I actually think that football score placard is also a Zombies Ate My Neighbours reference; cause the level where you fight the martians in that game is on a football field.

S&B may not be to blame for Recent illness.

Representatives from the CDC and WHO cannot confirm that the new outbreaks of Z-Flu in the US are linked to the rumors that Swine & Bovine obtains some their meat from the African food distributor Zimbabwe Outlet Meat Butchery Import Export. Dr. Logan of the World Health Organization has said "It is way too early in our investigation to say that Swine & Bovine is absolutely culpable for the outbreak of Zebra Flu". In an official press release, Harry Cooper, President and CEO of S&B parent company Blunderbuss, stated "Swine and Bovine is an enormously successful brand that serves millions of people each day and that requires them to acquire quality ingredients from all over the world but I've never been directly aware of S&B doing business with Zimbabwe Outlet Meat Butchery Import Export. I'd also like to remind people that rumors are not factual, rumors are rumors, and should be dismissed as such." To boost customer confidence S&B will be offering a 2 for 1 deal on the NEW S&B Sassy! for a limited time.

Also I was nice and pulled a couple pages from the ebook preview I mentioned in the episode. The joke is that it's written poorly. I don't know why I thought that was worth making fun of honestly, maybe he doesn't speak English really well? Now I feel like a jerk! When it comes down to it, the author has published more books than I have. Perhaps it's my misguided defensive reaction? I'm sorry, John Morales.

There was once a place (it's... not important) where I was in a sort-of moderator capacity by default, and a bunch of people were making fun of a poster who - to be fair - had pretty atrocious spelling/grammar. I said something like "c'mon guys, English is obviously not his first language", to which the person in question replied that "no, English is the only language I know; I was just... bad at school and stuff".

Wow did I feel like a jerk. :eng99:

Of course we liked your thing! I'm not sure what you're seeing at 08:30 - the Plum Island Produce truck? That's a reference to one of the recent, bad "of the Dead" movies.

Actually those five expelled members have a pretty good chance of surviving, if I'm not mistaken. I BELIEVE that when you have one expelled member on the map and then expel more, they go join that person. I'll have to check the game tonight, but Israel might have 4 new roomies. (Or 2 and then another new enclave with 2 people? idk)

We're just getting practice for Breakdown, where you gotta run lean. No average people in our camp- specials only!

Yeah, that's also the island mentioned in SotL where Lecter is offered to go instead of being cooped up in prison. I was thinking eating people = link to zombies... but 'of the Dead' movie makes much more sense.

While working on State of Decay, Undead Labs hired contractors to help build some of the backgrounds. For reasons unknown, those contractors scattered a collage of genitalia across the backgrounds. However, the original version of the game was a low enough resolution that the naughty bits flew under the testing radar.

I was gonna get mad at Skippy for dissing my man David Cronenberg, but then he called out eXistenZ specifically and I was like "yeah ...".

He did The Fly, though. And also Eastern Promises and also A History of Violence, The Brood, A Dangerous Method, and Spider. So he gets a certain amount of leeway from me. eXistenZ, though ...

Maybe I won't talk about Videodrome and Scanners, either.

A history of violence wasn't really all that great, though. I only remember it because the bad guy at the end reminded me of a friend of the family so much (that is, in manner and speech, not in being a mob boss).

I like that on the internet we feel the need to specify when someone is not a mob boss. I think for safety reasons everyone should always assume mob boss until proven otherwise.

But yeah, I mostly included that one because it isn't a body horror film, which Skips Granolerson had a problem with. I feel like it could have been improved with a gun made out of gristle, though.
