Re: Walking Dead
In a zombie apocalypse such as walking dead the military should have been able to hold their own, maintain order and do sweeps to kill off the walkers. I just dont see how a properly trained/equipped army couldnt handle zombies once the initial WTF first contact was over.
Yes I know its justa show and zombies dont exist, well braindead people are everywhere but they arent considered zombies.

Re: Walking Dead
Thats one thing that always bugs me about the Walking Dead. They get so close to the walkers and have zombie guts and fluids splashing all over the place and they don't seem to mind one bit. Like Daryl re-using his dirty crossbow arrows. Its like, do you really want dirty zombie infected sharp objects strapped to your back? I wouldn't.
If you did wear a hazmat suit, would zombies still be able to smell you?? Or would they not know and leave you alone?
I'm thinking the opposite. I'm thinking you'd want to engage zombies from as far away as possible. If you're in close range combat, you're probably already dead. All that blood and fluids flying around as you shoot them with a shotgun? Pretty much instant infection.
Some really good body armour / hazmat suit would be a good start, but any close quarter stuff with zombies should be defensive and escape-oriented. That's been my experience, having watched an awful lot of zombie movies.

Re: Walking Dead
We could probably make a "killing" training people for the Zpoc.
Start a Wacko survivalist training facility since it's been more popular than ever as of late.
Even Gerber was cashing in at the Shotshow this year as was nearly every other "respectable" company...
Is there an application form?

Re: Walking Dead
Think that we could get idiots declared zombies? It would make my commute a damned-sight less complicated, If I could just cap 'em.

And think of the benefits to world over-population if there were an idiot cull. That video was quite the compilation.

Re: Walking Dead
Think of how superior human genetics would be when all the idiots are dead. Darwin wins!

I frequently refer to the Darwin Awards as either "intellectual Darwinism" or "survival of the less stupid."

Re: Walking Dead
back on topic!!
I've started to refer to this show as "talking dead". I am seriously getting sick and tired of constant bickering and BS....and last weekends episode...WTF was that kid thinking? In what right mind do you do what he did. When the show relies on characters stupidity to continue is when i stop watching it.

I've taken to rooting for who's going to die next. One down; two to go.

Re: Walking Dead
Another note on survival gear... Yes, there would be a difference between dealing with fast zombies or slow zombies. With the slow ones, you focus on precision and stealth. By the way, blunt braining instrument FTW like a hammer FTW. With fast zombies, you'd want stopping power and maybe even rapid fire, so you'd rely more on larger calibers and probably heavy blades as opposed to blunt instruments.

...well Shane is a no brainer since he shouldn't have lived this long anyway.
He should be gone by the end of this season.

Re: Walking Dead
I agree. I don't like him, but the amount of 'love him'/'hate him' dialogue I've seen indicates he's compelling from an advertiser/viewer # vantage point.

Re: Walking Dead
I thought about that as well. But then most times when blood hits open air any viruses in it become innate. I would still be worried though.
