Hmm there was a gay organ player in Dawn of the Dead (the remake). There's a gay couple atm in the Walking Dead who haven't been killed off, they're portrayed normally too. But yeah they're rare, pretty darn rare.thaluikhain said:

Actually i've come up with a theory to the zombie apocalypse. Its not very realistic. I mean if the zombies are the slow ones, then fuck people would be teasing them and shit. Who actually thinks that the military does not have the ability to kill about 100 innocent people. If there the fast type then fuck, how does the military not have the ability to destroy an entire city if possible to preserve to fate of humanity (unless they're all massive cowards). I could explain this in detail, but I just dont feel like it. I think the amount of people who have seen a zombie movie/series/game is pretty high, so they would be cautious (unless they're just dumbfucks). Also how does one actually think that they can make zombies, I mean its pretty absurd (the closest possible reality is the husks in mass effect but even then thats pretty absurd). I think the entire zombie genre is just stupid imo.
Oh...hang out with Milla Jovovich.
She's OtT good at fighting zombies, but also it doesn't look like she eats anything, ever, and she doesn't appear to mind wearing stupid clothes, so no arguing during the looting.

I don't think I'd last very long, I mean last time I wound up in a survival situation I didn't eat anything nor slept nor found shelter and that was 5 days, so I better be realistic, I 'd probably would be one of those guys that dies on the 2nd or 3rd day mostly because he didn't even notice.
Step 1: grab trusty crowbar (they could be zombies of the headcrab variety)
Step 2: ??????
Step 3: profit ££££ or $$$ (sorry couldn't resist)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lets start over
Step 1: grab trusty crowbar
Step 2: grab friends and family and my friend's family can't have my friends moping about all the time that wouldn't be fun
Step 3: find a mall
Step 4: barricade and clear the mall of zombies
Step 5: befriend the guy barricaded himself in the store across the street
Step 6: attempt to rescue my new friend in some sort of improvised armored bus created in montage
Step 7: fail epicly because some little detail we overlooked
estimated survival time 4 min and 36 seconds
what.... i work fast.

Depends on the kind of zombies we're talking about.
If they're slow, walking ones all I need to do is devise some kind of plan to keep them away from the car while I stock up on food. A thousand ramens later, the whole thing has blown over.
If they're fast, running ones well I'd either die screaming 'CHOKE ON 'EM!' or in a fiery explosion because beating eaten alive isn't fun.

I'd agree with that.GethBall said:
The only way it could work is if you have evil magicians behind it...you need someone like that to give orders to the mindless rabble, and you need intelligent undead troops to bolster them.
Zombies would be good for clearing minefields, tempting the enemy to giving away their positions (by firing) and creating distractions. Otherwise, more or less nothing.

Not that I'd want to stereotype people in housing developments that wear hoods, but, yeah, I don't see zombies being a problem.
On a related note, I could go west if I feel threatened. Zombies are much less scary than people in the Riff.

Get my dads's boat, fishing gear and guns, and try to find an isolated house, preferably on a small island in the middle of a lake or river. Focus on stocking up with all of the canned and dehydrated foods, medicine and tools we can find in the surrounding area, as well as catch as many fish as possible until winter. Wait until the following spring.
I figure that one winter in Canada will do a decent job of destroying most of the zombies. By then the gasoline in the boat and car will be useless, so bicycles will be our only option. We'll start travelling east, intent on reaching one of the island provinces. Prince Edward Island is 13 kilometres from the main land, and the only way in or out is flying, boating, or crossing a two-lane bridge that will hopefully be guarded by the military.
If my family and I can't find sanctuary there, then we'll continue travelling east toward Newfoundland. Getting to that island will be much more difficult, considering that a trip on the ferry takes 6 hours, but the odds of zombies being there would be very slim.
If the zombie virus isn't limited to the human species, then there is no hope. Zombie birds, rodents, insects, fish, dogs, cats, horses, cows, bears, wolves, deer, elk, moose and cougars will make survival impossible for anyone without a fallout shelter.

I live in the middle of nowhere. Farms everywhere, livestock everywhere, right by the sea so plenty of sustainable food. I know enough farmers, and enough about it myself to at least raise chickens to eat and grow a decent amount of veg. I have a huge assortment of blunt instruments of assorted shapes and sizes, a fair amount of fighting experience, martial arts training and have a near-genius level IQ. I know IQ doesn't mean that much, but I would still like to think I am fairly intelligent and resourceful. I think I would survive the whole thing. The only problem is, I don't think my friends and family would, and I couldn't live with that if certain people died.
move to russia, i dont think the zombies will be able to move if there frozen.
or if it winter do fuck all because they will freze in good old viking sweden.

