Obviously not hardcore zombie groupies as there has been no mention of "Shawn of the Dead"

Now as some of you American may be aware, there are other countries that also make films, I would recommend the English made 28 Days Later and Shaun Of The Dead.

If you miss something as blatantly obvious as that, what chance have you got of surviving the Zombie Armageddon?
Attention to detail is going to be a must if you don't want to end up having your liver slurped down by some loser.

Regarding "Zombie Panic"? I've played a couple of rounds now and must say that the odds seem stacked against the zombies. How do I know? Well, so far all I've played is a zombie and all that's happened is that I get shot, twatted over the head and generally killed. Even when I've managed to corner some guy he's instantly stoved my head in with a spanner or something. And wtf is with the jumping? Since when could zombies jump?
Not real enough. As everyone knows: Zombies lurch around and occasionally get to eat people. In "Zombie Panic" all I did was end up getting the crap kicked out of me by some 12 year old German.
As far as I'm concerned it's the PC game version of "Infestation" (only not as shit).

I also noticed someone raising the question of how to deal with your zombie-fied mother, which alludes to the hilarious: Shaun of the Dead.

People are obviously not reading this important thread carefully enough. Crying or Very sad

/\/\/\ Yes, and I also mentioned "Zombie Strippers" on a previous page. Crying or Very sad

I think I'll lock this for a while to give everyone some time catch up on their reading. This is serious stuff here and there is already a thread for postwhoring.

The next time any of you are at your local Blockbuster (or equivalent or preferred DVD rental house) take all the zombie films from the Horror section and place them all in the Documentary Films. It should be between Michael Moore's 'Bowling for Columbine' and Al Gore's 'We're All Fucked' Movie.

If you work in a DVD rental establishment... You should have known better. Don't try and stop anyone. This is going to save lives.

Seriously. I just moved them all in my local DVD store. Laughing

I'll plug 'Paranormal Activity'...I haven't bothered reading this thread, but it is a fun movie - scary, subtle possession. Can't beat that.

The alternate ending isn't quite as scary as the theater release.

Posted: Tue Jan 12, 2010 6:29 am

That was a demon or a ghost TS Laughing

This thread is about real stuff so zombies only.

Posted: Tue Jan 12, 2010 9:27 am

Demons and ghosts are real.
But they can easily be beaten by old Irish priests with a bit of holy water so there's no threat of a Demon Armageddon.
Perhaps a Demon Annoyance or a Demon Pain in The Ass. But not dangerous enough to cause an Armageddon like zombies.

Someone needs to unlock this as training is falling behind.

One good zombie movie (if you like the kind with humor and good looking ladies that can kick zombie ass) then I recommend

Quentin Tarantino's Planet terror It's funny and scary plus it has Bruce Willis in it.

This is Ima before zombie killing training

http://www.cinemaisdope.com/news/films/planetterror/pt-1024-1.jpg

End of Ima's Training, she will look like this

Anyway, watch planet terror. The first move "bullet proof" wasn't so great until the girls chased Kurt Russell in his "death proof" car and make him crash and cry like a little baby before the exacted their justice for killing Rose McGowan.

Death proof and planet terror are two different movies. Planet terror has the zombies it it. In Plant Terror Cherri (Rose McGowan) lives and send up replacing her M-16 with grenade launcher for a mini gun.

The chick with the shooty leg is cool, but she may have trouble at airport security checks.

I'll unlocked it so let the serious discussion of the walking dead continue.

Posted: Tue Jan 12, 2010 7:45 pm

So , we had discussions on weaponry , we had discussions on supplys , transportation , how to best kill a zombie.

What i haven't seen yet is discussions about where you will have your safe haven. Now alot of people are reluctant to share this information since most of those that read this topic will eventually turn into an undead and tell their new buddys.

We know some member is going to hide in a basement. I assume NN will sleep in his driving fortress off doom.

I personally think a basement is a bad idea. higher ground seems so much easier to defend.

I personally will destroy the stairs to the first floor of my house and use the first and second floor of my house as a base of operations.
I know the region like my back pocket, I can get up using rope (zombies don't climb) and i've got enough place for 5 people and supplies.
I also don't see the zombies climbing up my walls unless they make a ramp out of their own corpses. And if i'm really desperate for supplies , i can knock down one of my walls and walk into the grocery story next door via that way. Theres also a window the leads to the sunroof and i could probably rig a second (emergency) exit/entrance there.

Thanks for unlocking so us mere mortals can post again!

How can it be that no one has mentioned Zombieland? Extremely informative but by far the most violent movie that I've ever seen. I had no idea of that beforehand and I did get to see it for free. How?

Corporate Zombies‏

*Planned Activity*: 6pm Zombies gather in Quarantine zone, possible security breaches subjecting innocent bystanders to zombie infection and/or digestion.
*Containment Plan*: Lure the Undead to a free screening of the movie "Zombieland" at 7pm, Century 9 Theater. Placate their simple minds with Hollywood eye candy and the acting of Woody Harelson.

Zombieland was a comedy.

It was a good idea to go to Beverly Hills / Bel Air area. High fence made of brick with a strong iron gate. Generators present for electricity, well stocked with food and entertainment. More than likely weapons too. The only sucky part would be driving through LA to get there.

I'd say I'd head there but more then likely during the first few hours of the Armageddon the freeways would be blocked with disabled and abandoned vehicles. You can take surface streets but I think at one point you'd have to walk. Once there you have to find an abandoned mansion. But if you find a good one you could hold out for weeks until moving next door for another few weeks and so on.

Should probably make a list of celebrities we don't mind tossing out or are not likely to be home anyway.

