Tale

I'm creating this so we can stop derailing Aram's thread. This is for general discussion about zombie combat, planning, and the future of the war on the undead. I said in the other thread that we had a manageable zombie encounter here a week (and a half) ago that turned into tragedy. It wasn't someone's use of fire that caused that tragedy. No, it was lack of education. My college teaches no courses on zombie survival or combat. We have attacks occur every year and a half to two years, but we treat it like fire safety. With guns in cabinets and diagrams. But, we don't educate, the most powerful tool in dealing with zombies. It's kind of ridiculous. The outbreak we had two years ago pretty much eradicated the entire student body, but the biggest prevention step we take is to arrest kids with incense in their dorms because they might be performing voodoo. For crying out loud! We need real education courses. We need the school and governments to sponsor and encourage these courses. I've tried holding a few free courses to teach those that I can, but the only people ever interested are the handful of survivors of recent attacks, and even they are only interested for a limited time. It's because zombie attacks are always dismissed as flukes. But, then a year and a half later another pops up. I've been here five years and a half and I've encountered three such attacks. People are so uneducated about the dangers of these things that at every single attack, the local fraternities start thinking it's a great hazing opportunity. And then our football team suffers.

But a flame-thrower is prettier and would get more. All you need is a bit of gasoline and some styrofoam and a pressure sprayer. Flamethrowers are one of the worst weapons you can use against the living dead. Not only do zombies take a long time to burn completely, but in the meantime, instead of having a horde of man-eating zombies trying to break down your gate, you have a horde of flaming man-eating zombies trying to break down you gate. That's genuinely one of the most common rookie mistakes when dealing with zombies. I've seen quite a few guys go down that way. Just last week during finals, there was a zombie outbreak on campus. Someone decides to use a zippo and some hairspray! The one benefit of being attacked by flaming zombies is you're less likely to come back as a zombie yourself if you catch, too. I've also heard reports that some students where holding the stairwell in our GAB building. It wasn't a giant outbreak and I think they could have held there, but not so much when the flaming zombies enter the building. One person turned a manageable zombie encounter into a tragedy just because he insisted on using fire.

We either swear on the bible to not make a fuss or just pass up on religious texts altogether.

You can have it. Good luck conserving ammo and getting headshots with that thing. Even if you saw a zombie in half, you've just made the zombie harder to see.

I saw first 30 minutes of it. It was enough. I read the wiki on it, should have stopped there.

Saw Eragon, if there's been a more forgettable flick this year I don't remember it.

Obviously you know nothing of zombie survival. Guns are nice and all for killing zombies, but they're loud. That thing will just draw more zombies! Guns are the only way to kill zombies. If you get close enough to melee them, they're close enough to melee you. And zombies don't get tired. Yes, but you do have limited ammo. Is it really wise to kill a few zombies with a gun, when you're going to attract 10x their number? First choice is always escape. Since it sounds like Aram lives rurally, it might be a better idea to shack up at his house than I initially presumed. Okay, so in case of zombie attack, we're all going to Aram's house.

I heard about a Progress Quest sequal for the PS3.

I have X3 and love it. Can't wait for enough free time to finish the new Bali G missions and get all my nice new ships and headquarters! I need to figure out where I'm going to place that dang thing. Somewhere out of the way I can claim as mine or somewhere public that is well protected. Probably Argon Prime.

Survival but not always mine.

Star Wars Galaxies was great once upon a time for the reasons that EVE is considered great now. The community and its interactions. There was spies and intrigue. Fame and infamy. Politics, griefing, a mass of stories to tell from characters across the galaxy. The kind of thing that turns a game into a world of its own. A world that you could be a part of, that you helped to build in more ways than just dropping down a house. A world with a developing history. Technical flaws aside, it was great for its time. That time is gone.

I haven't. Good luck to them!

I want to go on record saying thank you, Nartwak. I'm already on Trilby's Notes.

I knew this had to be tied to the woot offer.

Steam is really hitting it off.

Free point and click adventure games? Don't have to beat me over the head. You can and that would be okay, but you don't have to.

Sure, you can. You can blame anyone for anything. War in Iraq? *points at Spider* Let's give it a try. THOSE GS BASTAGES ARE RUINING THE CONCEPT OF RPGS! rabble rabble

And here I had a friend swearing Capcom gave Nintendo RE exclusivity (something which was claimed before but backed out on).

In response to the topic, I'm currently playing. NWN2 Toolset Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption Battlefield 2142 Final Fantasy XII Occasional bouts of Dawn of War: Dark Crusade I'm also reading The Silent Blade by R.A. Salvatore. And watching Firefly. After which I'll probably watch Farscape in its entirety.

Good luck! I've tried, oh god I've tried. I have all of them sitting at my apartment and I've at least played each of them, just never finished. Heck, for 1,3, and 4 I haven't even saved. Really? Why? I've beaten all 4 before, just never in an ordered set like I have with Resident Evil. I don't handle stress very well. I can't play horror games for long stretches of time. When I played 2 I was on a good roll and could have beaten it, but got sidetracked. 1,3, and 4 I only played to "try them out" and was too scared to continue.

Some people found what they've done with the game fun. I know two people who did for a time. Checking out the trial is the only way to really know. Though most people will suggest just staying away from it.
