NO!

Have you seen the Zombie gator in the first Resident Evil Playstation game? Not a good idea to mix zombies and large reptiles

All of these tactics would seem to require you to be in a nearly constant state of alert and ready for combat. Wouldn't some form of passive defense be a little less nerve racking? Blowing heads off zombies would get a bit tedious after a while. How about the electrified fence they used to keep the dinosaurs penned up in Jurassic Park? Then you could just sit back, relax and watch all your Tivoed episodes of CSI. Or just go into a missile silo in North Dakota. Or fly to an island ...

if i were in colorado, I'd make a B-line for Hunter Thompson's armored ranch... and then try to convince him that I'm not worth shooting.

All U boyz wana do is Kill Zombies.....What I wanted to do was to be nice to them by offering them a drink and a few more chips to play...Wouldn't this be a much nicer world if we all tried to get along?

It really would be nicer. But even if we offered to take them to the buffet, there are no buffets that offer human flesh and brain tissue.

No, it's just better to flame them and/or cut off their heads.

Yeah Tabs: they like two-armed bandits, not one-armed bandits.

. first of all, trapping yourself in a stationary fortress doesnt work, sooner or later you run out of food/ammo and you have to get out to get more....but by then you're completely surrounded and as soon as you get out, there are hundreds, if not thousands of zombies coming at you, attacking you from every side..

come to think of it, some of you just have no imagination.see next post.

Medusa's head - instant stonification....then let the grenades fly.

dd74 · 09-10-2004, 11:33 AM

Medusa I'd keep around. When fighting zombies, one's frustration level rises, so any and all available females are a plus - within reason.

Medusa? Her powers to turn things to stone comes from her eyes, right? Well, like Sinatra says, "You don't -- the face, do you? Put a bag over her head and do your business!"

Thats why the first order of business is to get a helicopter. Second is to setup a fortess at a air traffic control tower. Plenty of room to see them coming and gas for the helly.

I was thinking. If everyone in the world turned into a zombie except you, those first couple of years would be pretty crazy. Imagine trying to get out of your town or to a gun without running into someone. Hope you guys are good with hand to hand combat.

I was watching the making of Res. Evil 2 last night. Someone asked why the zombies move so slow. It was described that they move slow to conserve energy so the can unleash it all at once when they get close enough to there prey. Super strength and speed.

Man, I'm gonna' hurl...

Aha !! The Omega Man !! I saw that as a kid and it scared the CRAP out of me - mucho ten year old nightmare paranoia stuff (one of my biggest fears as a kid was to have the whole world suddenly turn against me). I've been trying to recall the title for over a decade. Thanks !!

Now as for Zombies, I'd say first forget that they are zombies. For instance, if you can set yourself up in a location or situation where even the Marine Special Forces couldn't get you, then I think the Zombies would be SOL. For this kind of strategy, I think we can look to our own governments for answers. As an example, how has the US government planned for a post-apacalyptic world? Well, they built underground bunkers and missile silos with one massively protected entrance and stocked them with years worth of food, etc. Granted you don't get to snipe zombies unless you want to set up some sort of predator drone remote control thingie. And then since you can't really leave the fortress to refuel, you'd want one that was solar powered. But you would be pretty well protected.

But this leads to another question. How long should we assume that zombies are going to be alive and roaming the countryside? If it will only be, say, 28 days, then the missile silo would be perfect. You can spend a month catching up on all of those missed episodes of "Sex in The City" (oops, I meant to say "Monster Garage") and then emerge to a world with FAR less traffic on the parkway. But if the zombies are going to be long-lived or maybe reproduce, then supplies are definitely going to be a problem no matter what approach you take. Some ancient fortresses surrounded farm land (i.e. Constantinople) and water supplies so they could withstand a siege for years. But it takes a lot of people to defend such a thing. And some of those people are just BOUND to be *********s which could make the whole zombie defense thing a real drag.

"The Serpent and the Rainbow".....is based upon a true story...It's the poison from the Puffer Fish that mimics death....

Since we're making this up ... I'm going with some futuristic choices.

* Colonial Marine pulse rifle and lots of ammo for my standard weapon - become a really good shot and you'll pop zombie heads right off. The built in grenade launcher would come in handy too for knocking packs of zombies down.

* Lightsaber for those close quarter skirmishes - split 'em in two or cut off some appendages to slow them down. Lightweight and easy to carry. Useful for melting things and starting fires too - better than a Swiss Army knife.

* Predator thowing disc just for fun - while I'm well protected I'll just tease the zombies by cutting them up from a safe distance. Compact and lightweight to carry. Seems like one would be easy to get - the Predators are always dropping them or giving them away.

* Colonial Marine APC for transport - roomy, fast and hard to get into if zombies piled on. That big gun on top might come in handy too. Gotta watch the transaxle when crashing thru walls/doors though.

* BFG9000 - when my back is up against the wall and the zombies are pushing down on me, fire straight ahead and clear the way.

* Phaser set on max - just vaporize the zombies. When I'm bored or tired of killing zombies and seeing the gore (it's gotta get old sometime), I'll just disintegrate them and not worry about it.

* Predator wrist-pack thermonuclear bomb - when the end is near and there's no way out, I ain't gonna be no zombie ... I'M TAKIN 'EM WITH ME!

Keep moving and scrounge for food, water and supplies.

Wanna know what that's like -- ask Tabby.

Jeez, JC, now you've got zombies reproducing? Hell, as long as you continue to make sweet love as a zombie, I might not resist it so much.

project 935 -- hey, we're trying to keep this in the realm of what could really happen, man.
