One of my mates who's come to visit me while in hospital and knowing I'd have lots of time on my hands encouraged me to read the following book: "The Zombie Survival Guide: complete protection from the living dead" by Max Brooks... which is turning out to be a really deadly serious book on survival by someone who is for better of a word 'weird'... but it's proved quite entertaining and I've been getting tips hehe.
Currently on the chapter discussing weapons and the impracticality of guns and chainsaws due to infinite ammo/fuel and the 'noise attracts more zombies' scenario so your idea of blunt instruments is certainly in the right direction.
As for the army... '28 days/weeks later', 'dawn of the dead' and 'the crazies' would put me off going near any military encampments. |
lol Vinyl, I think, but yeh, OMG, I love that part! I have so many favorite parts to that EPIC movie, but the one that might stick out the most, is when they're coming back from the pub and do that weird nenenenenenenene...
*groans* bit. I still find myself doing that every once in a while. xD God, that movie is amazing, and I love those guys! Amazing actors!
Yep, it's nice to meet another Brit, as well.
Oh yeah, good point on the army... I vaguely remember some bad army situations in zombie movies. God help us if they figure out how to use the guns! Ever seen I Am Legend? I bet you have. :P I love that movie as well, and it freaks me out. There's something about those zombie-like things... they're kinda, the modern zombie, if you know what I mean. I guess there's two kinds of zombie-lovers: the slow, shuffling kind, or the fast, almost intelligent kind. 28 Days Later, or old (PS1) Resident Evil games. I'm partial to both, really, but find the former to be the freakiest, because... so easy to avoid the slow ones; seems like they can't do much of anything except shuffle about while we thwack 'em with whatever we can find (including vinyl
) But the fast ones? They really are a hell of a threat!
Do you like the Walking Dead? I went through most of that a while back and was soooooo engrossed... OMG, the story, the action, everything.. that was intense.
Oh, and I agree with the ammo thing. There's no point in going around with guns, anyway, because, if we go by the movies, we'd have to severely damage the brain, and what better way than with a blunt thing? I guess arrows could work, so if a carpenter is around, that could be good, provided people were really good (that would just be unrealistic, maybe, as I don't think it's quite that easy to be accurate with a bow and arrow :P) I think, although gross, swords are a real winner... nothing says "Not today, Brain-lover!" like a Katana chopping off a zombie's head.

I think it does have a lot to do with the media of today... news articles and popular movie culture instils fear of this or that crisis happening (virus/meteor/some nut with nuclear weapons) and it has kinda tuned some people into thinking about the 'what if'... and rather than be scared... just prepare on the off chance they'd be lucky enough to get through the initial 'crap hitting the fan' stage.

I like the way you think.
