When you guys are reading or watching post-apocalyptic.. stories or movies, or even TV shows, what comes to mind? Do you think about these things? About the end of the world? I'm not talking about 2012(?), I'm talking about 28 Weeks Later, Dawn of the Dead... hell, even Cloverfield. What do you think of these events? Are you planned for it? And are you willing to find a way to survive it somehow? ie. In Dawn of the Dead, everyone went inside a mall and stocked up on food and shit like that so they could burst forth and move on, etc. I'm just curious about when these things happen, and your friend is stranded on the other side of the state or whatever, would you try to save them? ie. Cloverfield.

It depends. If I knew a nuclear bomb was gonna drop in the city, I'd probably run towards the city rather than away from it, so as to make my death instant rather than a slow, radiation-driven decline into sickness.

If it were something like an invasion from a physical enemy military presence, I'd try as hard as I could to evade and resist. As far as saving loved-ones goes, of course.
Oh no

People in zombie movies - like Dawn of the Dead - are notorious for being completely fucking stupid, they might as well be zombies themselves, they make such stupid decisions.

I'm pretty sure I could survive a zombie attack. After all, I've read the survival guide.

hahaha everyone in zombie movies are fucking stupid. for example, 28 DAYS later, the military guys frigging held the zombie captive. who does that? really? i mean, if that happened, i wouldnt. but seriously. if you have someone at the other side of the state, would you try to SAVE them if.... zombies happened lets say? but i dont know, cloverfield had a pretty good idea of it even though it did no one any good. risk or no?

Speaking of movies like that, I can hear a creepy breathing right now, and I have no idea what it is.

Well, to their credit, that does make sense. You'd presumably need a live specimin if you're gonna get a cure =p

edit: and yeah, I always think SHIT what would I do if that's me? (Could be that I'll get totally baked and watch that, but I digress..) I live just a few minutes outside of NYC, so I was just thinkin like, man.... what if I was stuck in NYC while that shit went down, hah.

The going back for a friend thing depends on a lot of things... who it is, what's the situation, etc.

When the apocalypse presents itself, be it zombie or otherwise, I see it as my sacred duty to save the one they call 'Yubee.' I am willing to give my life for the cause.

I would create a giant metal ball with very thin air holes and roll around inside it. Sure, I will eventually die from starvation or accidentally rolling off a cliff, but imagine how fun my last few days would be.

That made me lol. Its a little crazy imo to be concerned by such events. The odds are against it happening in my life time.

Err... If there was a nuclear reaction, the poison would kill you through the holes, if it was zombiez, they would probably just surround your ball and scare you to death, or throw bombs or light fires or something to kill you, after wall your ball must be pretty thin, they would get through it pretty easy
If you watch Godzilla backwards it's about a benevolent lizard who helps rebuild a city and then moonwalks into the ocean.

Who says I'm expecting to live? Nah, when my time comes, my time comes. Nuclear reaction? Oxygen mask, problem solved. Zombies? Who'd be scared of zombie when they're inside a giant metal ball! Bomb-throwing-fire-lighting-zombies? Roll faster! Hehehe~

Nah, if my life was a movie I'd be labeled as Young Man with Blue Jacket #2. I don't expect to live as my survival instincts are low...
this is my quote.
