Anyone read "Zombie Survival Guide" and "World War Z?"  I'm interested to see what the do with the movie.  It's supposed to be shot similar to the Jason Bourne movies, but be much much grander in scale as in, crowds of thousands of people and such.  My college buddies and I used to have hours worth of discussion on the books.

The strategy we came up with after much debate for "best overall strategy" is, no matter where you are when disaster strikes is this:

Don't fight any zombie for any reason > Get a bicycle > bike to a fire station > take a halligan bar > escape any populated area before stopping > camp in the highest places (water tower, roof, tree).

No Guns, no monster trucks, no flame thrower, no rescued girlfriends.  Just quietly leave on a bike with a halligan bar.

My Zombie Survival plan is simple. Get supplies, get in the attic, wait for the military.

Either the military will quarantine the city, or they will nuke it. Either way, I won't be eaten.

I've read both the survival guide and WWZ. I think Brooks' writing style can be a bit hammy but I definitely enjoyed them.

As much as I'd like to say I'd be brave and heroic in the face of the zombie apocolypse, I'd probably crawl up into a ball a cry. Thankfully, there are games like Resident Evil where I can pretend I'm hardcore.

Im holding my finger crossed, that i will live to the day we get "matrix-like" games and i could participate as a survivor in zombie infested mmo. All the coolest things of zombie apocalypse without the bad things like getting eaten alive or seeing friends die...   Just my fire axe and the shamblers. "Leeeeeeeeeeeroy Jeeeeeeenkiiiiiiiiiins!!!"  ;D

Actually simple mmo concentrated on survival, supplies gathering and realism would be a blessing. Looking forward to Deadshed as well, but i hope you will not abandon Zafehouse, the system surely has potential.
