Are you are survivor or just Zombie chow? Take the
test (http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=5349989821747660792).


I scored 62% and survived!

I took the test and then the site stopped working before it gave me the results. I then tried about a half hour later and the site doesn't work. I did so want to test my Zombie Survival Skills...possibly later.

Maybe they got deluged. I will check it again later see what's happening.

Trek, your posting crashed the site.  I'm getting a 503 error.

I just took the test and got a 73% and survived. Take that zombie trash (http://www.websmileys.com/sm/violent/sterb317.gif) (http://www.websmileys.com/sm/violent/sterb313.gif)

Official Survivor
Congratulations! You scored 74%!  
Whether through ferocity or quickness, you made it out. You made the right choice most of the time, but you probably screwed up somewhere. Nobody's perfect, at least you're alive.  
__________________________________________

I know where I screwed up, it was my compassion for others and not just leaving them behind...damn me and my compassion...(right)

70%... and I'm not even a zombie guy!
-Ed

77%, I kept the friend but ditched the last three people on the roof.

I got 72% which isn't too bad considering that the abundance of weapons in this country pales in comparison to those in the US, but I think I should score extra points for actually knowing where the nearest gun shop is to me: there ain't many around in general, and I've actually put thought into what I would do if Zombies ran amuck in my area. [I think I've been watching too many zombie movies]

Out of curiousity, what weapons did people choose for the last question?  Personally I went for the baseball bat: it's solid, reasonably quick to use, and we have about 3 in the house at the moment.  I also ditched the last three people on the roof, but threw them arms [though this was assuming I had stocked up on pretty much everything as per my answers for the rest of it.]  I also shot the friend, though in hindsight that was probably a really mean thing to do.

I scored 60% and barely survived....I'm so ashamed!

73%

I scored 77%

I chose the shotgun as my main weapon of choice and would wear medium armor.
A shotgun is great for stopping power but definitely is lacking when it comes to ammo capacity.  You've got 2 shots at most before you must reload, assuming you're using a double barrel Remington.  A pump action shotgun would be better if you could get your hands on one but it has a longer reload time.
That, and shotgun shells aren't exactly small either.
And I would keep at least 3-5 assorted handguns on my person at all times.
I'd want those pistols near in case I had to drop the boomstick in a hurry.

For the final weapon I chose the machette as I figured it would be fun to hack your way through zombies. The bat is probably better as you can kill them with blunt force to the head.
I've stockpiled at home just in case there is ever an uprising of zombies in my area. I've got the weapons that are needed. Handguns for close combat and as back-up, shotgun for general use, semi-autos for when you just want to throw lots of lead around, and a few fitted with scopes for the long range zombie hunting that you may encounter in open areas. However, as I have seen from this test, I am completely unprepared for a zombie attack as my compassion will be my undoing...(http://www.smileys.ws/sm/action/00000032.gif)

(http://www.smileys.ws/sm/cheeky/00000021.gif)

I chose the bat, figured you can nail them and stay a reasonable distance away from them.  What I would really like to have in this case is a sharp axe with a nice oak handle, I've chopped on enough logs and such that I can put that blade right where I want it.

If such a scenario came to pass it would definitely spawn some creativity on the part of those dispatching the undead.  
(http://www.websmileys.com/sm/violent/sterb269.gif)

The only thing that saved me was just throwing the unarmed folks some weapons and leaving them. It bothered me though, so I guess I have the same problems with compassion for others.

59%
Next time, it's every man for himself.
I chose the machete--there's something about that visceral "thwuck!"  sound to the head that gives me  a warm all-over feeling.

Yea, I also recieved a 59% and barely survived. Well I'll have to thank Andrew and Badmovies.org for surviving at least the written test. With all the zombies films I've seen I should have scored better. : )

I chose the picth fork as I wanted to take them out with out getting contaminated by the blood. Keeping them at a distance while poking them in the head. It would work like a bullitt wouldn't it? I mean it's the same concept as a bullit to the head.



Post Edited (09-28-05 10:02)

I thought about the pitchfork but then realized, "What if I stabbed a zombie with it and it got stuck in its head and I couldn't pull it out?"
That situation would be even worse if I were battling multiple zombies coming at me.

Hey, besides the axe I have one of those sling blades (sometimes called a kaiser blade). I don't believe I've seen one of those in a Zombie movie. It would be good at decapitating them, but it would depend on the type zombie as to whether that would stop them.

