go ahead carrying around a heavy fucking weapon+ammo and spamming all your bullets at a zombie when they'd only fall to a precision shot to the brain. Plus, with no weapon's training, you're pretty much going to miss. GG. Oh, and all that sound from the AK? That'll attract other zombies. While you're standing there spamming your bullets, feeling how powerful and awesome you are with an AK, the zombie masses will slowly come to kill you.

Dude, AK-47 vs zombies is like firebats vs zerglings.

It's a hard counter.

zombie Apocalypse would be preferred just because me and my friends discussed what we would do..

go to the University pool where they have the diving platforms
The building has doors
the entrance to the locker rooms have doors
the entrance to the pool as doors

already 3 sets of doors to defend
plus, when were on the top level of the platform, thats 5 separate sets of ladders the zombies have to climb up

just get some of those long poles used to fish stuff out of the pool, snap in half, and there you have an effective tool for poking zombies off ladders/platforms

@ chaoser: Not to mention an AK-47 is a terrible firearm. There are much better weapons for the job than this. However, videogames are terribly misleading since they let you carry so much ammo so easily :-/

very true. any bolt action rifle would be a lot better. Better accuracy+inability to spam so you don't end up wasting all your ammo in a fit of fear/false confidence/rage.

Didn't you see what happened to the guy that used the bat in http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=80075 ?

I'm trying to decide what I would do if I got a slightly advanced notice of an impending zombie outbreak... hm let me think.

Well it all comes down to how long you would have to hold out after securing yourself... the mall idea seemed decent since they had plenty of food, but there was really know way to replenish their sources so they were going to be screwed eventually...

Oh sorry, I left out the holy part. Holy AK-47s deals extra damage vs undead.

But in all serious I would just run away lol. If there is that many zombies there isn't any option to kill them all yourself anyway.

I would probably just go move to my uncle's place in Wyoming. There's no people in Wyoming so there wouldn't be any zombies there.

poll would have been nicer. i say aliens are more probable because the chances that earth is the only planet in the universe that has life are very very slim. but the chances of zombies becoming alive and as strong and invincible as they are in movies and such are even more slim.

I'm just curious how you came up with this conclusion. I also want to specifically know why you might think that interstellar travel is more likely than zombies.

I'm not too sure. Assuming the zombies would be regular "rise from the dead" zombies out of graves, I just think that would be impossible. I think their bodies would scientifically be too rotten to function and it would just be flat out impossible. Don't get me wrong, I think space travel is basically next to impossible too, but space is just plain fucked up. Like take black holes for example, wtf is with them, where do they go. I couldn't picture space travel ever existing but just because how fucked up black holes are for example and some other aspects of space I think the chances of someone figuring out how to abuse that space fucked-up-ness are more likely than something that just seems scientifically impossible like zombies. I just don't think zombies are possible, and if they were they wouldn't be nearly as hard to kill and be nearly as invincible as many movies make them out to be.

Yeah I've always thought this too. People usually don't get stronger when they get diseases. I don't think that some kind of zombification virus would be any different.

haha, true. Sadly (fortunately?), everything I've learned about science from 4 years of college says that this webpage is full of shit.

An AK-47 would work for all of about 6 hours (at the most unless you are in a rural area). Then you are fighting legions of zombies with no ammo. Movies never take that into account.

That's why I later posted "I would actually just run away to Wyoming where there are no people and therefore no zombies." :/

Edit: Should add "Savior Apocalypse" to the poll. VV

Staying on topic, its hard to know which is more likely or which is worse. Alien domination could potentially be much worse. With zombies, the worst thing that can happen to you is dieing a painful death. With alien invasion, there is that possibility, but there is also the possibility of torture, mind control, slavery, and even things humanity has never experienced. For example, it is possible that we are under alien invasion right now. Aliens could invade us by triggering a zombie apocalypse.

Its hard to know which is more likely as well. I think its foolish to assume that we know the fundamental aspects of space travel.

OK, semi serious post here. Aliens are never going to invade. First of all, if aliens do exist, they'd have to be so far away that it would take them thousands of years to get here. And, if they did have some super alien technology that can travel faster than light, they'd have no reason for. Whatever resources they could get from the earth would be waaaaaay less than the energy it would take for them to travel this far just to kill us. On the other hand, I guess some freak virus could maybe create zombies.

It also depends what you consider to be a zombie. I wouldn't consider a human to got a virus that made him go crazy and start killing people a zombie. I would consider a zombie someone that was proven dead, buried in a grave, and then through some way came alive against and undug him, then started killing people.

why? there's no difference. If you see someone with their flesh rotting off, trying to eat other people, it doesn't really matter whether he was buried or not, does it?
