If you’re at SDCC, and you go to Activision and and are one of the first 100 people to pre-order the new Walking Dead game — not the adventure game Telltale has been doing, but an upcoming FPS — you get a free replica of Darryl’s necklace from The Walking Dead TV series, upon which are hanging four severed ears. Since there are only 100 of them, I’m guessing that a lot of disappointed WD fans are going to have to make due with cutting off the ears of the living. Cutting off ears is the new stabbing people in the eye! You heard it here first! (Via Joystiq)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
