's Included?

  • All Survivors and Walkers will receive an Exclusive Special Edition of the 100th Issue of The Walking Dead.
  • All Spectators will receive an Exclusive Special Edition poster of the cover of the 100th Issue of The Walking Dead.

Gold Farming

The lengths that people go to in order to create bots to farm for them is insane.  Check out this example:


THOR



My favorite part has to be the Watermelon Mountain Jugband behind Thor just standing there politely, not moving, wondering what the fuck they did to go from playing at the Hacienda Hotel to being on stage with a hot water bottle blowing superhero.

Crazy, incredible car tricks on the streets of San Francisco. Not sure how this is an ad for DC Shoes but the video is damned cool.

EDIT: Holy shitballs! My first post is dated September 24, 2010. It took just over 1 year and 2 months to register my 10,000th hit. From that point until now, just 7 months later, there has been another 12,000 hits. I am floored. Thanks for checking out this site! Every one of you wins a Marvel No-Prize!