Paris Hilton has a pad in Beverly Hills.

I'll have NN meet me there and I'll make him sleep in Paris' room. Then in the morning I'll tell him I didn't bother to change the sheets and that is why he smells like sweat, anger, and shame.

As opposed to his normal odour of gerbils and petroleum jelly.

I think that if we're going to turf a Hollywood celebrity out onto the streets, we should be careful - there is the possibility that they may have an innocent partner. We should only be prepared to take over the homes of those where we know every inhabitant is a cock-wallet.
Therefore, I'm nominating Tom Cruise and that Katie Whatsername to be evicted. I can't stand either of them and they pretty much deserve to get eaten.

On the other hand, why choose Hollywood at all? I believe that hitting the countryside would be safer due to the fact that less people live there and there are likely to be less infected.
Of course, we'll all be fucked if there are zombie cows.

Just as a matter of interest, I Want a Braincellhoff is now a fully fledged 100% risky zombie.

Most people who expect to survive will choose this option.

Raid the local armory on your way out of town in your 4x4 snow-plow equipped vehicle with bike rack and head to Maine or Vermont, find a secluded cabin and move in.

Then, once the property is ringed with claymores, settle in for a long, peaceful idyllic wait.....

....until your bacon-cooking help-mate begins motionlessly standing beside your sleeping form, staring at you, for hours and the mounted moose head and floor lamps begin laughing maniacally at your torment.

I propose that the Zombie Armageddon was really masterminded by demonic forces to trick us into fleeing to the so-called safety of "remote and secluded".

This is why we may want to consider fleeing to a vegetarian commune, instead. Afterall, what do we have to fear from vegetarian zombies?

Also, while I agree that Shaun of the Dead is a great, eye-opening and educational film, I would suggest the following fact-based documentaries for further enlightenment. They have helped shaped me into the man I am today.

The Green Berets
Walking Tall (1973)
The Evil Dead

All valid points, including Slightly's shared concern for zombie cows. In Australia we also suffer the potential threat of zombie Kangaroos. Big Red's can grow up to 2m (6ft 7in) in height leap 9m (30ft) in a single bounce.

The best place to hold out is a isolated mining operation or quarry. Eventually your presence will draw the undead masses and you'll need a place to defend and dispose of these hell spawn. These places provide you with a great resource for machinery and equipment. Fuel depots, generators and metal fabrication tools. They are completely self sufficient. You are able to move large fortified walls, construct sniper towers and barricades. You will also have the opportunity to construct your Rolling Fortress of Doom. With one of these and multiple trailer hitched fuel carriers, you can roll all over the place flattening entire hordes without a worry. Solid steel reinforced tyres can't go flat. Oh the options this provides.

Plus you will also have large earth moving equipment to pick up and/or push them into diesel filled mining pits for safe disposal. Plus mining operations keep vast quantities of high explosives.

For supplies you can raid smaller towns with larger vehicles to haul more gear. This avoids multiple trips into zombie populated areas.

I only 'think big' because of the threat of giant zombie kangaroos.

Thank you for correcting my oversight on the previously mentioned movies (even though I have a feeling post edits were placed to make me feel foolish, oops zombie paranoia!).

I have an idea that might work in strategies for safe-havens. Zombies are essentially re-animated meat. They have no body temp other than room temp. This would mean they freeze like all other meat (tes I know ice is their enemy). Using this strategem North would be optimal for rapid response.

Another avenue, warmth causes rapid putrification and proliferation of remains eating insects. In a warmer climate, the duration of viable re-animation for zombies would be significantly reduced. They would simply decay far too much to be a threat rapidly, especially in tropical climates.

^ Well we should be safe round here for a while, the STV weather man has predicted "wintery precipitation"

As for zombie cows and kangaroos, it's entirely possible
Dont forget that documentary smuggled out of New Zealand Black Sheep

I think we are seeing only the bad sides of a zombie invasion. We have to remember the upside!

Edit: I think it's too wide. Here's the link: http://www.explosm.net/db/files/Comics/Kris/easter3.png

Me and 3 friends have already studies Black sheep.
It was... Odd and funny.

My how this thread has grown. I finally got through all 11 pages of instruction. I am grateful for all of the tips and suggestions for survival.

I thought I had learned all I needed to about surviving zombie attacks way, way back when watched The Omega Man

I was particularly disturbed when I saw that lotta was not posting in this thread. I wondered what happened to her, she I found this by running my curser over her avatar:

Edited to add "The" in the movie name, and a link to the movie and to say, that I remembered them as Zombies. Now I learn that technically they were not zombies, though they were infected with some horrible virus. Ahhh well, another childhood belief crushed. Is The Rock really the Tooth Fairy or was that a misunderstanding too?

Posted: Thu Jan 14, 2010 12:58 am

Great idea NN. I dare an large horde of zombies to try and push that truck over.

The problem with looting TS is you and everyone else will be doing it. You not only have to fight the dead but the living too. Once you load up your vehicle or whatever, someone who just got their will figure it easier just to take your stuff then loot himself. If he has more people and guns then... well. (in the UK if he has more people and tennis rackets then... well)

So it's best to have weapons, food, water, and meds before. Once things slow down (with the living that is) you can venture out and try to find something that wasn't picked clean. Although I will acknowledge, a zombie Armageddon might not allow people to riot and mass loot.

How can it be looting if everyone but a few are dead?

I do agree with stockpiling, though....that is why I'm keeping track of everyone that has done that work for me. Very Happy

I've been stockpiling: I've got bacon and some slutty boots, apparently. I'll have spares of the boots too, because of the shooty leg thing. Let me know if anyone wants them.
