"Apocalypse Man" Airs This Week On The History Channel

This week is Armageddon Week on The History Channel, so there will be lots of Mutant Future food-for thought for viewers. Other than the Nostradamus and Year 2012 "the-end-of-the-world-is-nigh" specials, there will be some interesting post-apocalyptic shows as well, such as the always-interesting Life After People. (The scenes of the crumbling cities and infrastructures always give me ideas for settings.)

The one show that has my interest peaked, however, is Apocalypse Man. The show's host, Rudy Reyes, journeys through a post-apocalyptic world and shows the audience survival techniques in an urban environment. Could be interesting fodder for future games. Airs Wednesday at 9 p.m. with repeats throughout the week.

  2. Life After People is a great show and definitely idea fodder. My only gripe is that the last 2 minutes of the show are usually reserved for larger time scales (100 years and beyond). I'd love to see a whole episode dedicated to a few millennia or an epoch from now.

  8. I read on a BB that it's Detroit--don't know if that's true, though.

  9. Greatly enjoyed this show; Rudy Reyes speaks with great authority. I might dispute some of his premises, but us "wild men" are a contentious lot; I remain certain that if our skills are ever put on the line, we'll **all** be wrong. But with luck there'll be enough of us around to cancel out each other's errors!

    Anyway, this is good TV. I'd like to see a lot more of Rudy.
