Introduce Yourself!

[AutumnBlonde]

Hello,

I'm Erica. Certified elementary school teacher, using my teaching degree to plan and design curriculum in a college setting. Decided I wasn't a big fan of the 1-6 graders after doing my student teaching. I enjoy writing, and I love to read, run, and cook.

I discovered the We're Alive Podcast after reading the Slow Burn series (which I highly recommend, by the way for those who enjoy the infected/zombie genre). After blazing through the first 5 volumes in the Slow Burn series in a little under 2 weeks, I knew I'd have a while to wait for book 6 (Fall 2014, to be exact), and in need of a fix, a Google search led me to the podcast, and eventually to the forum, here.

I have only made it to chapter 27 of the podcasts, but I've enjoyed every one of them. I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone to fill in some of the blanks I haven't been able to fill in for myself, related to the storyline, and to read others reviews, as well as get to know others who enjoy the genre I enjoy so much.

Khalidak and AutumnBlonde, welcome to the Forum! I'm pretty new myself. Guess that makes us all recruits. Watch out for that Sgt Puck though! He likes to harass newbies.

HOW DO YOU STREAM ON YOUR xBOX 360!?

Not really the right page to post this on, but anyway.....

You'd have to use a capture card to transmit the live feed from the xbox onto a computer, and then livestream that feed.

Google it. Google knows everything.

Anyway, Welcome all you new guys! Hope you get to enjoy your stay here.

Hi All, Welcome to the community peoples!

Hi everyone!
I'm Alie from the U.S. I'm a huge fan of the horror genre, especially zombies! I've watched every zombie movie I can find, played countless hours of l4d2, and am slowly trying to knock out all the main Resident Evil games. I've seen all the RE movies (they're terrible/i love them) and read all the S.D. Perry books too!)
I'm a recent graduate from university and work as a freelance illustrator. Podcasts help me stay focused as I work, and I inevitably stumbled upon this one. I'm only on chapter 22, but the unique take on the infected has me hooked, especially the zombies that appear to have cognizance... creepyy.

In the event of a zombie apocalypse I'm totally screwed since I live in the city.
Nice to meet my fellow zombie lovers!

Welcome Kaylee. I love the RE movies and videogames too. I don't think the films are that bad, though the last one wasn't as exciting as had hoped it would be.

Howdy Folks
I just finished the series this morning around 4am after first listening to it about 10 days ago. Magnificent entertainment.

Not generally a zombie fanatic, but I do read walking dead, watch the show, and enjoy the original black and white george romero, night of the living dead. I'm also a big fan of the Left 4 Dead zombie video game, as well as the Max Brooks "Zombie Survival Guide" and "World War Z."

Okay, who am I kidding? I'm a zombie nut, and I am one of those crazy zombie geeks who constantly plans and makes certain preparations for Z-Day.

I was turned onto the show by sort of accident. I'm an apartment maintenance technician by trade, and I usually spend most of my day with headphones in my ears while I work on projects. A coworker, my building's porter, does the same. And on one such occasion on about the 4th of August, 2014, where we were turning an apartment from Apocalypse to Rent Ready, I asked him what he was listening to. "Simon Peg on the Nerdist with Chris Hardwick." 3 things jumped out at me.

That Night, I downloaded "The Nerdist App" by Happy Pizza. a TERRIBLE way to listen to the show. After getting through about 100 - 200 shows through the month of August (just me and the podcast), I downloaded a different app, "Podcast addict." it had many better features than the app I had been using previously.

After my initial search for just the Nerdist podcasts, the associated shows of Nerdist Industries came up, and there it was. Right there, just waiting to be clicked upon. "We're Alive."

So i did. i downloaded the first 6 episodes. Chapters 1 and 2. I gave it a listen on my way to work on an early Friday. At first I laughed, quite a bit. Especially Michael's initial description of Peggs. "She had chocolate brown hair, and brown eyes . . .etc" (What is this, Detective Noir?) But by the time we got to the Army Reserve base, and Saul being scolded by Angel, "It looked like you weren't even trying to avoid the Commander!"

That was Thursday, the 18th of September. I covered quite a bit of ground since then, and as glad as I am that I didn't have to wait with anticipation like most - the episodes were all laid out in front of me - I do miss that I never got a chance to go to a live recording. That would truly have been a blast.

So, there it was, 4am, and I was ready to enroll in training!
