Theres a zero percent chance of either happening before our species goes extinct.

And a zero percent chance of the zombie thing happening ever. Even after our civilization is gone.

Wtf topic...

I have always wondered, when fighting slow zombies, couldn't i just falcon punch them?

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.

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.

being backed into a corner and fuck, you didn't save a bullet for yourself. GG

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

It's a hard counter.

@ 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 :-/

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 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.

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.

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.

Alien invasion would definitely happen first. Why? Aliens are real and Zombies are not.
Aliens are much more interesting too.

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?

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

The essential problem with fighting zombies is that everyone they kill not only adds to the number of zombies, but also provides food for existing zombies. So while we may be safe in our little hideaway, we;re running out of food - while the zombies are being kept alive by every foo' who thinks he can go fight them with an AK.

Aliens on the other hand, can be assumed to be rational, if we put up a good resistance then it wouldn't be worth them fighting us. ANd if their technology is so far ahead of us that we can't put up any resistance, whats the point of them invading Earth?

Hey google fight isn't working anymore? Zombie Apocalypse vs Alien Invasion

I would say Aliens is more likely, but religious people might say zombies.

On a related note, The Zombie Survival guide is a good book I've yet to read. I wonder if there is a Alien invasion survival guide? Machine Uprising survival guide.

Also op needs Machine/computer uprising as an option. That's probably the most likely of the 3 too.

What would be more scary, zerg invasion or protoss invasion

Very true. I studied CS and AI in college, and I can say with certainty that there *will* be a day when machines and computers are more intelligent than humanity. Whether or not that will result in a terminator-like apocalypse is unknown, but humanity will have to find another niche in the world.

The department head at my school who focused on AI development was convinced that in roughly 75-80 years there would be a judgment day event of some sort. Why he stayed in the field was a mystery to us o.o;;

A lot of you who say zombies are EZ win gg are so wrong. Zombies feel no pain. They feel no fear. Everyone of us lost is one of them gained. All our modern weapons suck at fighting them. They do not stop. Doorknobs? Fuck that, they'll just keep slamming on the door till it falls down. Sure they're slow but just imagine 50+ of them slowly walking to you, with you shooting at them, missing every shot (and even if you hit every shot, that's noise that will attract even more), being backed into a corner and fuck, you didn't save a bullet for yourself.

You know, the interesting thing that people always talk about when it comes to alien invasions is the alien's taking us over. I highly doubt that a race so evovled that it can survive billions of years travelling through space will so much as think of us as "interesting creatures". I doubt they'll need to enslave us given that the aforementioned technology (that allowed them to travel billions of years through space) would be more then adequate for their survival. Even on earth we're replacing more and more physical labour with robotics and automated factory processes. So, if aliens do come, they'll be like

"omg look organic life forms.. take a picture" and then fly off....

Might explain the UFO sightings and the complete disinterest of the UFOs in making contact.

It's only humanity's narcissism that makes us think anyone would consider us as anything more but dumb animals. Besides, most animals which we make daily contact with communicate EXACLY the same as us. The only difference being that they don't go into the complexities humans do. Seriously, how far off are we from being 'just animals'? Analyse our group behaviour and we're just like sheep.

Zombies would definitely be more intense. I can just see myself and a band of brothers having to slash our way through hordes of zombies and having to live on the edge every single second.

But in terms of epicness and long-term changes to humanity, an alien invasion would be unbelievably awesome, provided we have similar military technology.
