Since theres more people in my city than me, I would hole up in a wal-mart (guns, appliances, food, etc) get some uninfected together and divise a plan to get out of the city alive and find an uninfected one. Slim chance but worth it. Also this is one thing I liked about Dead Rising it allowed you to use pretty much everything, had zombies that although too many of them were more of an obstacle, the real threats were other humans, we don't know how the human mind may work in this situation, Capcom experimented with this theory. So pretty much hold out, try to get out alive with as many sane uninfected people as possible, and if I am S.O.L. I'll make sure to make an explosive to take as much of the bastards down with me. So with this I'll give it my best shot, of course the human mind also has this little self-preservation which could fuck with my plan.

I'd definitely try to survive (though I wouldn't hold up but rather try to move away from populated areas).
If I was bitten, I'd probably kill myself before turning.
But I wouldn't give up without at least trying.

grabbing a suit of chainmail, and a suit of armour, with a slew of swords and other bladed weapons, and fight everyday, till I'm overwhelmed.

I'd certainly try. But you can only survive in an apocalyptic situation for so long.

Seeing from all the other zombie related threads, most of the people here will give you some elaborate plan on how they will get a bunch of guns and hold up in some building and become some silly zombie killer. Truthfully, most will be cowering in their homes praying the shit storm doesn't hit.
you just summed up my zombie plan. though I will also put many heavy objects on the balcony above my door in case of attack.

Being a diabetic, I'd be royally fucked in a zombie apocalypse, but I would definitely take out as many shambling things as I could.
Seems like it might be fun for a while.
Well, here is my task for you, before standard insulin, they created a crude insulin by tying stuff around pigs pancreas (while alive). Learn how to do this and you shall survive the apocalypse (or at least not die from the diabetes).
Huh.
I'd need a large vehicle...I know there is a pig farm somewhere around here, so the big thing would be getting at least ten of the animals.
Y'know...because I'm no surgeon...
Thanks for that!

You really haven't been catching up with The Walking Dead comic, have you?

As I always say; If they're running super zombies I'm offing myself the moment they find my house, I can't fight those things.

If they're dead rising style shambling, falling over and generally ungainly creatures I'm gonna be scared, sure, but it's worth a shot. Don't walk into the big crowds, don't use a weapon that's way too heavy to move fast and don't go somewhere you can get trapped and you'll probably survive the situation if you try.

I'd do my best to survive, but if I could avoid fighting I would. They are still people, mindless people trying to eat me, but realistically there almost has to be a way to invent a cure, I'd always have that nagging at me, and even if a cure was enver invented they still look enough like people that anyone who'd feel comfortable killing them for fun is deluding themselves, or just playing tough on a forum.

I suspect I'd be pretty succesful too, if zombies are as depicted in fiction (and not the speedfreak variant, but it's still possible), if the outbreak even managed to be big enough to be noticed, which it probably wouldn't, realistically speaking.

I want to say I'd save a bullet for myself, I wouldn't want to be eaten, or anything like that, but I don't think I'd actually manage. I've tried to kill myself before, on a few occasions, and since I'm still here, talking to you, you can imagine how well that went. I just don't think I have it in me. If I managed to procure a grenade, or some other explosive I might though, especially if it meant saving someone else.

Yes, I'd fight. But I'd save a last bullet for myself just in case.

After watching a few zombie flicks, I sat and asked myself, "Is fighting to survive worth it if this were to happen". So basically, what are your views should the world ever come to this horrific end?

---Search bar approved---

Edit - You'd run out of supplies if you held up, and you'll essentially have to surrender anyway or starve to death. Holding up is a odd idea.
28 days zombies or old resident evil zombies?

If they run no, if they wobble like they just shat themselves yes.

You forgot the cheesy music!
Everyone knows you need cheesy music when you say that line.