That little quiz actually gave me some zombie movie ideas. Regarding things that haven't been done in the genre yet.

I thought the same thing too ASH and the machette too getting stuck. I choose the bat myself.

I used a bo staff for my last weapon. I still haven't gotten used to the new breed of zombies roaming around Hollywood who are quick, smart, and can run fast. My zombies are Romero zombies who stumble around like lobotomy patients. They seem easy to push to the side with a staff and would most likely fall down because of an utter lack of coordination. A baseball bat wouldn't be enough force to debilitate zombie after zombie, and a machete would get tiring while on the run. So I went with a more subtle approach utilizing the chi or my body and acting the yang to the zombie's yin. Oh yeah, I'm incorporating kung fu movies into zombie defense.

I also left the surrounded people for dead, hoping that maybe they didn't see my caravan of pickups approaching, and so never realizing they might have had a chance at living. And no, at this point in life, God isn't watching. I don't have to worry about overt morals- just about keeping myself zombie free. Though I suppose even I'll turn into a zombie in time.... damn voodoo curse.

Well, the baseball bat is certain a good choice in a lot of situations. Not sure if this would stop a zombie unless the head came off I suppose.  What about the splash that the impact of a baseball bat might make?

Actually why does a bullitt to the head stop a zombie? It's all dead tissue.

Why does a zombie even need a head?

Re-animated by chemicals? Ok, but the head (brain?) doesn't have anything to do with it.

Just what makes them zombies tick? There must be a way to stop them ! ! !

I think this subject demands further attention.............................

I got 77%.
Used a machette as the last weapon, it's the only thing that could decapitate a zombie, so that it couldn't bite you (I'd prefer a samuri sword, but that wasn't an option)
Baseball bat, you'd spend too much time hurting each zombie.  Pitchforks get stuck.
Threw some guns to the last 3 people.  At least they'll keep some zombies occupied while I get out.
Iced my friend.  He's a friend so I'm not going to use him as bait, but there's no chance to keep him from being a zombie, better to get it over with quick.
I probably should have saved the five people, there's strength in numbers, that's the one thing I'd do differently.

Chi wasn't even attempted in the film KUNG FU ZOMBIE !  What makes you think you could do it Scottie? As Kenneth Cohen says in his book THE WAY OF QIGONG  "the dead have no Chi", not that you couldn't attract or repulse zombies and other objects with your Chi. : )

What did everyone pick as a vehicle. I picked School bus because I thought I might have to drive through hordes of zombies.

I picked pickup.  Schoolbuses are too big, zombies might climb aboard.  Though if I had a buch of other people, who were armed. . .

I got 55% and survived, barely. I picked the machete for its decapitation power over the baseball bat (though I think I'd rather emulate Uncle Les from Dead Alive and go through hordes of them with two cleavers. If I couldn't find a lawn mower, that is). For my vehicle, I chose a pickup for its offroad capability and its cargo area. As for my friend, I used him as bait, but only because he'd be noble like Ed from Shaun of the Dead (whether he wanted to be or not). I tried to help people throughout.

I think I'll go back and try being utterly ruthless and see what happens.

I choose the pick up. Its a well round for carrying stuff and off road just in case.

My philosphy was that if they don't have, say legs, then its much easier to get away.  All my choices were based on that.  Flame guns an option?
-Ed

An armada of school buses could cover most of the same terrain as a pick up, more ammo, food, fuel, flamethrowers, dynamite, and people to help...................and it good for getting through hordes of zombies !

Also some of the extra people could grab some pick-ups and a motorbike could be strapped to the top of the bus along with some life rafts.

It's Road Warrior vs Zombies...................................

Uh-oh...Don't mention Road Warrior...

Road Warrior is  up there with the "V" word....................

Apparently I am a survivor.  I have to say, I can do a lot of damage with a bat, but any good machete I can think of would work well.  If I really had a choice of hand to hand weapons, I would go for a Katana.  Nearly a perfect slicing weapon and easily able to remove some arms from the pesky buggers.

I probably lost points for not leaving people who were surrounded alone.  Unless the situation were hopeless, I would have to give it a try.

You all saw 28 Days where the one dude gets infected by a drop of blood in the eye? That is why my concern for using "messy" weapons on Zombies.

The reason I used the pitchfork is because I could make a poke and relatively distant zombie kill with less risk for contamination. : ) Which takes me back to the head shot question.

I had already picked up some riot gear earlier and those include a face shield.  But figured (if anything), I would keep my mouth closed and my bare minimum safety gear would be a set of goggles.

