Walking Dead FPS Dated, Wii U Version Revealed

AMC has revealed that The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct will be released on March 26th in North America and March 29th in Europe.

Unlike Telltale’s episodic The Walking Dead: The Game (which was set in the world of The Walking Dead comics), Survival Instinct is a prequel to the AMC TV show and follows the story of brothers Daryl and Merle Dixon. Norman Reedus and Michael Rooker, who play the characters on the show, will reprise their roles in Survival Instinct.

Report: Walter P. Chrysler Museum closing today

By Zach Bowman

Walter P. Chrysler Museum

After 13 years of operation, the Walter P. Chrysler Museum on the Chrysler campus in Auburn Hills is closing its doors today for good. Waning attendance meant the 55,000-square-foot museum couldn’t meet its own costs, seemingly leaving the facility’s 67 vintage vehicles and slew of displays without a home. The museum had been curated by the Chrysler Museum Foundation, a public entity.

Fortunately, Chrysler itself has stepped in to save the vast majority of the cars and trucks housed in the collection, and the newest additions to the automaker’s stable will be curated by the Chrysler Foundation, the automaker’s charitable arm. While ancient iron like a 1902 Rambler and a 1917 Willys-Knight 88-8 Touring are certainly worthy of a long look, the museum also housed some impressive pieces of the automaker’s technological history.

Those include a 30-cylinder tank engine designed and manufactured in World War II. The 25-liter behemoth was comprised of five inline sixes mashed together and generated a modest 450 horsepower. The collection also includes plenty of muscle cars and a few gems from defunct brands like DeSoto, Plymouth and AMC.

While it is ceasing normal public visiting hours, the museum apparently won’t be shuttering completely – it will be used for Chrysler functions and potentially open to the public in limited fashion for special exhibits.

Florida teen arrested after carrying gun into theater

A 17-year-old from Jacksonville faces several charges following his arrest for bringing a loaded gun into a movie theater on Christmas night.

The Florida Times-Union reported Friday that an off-duty officer working security at the AMC movie theater at the Orange Park Mall spotted the teen when he went into a theater through an exit.

When the teen couldn’t produce a ticket, the officer told him to leave and not to return. According to a sheriff’s report, the teen wouldn’t leave. Then he tried to get away but the office handcuffed him. The teen told the officer he had a gun in his waistband.

He’s charged with carrying a concealed firearm, resisting arrest and trespassing. He’s also charged for three active warrants for failure to appear in court.