Probably for a while but not for a long time (I'm not exactly in top shape so I most likely to died from a heart attack whne trying to run away from a zombie horde).
I make sure to avoid the typical cliche in the zombie movies and come up with my own ideas (make a make shift suit out of duck tape since zombie can't bite it but it will still hurt).

I'd just stay in the house, block up the windows, and wait for them to rot.
Really, they're essentially walking corpses. They will rot pretty damn fast, especially if it's in summer.
and if it's in Winter, they'll freeze since they have no body heat.
If it's inbetween, well then I'll just have a slightly longer wait. =P

I'm Australian, our wild-life is our defense system. They may be animated by black-magic/bite-transferred viruses, but I'd imagine that they won't be able to do much about necrotic venom destroying their muscular system, or so many flies laying eggs in their brains that they get eaten from the inside out within a week, or the terrible heat and humidity and harsh environment causing them to rot at an accelerated rate while actually having to travel FURTHER than other countries to get between reasonable population centres.
So yeah, provided I survive the initial outbreak, and I manage to get out of my suburb (probably a pre-requisite for surviving initially) I'd be okay. The collapse of civilisation would be sad, but seeing as most Australians are in similar/better boats than I am, I doubt we'd be hit that badly (burn the couple thousand zombies that actually appear, hold a nice memorial,take over the world help rid the rest of the world of zombies).

I have my plan made, with a gal I know! We made it whilst drunk one night! She knows a military fanatic who owns an old tank, (well, more of a tracked ACP)... I can drive a tank, and can shoot rifles and a range of other weapons quite well. I also know of a secure site, not too far from where I live, with an armoured bunker.
I would take her, and we will go and shelter in the Bunker. And I will venture out in the tank for fuel, food and ammo...
Problem is IRL I will probably be required to work, so the plan is more theoretical! The original plan also got a bit daft after a while... especially when we drafted the use of a pet werebadger (see below) and Batman... but there was some decent plannage falling out of it too!

I'd be more worried about how long the zombies can survive. Humans can go three days without water, which I've never seen zombies drink, so let's assume they can only go three days without dining on some good ol' human flesh. As the number of predators rises, the amount of prey falls, thus leaving fewer humans for the zombies to eat. Those that end up surviving are likely the more capable sort who are well-hidden or prepared to put up a fight, and either they won't get eaten or will take a lot of zombies with them. Even without using many numbers, it's easy to see that this type of zombie apocalypse won't really last that long, so those of us who are left will make our way back into society, whether we're emerging from our hidey holes or stepping over the mountains of corpses. In this situation, where I've got enough guns and butter to last a few weeks, I'm pretty sure I'd end up surviving. I live on the edge of my town, so throwing my stuff into my truck and hiding in the woods while my food stores lasted wouldn't be a problem.
If the zombies are solar-powered or some shit and don't stop until their brain is destroyed, I'll probably die after a month after I wander around just trying to kill them all.

Okay, well, I've got three advantages working for me right from the start:
1. I don't live in a heavily populated area. Suburbs, pretty much, but not that crowded.
2. I live within convienient driving/walking distance of a forest.
3. I own a copy of the Zombie Survival Guide.
Also, let me take this opportunity to poke holes in alot of these plans:
Unless you've got a shotgun, normal guns aren't going to help you for shit in a real zombie apocalypse. They don't feel pain or fear, and unless every single Escapist here is a crack marksman (and I'm betting you aren't, no matter how much COD you play), you aren't going to be able to hit a zombie's head in the heat of the moment. The only POSSIBLE reason to carry a gun is to scare off other humans, who might try to cause you harm, but that's really it.
Melee weapons are a much better alternative, particularly ones with reach. Chainsaws, however, suck, and should be avoided. Crowbars, shovels, and katanas (but only quality ones, not decorative ones) make excellent zombie killers.
Here's a pretty hot tip: What are zombies? Dead people. And where do alot of people GO when the shit hits the fan? Why, malls and stores to loot, of course. So those kinds of places (or really, anywhere where alot of people are going to gather) are breeding grounds for zombies, and are best avoided. Anywhere where you're not likely to run into other people (like forests) are great places to hunker down. The ultimate irony is that a cemetery is actually a GREAT place to take a breather, since NO ONE would go to a cemetery when zombies are out.
Oh, and anyone that says they're going to try sailing on a boat until it's over, you're fooling yourself. Won't work, even if you have a REALLY big boat.
The best advice you can take from this post is: Keep your head, grab something sharp or heavy, take all the canned food you can comfortably carry, and go somewhere secluded.

Well, if it's an outright apocalypse with no ending in sight, then I won't last very long on account of having shot myself. Can't be bothered with all that nonsense.
