Topic: Zombie Apocalypse Posted: March 28 2010 at 21:02 |
OK so here's the scenario: You are in the comfort of your own home with no-one but yourself. You see on the news that a zombie apocalypse is well on it's way, and you look out of your window to see a sh*t load of the moaning, slack necked blighters approaching your house. Of course, they are quite in the distance so you have time to prepare your home and armour it or whatever. What's your plan of action? Myself, I'd probably get a few days worth of food and a ladder, and climb onto my roof, letting the ladder drop to the ground. Sit back and watch the show baby This thread was inspired by my watching of 28 weeks later earlier on Cracking film, definitely recommended.

1. Download Love_Beach.torrent
2. Play Love_Beach.torrent through home stereo
3. Crank it up to 11.
4. Watch all human/zombie flesh dissolve.
5. Nihil.

I have a large amount of artillery here, so I'd make put a bunch of food up in the storage in my garage, and make a final stand there. Luckily they won't be able to reach me there, I could cut a hole in the ceiling to get to the roof to watch out and escape if necessary.

Have fun getting eaten after a few days. If they're: 1) Slow zombies I'll run for my car, drive until there's a place with less or no zombies, and break into houses (hopefully unoccupied at the time), until I find one with a gun. (Protip: any gun retail outlets will either be empty or guarded by their owners/worker who will shoot your dick off as soon as you walk in the door.) I'll probably just keep driving until I can't find any gas at stations anymore. I'll make my way to Washington state or Canada, where it's colder and more remote. Maybe hunker down and see how long I can survive. 2) Fast zombies If they're at the door, I'll most likely use the copious alcohol in my apartment to get too drunk to feel pain, then put on "Spirits" by Pallas and slit my wrists/neck in my bathroom. ...or I'll feel like trying plan 1, and maybe succeeding. If they're far enough away, I'll try plan 1.

Post on an internet forum about how ridiculous and unrealistic it is for zombies to be attacking us.

First of all, I wonder where I got a TV, and how I got reception to watch the news. Then, deciding I have no use for the thing, I unplug it from the wall, walk outside, and break it over the face of the first zombie I see. I laugh at irony that only I can perceive. Then I get swarmed by a dozen other zombies and become one of the undead. Once undead, I start a zombie prog band.

Are we assuming that the zombies are classic zombies? IE, slow and wanting brains?

I'm thinking Night of the Living Dead kind of zombies, but if you wanna attempt surviving an onslaught of 28 Days Later zombies then be my guest Ignore my first plan of action. It's no fun, and if I say fall off the roof and die, then that'll be going like a pussy. Nah, I think just grab a baseball bat and a couple of knives and just go nuts, maybe the car idea also. If they were runners, then I'd probably hide somewhere

I'd use my back door to get of here after having my important items and stuff such as money, cellphone, light, map, Ipod(lol) etc. (if I have a gun that too of course) if there is a car (a proper one) I drive until I get too tired to do so or I ran out of gas after getting some food and water supplies from a market (from an abandoned one). I'd find a way to arm myself with powerful weapons such as automatic rifles and grenades. I'd find a safehouse (if possible with one enterence) and make a camp there. Then I wait until they come or they die from hunger.

Gotta admire someone who has a good plan.
