Maybe I am wierd. Your format works for me. Sure one shot would be cool but this is just like a television show for me. I have it set to record, gobble it up, and wait for the next week. I have listened since somewhere mid season 1. This last summer I took everything done on a road trip and now have my mom and brother hooked. Somewhere on I80 in Nebraska I downloaded the long finale and watched as they were completely consumed by it. Now my brother listens weekly. And he asked about the format. And I explained it to him as well as the extra week between chapters. After I asked if that made him not want to listen. Smiling he said, "Hell No! Makes me want it even more." Yeah Format works if you can hook my short attenetion span brother like that. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
I said this on facebook, and I'll say it here too: We your fan base who are provided this high quality production for free have a laundry list of demands. Give us longer episodes, and please show us pictures of your bloody fingers as proof you are truly trying hard enough. etc etc etc I dunno. Maybe it makes me a bad fan, but I find that the time between episodes helpful to me to take it all in and process it. The longer break between seasons allowed me to go back and listen all the way through again from start to finish about 6 times....and while there are episodes that are shorter than others.....so what? its not like this has a time slot it has to fill on TV. Episodes are like Gandalf: They are not long, or short. They are exactly the length they need to be. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
You can watch a movie and the story is begun and finished in a couple of hours. You can read a novel--even a trilogy-- and you're done within a few days. But this story has occupied a good amount of my mental time since last summer, and others for much longer than that. There is something about having a fix on the installment plan that really keeps the story stirred up fresh inside of you, keeps you thinking about the characters and situation, and even causes some of us (like me) to go back and listen to the whole thing several more times to bring things up to speed. I can honestly say that I've never had that kind of sustained, committed relationship with any other story, in any format. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
Do you need someone to smack a few folks for being dumb? I'd do it! I really would. What you speak of in this post is logical and reasonable. I mean freaking heck YOU have to have a life outside of the podcast, as does cast and crew! grrrrr After almost a year I've gotten used to the way the story is run, in fact I love it like this. I think it builds suspense. It makes the new chapter all the more savory for the wait. My most favorite boss in nursing said to me once. "Sarah, common sense is uncommon." How right he was. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
Zombies at Fort Irwin. It wasn't a trap or a test. The majority of the fort was overrun, with the troopers taking shelter within as they try to wait it out and frantically call for help. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
i especially like the primarily military control at irwin. i was also thinking this. it could be that these military units are creating a rally point for more military. or it could be the opposite they could be hostile to the tower members(like the colony). 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
I think it's going to be interesting to see who the doctor is that scratch talked about. I see the two wounded as being a bridge to meeting said doctor and finding out more information. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
Oh by the by litmaster: there's nothing that says they don't have severe injuries. If it was indeed them in the 24 post credits it sounds like they're both in pretty awful shape. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0

They also never said Burt was found. We just assume it was because of the "old man" comment. Litmaster: Thank you for clearing up your gender! And that other comment was way too long and I didn't read it. I'm sure it was thought provoking and well written. I have noticed a considerable lack of views to this post. I feel as though some of you have abandoned me now that I did so poorly in Chapter 25...My redemption is coming!!!! I don't care what that Kc dude says! I shall be victorious! 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
Burt could have limited injuries if he managed to hold onto the rope. Instead off taking a straight fall he would have been thrown into one off the two buildings. Remember they never say where Burt was found. Angel definitely has to have taken some serious damage. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
BTW, the problem of the singular pronoun of indefinite gender is widespread, especially in a sentence like "Litmaster is an astute commentator in the We're Alive forums. (he/she) always has great insights, and we always look forward to (his/her) witty posts." Everybody has problems with how to deal with this gender issue: - use 'he' and your a sexist pig -use 'she' and your a Lefty sexist pig -use 'they' and you've broken the rule about a plural pronoun and singular antecedent - use 'he or she' and you come across as clunky and awkward - use 'one' and you sound like a pompous ass - use 's/he' and nobody knows how the fuck to pronounce that - use 'it' and you're just wrong, unless you're describing a toaster I had a funny English professor who once suggested a remedy to the she / he / it problem with the handy little universal pronoun: S/H/IT I was the only one in the room who laughed, which I guess tells you something about that professor's popularity and my sense of humor. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
Nice blog entry, nikvoodoo! (uh, Nik? Nick??) And yes, litmaster IS a 'he'.... certainly not 'she' or 'it'. Still can figure out--assuming they are still alive-- how Angel or Burt could have survived without massive bone breakage and/or internal bleeding. I want Burt to be alive, but if he can only continue on as an invalid, that's going to be a real killjoy... 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
