But what if it's not a typo?I think they might need to see a doctor.
This is true, which opens up another can of worms where we have to try and rationalize at what point an animal is an animal or a person. A classic question of the sliding scale of humanity.Sapience is my definition of a "person". Cue Urist McHuman's entrance.
That's actually what I meant.Even more bonus points if we're able to gene-engineer to make it literal.Whales, when we get NPCs eventually, will we be able to witness one NPC robbing another? I like the thought of shouting "I AM BATMAN" and stomping a thief.Bonus points if you only use unarmed, dress up as the Caped Crusader, and throw bats
Baseball bats would be more fun.

I was thinking of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath version i.e. Boombats.Strangers Wrath for the fucking WIN!
But hey, the ability to breed ammo, what could possibly go wrong?
Golden Harvest makes me think naughty thoughts...SILENCE YOU FOOL!

But, anyway, I'm not worried. I'm not planning on purchasing any of those toys anyway, and it's not like they're about to start calling them that in the show.
I can shoot get a headshot with a pistol 3/4 times, and a shot through the eyesocket about 1/4 times. I'm an emaciated weakfuck however, so I'm not going to do so well with the stabbies. Good thing I'm a right-wing crazy with enough gun to take out half the townFuck yes, fellow Minnesota/Wisconsin person. WE SHALL MAKE A DANGEROUS ZOMBIE FIGHTING TEAM.Friend of mine had a pretty genius idea for dealing with fast zombies. Assuming the zombies will just run towards anything that grabs their attention, survivors in different barricaded shelters could take turns drawing zombie attention so that they keep running back and forth until they collapse.
Pikes. Makes a mean zombie kabob that's ready to be cooked.
Anyways, my plan involves hijacking a boat off Lake Michigan and taking that north into Canada. Fast or slow, I'm pretty sure water's gonna stop zombies in their tracks. Food and drinkable water are likely to be a crapshoot unless I can get a water purifier on board.
I have no skills involving guns, but I can swing a club pretty good. Oh, and I have three guns in my house so there's another reason to team up with me. I can also provide morale boosts with my amazing stand up comedy routine.

This^And most of them don't account for the inevitability of meat ramps. No, the most sensible plan is to hightail it to somewhere more than a day's walk into permafrost, and try to survive off the scraps of civilization until you can get a sufficiently large greenhouse system set up to sustain you and a small nucleus of fellow survivors who will be the basis for an eventually hopelessly inbred humanity.Pikes. Makes a mean zombie kabob that's ready to be cooked.
Stuff like this assumes sufficient opportunity to prepare, after shit has already hit the fan. Not just directing this at you, either. People tend to offer solutions that involve a lot of set-up.

...MOAR THERMITE?I'd probably find shelter in one of the local nuclear plants. They have well-equipped paramilitary guards and tank trenches surrounding the premises. Not quite a military base, but would still hold off zombies for a while.I hope you know how to turn off a nuclear power plant without having it blow up, meltdown, or both.
An a-hole griefer can easily set a pair of socks on fire in a pool of booze and voila, there goes the 3-months spent on a custom-built multiplayer fortress.I only read the below part, and took me a lil bit to realize you meant the idiom. STOEPUD BRAN

Yeah, I can agree with Ehndras.Yeah, they burn for a while.
I've actually burned a shed down once as a kid, (accidentally, of course) and it burned for quite a while. Shed might be a wrong word, it was a tiny, 5x5m shack used for drying hay. A house would definitely go on for hours.
Just drop bircks on their heads from a 3rd story window.Goodluck as they will never stop coming, and will eventually break in.
Get chainmail, axe and a nice safehouse and you've beaten the zombies. Good luck rebuilding!They'll rip that up. 100+ zombies will grab you, and eventually crush you to death.
Go to a small convience store with a truckMeat ramp. Have fun.
Raid the shit outta it
head back home
Make a wall around your house, about 8 feet high.
make a garden in the back yard
peofit and survive like a boss
Surviving zombies is easy enough. Destroy the handful of people originally infected and the disease can't spread. Unless the zombies start out in the hundreds or thousands and widely spread, it would be a cakewalk to eliminate them before you even had to satart worrying about 'survival'.If you start killing people before the outbreak is large, you'll be arrested for murder. Dontcha luv it?
I swear, you guys are all getting your facts from the Zombie Survival guideI read it, and I hate the "destroy the stairs" thing.
They're stronger due to the survival mechanism making only 20% of your muscle used being disabled. x5 normal strength. Even if equal, they'd still surround and claw you, up until the point you pass out from wearing 200pounds of armor, and then they'll claw off your armor.Too bad zombies are stronger than you, and will dislocate your arms.
Why would they be? Rotted muscle fibres are much weaker than non-rotted ones. Zombies aren't scary because they're strong, or fast, or smart. They're scary because there could be billions of them.
REFRIGERATORDo you people ever feel like screaming obscenities to the wind for no particular reason?
Nope, although I've seen plenty of mentally ill people do that as I walk by uncomfortably.
How do you know they were mentally ill? Perhaps they were just... liberated.
