None. They (and most other postapocalyptic settings) can go suck a railroad spike. I'm getting so fucking sick and tired of them, and living in one would not be in any way advisable. If I had to choose, I suppose I'd take the waterworld one. Or the zombie one.
All of the other choices pale in comparison to the master of all wastelands... THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!!!!
Seriously though, zombies are the shizzle.

Plague. If it's a post apocalypse, that means you've survived the plague, and are probably immune. It's pretty much plain sailing from then on.
Though, "live" is a bit of a misnomer when it comes to zombies, I mean, I could be a zombie, yeah. I'd probably enjoy it actually. Sure, the hours are tough, and the pay isn't great, but you're your own boss. How many other harbingers of the doomsday can claim that?
Nuclear Apocalypse... not really that much fun unless you have a Geiger counter. Unfortunately, I don't have a Geiger counter. I don't think most people have Geiger counters either. Radiation is completely invisible, and kills you in a very slow and painful manner. For every super mutant or ghoul there'd be over a million people who just get tumours. Oh, and then there's the issue with disease, in a normal apocalypse you've got yer standard diseases, in a nuclear apocalypse, they have that mutation thing, except, well... viruses and bacteria are single celled, so they'll mutate in this same radiation at a much greater pace, and don't get tumours.
Meteor Strike... I'm pretty sure you mean "Asteroid strike", a meteor is something completely different. Either way, this sort of thing only comes in two flavours, the "everything's fine, no one's hurt" variety, and the "oh shit everyone dies" variety. There is quite literally no way to survive an apocalyptic asteroid collision, short of living in a bunker every second of your life. (Simply put, we can't detect these things until they actually hit us, as they travel so fast)
Robot apocalypse! This seems plausible. And would probably suck pretty bad. I don't have much to say about it other than that.
Economic Apocalypse! It's really just anarchy though, but there's a lot more people out to get you than the other apocalypse, so that kinda sucks.
Global Warming - Oh no! The sea level has risen by 6cm! What a disaster! Beaches will recede by a few meters! How will we cope![/sarcasm]
Biblical Apocalypse - So, wait, God botherers will all leave the earth? Then we get a competent leader? (sure, he may be the son of Satan, but hell, it'll be better than any of the party leaders over here! =D ) Holy cow! Where do I sign up! =D

Time travel paradox apocalypse: Some idiot goes back in time and runs into themselves from the past. this creates a paradox and thus the end of all existance... Later world, smell my ass!
This. I feel that a zombapocolyps with slow zombies gnawing on your door is kinda cozy ^^ A few survivors and you in a super market with scarce supplies.. Well i'm all over it! and the ''track star zombies'' is nothing for my since i'm not particular fast.Tarakos said:
Zombies, but not L4D ones, hell no we'd all be screwed over, i'm talking about RE2 zombies the slow dumb ones.
Grab a Zombie Survival Guide and follow it to the letter as best you can. Done!Jark212 said:
Probably the WaterWorld one.
Classic, reliable nuclear apocalypse.
If the bombs kill me it'll be quick.
If they don't, then I have the best chance of survival out of the options.

your basically saying i made it through the plague. so therefore the world would just be alot more empty.
which im fucking FINE WITH. gimme your loot peoples =]]
literally i would loot like no fucking other. gimme gimme gimme gimme
although if you meant the plague lived on and i could still and probably die from it, i might choose l4d, depending on the game mechanics vs. real life mechanics of it..
because i would just live in a steel building and own them like crazy. there isn't a AI director in real life so they'd be sloppy and extremely unorganized, plus they would never know where i was going so they couldn't ambush me.
while im decently fast enough...those fuckers have near limitless energies to chase me down so id slow down before they do for sure, so if it was 28 days/weeks later, theyd more then tear my ass to shreadsBaskerville said:
slow zombies <<<<<< fast zombies, in real life of course, in games, slow zombies get overpowered bodies and magnetism to your fucking location
Global Flooding is my choise...
from wiki:
If small glaciers and polar ice caps on the margins of Greenland and the Antarctic Peninsula melt, the projected rise in sea level will be around 0.5 m. Melting of the Greenland ice sheet would produce 7.2 m of sea-level rise, and melting of the Antarctic ice sheet would produce 61.1 m of sea level rise. The collapse of the grounded interior reservoir of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet would raise sea level by 5?6 m

Post-Megaman Cataclysm according to Bob And George Comics:
Everyone was suppose to die, but the Author decided "Screw it." and everyone moved to Acapulco.

Zombies. I have a kit for zombies. I also have a kit for nuclear fallout, but zombies are my current priority.
