As to explosives being dangerous in a zombie apocalypse.

in l4d it is established that the characters are immune to the infection, so getting some shrapnel with blood on it isn’t going to turn them into zeds.

other than that it was a decent post.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Nelson Mandela take on a Zombie horde. Someone could edit the L4D models and skins and make a celebrity edition; Nelson Mandela, Bruce Campbell, Mr. T and… er, damn, what woman do you think would thrive in a Zombie Invasion?

This is one of the funniest things I have ever read. I do not regret reading this instead of doing last minute cramming for my test in 44 minutes.

Then you get the mice.

And if the mice get infected: Who cares. They can’t do uch anyway.

But what if the elephants became infected? Then what, smart guy?

Gah! Like those frakking crawling zombies in Resident Evil that chomp me every single gol darn time I go by them — EVEN IF I KNOW THEY ARE THERE!!

(Mainly because the controls in RE are ass, but that’s a different rant.)

Unable to walk is meh, but unable to walk, but still able to crawl is very bad. Heck, still able to chomp is bad. I mean, standing Zeds are an obvious target. Crawling and downed Zeds…

Worse than land mines.

Damn it, if I hadn’t already put my Yearbook quotes in, I’d use something from this article. I wish I had awesome conversations like this with my friends.

Explosives are counterproductive because they 1. don’t produce hydrostatic shock in dead flesh 2. are unlikely to result in a brain-destroying injury and 3. might emit contaminated shrapnel that could possibly infect friendlies.

I think Brooks was underestimating the degree of damage capable of being caused by a grenade or – better still – a mortar or RPG. Against singular individuals a shotgun or crowbar is decidedly more productive. But explosives can take out limbs with ease. And you don’t necessarily have to kill the undead/infected adversaries. Simply rendering them unable to walk is often sufficient if you just plan to run away anyway.

There is definitely an issue concerning propelled body matter, but that’s an ongoing risk whether or not you use explosives. You think caving a zombie’s head in with a fireman’s axe isn’t going to toss around a little blood and infected brain matter?

I’ll buy Left 4 Dead if they give me stampeding elephants.

And you know, Sage is right. You guys need to put one of them on YouTube or something.

You and Flapjacks have the most interesting conversations, MGK.
