Introduce Yourself!

I am a recent disciple of the We're Alive pilgrimage. Initially when I heard Creem_Filling say at school we HAD to listen to this zombie... ahem "creatures" podcast I was slightly skeptical. When I did finally come around to listening to the first podcast I was hooked... and only had 3 days to catch up until I had to leave for summer camp. 2 all nighters later I was completely caught up... and now sad that I have to wait for new episodes like the rest of you. :'( I have been friends with Creem_Filling for a few years now and he continues to come to me to get his fix for a good read. Listening is much more rewarding than reading because you have more focus on imagining characters and scenery.

Welcome, I've been trying to convince a lot of my friends to listen in, most end up changing conversation before I even tell them the site or the name of the Podcast.
I have a few friends that started, but I haven't heard back from them yet about listening in.

If you are going to make some posts about books I'll have to ask you about some fantasy books to suggest.

Hey! I'm going to guess by the name and story that you are... Matt? When I saw Mancheeliveson I was like, "OMG, another possible fan of the book series!" Welcome anyhow.

Ah a fellow bookworm! I shall attempt to locate said book thread. And as for fantasy books I suggest Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. Alternate history WWI book involving massive machines on one side of the war and spliced animals on the other. Story about a girl dressing as a boy to join the Royal Air Force to board the legendary flying whale of a ship, The Leviathan. Creem can vouch for me on said series.

The other series I suggest is the Chaos Walking Trilogy. Three books each about 500 pages each. Takes place on a planet where you can hear eachother's thoughts but also means you can't hide any of your own. Each book has more cliffhangers than Rosie O Donal has chins. The story follows Todd Hewitt and his journey to manhood. Also where my profile's namesake comes from. Creem will adamantly defend this series tooth and nail. The first book is called The Knife of Never Letting Go.

I hope that at least one of these will satisify your needs for the time being. Something tells me I shall be spending large amounts of time on the books thread though.

I'm a very slow reader and I'm easy to please, so no doubt I'll be satisfied.
I usually just have trouble getting into specific author's way of writing, Leviathan seems pretty sweet, but the Chaos Walking Trilogy's subject seems more enticing for me.
Since I'm a slow reader I haven't read too many books (Harry Potter 1-4, Halo books, World War Z, and Claymore [manga]), I can vouch for any of those though.
They're light/easy reads, The Halo books surprised me how good they were.

Hey ppl, second time posting (first one is on the "How did you find us" thread), but have been listening since January/February.
The name's Noel, from the southeast asia area.. just want to say, i really really love this show, and from the looks of it, i'm gonna love the community too.

Hello! I'm a huge fan of We're Alive and came over IGN, thank you Greg? love this show and you're character, what ever happened to Pete i hope he makes an appearance next season!

Hello all, I'm a big fan of We're Alive, came here from a friend. I'm just a nerd from Vancouver B.C. , I play alot of videogames :P I also play football, and rugby for local teams.

Welcome aboard! Good to have ya! We've got a video games section under 'Everything Else' if you want to talk gaming and games, so check it out if you're interested.

So, another Newbie, but I won't take much space in the "Tower to be" since the old one just went to hell tonight...
I'm Lucia, come from and live in Germany and am a student at University (Communication Sciences, Politics, Law - all that useless crap during a zombie apocalypse...). Besides I work for a public radio station, so I can at least warn people later on...
And I live in a small flat under the roof in a house close to Frankfurt, so I can at least shut the building off and in case of emergency flee onto the roof if "zombie-day" comes ;-)
I love We're Alive (as everyone else here, logically) and everything else wonderful minds can create with voices and sound in people's heads - especially if it's the narrative kind ;-)
Ok, and I've just decided: everything else about me remains a mystery! I hate obvious characters.

