26a: The Walking Dead (w/ guest host Gary Butterfield)

This week, we talk about zombies.   Gary Butterfield of Watch Out For Fireballs joins us for an extra-long episode on the groundbreaking adventure game The Walking Dead by Telltale games. This is a game that we’ve been dying to talk about since we launched the show, and we couldn’t be happier to have Gary on to give his take. A brief programming note about this week’s episode: We had so much fun recording this episode that we ran very long, so we’re bringing you this episode in two parts. This part begins with about a half hour of general discussion of the game, followed by about an hour of discussing the game’s plot up to about the half way point. Next week we’ll be bringing you the conclusion of this episode, which clocks in at about forty additional minutes.
