Yeah. It's short, easy and fun.

Yes. The book that inspired it, 'The Good War', is excellent too. Imo it's the only really good piece of zombie fiction ever made, excluding 28 Days (if that even counts).
The great thing about WWZ is that the zombies themselves aren't even that potent a threat; it's human incompetence and evil in the _face_ of the ghouls that really make the drama.

Also, >>2527483 reporting. This is a pretty shitty board. You're going to have to work hard to protect your jimmies from all the overt retardation here. Pretend you're gold panning in an open sewer; there's valuable stuff, but it's floating in a river of shit.

You should listen to the Audiobook.
It's got excellent production values and has an all star cast including Henry Rollins of Black Flag which gave me a bit of a boner as a /mu/tant.

You can find the Audiobook on the Pirate Bay so there really isn't anything stopping you.

Agreed. The 'Mercenary' guy especially is my favourite, and the dude who was in both the old and new army. I thought the audiobook parts for the asian characters were a bit shit though.

Henry Rollins played the Merc dude and the part was just perfect for him. He's real srs business all the time so it really wasn't a character.

I actually never listened to an audiobook before.
How is it? I mean do you just sit on a sofa and listen? Or do you do some other stuff while you are listening? If so, can you keep concentrating on the story while being occupied with something else?

It's all on youtube. Also audiobooks are good for driving with.

But doesn't your mind slip off the listening when you are concentrating on something else, like driving?

Only if you're a gormless mouth breather.
