For some reason, I've spent a lot of my time daydreaming about the implications of a zombie apocalypse, a la Left 4 Dead or 28 Days Later or The Stand (plus zombies, of course). So what would you all do, assuming you'd be at home when The Sickness strikes? Assuming you'd survive, that is...I'd be in Philly so of course I'd have to get out of the city right away... wouldn't mind moving to the shore and live on the beach. Weapon of choice would probably be a .22 for the availability of ammo. Get a nice one with a scope and pick off zombies from rooftops, use a 12 gauge shotty for indoors.Of course, I'd have a tank and an ice cream truck in my driveway :doom:

Become an expert zombie hunter! I'm from Texas so it would work XD and of course get a suit of knight armor so the zombies couldn't infect me and be a BAMF in general and rescue people also and just try to make the best of it by saying cheesy one liners like..........*SMASHES A ZOMBIES HEAD* *SAYS OHHHHH YEAHHHHH LIKE THE KOOL-AID GUY* :)And my weapons of choice would be an M4SOPMOD and just aboutl any attachments I could find for it and of course I'm going to have some Kukris and an M1014 shotgun or an AA-12 Shotgun or I'd settle for and old 12 gauge and for a back up I'd have either an SMG like the P90 or a handgun like the M9........Just because it's a smaller gun doesn't mean it does less damage with headshots lol.................As you see I've had a little bit of time to think about it lol and I could only pray they are a mixture of Left 4 Dead zombies and Resident Evil. The slow moving from Resident Evil and the immune part from Left 4 Dead and I'd also hope to kill all the zombies in the world and repopulate it :)

I would find my friends, who are all good shots, and then move to the Bahamas. There arn't that many zombies their and I'm sure we could take them.P.S. This is assuming I am not against 28 weeks later zombies. That situation involves killing myself and anyone else I see. That would be the best corse of action to stem back the eventual exstinction.

If I were in a zombie apocalypse and death was inevitable, I think what I'd want to do would be Tom from that Jonathan Coulton song, if only because he seems to be pretty self-aware for a zombie.Otherwise, do you see it going well? How many characters have ever made it through a zombie holocaust intact?

If you can't beat them, join them! ..then kill them when they least expect it :( But let's be honest, how long could you live on your own before you became paranoid? :) I would probably kill myself, or feed my self to the zombies, after a few years.. :o

Well, I would need to have a good bladed weapon... then I would need some kind of firearm for long range stuff. Bladed weapons don't need ammo, so I would probably have to find a place where I could rest up and find other people. Someplace where I could disable the stairs would likely be best. Even better than that would be a boat of some kind, since I don't think zombies can swim. If it seems that I am going to die, I would rather kill myself than become a zombie.

I would gather up a shotgun, some ammo, and duel katanas. Then, I would go around, raiding stores for supplies, and finding survivors.

Die? Hyper Die? ^_^ I'd get together as many survivors as I could first of all.Then first stop gun/hunting stores to soldier up.Next stop outdoor/camping supply store.After that I guess we'd find grocery store(s) to raid for grub then find a nice defensible location to hold up in.Hmm...then die. :gs: Well there are books on the subject, maybe I should study up. You know, just in case...Wait, what am I saying!? Maybe? of course I should, the zombie apocalypse is inevitable! :)

Escape with my family or whoever close to me at the moment and find some sort of shelter, but not before finding weapons. I'd get a shotgun, fire axe, a knife or dagger and a nice power handgun known as the Magnum. Basically, a revolver. If I can set up a team or join one, I'm going buck wild and kill anything these eyes of mine see. Zombies, of course, not my allies.

Imagine an entire 18-wheeler decked out with every kind of gun, cannon, flamethrower and whatever else you could need to fight of the zombie hoard. Of course it also might need armor on it to defend from any other survivors who don't like the idea of sharing. The trailer would have an entire armory in it complete with shot guns, long range rifles, etc.

If said event would happen I have thought of a plan. First off, I prepare my own things from my house.Second, Gather Food and Medicine at minor stores that are not Walmart or other big companies.Third, gather games and systems because honestly, I know I would, though if necessary I will abandon them so I am not slowed.Fourth, Find one of those Barred off Pawnshops.Five, Turn it into my Base of Operations.Six, Recruit someone else, hopefully one I can trust.Seven, Have Said person or I go scavenging for things, primarily looking for a generator.Eight, Procure Vehicles, since many will be crashed and broken, which is all I need.Nine, Use the vehicles to create a wall around the pawnshop, stacking cars when able.Ten, Fill insides of most of the cars with Concrete, to prevent Zombies from swarming in through all of them.Eleven, Recruit more people.Twelve, Go to a Home Improvement store, or whatever Lowe's would be classified as, and procure Soil seeds and plants that grow food.Thirteen, start up a garden.Fourteen, gather more resources, more generators, and start expanding the base, which now might be a colony.Fifteen, Build up four watch towers.Sixteen, will be a "To Be Continued" for now.

I'd probably go nuts. But I would also prepare my home and have guns and lots of ammo with me. And a little assisstance.

a 22 doesn't have any stopping power so i don't think it would do anything to a zombie at all. a 22 shot can only puncture a body and shred up inner organs, which would prob do nothing to a zombie. however the shotty will mosdef take care of a zombie, based on the zombie-killing mechanics of movies and novels.and in regards to the topic question, i would fight till the end, jus for the hell of it. i mean, life would be pretty pointless in a zombie apocalypse anyway, and i'm going to inevitably die, so why not have fun and live out the rest of my life like i'm in a video game or action-packed movie, except with real pain >.<

i would find weapons from maigical bunkers at every city and relive all of my favorite movies and quotes. or i'll just use a cheat code and find a way to nuke em all, but then i'd die from radiation anyhow. actually i'll search for other survivors then. more noble, but still badass action waiting to happen

Bladed weapons are a horrible idea because they require you to get up close and personal with the zombie most likely exposing you to the plague. your best bet is definitely a long range gun and an effective plan to get you to an isolated enough to not have been affected, but that also has enough resources for you to survive long enough for the zombies to starve (assuming they need to eat brains to stay alive)

Well it depends on the type of zombie explanation. Sometimes it is a case of air disease where you may be immune or a carrier yourself. Sometimes through specific contact of blood or bite. Now, yes, Bladed weapons are generally a bad idea because of the blood splatter, though I would recommend heating the blade so that it would seal the wound to prevent or just a baseball bat, but Melee is still a preferred course of action. You have to remember the fact that Guns create a lot of noise and that Zombies, which are usually run by pure instinct, will go towards the noise and will more than likely end up in getting you swarmed. There is the use of Bow weapons which is much quieter, much quieter, than guns and making arrows is an easier task, however, in close ranged combat it isn't very effective.And no, Zombies do not rely on "Brains" as the "Brains" are more of a dessert to a zombie's common Flesh meal. They may also eat a certain degree of rotten meats, though the effects against them are unknown and we are still unsure as to why they do not eat themselves(In which case I just mean other Zombies.)

I'd run and hid from the zombies. I've had dreams kind of like this before, except I could fly in them <3
