Hi-jack Alert!!!!!!!!!

[Evan!]

Ok so I just watched the most recent Resident Evil. Houston, I think we have a problem...those zombies can run...fast.

And they can climb.

Zombies aren't supposed to be able to do that...

Especially not climb....

I may have to rethink my survival plan.

Think I can have me one of them Milla Janovitch killer clones???

Oh, more far-fetched Zombie fiction. Just wait till the documentary "World War Z" comes out in 2010. Brad Pitt's producing it. That'll show you what they're really like. Hell, I could make a movie where the zombies could drive cars and assemble complex missiles, but that doesn't mean you need to prepare for such contingencies. Stick with what we know, man!

 

[EvilTOJ]

Evan! has a point. Besides, in Resident Evil 3 a mad scientist mutated the T virus to make the zombies super strong, just to go after Leela Multipass Besides that far-fetchedness, something else I didn't like about that movie was that the whole world turned into a dust bowl. Oh really? The entire world. A dust bowl. Just because humanity was going to extinction. Whatever. Oh yea, and you can get from Las Vegas to Alaska on one tank of helicopter fuel too, apparantly.

Cool...Thanks!

I hadn't heard they were making WWZ into a film...COOL!!!!
Great info on the film.

Except those under water zombies creep me out...I wonder if the lazer sharks would stand a chance.

Yeah I gues I should remember the fallaciousness of the RE series, especially since the chief bad ass zombie hunter goes off to fight the baddies wearing thigh high silk stockings.

I mean it's hot and all but leaving bits of flesh open just leaves one vulnerable to zombie bites...Leather bike chaps would be more practical and protective.

Especially since you can now get the neptune c sharksuit...which is pretty darn sexy on the right body.

The Neptunic C Suit made from steel mesh, high-tech fibre, titanium and hybrid laminates can withstand shark bites — but will make a $23,000 hole in your wallet.

Brooks himself could not have given better advice on a supplement to ZSG! Good find Orfy

 

[Orfy]

It could stop you being the guy in the middle.

Inside your moat, you're going to have to have a very large sound system blasting Micheal Jackson's "Thriller."

The zombie hordes will be too busy dancing to storm the "castle."

:rockin:

You owe me a new keyboard, as mine has been soaked with a refreshing cocktail. Ha!

 

[Bob]

Having never read the entire ZSG, I'm probably missing something here. But a stone building like a 12th-century Norman keep would work, especially if it's surrounded by a moat.

A 25' deep moat with a replenishable film of inflammable fluid, a la the flooded crypt in Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade.

Then, if the shambling corpses do manage to gain access to the near side of the moat, a 50-meter clear field of fire until they get to the base of the walls, a 50-meter clear field of fire full of pit traps.

Should they make the base of the walls, we resort to good old-fashioned boiling pitch and oil poured on them from the battlements. A few road flares tossed into the mix will make a burn the likes of which we haven't seen since they torched latrine pits in Vietnam. Those that don't burn get big rocks dropped on their heads. If they make a ramp or zombie pyramid large enough to gain the battlements, a handful of men with swords and axes can hold indefinitely.

Of course, there'll be swivel-guns mounted on the battlements, loaded with all manner of shrapnel, including chain-shot. (Did someone say, "Pirates!") I don't care if you need a head shot to kill 'em; if all they are is a fine red mist that's on fire, they ain't gettin' up. QED.

That's my plan, at least. Soon as I hit the Powerball!

[Drunkensatyr]

That is a great idea, except every one of the "solutions" takes resources. The name of the game is to stay safe and have lots of room for an escape if overtaken.

 

[Evan!]

Man, aside from the lack of resupply, this would be freakin' perfect for WWZ:

If you stock them with enough supplies...

 

[c.n.budz]

I just hope there's no zombie sharks...

 

[Drunkensatyr]

Nice find! mother nature can be a biotch but good shelter if you had a reliable method of transportation to and from one of those bad boys.

Except, can't the underwater one's climb???

Thos would be cool though, you could connect them with cat walks...fit them with solar panels, maybe even grow veggies on the top of them.

 

[blacklab]

Can zombies swim? For some reason I think that they can't, at least the classic version.

Not necessarily can they swim, but can they drown? If they can't drown they could just walk along the sea floor until they find some delicious brains. And i wonder what would happen if sharks and other sea creatures started feeding on the zombies in the water, would they become zombies? That could create a problem if you're on that rig and trying to feed yourself by fishing...

In WWZ they can walk along the bottom....

 

[Bob]

Anyone else get this mental picture?

Sure, it can be done.

I actually like the idea, Evan! (and I admit to actually liking the film). They can only climb the pilings one at a time. If you're a good shot, you can change their name to "Chum".

Lol, I have the google open in another window looking for the perfect Water World Picture.

Great minds!

no no, they totally couldnt swim, there flesh is falling off and stuff so i would think that with all those holes in them there is no way they could swim, but walking on the bottom is possible.....maybe......

And have you all taken the Zombie Survival Quiz to determine your readiness to survive the coming threat?

http://www.gotoquiz.com/zombie_survival_test_6

Bad news: I only scored 57%.

Good news: It woulda been about 10% prior to reading this thread. And now I know what I need to do to get prepared. Wait'll I tell the wife that my time on HBT may well have saved our family!

 

[Revvy]

Woot WooT!

An awsome and frustrating zombie game.

http://www.zombiegames.net/games/The-Last-Stand.html

I've only managed to make it through 5 days.....

Ooohhh here's a sequal.

http://www.zombiegames.net/games/The-Last-Stand-2.html

The sequal is much cooler, I made it through 3 towns, gathering a merry band of survivors along the way...

89% baby!

I get to doggy style the hot chick I saved.

Doesn't get much better than that.

 

[Drunkensatyr]

The unlikely climbing scenario could be easily remedied by welding plate steel on the legs to create a sort of squirrel deterrent. If the plate is larger than the arm length then it really wouldn't matter if they DID climb or not.

 

[Chris_Dog]

I suspect this may be a cultural thing, but I cannot for the life of me figure out who would look at an assault rifle and think "I really need to buy one of those". What sort of possible future event do people imagine that leads them to conclude that getting an assault rifle is the way to go?

I hope this doesn't come across as rude, as it's not meant that way. I'm just genuinely baffled by it.

They are for when the SHTF!

"You have a 78% chance of surviving a zombie outbreak

You will probably end up killing a few zombies and saving some innocent people, but you would die just before it was over"

son of a bitch.

 

[brauhaus]

son of a bitch.

"You have a 87% chance of surviving a zombie outbreak

You most definately will live through the zombie attack making you a lean-mean zombie killing machine. You would save the day and probably end up doggystyle with a hot chick you saved, later having a giant statue made in your honor. Jerk."

Wow, change your answer to the amount of guns and I'm a survivor! I need more guns!
