Looks like the flu turned out to be the zombie virus after all.

So, basically, they are saying the flu, a disease that makes people feel shitty for upon to weeks at a time, makes some people aggressive and voilent? Oh, teens, that is. Yeah, very not-stating the obvious, heh.

Hopefully Japan's secret army of mechas are equipped to deal with the zombie uprising, mind you these are more 28 days later zombies rather than zombie zombies, ah well, *fetches his electric guitar* Time to slay some zombies with the power of metal. It works in L4D2 and Brutal Legend.

Are they sure these teens haven't just been playing too many video games?
<______>

I kid, I kid.

Anyone know what to do with my brothers M4 so it shoots full auto? Wait we don't have that many bullets so looks like I'm going for single shots to the head.

 

[rokkolpo]

SHOOT EM' IN THE HEAD!

yay leon qoute!

 

[SimuLord]

Great. The H1T1 virus is upon us.

crowbar or cricket bat.... choices choices choices

Time to bring out the old crowbar.

Didn't you guys play Half Life 2? The crowbar sucks balls against the zombies, it works, but you'll always take a hit as well. Is it really worth it?!

The shotgun is where it's at.

Seriously? You just hit, step back while it attacks, then step forward and hit again. Rinse and repeat, and voila you have one dead zombie. I wouldn't recommend trying that against the fast zombies though...

Alright. Time for me to find a Vietnam Vet, A college Student, A black Office Worker, A biker Dude, A souther Gambler, Mechanic, Coach and Reporter and Find a building with a red steel door.

Does that make you Ellis?

 

[SextusMaximus]

I'M A STUDENT!!! AND I'M ALSO - wait lemme check....

DAMN!

I'm gonna die.

 

[GamingAwesome1]

Alright! Time to kick some zombie arse! Where'd I put my baseball bat?

 

[Jharry5]

The article didn't even mention the 'z' word.

Er, I mean... I knew all the time spent planning would come in handy one day.

 

[Verbal Samurai]

Bring it...I have almost 1000 rounds of 7.62mm ammo.

 

[Slick Samurai]

If I read it correctly, it said that the medicine the teens were given was causing the behavior. In that case, a bunch of drugged up teens? Of course they'll act abnormal.

So glad my Dad has a tool shed...axes, sled hammers, saws, hedge trimmers, could rig up a flame thrower, nail gun, endless possibilities!

Now i just gotta find me a decent mall!

 

[oppp7]

Ah well, looks like the end of the world is nigh. Time to lock myself in my room.

Better safe than sorry.

Well, it appears I'm already past step 1 of the preparation.
OT: I doubt it's anything important.

 

[spacepope22]

I've got the zombie survival guide, so I'll be ok.

 

[Master_Fast]

Ah, a good day to have all those guns I inherited.
Now, if only I could find them.

 

[hazabaza1]

Let me get my shotgun.
