What are you going to do when that day comes? What's your weapon of choice? What preparations will you make? Where will you go? What is your strategy?

This is always a fun topic. Fun but SERIOUS.

I have a few pointers:

1. If you're at home when you hear the shit hit the fan, start filling your bathtubs. Sounds a little crazy, I know, but water is a precious resource and the average person will die from thirst in less than a week if they don't have any. Once running water stops, you're on your own.

2. Know your exits. Always have an exit plan. No matter how well-fortified you think you are, there's always a way for the living dead to get in. Having an exit strategy could mean the difference between surviving and becoming zombie chow.

3. Always have an emergency pack ready. Make sure it's filled with enough weapons, ammo, food, clothing and water to last you at least a couple of days. You never know when you may have to cut your losses and run.

4. Pack a few sets of earplugs. At some point (probably late at night while you're trying to sleep), the incessant moaning of the zombies will become unbearable and it's important you find a way to block out the noise before you go insane and shoot yourself.

5. Short hair + tight clothing = less things for zombies to grab onto.

6. Blades don't need reloading.

7. If you're travelling (and you may need to, sooner or later), stay away from the major cities. The risk of getting swarmed is much greater than any rewards that lie within. If possible, stick to sparsely-populated rural areas.

8. And above all, remain calm. Panicking is a sure-fire way to get yourself killed. Take a few deep breaths. You will get through this if you are prepared and are able to keep your head screwed on straight.

Most of these were taken from the awesome Max Brook (yes, he's the son of the great Mel Brooks) book The Zombie Survival Guide. It's a great read.

What is this, a straight out copy of Gnomey's thread at Hyper? :P

a. Drive out somewhere reasonaly distant from all the zombies
b. Set up .50 cal rifle
c. shoot as many of the bastards as you can
d. Go Grand Theft Auto on their asses by running as many of them down as possible

Keep them entertained with stand-up comedy. They may be dead, but they've still got a sense of humour. While they're rolling in the aisles, pull out an M60 (they'll think it's part of the act) and, well, mow them down. You'll get the last laugh. Fitting really. Just don't miss.

Man I'm getting that book for christmas, Shorty.

What a useless book, seriously. I'd rather a book on bomb making. At least that's something feesible.

Dude, I think you're kinda missing the point. It's written as a fictional "how to" for how to survive a zombie uprising. It's not really meant to be taken that seriously. It's like those "science of Star Wars" books or the ones that show you all the different parts of the lightsaber or landspeeder. It's a factual-style documentation of a fictional universe, in this case the Romero-style zombie universe.

If you're not a fan of the Romero zombie films you're probably not going to appreciate it anyway and you're definitely not in the target audience for this book in the first place.

Mmm, those Star Wars visual encylopaedias are cool. I never knew that bit of loose skin around Sebulba's neck inflated during mating season.

Err...Yay?

At any rate I'm not much into zombies. I remember those Star Wars book like things. I skimmed through a few of them in my younger years.

I love reading all the Star Wars books.. the ones that have been out for years. Stuff like 'Tales from Jabba's Palace" and all that... stuff about characters and galaxies that are barely related to the main characters we know.. George Lucas is a genious.

I would start something like this...

I've got one of these:

I'll take a drive out to my father-in-laws farm. He's basically preparing for a zombie attack anyway, so we should be pretty cozy. Plus zombies would never come out to Campania anyway.

Stay as close to Nags as possible. He is the one person whose name I would instantly blurt out if someone asked who I would want to be in a zombie invasion with.

Also, try to locate Bruce Campbell.

Hide similar to the end of the awesome movie signs, just put wooden planks over all entry points and from there wait it out

Act like a zombie.

If the zombies think that I'm also a zombie there's less chance that they'll attack me.

There's not much too it, just put on some grey body paint, walk slowly with a limp, moan, and chow down on the occasional brain.

If Dead Rising has taught me anything, I'll keep handy a few bottles of orange juice :P

Well dont tell any one thisbut im planning to get married laternext year

PS i will kill who ever tells her but you guys dont know her so wats the point

Orange juice can cure cancer in that game, I swear to god.

Ooookk....

My plan for world dominati- I mean DESTROYING THE ZOMBIES? It's ready. And there are only four easy steps to follow!

Step one- Hide in a box
Step two- Loudly nibble on cookie to get the attention of the Zombies
Step three- Jump out of box
Step four- Cut their heads off with my killer butter knives of doom

WOW, I AM LEGIT ROFLING RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE SO RANDOM, WHICH AUTOMATICALLY MAKES YOU THE FUNNIEST GIRL ALIVE.

Go Too far - Mach