Welcome Lucia. :D

Welcome to the tower hopefully we'll unravel your mysteries and find out more about you =)

I'm new to the forums, but have been listening to We're Alive since a few weeks into the first season after my brother suggested i listen to it. I love this podcast, and have also been trying to get some of my friends to listen, so far no luck, just my brothers listen to it. Hoping to get more people to listen, especially people from MGL (Mount Gaming League) at my college since most are interested in zombies and video games too. I'm a nursing student, and have a pretty awesome zombie survival plan despite what my brothers say ;) lol.

I Love A Mystery. Another great dramatic radio serial from back in the day. Also, there is very little that is logical about this place. Still... welcome.

I am intrigued. How does your plan differ from theirs? Are we looking at a simple flight/escape vs fight/barricade scenario or are there major fundamental conflicts within each plan?

All of it is different, I have two older brothers. One wants to escape in a blimp and live there until the zombies die out. The biggest flaw: where is he supposed to find a blimp in Cincinnati while zombies are running around killing people?? if he does find one, he does not know how to fly it and him and his friend who came up with this plan are kinda sissys lol.
Oldest brother wants to hole up in a stadium. Biggest flaw: stadiums will have the chance of being super crowded at onset of apocalypse, so could be swarming with zombies with only a few ways out. Stadiums could be hard to defend, although it is a better plan than the blimp.
I plan on going to Alaska (or somewhere else similarly cold), my cousin has a helicopter and I'm flying up there with a few friends who will also survive. The zombies will freeze in Alaska, but we know about cold weather living.

My name is Joseph and I right now live on Fort Drum, but soon will move to Kansas. I am still in high school and only 2 years left. My father is in the Air Force and we have moved 5 times all over the country and even in Germany. But the place I call home is Junction City, a town off of Fort Riley, and is a nice town. I am a bit of video game geek and love playing jazz on my alto saxophone. I found this podcast sifting through zune's podcast list.

Hi, my name is Teresa, and I've been listening to the podcast for a couple of months now. New to the whole "forum" thingy--but I figured what the heck. This is the best podcast I have ever listened to, and I am constantly amazed by the talent of the actors and writers. So, yeah, I guess that's it. :)

hey everyone, my name is langston and im from Baton Rouge, LA. First learned of WA from Greg Miller on the ign gamescoop podcast(good stuff by the way). Was hooked from the first episode and i am a huge fan of KC's gifted narrative skills and has since inspired me to develop my own podcast series which is in development. My favorite characters on the show are Saul and Bert.... i like Bert mainly because of the heavy clint eastwood influences, and Saul is hilarious, to me he is one of the more profound characters because even in his short comings, Saul follows his heart and is probably the most noble of the main characters...even over michael and angel....(a few more things about me) Im currently a film student at Baton Rouge Community College, which has been a really great experiance for me, ive been able to seize alot of career oppurtunities, worked on my first major film gig last fall for the upcoming "Battleship" film starring Liam Neeson and Tyler Kitsch..im really excited about it because thanks to director Peter Berg, i was given the opportunity to actually shoot an entire scene for the movie which made the final cut..so look out for that one in 2012, its a bar sequence but i cant say too much else about it for now :),..moving on, im very eccentric and huge fan of retro pop culture, love writing, poetry, movie scripts songs, a heavy music head,...listen to everything....EXCEPT COUNTRY.....i despise country..so thats a some stuff about me, and i am honored to be amongst you all in the common interest of one of the greatest modern dayaudio recorded series..thank you KC wayland...thank you forum members..im glad to be apart of this huge and crazy fanbase

Glad to have you aboard!

Hello everyone!
My name is Sarah and I'm a 19 year old college student studying visual effects and game design in Missouri.
I love survival and apocalypse stories, especailly when they feature zombies. So naturally when I found We're Alive I was thrilled!
I found this show by just browsing through itunes for any kind of zombie podcast, and I was very lucky that this was the first one that popped up.
I hope that we can have lots of discussion and follow the story together as it unfolds!

Great to have you on the forums, Sarah! I hope we get a chance to see some of your visual effects work in the future!

