Science Proves Frank West's Zombie Survival Strategy Correct

[VanityGirl]

Just be sure to get everyone strip-searched to make sure no one was bitten

Woohoo! erm.. righto.


OT: That's pretty cool stuff, I'd be in a Mall because it has a food court and it will have access to things I can turn into weapons.

I still think my solution of hijacking a Super-C class ferry and weighing anchor in between Vancouver and Vancouver Island is a better strategy.

Watch out. Zombies might be able to pull themselves up the anchor.

I'm glad somebody noticed =-D

What about a school, though? Or a Police Station? Would Zombies be less dangerous if they were children or behind bars?

And (Again, to quote Cracked) the common thought of a Zombie is that it infects you with a bite. You wouldn;t want to use a melee weapon because you would risk being bitten. That said, you wouldn't want to aim for the Zombie's head. While it may be cool in films or games, you wouldn't want to sacrifice your precious ammunition for a cool headshot, would you? Make like the SAS and aim for the body!

always aim for centre of seen mass champ!

Well, now all they have to do is a study on Vampires. Seriously, what a waste of fucking money!!! They should use that money on curing cancer or finding Osama Bin Laden. Dumb fuckers.

Yes, lets find Bin Laden; With SCIENCE! Pfft.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. On second thought, if you want to save ammo, just throw shit at them XD

So best tactic for fighting zombies is to make like monkeys? Right.

Is it bad that my first thought would be how flawed that Zombie Surviva... Random Walker survival strategy that would be?

Seriously. Your closest Shopping Mall or Supermarket or School or whatever is also the closest Shopping Mall or Supermarkt or School to thousands of other people who are also very eager to survive these 'Random Walkers'. Do you know what would happen in such an event?

Everyone would be walking into one massive oven full of the tasty human-meat that the Zombies so desperately want, all you and thousands of other people would be doing is keeping yourselves warm until the Human-Can Openers arrive.

[/Rant on Zombie Survival]

... There really should be some sort of Sub-Forum dedicated to Zombie Survival.

I agree, we need a forum for just Zombie Survival, or Koala Survival, or Raging Insect Survivor, etc. Taking this down, Escapist? Good.
And btw, long time no see Pulse, missed your icon being around lately.
I still plan myself to make for the mountains. One reason I like being near em. Good for many different disasters: zombies, plague, nuclear war, invading Cubans...

By shit I meant "random objects". I do not condone the use of poo as a weapon and can not be held legally responsible for any misuse of poo resulting from the above post.

I do not encourage the use of poo as a weapon, unless it is against aliens against which it would be deadly to.

Part of me likes to think that when the zombies start coming, it'll be the middle of winter.

Winter in Ottawa? Zombies all frozen. Could just stay home. Play Left 4 Dead.

As somone who also lives in Ottawa I agree. Lets see them get through the 6 foot mountain of snow outside to get to my front door. That or a quick ninja escape on the rideau canal. I don't think they can stand on ice either.

Both the malls here look like Willamette mall, and I live the Willamette Valley... Hmm... Two malls are better than one.

 

[fletch_talon]

Have fun at the mall, I'll be at the Winchester with my cocktails, pork crackle and the jukebox on random.

 

[ZZoMBiE13]

Of course Frank West knows what he's doing. He has covered wars you know.

 

[paragon1]

Well, if the zombie outbreak does happen I know where I'm going... I'm gonna go to The Mall of America! ^_^

Can I join? I'll bring the C4 and assault rifles.

Just remember, a lot of other people have the same idea as you.

its a zombie survival forum

 

[joystickjunki3]

Duh.

 

[incal11]

On the other hand, nor does it account for the humans' ability to make like Frank West (or Dead Rising 2's Chuck Greene) and grab the nearest lawnmower, either.

The one true lawnmower wielder in my mind is Lionel from Dead alive...

Yay for wasting grant money! Now if we could go back to practical application of this guys talents the world can be a better place.

Yes, but admittedly, this guy must've been bored out of his skull. Now, if we could only get someone to study the legal status of an "infected"-type zombie...

 

[matrix3509]

Personally, I'm going to a sporting goods store. My mall doesn't have one, and its best to be some place with an abundance of shotgun ammo.

Well, I'd like to see the wording in the research proposal for that ;-) What were they actually interested in? Because trust me, they'll have had to sell it to someone for funding somehow, even leaving aside the whole zombie coincidence. Also, Physics Review E? Hmm...

Maybe they were funded by the military! Who knows... Could've been a zombiefearing general who needed more information on "the enemy".

You're not alone. No real need for weapons then, unless zombies grow wings.

... TO SCRIBBLENAUTS

YOU FOOL! THEY'LL KILL US ALL!

A mall is actually the best place, provided that you can seal off the entrances, make sure the population is a small one, and that several people have useful skills. Thataways, you can turn hallways into farm-able land, and you can expand/house a population with little effort.
