Are You Prepared to Fight? Of Corpse!
« on: April 01, 2010, 03:37:58 AM »

(March 31) -- The last thing you ever hear is the moaning.

By that time, they've already surrounded your home, their fingernails scratching at the walls. The moaning grows louder, like the hum of a million bees. And just as you realize what they are and your terror is almost complete, a windowpane shatters ...

I'm talking, of course, about zombies.


© Berkley Trade Paperbacks/Penguin Group
"The Zombie Combat Manual" by Roger Ma gives practical advice for ghoul extermination, with vivid illustrations by Y.N. Heller.

Where are you right now? At your home computer? In the office? Take a look around. What is the nearest thing you could use as a weapon if the undead should come shambling through your doorway? How many could you take down with it? One? Two? Five?

What if you had to fight your way through 40 zombies? Maybe you've seen a zombie movie or two, but if you had to, could you kill one today? Bravado aside, are you absolutely positive you even know how to kill a zombie?

Fortunately, you probably haven't had to deal with the sick horror of a zombie apocalypse. Yet. But help is here with a new book by Roger Ma called "The Zombie Combat Manual: A Guide to Fighting the Living Dead." In it, Ma analyzes -- in extraordinary detail -- how to prepare physically and mentally to protect yourself in a zombie outbreak, particularly an extended one that could cover weeks or even months. ...

This looks like one of the most important books of 2010, you can't be over prepared!    :-)

I was having a discussion about this yesterday with hubby.  Call of Duty has Nazi Zombies on one of the games.  In that scenerio the zombies can be killed with a knife to the chest or a body shot.  I think this is teaching the youth of our world how to die at the hands of zombies.  I think it may be a government plot too.  Everyone should know that only a head shot or the removal of the zombie's head is going to destroy it.  To think of the millions of these games sold with every one of them misinforming the players about zombie survival is horrifying!

It's a sad day when you can't rely on computer games to teach the young survival skills, perhaps this should be on every school curriculum.

I know!  And where are all of the space invader killing games anymore?  How are we supposed to know how to defend ourselves against aliens if video games don't teach us?  I weep for the future.

That would tend to indicate that it's either an (un)dead zombie, or a live DUmp monkey.  Either way, the prescribed treatment is the same: separate the head from the shoulders, and move on to the next one.   :-)

You should see Aion! The graphics are amazing. Just thinking about the computing power required to run that game hurts my head.

My brother has a PS3.  I bought a few games for him and he has a few, one being Star Wars, Modern Warfare, Grand Theft Auto and Sonic...and the only one I can play is Sonic.  I am video-game challenged.

It's always a good rule of thumb to remove the head of any psycho killer, dead or alive who's been chasing you.  :-)
