Here's a thread to discuss all your theories on zombies, tactics to stay alive during zombie invasions, games involving zombies (perferably free and able to get over the web), and basically, everything zombieish! DISCUSS!

zombies will one day rise up out of the graves of the freshly-deceased and come lumbering along to eat all of our brains.

yes they will

Fire is your best friend.

Fire is your best friend.

Flamethrowers are my teddy bear.

here's a tip for zombie survival. Get a gun and make a molotov cocktail. Then, go to the nearest gas station, where there will be, without fail, a big gas truck with zombies milling around it. Why this is, I do not know. It just is. Anyway, shoot a hole in the tank, allowing gas to spill out. Then quickly (as the zombies will probably have noticed) light the molotov, throw it into the spreading pool of gasoline, and run like hell. Boom. Minus a few dozen zombies. Repeat.

I like Rob Zombie.

I think he has done well for himself since the breakup of White Zombie which was a good group as well.

I mean the species zombie. Hold on. I'm putting that into a latin translator to get a scientific name for zombie.

Which sounds the coolest?

If the zombie End of the world happened how I would survive depends on two things.

1. If it's the type of Zombie virus that one bite=Dead.

I'm going to hide my ass in some safe place and kill everyone who comes near, just in case they're bitten.

2. If it's the type where the dead rose from the grave, and it only happens once you die.

I'd fare much better.

Oh and a 7.62 Semi Auto Ak-47 is a better friend.

Is this like, some thing you must do? Make on average 3 threads a day?

At first, it will be the latter. But as they quickly evolve (which they will according to Romero), the former will quickly come into being. Also, I do believe all dead should be cremated so something like this won't happen. Also, what ever happened to zombie animals?

Get with the program.

Bullets typically do not work. The problem is, the nervous system is shut down, as well as vitals, so to shoot with medium calibers simply stuns them (or such is my theory). Thus, the perfect weapon is either a constant burning fire (molotov and flamethrower work nice), or a good old shotgun, as it shreds the body. Aim for the legs and the arms boys (that or the torso).

Can we stop with the referencing towards old threads now?

What? the Butterfly thing? *shrug* Umm...this is NS, we usually have two of every topic once a week.

I would get a tanker truck, and make it into a mobile flame thrower baby!

We're under assumption these zombies are of the motley intelligence breed, not the steroid zombies of Dawn of the Dead.

the flame would just turn them into a another reason to avoid them, as it'll still be lurching its way towards you, ON FIRE!!! :eek:
Just fill them with as much lead as possilbe and and hope :mp5:

No, no, no. It's all about the headshots. Headshots! Destroy the brain stem (where the autonomous functions of the body are centered) as that is what's moving them. They seek brains because that is the most basic of human impulses, to eat. The higher brain has been killed off due to virus/death/sight of Paris Hilton, and the more primitive lower brain keeps the zombie moving. Headshots!

Go to Urbandead.com for a nice zombie game. You are in one of two major groups, zombies or survivors. Survivors have a lot of different classes like policeman and fireman, scientist, necrotech researcher. Stuff like that. If you fall prey to a zombie, you have some time before you get turned into one, then you wander around hunting survivors.

You can also get revivified if you find a revivification zone and wait for a necrotech dude to come get you.

It's really neat, you guys ought to try it.


Also, if it was the slow stupid zombie attacks, I am quite sure I would be able to rendevous with any others and mount an effective defense. If it was those smart howler zombies and the real fast ones, I would be done for. As opposed to flamethrowers and shotguns, I would use swords. So much more accurate and less chance for failure.

First, there is nothing that can cause the dead to rise and start chomping on people and stumble around crying for brains. There is also nothing (yet and I don't see how there could be but we've done some other stuff that seemed impossible) that causes people to turn cannibal. That being said, the only way to deal with a zombie threat would be to drop the bomb. That would wipe out the threat and probably the source.

Ah, but guns are much less tiring. You'll only be able to hack at zombies for so long before your arms reach muscle failure.

Also, with guns those zombies don't get close enough to bite.

Yes, but what if like in LotD, the zombies learn to use guns by looking at us humans, then they shoot us and THEN eat us.

You get more of an exercise from fighting zombies with melee weapons. You got to stay in shape :D

A cricket bat is my weapon of choice

Did anyone see 28 Days Later. If so, what did you think of it?

Flame throwers!

Flame throwers!

I'll use one on you!

This may sound stupid, I don't watch many horror movies (fear is a BAD feeling! BAD! why would I pay to feel bad?) but why don't you just use helicopters and aircraft to kill zombies from the air? Assuming they are not intelligent enough to use AA, and they probably wouldn't have that anyway. Just use gunships to strafe them, and zero casualties. Tanks would work too. How do zombies fight tanks and aircraft?

