I'd say based on what I've seen in movies a zombie apocalypse is an inevitability. So I'm wondering, when that impending day arrives, what will be your plan of action? Try to get to a small island? Barricade yourself in a mall? Or just try to duke it out amongst the dead .. a renegade of sorts.
 
Thread of the Year!

Edit- Whoops, forgot the Worst at the beginning of my post.

Changed my mind, I think I like this thread actually.
 
If you go in the joke section at Borders there is actually a full blown book about this very subject, i've flipped through it and it did its job, I was laughing pretty hard because dammit it made sense. Featured everything from what buildings to look for to what type of car to steal. Oh and who to kill in your party for being useless.

I've got it actually. Read it cover to cover, its pretty funny actually and yet it has a very serious tone to it.

Here it is
 
[quote name='rodeojones903']Barricade up in a jail. :D[/QUOTE]

Ahh but you have to be careful because if the prisoners have been infected you'll be in worse shape. If the prisoners are gone though its a great place to go because of their ability to be self-sufficient.

Its all covered in the book.

That would be my plan as well.. I'd be Zombie Hunter Extraordinaire.
 
While reading World War Z which basically states this, I was thinking over different ways to take over my local Costco and how to get in, and I've found a couple ways.

I dont know what it is...but i LOVE anything to do with zombies. They are all time fav genre to watch. I will watch the worst zombie movie over the grammy award winner anyday of the week.

I dont really know why...it has something to do with survial horror. I just love me some survial horror.


Also...I have that book to...i liked the first part it was great but once it started going into the "documented" zombie outbreaks that seem to be the last 50 pages of the book i thought it was rather stupid.

But the first 98% of the book is very very well worth it if you are a zombie fan.

EDIT: In fact there is a couple zombie MMORPG that i play.

Urban Dead.
Dead Awaken.

Check into them if you would like. They are web based so they are not to high tech but i think they are very fun.

Amazing Book, I've got that and World War Z. Max Brooks is a god.

To answer the OP's question, I would take control of a Wal-Mart or Target so I have food and entertainment. I would also carry a machete with me because #4 on the top 10 lessons for surviving a zombie attack is "Blades don't need reloading."

Have you read Dead Rising by any chance? Its the first "zombie" book I've read and I thought it was awesome. Plus its kinda interesting for me that the characters in it travel right past my house based on the descriptions of the routes they're on.

No....havent heard of a book called dead rising, though i am very interested in it. Got a link by any chance?
 
dude ive been thinking on this for a while and i agree a zombie apocalypse will happen. im going to hit up a few gun stores and pawn shops around my way to get enough guns and ammo and then stop at a few other stores for the essentials like a hand crank radio or 2, batteries, as many solar powered items as i can find, get plenty of sturdy boots and clothes as well as witer proof items.


get as many can openers as i can find as well as food items that wont perish quickly. a few fishing poles and hooks and fishing related items. find a couple of gps systems as well as satellite phones and if i can ill go find as many of my relatives as i can and take them with me to the marina where i plan on stealing a boat or 2 and head out to sea. i figure ill either locate an island where we can hold up till it all washes over or well head to the nearest military air craft carrier we can find because those babies are nuclear powered and loaded with food and trained soldiers so wed be pretty safe there.

i figure youve got roughly a 2 to 3 week period where getting somewhere safe wont be too difficult and there will still be enough law and order intact that looters and militias wont be a problem. and the deads numbers wont be too great . id say if you live in a big city youve got about a week to get the hell out of where you are.
 
I'm hoping when the zombie apocalypse occurs it will be like Dawn of the Dead and not like 28 Days. The zombies in that movie moved with a purpose and at top speeds.
 
If a zombie outbreak were to occur I see myself doing one of two scenarios:

1. zombie-proofing my house (not all that hard to do once you destroy the stairs, as advised in The Zombie Survival Guide; great book, by the way) and seeing how it goes from there

2. still having to go to work since my company doesn't shut down for anything and then taking phone calls from zombie customers complaining that their internet connection doesn't work or is slow, despite all the speed tests and diagnostics saying otherwise

exactly

if they were DotD type i would just drive around casually immolating them with a flamethrower and laughing, then posting the vid on my YouTube zombie channel

if they were fast zombies i would probably just go ahead and succumb to the zombie virus and join the apolcalypse

I am with you. If its DotD type i will just start cracking heads as i went along.

But if its 28 days later type i will just try to get me as much zombie pussy as i can because i know my ingorant ass will get caught.
 
[quote name='musha666']Damn. Thought this was going to be a thread about the band Zombie Apocalypse.[/QUOTE]
Damn, me too!
We should start a Zombie Apocalypse thread
This is a spark of life...
 
