- Br0wn, on 10/28/2007, -1/+190You got red on you.
- seopher, on 10/31/2007, -2/+168Get a cornetto, a cricket bat, a cup of tea and wait for it all to blow over.
Triffic. - markp93, on 11/03/2007, -1/+120The server is dead... or 'undead', mwuhahahaha....
- JlmAWP, on 10/27/2007, -0/+95You should hold out on purchasing, I hear there is a Kit + Herb bundle about to hit the market.
Green AND red herbs. - ZaNkY, on 10/31/2007, -5/+90"The following information [i]may[/i] increase your chances of survival during the outbreak... cover all brain regions" =D
The kit doesn't look like it could last more than 2 minutes in a real outbreak IMHO. Better talk with your local mall...
If you're into "reading" check out the Zombie Survival Guide: http://www.amazon.com/Zombie-Survival-Guide-Comple ... - Lionhart, on 10/26/2007, -2/+84Somehow I don't think 10 shotgun rounds are going to last very long against the legions of the undead.
- chewbacca77, on 10/31/2007, -0/+56You see, that's the beauty of the kit - it comes with a machete... or maybe its a large butter knife. I can't tell.
At least you can serve the legions delicious toast. - KingGorilla, on 10/31/2007, -0/+48That's only starter ammo! Once you kill one or two an instant box of ammo will magically pop up from the corpse and start hovering in place maybe rotating slowly.
- wendelgee2, on 10/31/2007, -1/+49dugg for 1/2 reference to Shaun of the Dead.
- powerhouse, on 10/26/2007, -0/+40Bird shot won't penetrate the skull, he needs either buckshot or slugs.
- chewbacca77, on 10/26/2007, -0/+40I like the colander on the guy's head in the poster.
- mstoneburner, on 10/30/2007, -0/+39football
mitts
spaghetti - ncc74656m, on 10/31/2007, -0/+39And it's exactly that kind of attitude that will get you killed.
- meachen, on 10/26/2007, -6/+44take out the Zombie part and that would be good for all houses in Chicago
- lolage, on 10/29/2007, -0/+34The Zombie Survival Guide is my bible. Wherever I go I always have an escape plan in case of zombie attack, I memorize the locations of resources I'd need and I also live close to water. Maybe this is why I cant be around people.
- Punisher2K, on 10/30/2007, -0/+34Who is joking?
- JlmAWP, on 10/26/2007, -1/+30Yes. I can be very clever. Thanks for commenting.
- jcastillo81, on 10/26/2007, -1/+29Knives don't need reloading...
- genconkeeper, on 10/26/2007, -0/+27Since Z's are attacked by sound you almost need something like a thumper from "Dune". A "Moaner"(TM) in a tight situation attach the Moaner to any location set the timer and run. After the preset duration the Moaner starts making noise. Babies crying, dog barking, people yelling for help. Z's will go for it while your far away. Brilliant!
- fant0m, on 10/26/2007, -2/+28Bush has one of these kits - he's known about a potential zombie attack/invasion for a while!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoXgRtDysLY - leadingzero, on 10/27/2007, -0/+23Best. Book. Ever. One of the only books I'd say you NEED.
I hope I'm on an offshore oil rig during the outbreak. - mavranos, on 10/26/2007, -0/+23Also read World War Z
- ncc74656m, on 10/26/2007, -2/+23I want!
But I concur with some of the criticisms, but with some caveats.
Regarding the number of shells available, remember that you need to balance weight, effectiveness, and the availability of resources depending upon the type (and therefore size) of outbreak you're facing. If it's a small outbreak, you just need to ensure your own defense and perhaps consider a small localized offensive to clear out the local infected.
My primary criticism is with the size of the machete in question, and weight. While I understand that this is, in particular, for demonstration purposes, remember that weight and heft are what you're going to need the most in a hand to hand combat scenario with the undead. Remember that you MUST not fail to remove the head with the first blow, and the human neck, particularly if the undead in question is fresh, is a tough item to cleave through. Ask me how I know.
That being said, I think this kit should only be used in a small and very sudden surprise attack by the undead, and should only be used to eliminate a small imminent threat, or to make your escape in the event of a larger attack. Also remember that combating the dead by yourself is extremely hazardous, and you should always fight, particularly in close quarters, in pairs. If someone gets attacked, do NOT wait for them to turn before granting them the merciful release they would want. If you wait too long, you may wind up joining the ranks of the undead, and at best, this is bad for you, and at worst, creates at least one more of the undead for your human compatriots to subdue later.