Oh, ok. In that case Andrew we can swing away........................ : )

They taught us early in shop class to always wear goggles and this would be the perfect senario. It didn't come to mind, but now it's becoming clearer to me.

Didn't Day of the Dead answer the whole 'why you shoot them in the head' question?

Something along the lines of primitive brain impulses in the centre of the brain being the last to get infected.  Therefore all the zombie's movements are instinctual, such as finding food [ie warm flesh] even if they don't need nourishment.  Take out the brain, and bye bye zombie.

So I guess the pitchfork does the same thing, concept wise, though I'd prefer to just beat the zombies out of the way and run rather than methodically poking zombies in the head with a pitchfork.  But then again, it could be kinda fun in a controlled circumstance.

Anyway, I also chose the bus, figuring that if I've rescued a few people and armed them, there was no sense in packing a carfull of people with no moving space into a car or SUV.  The bus allows the passengers a bit of room [that way if one person turns, or a zombie gets inside, there is room to get outta the way and start blasting] and they are pretty big, well some are, so it would be hard for the average zombie to be able to climb up its sheer walls to get to the windows [I'm going on the buses we have here though, in which the windows are pretty high up]  I guess the only problem I can think of with a bus is petrol and slow manuverabilty.

Don't worry about that Dean. Get that bus some space and speed and you should do fine with the bus.

I'll have to watch DAY OF THE DEAD again. It was my least favorite of the Romero Zombie films.

What vehicle did you use Andrew?



Post Edited (09-28-05 21:27)

I got 77%, with a pick-up and a machete at the end. Oh yes, I dynamited my friend (no need to get sentimental) and rescued everyone in sight (numbers count)

Did you REALLY pick up riot gear?

And I thought I was a survivalist!
LOL!!

Woohoo! I scored 86% and did better than 95% of people my age and gender. Got out with my whole party alive. Armed and dangerous!

Nice work, you touched on a lot of the basic reasons why I hate the zombie genre. I have to think if such a thing ever actually happened, all the fans of zombie movies would get caught up in acting out their favorite movie scenes and end up cold meat.

I took the test and I got a 74% and "somehow" made it out okay. If you're in a area full of zombies, don't screw around... get the hell out! Not to sound cold-hearted, but isn't the numero uno mistake people make in every zombie flick stopping to help those who are already screwed? If you drop them a firearm, they can shoot you or whatever you're flying in down! Jeez...

It won't let me take it!

When I try and go onto the third page I get kicked off.

DAMN IT!

I'd pass no doubt about it!

I got 83%.

Try it now, Dave...seems to be working ok. But listen, I expect you to come back with at least a 95%. Anything less from you and I will have to consider it failure.

I don't take ZOMBIE films seriously, so I do get to enjoy them, but who is this guy making up the test and why are his answers correct? : ) At least it was a fun test.

I got 79..... don't know quite where i skrewed up. I'll put in some more answers till I get 100%. You know, it would be good if someone did an experiment played with paintball guns that would determine the survival rate for a real zombie attack. Just give everybody in a small town paintball guns and tell them they're going to be practicing for a terrorist attack. Then, zombies! It would work brillianty. or not. they may acctually have to be ready for the zombies so they'd know how to react to certain things. Whatever.

Okay! You talked me into taking the test.

I survivied with a score ot 53%. I may not know my guns, but I'm fast on my feet and a fast thinker.

Now, bring on those zombies!

As a side note, has anybody actually handled a machete? I asked, because I got a chance to handle my first one, some three months ago. I was out in the Mexican jungle, on a 4 x 4, and they had one in the 4 x 4. Man! Machetes are big. And they are heavy. I needed two hands to pick it up.

Then you must not have gotten a typical machete. They are usually long, but quite light. Granted, I doubt a typical machete would last very long if you were using it to dismember zombies; they're mostly used to clear light brush. Now an Indian Kukri knife, that would be a different story; the large version of those are supposed to be able to behead a buffalo. Some people do use those, or a version of them, at least, to chop wood.

Must not have, Derf. Because I remember this one being at least three feet long and  very heavy. Either that, or I am very weak. LOL! Anyway, thank you for the reply.

Online games aren't really my thing, but if they're your's then check this out.

Urban Dead (http://www.urbandead.com/)

I got 80% and survived.

Of course.

*BAM!*

73%.  Watch zombie movies and don't make the same bulls**t mistakes as they do!
