Zombies - the lessons taught to us by games.

[zebrin]

hum... run to the hills(Good song) but seriously, just head for a high mountain. snow is snow, cold is cold, and I am sure that they would freeze just as well in the mountains as they do in the arctics.

You Americans have it easy. If zombies break out us Brits will have to make crossbows or something.

We're on an island, we're safe. Besides, stuff like this only ever happens in America.

Don't know about you but there's a NATO base 10 minutes from my flat. Hello SA80s, good bye zombies. Also helps I've been given an hour's instruction on using the fiddly buggers.

Hehehehehe,
I've got a Marine base, a commando base, the regimental headquarters of The Rifles, an air base, and about 4 CCfS. Which adds up to about 1000 guns, just on the kids in the cadet forces.
Phew, I can just sit back and let everyone else sort it.

Yes, but this also means that civilians would be dispensable as the military would be in control.


The only thing I've learned from zombie games is that suddenly shotgun shells are only packaged in boxes of six, instead of the 50/100 packs I can regularly pick up for skeet shooting.

Crikey, if zombies broke out in Australia we'd all have to move to Ayers Rock/Uluru (The worlds biggest sedimentary rock in the center of Aus) since the dirty buggers wouldn't be able to climb it. Other than that we're screwed since civilians don't have guns.

One word. Boomerang. Infinite ammo decapitation machine. You guys are sorted, every Australians is trained with one, right?

One question. Zombies are the undead, which has pretty loose laws defining the err... state of "being" not to mention it represents a varied demographic ranging from mindless zombies to the prince of deception Nosferatu, if you pay any attention to that sort of stuff.

Now, I know there are basic rules of determining whether something is alive or not, and one of them that strikes me is the necessity of feeding, and the subsequent reflex of producing waste. I know that we living eat and err... produce waste, to be politically correct about it.

But it would seem that zombies have skipped the latter aspect. As one VERY eloquent dying man once put it "Hey, aren't zombies great? All they do is eat and eat and eat. Just like you Americans"

So my question is, if zombies eat all that human flesh, where does it all go? While it may be convenient for survivors, seeing as the bathrooms are practically the only safe place in Willamette, Colorado, I have to wonder, what happens to all that cannibalism? Are zombies permanently constipated? Here I thought people voided their bowels when they died? Where's the zombie poo?

I think they actually vomit all of the waste

Zomibes. We all know we're going to have to deal with them at some point. In the same way that America's Army is training kids to fight for the Capitalist pig dog that is America what games should we be getting our kids to play to prep them for Z-day?

Left 4 Dead is out soon and I'm certainly looking forward to practising backpedalling whilst firing into the hordes.

Also, what are your favourite zombie games? Did anyone actually play Corpse Killer on the 32x?

Wear lots of layers and tape your gloves on to your coat so you can't get bitten.

They'd probably still dump you on your arse if you get complacent and is doesn't matter if you're bite resistant if you can be bludgeoned to death!

The zombies learn to use tools, such as hammers...
Oh no. That is a zombie apocalypse scenario no one has prepared for.
The zombies take up carpentry...

Layers can't beat Chainmail...
Except perhaps in rossatdi's hammer wielding zombie apocolypse. Then perhaps you should go with bubble wrap.

Uh... yes! Of course we are!

One of the zombies in Night of the Living Dead uses a rock to smash out some car headlights. Another use a trowel to kill someone to death.

Holy shit, your right!
And if George A. Romero says it about Zombies, it must be so.

I've seen many a film where people are usually pulled apart by the undead. Therefore, some things are neccessary.

-A deep sea divers suit with everything sealed up, and all limbs and torso secured together by braces of some kind, or some metallic frame, so that when a limb is pulled, the brace locks, and that limb is going nowhere. Head gear is essential, and maybe an electrical trap, so that anything that touches your metal suit (except you) is getting enough volts up their jacksie to light up half of Holland. Basically, Bioshock Big Daddy > The Horde.
-Transportation. Whilst we all know the roads are going to be chaos, its still not going to be a good idea to waddle down to Dover in your Big Daddy suit. A large van or truck will suffice. Spikes attatched to the front bumper are essential for aesthetic appeal.
- Weaponry is going to be needed just to ensure that you and your friends don't lay underneath a pile of undead bastards, bored off your face as they try to grab at your fleshy entrails, only to get Amsterdamned right up. Keep them at bay with mellee objects such as duel wielded chainsaws and shotguns. Molotovs and other explosives are ill advised, because if something gores wrong, you're going nowhere in a hurry.
- Get yourself a big boat, and head to the Shetland Isles. Nothing happens there.

If you're a college chick, have an A-cup size, and watch a lot of horror movies, you are qualified to weild a variety of weaponry and, most importantly, be a survivor in a zombiepocalypse!

Hehe... Nerd guys get killed after the black guys, but it is the nerd chicks that rise to the occasion!
>=D

 

[nikomas1]

That your going to DIE! If the toughest settings taught me something its that you WON'T live, So give it a rest already ^^?

 

[sequio]

[Hunde Des Krieg]

BE QUIET! SSSSSHHHHHHHH! any sound will attract the hordes, a crossbow is your friend, cars are your enemy, loose clothing and hair will kill you. The zombie survival guide is your bible when the day finally comes.

I assume you are using L4D as a reference here?

If Michael Jackson has taught us anything it is that the best defense against the undead is formation dance.