If you ask me, I think a more fair sized machete, a .22 pistol, and an M1 Garand are by far better weapons. - chewbacca77, on 10/30/2007, -0/+21How did he get "shoulderpads" but not "mitts?"
- boomqweeshaa, on 10/26/2007, -2/+23dugg for use of a cricket bat on zombies
- swanny89, on 10/26/2007, -0/+20Ahhhhhh! He's one of them! Kill him!
- Wendigo6x3, on 10/31/2007, -0/+18yeaaaaaaa boyyyyyyyyyy
- awtripp, on 10/26/2007, -3/+20Not Ironic. Coincidental.
Irony != Coincidence - portwojc, on 10/26/2007, -1/+17Needs better shotgun shells than 7 1/2's. You're not hutting wabbits.
- NeoCortex, on 10/26/2007, -0/+16Just remember to save that last one for yourself.
- hansk, on 10/26/2007, -1/+16i think he means chicago has a high crime rate and you need a gun/knife and shield with you.
- willjeffery, on 10/26/2007, -1/+15Don't forget to barricade yourself in your local pub!
- FoolsRun, on 10/26/2007, -0/+14That, sir, is a spectacular idea.
- leadingzero, on 10/26/2007, -1/+15Oh, I get it. That's from that game, right?
- vsujohn2, on 10/26/2007, -1/+14Well you're gonna be ***** if you do what he did, he was just making it for fun. Once the real zombies come around I'm gonna want a real god damn shotgun
- thcobbs, on 10/26/2007, -1/+14No kidding... The shotgun is all plastic, all the shells have already been fired, and I'm betting that knife will stand up to two swings at most.
- keyboardduder, on 10/26/2007, -3/+1610 or so rounds of ammo? Make it count, resident evil-style. Make sure to wait until the zombie gets real close to you. Once hes close enough, shoot the shotgun in the air. His head will blow off.
- MarkOfTheDead, on 10/26/2007, -0/+13No blue? Lemme guess, still illegal?
- genconkeeper, on 10/26/2007, -0/+13Ah .....gas
- GREEDOnvrFIRED, on 10/26/2007, -1/+14Bush does NOT need one of these kits. Zombies hunger for brains.
- KingGorilla, on 10/26/2007, -0/+13an entire army if you can work that machete
- miketherazor, on 10/31/2007, -0/+13You'd better use 00 Buck shot. That 7 1/2 bird shot is just going to piss them off.
- nbcaffeine, on 10/26/2007, -2/+14How do you know?
- FoolsRun, on 10/26/2007, -0/+11A machete is not necessarily the best choice here. The goal is to remove the head or destroy the brain, and it's gonna take a lot of hacking to get through the skull of a zombie before they bite you. Give me an aluminum baseball bat over a blade of any kind.
I realize I'm in disagreement with Max Brooks on this, but I feel strongly about it. - Chubs879, on 10/26/2007, -0/+11Where's the most valuable zombie killing weapon: the crowbar? Not as fragile as a machete, and easier to handle. I'd have both a crowbar and a machete, and some sort of sheathed knife.
On top of that food rations are essential, the shotgun almost too much firepower, but I do like how the cover of the kit turns into a shield.
This has inspired me to make my own... - genconkeeper, on 10/26/2007, -0/+11Thanks, I don't know why no one has thought of it before.
- ncc74656m, on 10/26/2007, -0/+11Gas, which will be in desperately short supply by that time.
- dogarms, on 10/30/2007, -0/+10Even stranger, he changes the place of his colon every single line! Baffling.
- ncc74656m, on 10/31/2007, -1/+11You idiot! You should NEVER EVER set a Z on fire! They just become a walking torch for a couple hours! In an urban or even suburban environment, you can't risk that!
Gah, next to the Z's, you're the first thing I look to plug. - Senshi, on 10/26/2007, -5/+15Someone made one before and put it on Digg:
http://digg.com/offbeat_news/Picture_In_Case_of_Zo ...
But this one is much better. I planned on making one too, but I haven't gotten around to it. -
