In event of Zombies break glass.

[Lithium05]

Ok... I wasn't going to start this thread, but now I've been persuaded. It's a regular topic of discussion I have with a couple of my mates, the most interesting of which came at Download last year (where we decided the best course of action would be to hop the fence and get to the airport) Anyone who's played a Resident Evil game, or seen a George Romero film must have thought about it:

In the event of a Zombie Apocalypse what would your plan of action be?

Keep in mind -

type of Zombie - Ambling and dimwitted? 28 days later super infectious single minded killing machines?

Where are you when the outbreak becomes apparent to you?

Become one.. Would be fun at Halloween..

I like the Shaun of the Dead/Dead Rising tactic. Find the most bizarre thing to kill them with. There must be tons of shit in your house that you think 'I wonder if this could stop an undead zombie?'

Basically, the world is about to end. F**k it - if you're going to go, have a bit of fun first.

[strudders]

If I could still see....

I would find the nearest road roller (theres one at the bottom of my road) and go a squishing

as I am now....

Find the nearest road roller and crash...

There are a lot of shit places you could be:

Tube Station

Football match

Festival (imagine emerging from your tent to find f*cking zombies everywhere!)

I often daydream at work about escape tactics (sometimes they're for zombies, other times it's just in general )- for example in terms of weapons, the pole for opening the windows in one of the meeting rooms would be my go to tool for zombie slayage... unless they were the 28 days later style zombies in which case a stealthier approach might be in order! Essentially the 28DL scenario means game over in the scenarios above.

Surely the easiest way to kill a zombie is hot water?

You're thinking of witches

[Mahdnyw]

I'm going to assume I live in the US for this one - it makes the plan nice & simple......haul ass onto the roof of a Wal-Mart

Food - Check

Clothing - Check

Guns - Check

Ammo - Check

Y'get the picture

There's actually a gun shop about a mile from where I live. Wouldn't be a bad place to start!

especially the chainsaw

[The Nal]

High rise building, cut the stairs off somehow, loads of Dime bars, mega Meanies and the big Lebowski on dvd.

[minute5072]

Always a classic

I've got a nice metal baseball bat that could do some damage, although I feel a weapon with more range could come in handy. Close combat's a bit risky.

[Acquiesce.]

I'd head straight for my papa's, house in the country, and he has a Samurai sword and a gun in his loft. as well as a nearby farm which would have plenty of knives, cleavers etc. Have to kill the dog though, too much noise.

The swords mine though. No one else is getting it.

[Lithium05]

Rookie mistake - the gun shots would attract the hoard and then you'd be buggered! Plus what happens when you run out of bullets?

I think I would be a Dawn of the Dead gal and hide in a shopping centre, weapon of choice being a frying pan its so satisfying playing Left 4 Dead 2 and hearing a good "Klang!" when you hit them

All ready.

Tinned food, pots etc, all the usual survival food.

Head down to Penzance, boat to isles of scilly. live.

Go to my mates Dad's house, it's a registered arsenal. More guns than you could possibly know what to do with and has his own bullet making machine. He actually applied for planning permission to fit a gun turret to the top of his house, i shit you not. For some unfathomable reason they turned it down

[pezzypops]

everyone needs a zombie plan, i've been planning mine for years.

• arm myself - all stuff i have in the house; hand axe, rounders bat (better than a baseball bat in confined areas, eg a corridor), heavy 10" kitchen knife.

• provisions; tinned or dried food, bottle of water, potatoes, fruit, etc.

• tools; copy of 'the zombie survival handbook' by max brooks, pocket knife, crowbar, camping stove + mess tins, small selection of screwdrivers, etc., first aid kit.

• i live near the river tyne so get down there and steal a boat; one with a small outboard would be best but i can sail so that would be my second choice.

• sail north up the coast for about 50 miles to either bamburgh castle or lindisfarne castle. both are modernised (by the victorians) medieval castles build on top of rocky outcrops. i'll have to get there quickly as i imagine whoever gets there first won't want too many people around, but northumberland has the lowest population density of any english county.

• sit it out.