The first time I saw it.. I loved it.

But then I saw it again.. not so good :(

Urban Dead sucks :(

This is kinda fun for a little while tho :p

I'll use one on you!
*clears throat*

I--love--PA--*gasp*

I loved it as well. It seems like the most realistic zombie movie. Plus, it showed how screwed Britain would be if they were overrun with zombies. Mainly beacuse only the military and police have guns.

Well lets see here, usually at the start of a zombie invasion, people (civilians) are on the GROUND! And I don't believe they have military access to a gunship. So they must survive by breaking into a mall and barricading it up and waiting for the military to arrive. Unfortuanetly, people are stupid. They feel that they should try to run. Come on people! You can survive for at least a couple of years with all the food in that mall! Now then, the military, I have no idea why they don't just do that. I really don't...

Well...It's a start. We'll have to send you to one of PA's re-education camps :D

:confused: I thought the police only had night sticks...

If "Timesplitters" has taught me anything, it's that to kill zombies you go into a zombie infested area alone with a shotgun, and end up trapped in a corner by an impermeable crowd of them until you get slapped to death.

:confused: I thought the police only had night sticks...

They have armed and unarmed police. The bobbies (the guys with the hats) don't carry weapons.

:confused: I thought the police only had night sticks...
:eek: WHere the hell do you live???
In America, police are loaded to bear with nightsticks, mace, tasers, automatic pistols, shotguns, semi-automatic assault rifles... No rocket launcher, yet.

Uhh... forget that last post. I forgot to read Kuli's quote.

What are you people talking about?
*inches towards you*
Zombies don't exist.
*slobers*
This discussion is pitiful.
*moves mouth towards your head*
Even if they did exist you people are going about defending yourselves all wrong.
*eats your brains*
Cause one just ate your brain.

Don't worry, you'll have fun. You'll spend 12hrs. learning everything about PA. Once you go there...you'll never want to leave PA again :D

I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE tO DEFINE MEANING!!!
And I saw your paleface zombie coming from a mile away.
BTW, it's spelled "slobbers" not "slobers"

I just killed a zombie yesterday. He came out of a box on the street, groaning. He kept saying "Feed me!". So, I bashed his skull in. He may have wanted a sandwich...but I'm pretty sure he wanted brains. Oh well!

You expect zombies to be able to spell?

Apparently, they can't even spell their own signatures. "meaaning"?

If you behave while you're there. Now, get in the van with the men in white jackets. They'll take good care of you.

Yes. I mean, they need to spell right, so they don't start demanding "Brans" instead of "brains".
They don't want crappy cereal, they want tender grey matter.

Large double handed axe to deal with them if they are single zombies, shotgun for groups. Aim high ^^

NJ's a shit hole! You don't want to go there. Come with me and embrace PA!

Shaun of the Dead was another good one. Though, I didn't like it when the movie would get serious from time to time.

Humm, well I'm alive and thare not. So, wouldn't I be stronger and smarter?
I say the best way to beat them is to not run. Thay come at you, you and whoever is with you, go at them with guns blazing, swords swinging and clubs bashing.

Hells yeah!! That's the kind of attitude people need when faced with hoboes-uh, I mean zombies.

Well...they act like zombies! Always staggering and groaning. They smell like they're dead. And they're always hungry. Hoboes are just like zombies.

Sounds like drunks to me.

Hoboes always ask me for cigarettes.

Zombies are actually the result of a disease called tetrodotoxin. It is found in pufferfish and is also the main ingredient in zombie powder. Fire cannot destroy a zombie fast enough. It takes 5 minutes to destroy normal skin, imagine rougher skin!

Oh and they dont "rise from the graves" it actually happens before death.

Cigarettes must be code for brains. The zombies (hoboes) are evolving!! AAAHHH!!!

*Gets out cricket bat*

Zombies are stupid mindless beings. I'd have no problems killing them with both hands tied behind my back and blinfolded.

My life for postcounter!! *rushes of kill kill some zerg*

*edit, to stay ot*

In case of a zombie invasion I'd prefer a trusty zweihander. Guns are nice but they run out of ammo too quick and one person can only carry that much ammo around. I'm tall (190cm) and quite strong. Give me a huge sword and I'll get some good reach with it! I'll also need a katana for those cramped places where I can't use the zweihander. And then I'll need two butchers axes for the cramped places where my katana won't swing. Oh, and give me kevlar body armour and some plate armour to protect my arms and legs. And a hockey helmet. And a jason mask.

I'll also need a hooker and some drugs. The hooker to fuck me good so I'll have motivation to fight on despite the futility and the drugs so I can keep going for a few days.

Basically, read the book (www.zombiesurvivalguide.com).
