I'd make a lousy L4D survivor.

[Addendum_Forthcoming]

Wouldn't everybody? That being said I'd probably be the first to go in a cinematic style. Mainly because if somebody said we should travel in a dark underground tunnel to get across town, I'd be the first to say "that's a fucking stupid suggestion" and for the sake of people going into the tunnel my character's suggestion we should travel above ground would be quickly dashed aside as a zombie drops ontop of me and tears out my throat as a horde begins to round the corner ... conspicuously unheard of until that very moment.

I'm not rich but I do love my guns, and I have a few thousand rounds to go with them and a shotgun shell re-loader, several lbs of powder/boxes of empty shells/bags of shot etc.

Just remember you have a lot of "survivalists" in this country that think theyre getting prepared for a gov't takeover or invasion or something, that really dont know WTF they're even doing. Take theyre shit and run.

Do you ever get the feeling that The States is not the most 'stable' of countries to remain in when panic, chaos and mass-slaughter breaks out?

It's a joke, but still...

 

[sharpe95th]

Don't feel too bad about being a rubbish left 4 dead survivor, so was Rochelle but that didn't stop her from making it in the game.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

Yeah when you think about it, L4D enemies arn't like your usual Zombie games, what with the special infected and the TANKS! The average person wouldn't survive long in that situation, since we don't have health bars.

Maybe, but you could at least survive being hit a couple times. Everyone would be fucked if there were the 28 Days Later zombies.

Is there really much of a difference between L4D Zombies and 28 Days Zombies? They both run fast and would probably do around the same damage.

but with 28 days later, even scratching yourself, or getting a little bit of blood in your eye, mouth, ear, a cut, under a finger nail will infect you.

Sorry, the average person wouldn't survive long in any zombie situation. I find it cute that people on here even have zombie plans, I mean, if the majority of the world couldn't survive the zombies, what's special about anyone on here?

It's all about being prepared man! The general populus has no idea what to expect out of a zombie-apocalypse situation, whereas any nerd with vast internet knowledge, high cholesterol and in bad physical shape, would have no trouble surviving the frenzy of the undead! It's all because we have a plan, man!

Wait.. I guess I see your point!

 

[iLikeHippos]

Mine is a painless death, tho. And ensures I don't rise to hunt others.

I'm in luck that I live in Sweden than. All those half-naked zombies will freeze as soon as the leaves hits the ground. (That would be Autumn, to Winter...) Meaning, there's no need dispose of yourself up here. Just wait it out, and everything will be all right.

At least, that's the theory. Also is this paragraph below.
<spoiler=Extra Information about Swedens natural zombie-infestation resistance>You see, it's very frikkin' cold up here, and without the proper clothes and remaining inside at night to catch your warmth, you'll freeze all right. You'll freeze goo'.
Not to mention dead people have a very bad body temperature.
Unless they're infected. Than they will still grow cold, catch hypothermia and eventually freeze to death.
All that remains at that point are the zombies who remained indoors lol.

yeah but if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Go the Scouts way and BE PREPARED

 

[OreWaUsopp]

I just keep getting the mental image, mid Zombie Apocalypse - !The Witch Has Startled Chuck Norris!

 

[OreWaUsopp]

Least it's not Quarantine. Some change instantly, the little girl was sick for days, then oops, zombie!

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

I'm pretty sure everyone incapable of knocking back dozens of people with the sweep of a rifle butt would make a crappy L4D survivor.

Just sayin'.

 

[OreWaUsopp]

And being healed to self sufficiency from death's door after a few seconds attention with a hand held med kit.

 

[Floppertje]

hmm.... I'd be toast in L4D, but I don't think I'd do too poorly in a real life post-apocalyptic scenario, I think I'd be able to keep a cool head. Of course I'd have to survive the apocalypse first...

Oh I agree, but alot of people are under trained and got what little knowledge they have from idiots like Glenn Beck/Rush Limbaugh/ etc. In any extreme most people who think they are prepared are not. Though in a zombie apocalypse I'd rather be in a country where firearms out number people 10-1. Makes for scrounging way easier. Cuz lets face it most of people are gonna be dead anyways. That why the U.K. got so fucked up in 28 days later. No way to defend from zombies like that. We wouldve at least put a shit ton of them down.

 

[OreWaUsopp]

Guns always seem to jam or run out in the worst dramatic moment.

 

[OreWaUsopp]

Unless you know you're a primary main character ,you're screwed, and that only helps in movies.

 

[MrGalactus]

Does that mean you'd make an awesome zombie?

Yeah, but if any of a 28 Days Later zombie's fluids get into your system, you get zombified instantly.

 

[LogicNProportion]

People are dumb.

1. Go to northern point in world, where zombie bodies will freeze and die.
2. Go into gigantic warehouse supermarket
3. Wait it out, maybe watch the millions of DVDs or play video games in the electronics department, or rig traps for other survivors who have stumbled upon your utopia. YOU ARE KING!

If zombies were real, their rotting bodies would not be able to move fast enough to break safety glass. They are also too stupid to open doors.

Chances are I'd try and play 'White Knight' if a zombie apocalypse occurred, helping others and all that. But the above plan is a concrete one.

 

[Aptspire]

I'd do like survival modes...
I'd find a normally unreachable spot XD

 

[Micklet]

You might thing that now, but you would be very suprised at what you would do should the situation actually happen. The impulse to survive at all costs is very strong and modern life does not afford us situations where we get to experience this. I'm pretty sure I couldn't shoot someone knowingly. It would just be too hard, too much would flash through my head. But if it was a do or die situation, I have no idea how I would act. I'd imagine it would be a lot easier. So I reckon the feelings you have about just biting the bullet would diminish pretty quickly should you be faced with an actual Z day scenario.