You may find the Zombie Survival Guide to be funny, but its not. The Zombie Apocalypse is real and it will happen. Hope your ready, because I am. My girlfriend and I have a safety plan all set up for this situation.
The Zombie Survival Guide is my "Bible". So I guess if its okay to laugh at my bible, then you will have no problem with me laughing at your "holy bible".

yeah... yeah...

i forgot to factor in zombie pussy

that's some sweet undead lovin!
 
[quote name='The Crotch']I live in the middle of nowhere, so I should be pretty safe from zombies. There is a nearby graveyard, but it's so old that the corpses it holds should be no threat. Most zombies would probably freeze to death before they ever reached me.

Me = Winner[/quote]

You are far too naive, you will be one of the first to die.
 
[quote name='The Crotch']Fine, then. I'll put a ladder up to my house, climb up, and pull the ladder up with me. I'll then go to the second story, and wait there with multiple rifles and a bunch of food.

Are you overly-complex-planners fucking happy?[/quote]

The guns will eventually run out of ammo, you might want to abide by rule #4 "Blades don't need reloading" and take a sword or machete with you. I also hope you brought quite a bit of food.

Forget multiple rifles. Have an AK or a Mosin Nagant. Ammo for both is quite plentiful, and they're a snap to maintain in less than ideal conditions.

And forget blades, unless it's a fireaxe or something. They'll surround your ass before you can do any crazy animu shit to try to kill off a group of 'em.
 
[quote name='ChaoticClimax']You are far too naive, you will be one of the first to die.[/QUOTE]

agree

doesn't pretty much EVERY zombie movie start out at a remote graveyard location with a house located near by, occupied by someone who feels totally confident that they aren't in danger... right before their brain gets eaten?

yes

yes it does
 
[quote name='The Crotch']3) The graveyard near my house hasn't been used in about one hundred years. Unless they mummified the guys in there, I won't have any problems.[/QUOTE]

You ever try to dig yourself out from under six feet of packed soil? No risk of zombies coming up from underground like in Return of the Living Dead... you only have to worry about the fresh ones... the thousands and thousands and thousands of fresh ones.

[quote name='The Crotch']5) If you go to loot a mall, you're just going to run into another thousand people with the same idea. It won't work.[/QUOTE]

Indeed. Shopping mall is the obvious choice, thereby making it the *worst* choice. You said your town has about 1,000 people in it. That may be too many still. Me, I'd get in my truck and get the fuck out of populated areas. In a real zombie apocalypse, people are even more dangerous than the zombies.

True dat man

My plan would be to get together with my friends and barricade the nearby elementary school after looting wal-mart and the grocery stores.
 
its all about being able to be in a secure place with the ability to make fresh water and grow crops. Practice that and you will be an asset to any survival community
 
[quote name='The Crotch']I should have been clearer - I live near a town of 1000. I'm far enough outside that I don't have to worry about the hordes of looters.[/QUOTE]

Let's not forget about the roving biker gangs a la Dawn of the Dead. They'll get ya, oh yes they will.

I'm talkin' about a one-room-shack in the middle of literally nowhere style of getting the hell out of town. Gotta have a shortwave radio with a hand-crank generator, too, so you can get the creepy international disaster reports and listen in horror as they drop out one by one over time.

Being way out in nowheresville also buffers you from gov't strikes on populated areas in an effort to quell the epidemic. The biggest challenge then is food and water.

Fact of the matter is, there aren't a lot of great options when it comes to surviviing a zombie apocalypse. It's their overwhelming numbers and your own fatigue that will be your demise. People stuck in big cities with no transportation may as well just kill themselves early on to spare themselves the inevitable horror.

Fantastic book. I grabbed this a few weeks ago. A good read.
 
Austin happens to have a Sam's Club and Best Buy right next to each other, along with an Applebee's.
There's also a Costco next to an Academy.

Both of those would provide ample entertainment, weaponry (maybe not sam's club), and food.

the question is: is it necrophilia?

also, my dad works in construction, so I've got a garage full of fun and useful tools, a construction van, and a mysterious machete-like sword that my dad found in an old house he renovated.

Add to that my lacrosse equipment, and a good plan (hold up in Target), and Im pretty set for the zombie apocalypse
 
While zombies are scary as fuck, id be more worried about other people. I mean picture Black Friday times a 10000. Matter of life and death. The things people will do to live. Even if you live in the middle of nowhere you still gotta contend with people who will do anything to survive. And on top of that its very horrifying to think of what would happen to pretty much all girls/women out there espicially if your young and good looking. For me if it came down to full blown apocolaypse and no hope for survival, id just do my self in.
