jawathehutt Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I fully intend on annexing the UP for Wisconsin during any zombie invasion. Its not even connected to Michigan, I mean come on. Failing that I will take over a small 3rd world country and hang out there until overrun and destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobias Reiper Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 How bad would Zombies be really? It wouldn't be hard to kill them really, cause guess what? They're dead humans resurrected. And if they already were dead, how hard would it be to kill 'em again? All you need is a frying pan. Oh yea, and on the off chance you get infected, in the while before you turn, anyone you're with wouldn't refuse to kill you like in the movies, they'd shoot your face in with a shotgun stat, so that wouldn't be much of a problem either.

Mono_Giganto Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 How bad would Zombies be really? Pretty bad, considering that zombies aren't supposed to experience feelings like pain, exhaustion, or fear. You can't get much more relentless than that. It wouldn't be hard to kill them really, cause guess what? They're dead humans resurrected. You know, considering the great majority of us have never actually killed another human being, let alone been trained to do so, I really doubt most people find it as simple as you seem to. Not to mention, there are tons of actions that would prove potentially lethal to live humans, while zombies are depicted as only being destroyed by a hit to the brain. And if they already were dead, how hard would it be to kill 'em again? The whole core of zombie lore is that zombies aren't really human anymore; they're tireless, fearless killing machines who only have a single point of weakness, and not one that is particularly easy for the common person to strike. All you need is a frying pan. Well, considering that you'd need to either behead the zombie, or somehow hit its brain, I don't think you'd be able to destroy a single zombie, let alone the four others that grabbed both of your legs while you were so focused on panning that one zombie, or the 87 behind them. Oh yea, and on the off chance you get infected, in the while before you turn, anyone you're with wouldn't refuse to kill you like in the movies, they'd shoot your face in with a shotgun stat, so that wouldn't be much of a problem either. You know, the manner in which you make light of killing people bothers me somewhat.... Anyhow, I really doubt the majority of people would be able to so quickly and absolutely cut off all of the emotional attachments that "plague" our species the way you seem to think they would.

purifier Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 You know, the manner in which you make light of killing people bothers me somewhat.... I believe TR is just telling you like it is. I mean what would you do if there was a real life situation like that. Would you wait until they finally turned Zombie on you and bite you, when your were not looking? Or would you put them out of there misery soon, knowing what would actually happen later if you didn't beforehand. The infected person would probably beg you to do so anyway, he or she knowing what they would become later own. Of course you probably wouldn't shoot them in the face directly, unless they had actually turned before you knew it and you panicked with a quick shotgun blast in order to defend yourself. Anyhow, I really doubt the majority of people would be able to so quickly and absolutely cut off all of the emotional attachments that "plague" our species the way you seem to think they would. Ah, you would be suprised as to what people would do in a "Do or Die" mythical situation like that. It's about survival you know, we will do whatever we can to survive - we all what to live....even the Zombie's too. EDIT: Btw, apparently some people do take this seriously. I just found a book on the internet describing similar situations...check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zombie_Survival_Guide Hmmm, would you say this is kinda of freaky?

"The Zombie Survival Guide, published in 2003, is a tongue-in-cheek survival manual dealing with the potentiality of a zombie attack. Its author, Max Brooks, lays out detailed plans for the average citizen to survive zombie uprisings of varying intensity and reach." Yes, tongue-in-cheek, very serious stuff you found there...

Frankly, if I'd gotten infected by a zombie, I'd prefer to end it myself. But you're right--there really wouldn't be any other way. It's not like in Resident Evil, where the anti-virus is conveniently around when one of the main characters gets bitten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I would prefer to do it myself too, but I'd would be too chicken-s**t to do it. And also, knowing my luck, something would be wrong with the freak'in gun.....something like the bullet being a damn dud and that being the last bullet left. Well, I guess I could hammer myself to death with it. (The gun that is.) Sucks to be me. Edit: You know what, maybe the bullet would be better?

igyman Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Frankly, if I'd gotten infected by a zombie, I'd prefer to end it myself. Heck, if I got infected I'd let it turn me. I mean, I'm far to intelligent to end up as an ordinary zombie, so I'd probably turn into some kind of superzombie and take control of all the undead grunts.

I mean, I'm far to intelligent to end up as an ordinary zombie, so I'd probably turn into some kind of superzombie and take control of all the undead grunts. I'm not sure you can really take control of a bunch of things that wander around and have the most incredibly stirring conversations EVER. Here's an example of one of those conversations: Zombie 1: "Braaaaaains..." Zombie 2: "Brains...?" Zombie 1: "BRAINS!!!!!!" Although with more recent Zombie games and such, the Zombies just scream like hell now, so it'd be more like Zombie 1: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH Zombie 2: RAWRSFLOGIIIITE Louis: GRABBIN' PEELZ! Besides, with you as a Zombie, hearing the sounds "Ohohoho, this is DELICIOUS" and YESH! YESH! Would sound a little odd in a Zombie Apocalypse, don't ya think?

Even when we are outnumbered we don't give up! Unless your french (JK). I actually do this as a hobby, due to the fact I'm 16 and have nothing else to do ever. We got tactical missile (Whop! Fried half a city with this puppy!), plasma rifles, sonic electronic hull breakers! We got nukes, knives, sharp sticks! In short, there's no way we could loose.

Ulmont Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Well... since you never see zombie movies in the tropics, or the deserts for that mater (most are in urban megatropolises of course), I'll head to Russia, or Alaska. They'll freeze to death or... oh crap. GLOBAL WARMING PEOPLE! WE'RE SCREWED! On a related note, would it be possible to create some sort of virus that cut off higher brain function and induce anger and violence (besides beer).

Q Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Rookie mistake. Shotguns are great as distractions, or when backed into a corner, but you're far better off with weapons that don't alert other zombies to your presence. After all, what good is a weapon that attracts two more zombies for every one you kill? OK, point taken. How about napalm, then? Lots and lots of napalm.
