Where would you go if Zombies attacked?

[Izor]

I was going more off the new age zombies like in Dawn of the Dead or 28 Days Later.

Zombies walking is old school.

turn this into an irl game of counterstrike. BOOM HEADSHOT

You can get about 25 years on the amount of uranium the newer carriers are packing.

We need to just invent lightsabers already so we don't have to worry about ammo when fighting, and can also use them as a field cauterization tool.

Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. Get it. Memorize it. Survive the zombies.

edit: anyone who thinks that

- Flamethrowers are a good idea
- walmarts are good hiding spots
- traveling in large groups = safety

are going to DIE.

would you really want to live 25, 30 years after the world has officially ended?

[Displaced]

yes, I could masturbate in peace...

Fuck, we just need to invent them because they are bad-ass. Who cares if there are zombies attacking if you have a light saber. I mean we need to direct some of that stimulus money towards light saber research, pronto!

ok in all honesty, now that i am done spouting my open field bs and contemplating how fortifiable a stadium is, this is probably what I would do. I would outlast the zombies. I know what some of you are thinking: zombies are undead....they don't just die. Well think about it logically, they are reanimated corpses. Over time the muscles will deteriorate at a far more rapid rate than that of a regular human being. Also it is my understanding that they need to feed in order to remain functional. Well those things will run out of people to feed on within probably a year. So my idea would be to gather copious quantities of food and blankets. Some minimal protection in terms of guns, but probably some blunt objects shaun of the dead style. Throw that shit in my roommates truck, grab my roommate and my girlfriend, have my girlfriend (she's an LA driver....holy shit is it scary....plus she is azn and we will likely plow a few zombies on the way) drive us up into snoqualmie pass or up into the mountains somewhere. We might need some other items such as camping equipment, but it is rather easy to find cabins up there and just stay there. That is probably the best shot I have from my current location. Zombies will have a tough time traveling the rough terrain and there are chances that their joints will be frozen stiff and they will be rendered immobile. Outlast and survive, that's the name of the game imo.

Hmm...

Zombie thread comes back from the dead :grin:


Anyway...
It was my understanding that zombies were slow and lumbering for one or both of these reasons:

a. They're stupid as hell.
b. Rotting flesh doesn't allow for quick movement.

So traditional zombies don't run without running the risk of losing the use of their legs via ankle/knee breakages.

I understand 28 days/weeks later introduced the running style of zombie BUT ignoring that I've come to the conclusion zombie birds wouldn't be a problem. Could they really flap their wings hard/fast enough based on the traditional zombie ideal?

So my vote goes to nomadic - lorry - supply gathering - yacht/boats - offshore rigs FTW

what I never understood is how a zombie dies when you shoot it in the head, considering its already dead to begin with? If its flesh is already rotting away and its a mindless zombie, whats shooting it in the head going to change? Its brain is already dead anyway. On top of that, would a body with no brain (blown up or something) not turn into a zombie or something? It just makes no sense. Zombies are not sentient beings, so what makes its head so special at that point? Just some food for thought to pick your brain (pun intended).
