Zombie Apocalypse

Well its that time of year... the leaves change colors, kids go out and scrounge for candy, and you go over your checklists to ensure that you have everything ready to initiate your zombie plans should the uprising come this year. With the later in mind, I'm curious of a few things... just what do you all plan on doing once the zombies attack.

To elicit you into discussing your plans, I'll throw in a 10Million influence/infamy prize to a randomly drawn entry, picked during my Zombie Apocalypse show on Friday, October 30th (after the Charlie and Kyo show). But here's the deal, you must list three things.

1) Your Weapon of Choice: You can't kill zombies with your bare hands. Ok, you can, but that greatly increases your chance of being bitten or otherwise becoming infected.

2) Your Song of Choice: If you were to have only one song play as your personal soundtrack to zombie slaying, what would it be?

3) Your Escape Plans: You can't sit and fight the never-ending horde of zombies for eternity. Eventually you're gonna get tired, so what do you plan on doing after you've slated your desire to destroy the brain-eaters.

To start us off, I'll go first.

1) I'd go for a sword, preferably a hand and a half sword. Its simple and can't run out of ammo.

2) Black Betty - ZZ Top Its got a nice beat to keep you moving and a slayin'.

3) Now this really depends on the time of year, and just where I'm at during the initial attack. But basically I plan to use the zombies lack of ability to control their internal temperature against them. Preferably I'd go north, towards the Artic, where the cold will freeze the zombies into zombcicles... If though its the middle of the summer and I'm at home, I'll make way for the middle of the desert, where the hot sun will destroy the zombies who have no means of regulating the excessive heat from their bodies.

1) Shotgun and chainsaw. You didn't say I had to pick only one.

2) Bodies - Drowning Pool. Hey it just fits.

3) Head to the Mall. Even zombies like a good shopping spree.

1 - So many options... but how about a fully loaded AH-64D?

2 - Indestructible - Disturbed

3 - Heh. I'm already in Canada.

*sigh*... you know you have too much free time when you actually put thought into this...

1 - Dual 9mm, light weight so it won't slow you down. As for a melee weapon, I'd go for a shovel, 'cause it qualifies as both a blunt and edged weapon

2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20VxcG2jw9o - Burn it to the ground by NickelBack

3 - Some place Familiar, easily defendable, and well stock with food. There's a reason alot of Zombie movie/games are made around shopping malls. A shopping mall in Canada is even better

1. My all knowing Book of Kung Fu
2. Misfits Then all Hell Breaks Loose or Kung Fu fighting
3. I'd escape by either waking up whew just a dream....
or jump-ing in my Fuey mobile

Weapon of choice? A bow of course.
Song? Uprising by Muse.
Escape? Isn't that what women and children do?

Weapon: An umbrella seemed to work pretty well for Frank West
Song: Thought about this for a bit: Ouroborous, The Mars Volta. It's a longer/varied song that I wouldn't get bored of too quickly.
Escape: Just head for higher ground. If Honda's Asimo can barely climb stairs, it'd take a zombie forever to get to me. And when they do just push em back down with the umbrella. They'll either starve or get bored.

Edit: Added a link to the song.

Weapon: Machete, it never runs out of ammunition and has the strength to chop heads again and again and again...

Song: Pride (Freaking awesome song, and that video is just plain funny) by Soil.

Escape: Eventually, there will be an end to them. Everything dies on a long enough timeline.

Since "fighting them to the bitter end" isn't an option, the arctic is still dangerous as the environment can kill you, too. When the earth thaws in the summer months, too, you have to be constantly cautious of lurkers. Plus, food is as scarce for you as it is for the local fauna.

My recommendation is to seek the tropics, possibly the rain forests, and construct a society in the trees themselves (a la Robin Hood Prince of Thieves). The zombies won't be able to climb the trees and won't know enough to leave when we send the death squads down to eliminate them before a hunt. Hunting should be fine (Mm... Panther...) especially since the numbers of humanity will be massively reduced.

Until the constant threat of the hordes of Patient Zero are eliminated, farming will have to wait.

Weapon: Baseball bat. Preferably aluminum.

Song: I Can't Decide by the Scissor Sisters. I never get tired of that song.

Escape Plan: Trip Charlie, run like hell, and barricade myself in a Wal-Mart.

1) Your Weapon of Choice: Machette. Simple and sturdy. Defensively, SWAT riot gear works great, too.
2) Your Song of Choice: Scissor Sisters - I Can't Decide
3) Your Escape Plans: Stay right where I am. Middle of nowhere, up on a hill.

You know, malls and Wal-Marts are bad choices, right? EVERYONE will be heading there when the attacks start. Just makes for a big zombie buffet.

Well I can't stay on the hill with you, Charlie. We wouldn't have to worry about the zombies because we'd be too busy going all Mr. and Mrs. Smith on each other. Eventually one of us would throw the other to the zombies out of sheer annoyance.

Besides, we'd run out of food.

Someone mentioned prizes? I can always use more influence/infamy. Meh, for what it's worth ...

1) Necromancy. If you want a real answer, I'd have to go with a small, light lawn mower (think Dead Alive; a must-see movie if you can get it).

2) Hey Man, Nice Shot by Filter. C'mon, it's still badass after all this time, even if the band isn't what it used to be. Take a picture of this, you undead @%$#!!!

3) I'd strap my MP3 player to my side, grab my bow and a nice crowbar, stuff the cats in my backpack along with some foodstuffs, and disappear into the sunset ... never to be seen again.

Ohhhh, something where i get to kill zombehs!

1) Katana, i is a ninja after all XD

2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNo82...eature=related Monster Mash! *uno, y didnt any1 else say this?*

3) ummm... Up the Sky Tower.... zombehs cant use elevators, they be dumb! *PS. the Sky Tower is the tallest... structure in the southern hemisthphere(?)*

1) a 'Lobo' and a Crossbow for ranged.
2) Princes of the Universe, by Queen
3) Being in Canada, there's only one viable option. Head to the Diefenbunker, and join the forces being assembled within.

Alright... since the Zombie Apocalypse has started, and I'm safe in my secure location and broadcasting, its time to announce our winners.

The grand prize winner, who wins their choice of 10mil Influence or Infamy is:

Archiviste!

He was our random drawing winner. I'm also adding an extra 1million to his prize for his 'unique' survival technique of not surviving.


Other winners, winning 1million each:

For going against my warning, Ectomy wins the "My Kung Fu is better than your Zombie" Award.

For unique weaponry, Demonshell wins the "Umbrella Protection FTW" Award.

For original thought and idea of ruling the zombies via Necromancy, despite confusing escape plan, MisterMalcom wins the "Zombie Overlord" Award.

So contact me ingame or at dj-mionas@kjsr.net to arrange a time to collect your winnings.

Yay! I won something for once!

I'll see you Tuesday night at 8 for TfT, so you can just hand me the booty before or after the event. No reason to set up a special time for it.
