The Walking Dead is heading back to AMC for a brand new season in October. At Comic-Con last month a new trailer for the season was released and, of course, fans were pretty excited, to say the least.
But as great as it is, could said trailer be improved? Perhaps if it were made with LEGO? Fortunately, we don’t have to wonder as YouTube user Kristo499 has already done the heavy lifting for us. Yes, after the break is the Season Five trailer for The Walking Dead made with LEGO.
We’ve also included the “original” trailer as well for comparison. You’re welcome.

Carl is eating cereal as Michonne jokes with him. She is wearing normal people clothes, and is acting like a normal person, not the emotionless zombie she’s been all along. They talk and joke about soy milk, and for a minute they seem actually happy. Not a good emotion for Carl, but none really seem to be. Carl says he’d rather drink Judith’s formula than soy milk, and the realization that she is gone sends him back into a funk.
Rick thanks Michonne for making Carl laugh, and tells her she is the friend to him that he cannot be, since he is too busy being his father. Michonne offers to take Carl looking for supplies so Rick can rest up. Rick objects, but Michonne promises him it’s only one day of rest.
As they go from house to house, Michonne is trying to get Carl to laugh again, but she’s basically acting like an idiot. Carl tells her he was laughing on the inside. She tells Carl about her son, and says she could make him laugh all the time. Carl seems shocked that Michonne was ever an actual person. Can’t say I don’t agree. He asked all kinds of questions, which Michonne promises to answer one at a time as they clear each room.

Chris and Joe are back once again this week with a brand new episode of The Flickcast. That’s right, four in a row! Amazing again and again. Speaking of amazing, this week’s episode (as they often do) includes lots of amazing topics covering all things geek.
Some of these include the new, awesome trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past, the fact that Tom Cruise isn’t such a bad guy, their predictions for the end of The Walking Dead and their love for craft beer.
Speaking of craft beer, Chris and Joe both picked the same thing this week. Shocking, right? That’s right, the guys both picked the show Brew Dogs, which airs on the Esquire Network. Check it out, it’s fun.

Sadly, Comic-Con 2013 is over, but luckily I survived. And that’s not just some cheesy metaphor. Every year there seems to be some fluke accident or Hall H pencil stabbing that occurs so there is always that off chance things might go awry.
For me, it could have happened when I went through The Walking Dead Escape. As we have mentioned in the past, The Walking Dead Escape is a zombie run combined with a pretty intense obstacle course which left my palms scarred since SDCC 2012. This year though I was determined to be a survivor and I had a plan.
Most importantly was that this time I wasn’t alone. Joining me on the course this time were The Flickcast’s WallE and our own social media ninja Marissa (sadly a social media ninja’s main powerset revolves around social media and not the art of ninjitsu but we made due).

Even with Comic-Con fast approaching, we were able to get some time with Liam Brenner, the producer behind The Walking Dead Escape. For those who didn’t experience it last year, The Walking Dead Escape is an obstacle course built through the levels of Petco Park with a zombie invasion taking hold. Stay tuned to the Flickcast during Comic Con to get our video coverage of the event.
The Flickcast: Thanks for taking the time to talk with us about The Walking Dead Escape. How does one go about becoming the producer of an event like The Walking Dead Escape? Do you have any previous experience with the zombie world?
Liam Brenner: Yes, I’ve narrowly escaped many times and last year’s Escape event was no exception. We know the hospital in San Diego has been abandoned and is now overrun with walkers. We will be setting up the parameter around PetCo Park shortly and Survivors will only have one way out.

Last year, players got to experience a Walking Dead experience that rivaled the comics with Telltale’s The Walking Dead. Sticking to a traditional point and click adventure style of storytelling rather than an action game or shooter (like AMC’s The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct).
Last week on Tuesday for PSN users and Friday for XBLA users, Telltale released a special episode for The Walking Dead. Meant to act as a bridge between season 1 and the upcoming season 2, there is a departure from part of what people loved so much of the first season for. But, the new aspects of the game and its storytelling keeps the hook there for players for the next season.
The Long
The first thing players will note in The Walking Dead: 400 Days is the separation from the main characters in the first season. Where there is an appearance from some periphery characters, the majority of those seen in the game are new to both the game and the comics. There is also a group of six characters players take the role of (five characters with their own chapter and then one epilogue) as opposed to only playing for Lee in the previous title.
This is where things start to feel starkly different. Part of what was so addictive in the first season of The Walking Dead was following the relationship between Lee and Clementine. In 400 Days though, before you can get too invested in a single character, you move onto the next. The long term results of these actions also remain to be seen as to how these characters will play a role in the second season alongside those who made it through the first.
