Warning: Some spoilers for AMC's The Walking Dead...

We're six seasons deep now into AMC's The Walking Dead and the question of "Who gets to live?" is still one of paramount importance. With no real endgame in sight, this show's currency is day-to-day survival and which characters get to stick around for a few more weeks, months, or seasons.

And with last Sunday's episode delivering a big death that may not have been what it seemed, we thought the time was perfect for a good ol' Walking Dead survival guide. The best ways to ensure a long(ish) life in a crazed, hopeless zombie-filled world. Because all the characters who are alive on the show now are around for a reason.

The original Spider-Man trilogy director Sam Raimi admits that he "messed up" with Spider-Man 3, but says he would "love" to be given another chance - perhaps with Marvel's upcoming reboot of the character.

In an interview with The Week, Raimi says, "I messed up on the third one."

He added, "I think they're so complete now, Marvel. They probably don't need me anymore. But if they needed me? I'd love to. It's great to be wanted."

Raimi also remarked on Spider-Man's roller-coaster history in film, admitting that he's "not really on top of" Spider-Man's various incarnations.

Capcom has released its financial results for the first half of its fiscal year, and while net sales are up 22 percent, the company's operating income is down 35 percent compared to last year.

The publisher has seen strong performance in repeat sales and digital downloads for games like Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and Resident Evil Revelations 2.
