I'd make a lousy L4D survivor.

[teh_Canape]

what's special about anyone on here?

well...

I know how to manipulate quite a bunch of weapons

also, I can cook, that's an extra point for me, right?

but, of course, if a zombie apocalypse is bound to happen, I'd like to have MarineMike on my side

and Lisa.... you know XD

You - could - always be in massive luck and have yourself evacuated by the military, or some rich guy with enough resources to help poor shits like us just because the bloke feels like it, and have already prepared some Rapture-utopia.

Again, massive luck.

I myself would fight for my dear life and just swallow the situation, albeit it's all lamentation and misery. Wouldn't guarantee survival, but it's a living.

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.

 

[OreWaUsopp]

Some of them are crazy, I'd fear getting shot by survivors any time I was outside. Not even on purpose, just shot thinking I was a Zed.

 

[latenightapplepie]

I'd first try to survive without doing much by hiding in an attic or some such. As soon as there was a imminent threat of being eaten and turned, I would really most likely take the easy way out.

 

[Mrpersonface]

L4D zombies arent too smart (see pipebomb) Maybe try killing a few and wearing bits of them to blend in.

 

[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.

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...

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

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.
