I recorded the first episode, started watching the first few minutes and let me tell you, it looked more like a movie than a TV series to me, really really good, shame DirecTV doesn't carry AMC HD, so I have to watch it on SD which sucks.

Rick clearly hadn't seen enough zombie movies.

He broke probably all the rules on how to survive a zombie apocalypse not to mention hes a bit of a retard.

First he gets shot because the idiot turns his back to the criminals they just shot without checking if the scene is clear. (someone didn't pay attention in cop school) :pinch:

Then he wakes up in the hospital and thinks about searching for matches but then he burns hims self 5 times because he wants to use them to make light, eh its a hospital theres bound to be a couple of flash light laying a round. Or better yet make a torch! :rolleyes: then he comes outside and theres a whole bunch of vehicles just sitting there unattended but he thinks hey lets walk a couple of miles with my bullet wound. :blink:

Then he gets smacked in the face with a shovel by an 9 year old. :o

Then he finally does the smart thing and goes to the office to get some supplies.

Finds a house and the first thing he does is ditching all his stuff on the porch, its not like there could be anyone there ready to eat him :pinch:

Finds a horse which basically means unlimited transportation given you take good care of it. Hey he uses his brains!! :D

Then he decides to go to the big city surely there won't be any zombies there its not like a couple of millions folks used to live there.

Rides his horse right into a couple of thousand zombies to get mauled :cry:

Then he tries to hide under the tank :pinch: Surely those zombies can get under there if he can :rolleyes:

Manages to get in the tank, shoots a gun in there (ok i would have done the same thing but still...)

Then gets owned by a 16 year old on the radio. :laugh:

LOL you are so right....but i still like the EP :)

I think this show has great potential, and i can't wait for the next episode.

I just think everybody needs to take a mandatory "How to survive a zombie apocalypse course" that way people don't get mauled after 5 seconds :laugh:

amazing! its like my dream has come true for a zombie tv show and the budget looks big!

AMC's The Walking Dead premiere ratings are enormous: The 90-minute Halloween night premiere delivered 5.3 million viewers.

That's the largest audience for any cable series premiere on any network this year.

It's also the highest premiere numbers for any series in AMC's history.

I watched the premiere last night, and I have to say it was awesome. AMC definitely didn't hold back with the imagery or violence. The acting was great, and the atmosphere is perfect. I love how they're using "old school" zombies too. They're not the crazy marathon sprinters from the 28 days later movies, but they're not so slow and shambling that they're not a threat. They're kind of in between, and I love it.

The only thing that sucks is that I was skimming through this thread and saw some images that kind of gave away some twists from future episodes. That sucked. Please don't post images that would be considered spoilers by most. Videos are fine since you have to click on them to see anything, but the images appear automatically.

Usually I am not a die-hard fan of zombie movies, although I do find some of them pretty good -- 28 Days (& Weeks) Later, Zombieland, Dawn Of The Dead, among others. "The Walking Dead" premiere was awesome. At times was very emotional, I wasn't expecting that.

Just watched it just a few minutes ago. Was pretty good, kinda made me feel that I was watching an adaption of Left 4 Dead which to me is a good thing. The show felt nicely paced and wasn't rushed. Looking forward for the next episode. One thing I noticed was that at the end

it didn't look like any of the zombies were eating up the horsey, just chewing the air. Maybe something they might want to look at.

Edit: Off to play some Left4Dead 2 and feel like an immortal lucky son of a bitch.

woot.

It's official: "The Walking Dead" is a hit.

Judging by the buzz today, last night's premiere of "The Walking Dead" on AMC went over well with just about everyone who tuned in for the live-action adaptation of Robert Kirkman's award-winning comic book series. And now the numbers seem to support that success, too.

My brother said it was good so I had to check it out. It was pretty good. I expected the production quality to be high and boy, was it high. It reminded me of 28 Days Later and Right at Your Door.

      O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 by Razvan Serea O&O ShutUp10 offers a simple yet effective way to take control of your Windows privacy. It provides access to almost 50 privacy-related tweaks, most of them hidden or not easily accessible to the average computer users. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10/11 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated. Using ShutUp10 you can easily disable Windows Defender, turn off telemetry, disable peer-to-peer updates, turn off Wi-Fi Sense, disable automatic Windows updates, turn off and reset Cortana and more. ShutUp10 allows you to create a System Restore point before you apply any changes, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems. O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days! O&O ShutUp10 Free and Premium The latest version brings O&O ShutUp10 Premium, expanding the app’s long-standing privacy controls with automatic enforcement of user-defined settings. Instead of manually rechecking options after every Windows update, users can set their preferred privacy configuration once—or apply recommended settings in a single click—and the tool continuously monitors them in the background. If Windows 10 or 11 re-enables disabled features or introduces new data collection paths, Premium restores the chosen settings automatically without user intervention. The free version remains available and fully functional for manual adjustments, offering the same core privacy controls for Windows. However, the Premium tier is aimed at users who want long-term, hands-off protection, adding automatic reapplication after updates, ongoing monitoring, and optional notifications to ensure privacy settings remain consistent over time. O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 changelog: Added “Show Differences” button in the overview panel “Don’t show again” option for the restore point prompt Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut for search/filter functionality Detection and linking of system-wide and user-specific setting associations Automatic search while typing PREM: Option to preserve notification counters and timestamps across application restarts PREM: Reset blocked settings button in the Settings dialog PREM: Informational message when no settings are blocked PREM: Update check can also be triggered from the menu PREM: Notification deduplication and activity log summary feature Improved L005 “Disable Windows Location Service”: Version-specific split (up to Windows 11 23H2) and new variant for Windows 11 24H2+ L001 (Disable Location): Added Night Light warning to the description in all languages Search now detects setting IDs even when ID display is disabled and offers to enable it Detection and removal of Copilot/AI desktop apps in RecallTerminator Optimized High DPI support PREM: Reset button is now only enabled when blocked items exist – setting IDs are shown in the confirmation dialog PREM: Updated tray icons with higher-resolution versions PREM: Activity Log timestamps now use localized date and time formats PREM: Tray icon status now uses OK/Warning indicators and localized tooltips PREM: Recall folder detection switched to service-based detection PREM: Copilot uninstallation now provides UI feedback and improved verification Fixed Description text was not displayed correctly for the last item and disappeared when clicking the scrollbar Crash when clicking a search result heading or the […] button PREM: Installation path is now correctly preserved during upgrades PREM: Tray icon was not reliably removed when exiting the application PREM: Main window was not displayed correctly in single-instance mode PREM: Incorrect display of the & symbol in tray icon tooltips on Windows 10 PREM: Fixed notification flooding after sleep/standby PREM: Dashboard was not refreshed after applying recommended settings during onboarding PREM: Progress bar was not reset after deleting Recall folders PREM: Fixed service startup failures PREM: Fixed incorrect drift detection when Automatic Protection was disabled PREM: Notifications now correctly count all deviating settings when protection is enabled PREM: Registration Wizard was shown after sleep/standby despite a valid license Download: O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 | 76.4 MB (Freeware) Download: O&O ShutUp10 32-bit | ARM64 View: O&O ShutUp10 Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