Sure thing! If I ever get a chance to do a zombie related project I'll be sure to let you all know. :)

The name is Jim, but my handle here is dontkillburt. And I mean that. Burt is my favorite character and I’d really hate to see him get offed from the show. He will survive (right KC?).

At sixty, I imagine I am one of the elder listeners here. But that’s okay, I’m still young at heart and I REALLY enjoy the We’re Alive broadcast.

Can’t say I’m much of a zombie buff. Never believed them to be much of a threat to my existence. As a kid growing up, it was only cold war, nuclear bombed resurrected dinosaurs that stomped on major Japanese cities (that we also bombed) or outer space blobs rolling down the theater aisles you had to contend with. And only if you heard a theremin playing somewhere, did you know someone was about to be threatened, abducted or eaten. Okay, the Night of the Living Dead was somewhat apocalyptic, but by 1968 I was about graduating from high school and knew zombies didn’t really pose a problem. Especially since Burt’s Vietnam war was then in high gear, giving America’s youth something even more frightening to deal with than zombies.

Anyway, I live in El Segundo, CA, which, according to the official We’re Alive “map”, is just a stone’s throw south of the maller’s mall and the pumping station, and immediately adjacent to LAX south runways. To my south, according to the map, lies Eastern Bay, which I’m still looking for. I think we locals refer to it as “Redondo Beach”.

Anyway, big fan of the broadcast and am looking forward to season three. We all are (zombies included).

Welcome to the forums, Jim. Since so many of us here are zombie buffs, it's really great to see the show's appeal growing beyond the expected groups. I'm certain you'll find plenty of people here who support your wish to see Burt survive the series!

My name is Humpty, pronounced with a Umpty. Yo zombies, I know how you want to munch me.:cool: I found out We're Alive on my Windows Phone from a app called Podcast! v2.0. I have listened to thousand of podcasts and We're Alive is one the podcast that stands the time test of time. It is has characters you actually care about. Good storyline and great sound and they sound like they know a decent amount about the military. I am glad it is a podcast and not a movie because they were able to focus more building likeable characters and not focusing on gore and comedy. It also adds a twist to what the zombies are. I wish I was part of the cast.

This causes me to stay inside a lot and thats where I discovered video games and We're alive. I was a pathological gamer for a few years and thats where I discovered horror, zombies, and realized how awesome it is. I'm great with technology and computers, and hope to go into some sort of game developing career.

What video games are you playing?

Hey ladies and gentlemen

With a bottle or rum

PirateBeew

My name is Alec and I live about hour south of LA and a little closer to Orange County where I believe they record the show. I am a high school student who also loves a lot of zombie related books such as The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks and Day by Day Armageddon. I also play lots of single player video games and tennis which is the best sport ever. I found this podcast because of one of my best friends hearing it from one his friends who is planning to be a director. On the nerdier side I am a huge Lotr (Lord of the Rings) especially the books to precede them (The Hobbit, The Silmarilion). Oh and I love to read. That about sums me up. Can't wait for the rest of this great story!

Hello Hello...Damian here, long time listener here from Sydney. Decided to hop on to the forums a bit more. Bed timing AFTER series 2 finishes, but oh well gets me ready for the 3rd :)

Welcome to the forums guys!

Hello everyone. I'm Jill and I just started listening to We're Alive. I was driving my friend and me home to LA from Comic Con and we started to listen to the first season CDs. He said that he was all caught up and was just waiting for the next episode. He thought I would like it and wanted me to listen. I have to commute a lot and I burned through those podcasts. Started listening on 7/24 and I'm all caught up now (8/3). Everyone can probably guess I'm a nerd because I was coming back from Comic Con so you could guess that my interests are comic books, video games, television, and movies. But I am also a LA Kings fan. A perfect evening for me could involve me driving to a Kings game listening to the newest episode of We're Alive. I'm looking forward to that possibility this fall.

Welcome to the forums, Jill. Great to see another person hooked on the show so fast! *wrings hands fiendishly* Hope you had a blast at Comic Con, too.
