The Walking Dead: No Man's Land

Its twenty years in the future and the zombie apocalypse is over. Humanity is in shambles and is trying to get back together. There are only a few hundred survivors left, with more smaller groups scattered around the world. What are the survivors to do but recreate society from the ground up, with no laws and previous political background to guide them? All they're left with is the memory of their high school and college educations about the period of Enlightenment in Europe, and the philosophes of the time, with their views on government and how it should be run. The people need rules, guidelines, decision makers, and a government to help get things done. What better than Locke’s ideas on freedom, natural rights, and a government responsible

Death has been our ultimate fear since the beginning of creation as we speculate our own demise from this world. From the moment of conception, we slowly begin the death process hypnotizing on whether it would be a painful or quick departure. Nevertheless, when the dead return, they become our living nightmare. The walking dead is the pinnacle of frightened imagines engraved in our culture having an uncontrollable appetite for human flesh. They are the perfect fighting machine that will be on top of the food chain once the pandemic arrives. Ancient cultures have foretold of evil tormented souls escaping a life sentence from the grave. Primitive cultures believe that if we don’t honor the dead, they will return seeking revenge. Cannibalism is

The game I have chosen for my critical analysis is Red Dead Redemption. Red Dead Redemption was made, published, and engineered by a company called Rockstar Games (Rockstar Website). The major distributor of the game is a company who happens to own Rockstar, Take-Two interactive. Being one of the most successful video game developers to date, Rockstar is famous for creating the popular and controversial game series Grand Theft Auto. Rockstar differs very much from other video game developers because they are one of few who have grown and experienced the advancement of video games in

Video games are an ever-growing franchise that is constantly undergoing change. Ever since the dawn of video games, new consoles, games, developers, and teams have come together, fallen apart, triumphed, and failed. What is it that has allowed some to thrive where others failed? Several different factors have changed and influenced the world of gaming, including the history that is continuously being written, the people who have built the games behind the scenes, and, of course, the actual video games themselves. Numerous video games have been more successful than others, but identifying what components set the successful apart from the unsuccessful is something definitely worth observing.

“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.” (Abraham Maslow) This quote by Abraham Maslow relates to the analysis you are about to read because Shane often chooses to go back to “safety” which in his mind is staying at the already established camp in the graphic novel “The Walking Dead” by Robert Kirkman. I will be using Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to analyze this text. It directly connects to this situation because in conventional society the basic most needs are normally met, but in this post-apocalyptic situation that is not always true. Along with that and other group interactions causing the fall of higher levels of the hierarchy it causes many problems in the camp. Through the use of Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs I will show how Shane’s inability to relinquish his role as leader and to show how the loss of certain steps in the hierarchy by anyone can lead to death and despair for those in the camp.

Focusing on the how of violence, is an article in which the author talks about what makes the violence in one game more meaningful than the other. He brings up two different most talked-about action games, BioShock Infinite and the Last of us and compares them both. Bioshock infinite tells stories of a man and young woman fighting through dangerous territory, killing dozens of nameless bad guys, while The Last of Us, tells a story about post-apocalyptic zombie survival game, which was more grisly and direct compare to Bioshock. He wonders why the violence of Bioshock Infinite made him feel gratuitous and not transformative or powerful. He felt that Bioshock infinite was more of an anonymous shooting that made it difficult for him to about anything

Does The Walking Dead have any Sociological elements? Every movie and television show always have some sort of sociological elements within them that make them stand out from the rest ,specifically The Walking Dead. There are a lot of terms that can be used but I will only choose these four: Master Status, on what makes these characters so important; Impression management ,how these characters keep their appearance to seem a certain way; Role Conflict, how their older and newer roles collide; and Teamwork,as to how they contribute to the team; Using these terms we will be able to really dig into the Sociological side of this chilling yet exhilarating series.

One of the biggest topics that has dominated public conversation in recent years is the amount of violence that has been shown to viewers of film and tv alike. One show that is extremely gory and shows lots of violence is AMC’s The Walking Dead. Some of the deaths shown in this show are so over the top that it makes me wonder why it was necessary. People have become so desensitized to this kind of thing, that it is appalling over what kinds of things people do get upset over. As I have already mentioned, there are very gruesome deaths shown in every season of The Walking Dead. And yet, people have not complained about the violence being shown in this show. At one point, a man was threatening to kill an infant and still, the people were fine

Late Shift's gameplay is very simple: You're presented with choices, and you only have seconds to make them. It's not unlike the mechanic used by Telltale Games in The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us. Instead of stylized animation, Late Shift gives us live-action video featuring a host of competent actors who elevate material that doesn't always as strong as it could be. That said, the story is still powerful enough that you'll flinch when your decisions take the story in directions you may not have anticipated. In fact, based on the choices you make during the roughly 90 minutes it takes to work your way through the story, you'll encounter seven different endings.

The topic of the undead coming back to life to feast on the living has been around since the first zombie movie White Zombies in 1932; however, just in the past few decades has the threat of a zombie apocalypse enter the realm of international politics. The threat of a zombie apocalypse is a very serious concern of the international communities. Many political scientists are not sure how the world leaders would be able to work together if this issue were ever to arise in the world today. In the book “Theories of International Politics and Zombies”, Drezner uses the threat of a zombie apocalypse to show how the different theories of international politics would eliminate the threat; however, are the living dead a real international concern or are they just a brilliant metaphor for something much greater that could happen to the world.

Last night's "The Walking Dead" was a treat for horror fans, as Universal Pictures revealed the first trailer for Tom Cruise horror flick, "The Mummy." The Alex Kurtzman-directed film is set to be released in June next year, and will reboot the "The Mummy" franchise that formerly starred Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz.

The walking dead video game is an exemplary example of how introducing choice into a story can affect the experience that we get from the story. Giving the player the ability to make choices that decide the fates of characters in their party and making the player a parental figure ads depth to the story that you don’t get from the television show of the same name. The act of adding choice to this story gives the player a sense of responsibility for the characters you can't

For this Media Product Analysis paper, I will be reviewing “The Walking Dead: The Game” from Telltale Games. “The Walking Dead: Season One” has a total of five episodes which were released digitally one episode at a time every two months from April 2012 to November 2012. Each game takes approximately two hours of gameplay.

There are many choices that we tend to avoid. Many worry about the effect it might bring to their lives. However, in a video game, result does not jeopardize the player’s safety. What is surprising is that Telltale game’s unique twist on “The Walking Dead” captures the moral values in the player. The player is drawn to a character known as Clementine; a significant companion throughout the game. They seem to take moral judgment and moral sensitivity to as written in the article “Four Lenses for Designing Morally Engaging Games”.
