Badgerz posted a message on Why you will not survive a zombie apocalypse.Let's assume that zombies can actually exist. The stereotypical dead ones that are caused by spreading a virus through biting. Also let's assume that the virus has reached a stage where many of the population is affected. Let's also ignore the flaws that zombies provide for spreading a virus or staying "alive" or even keeping the plague going. We're going to assume you're plopped right down in the middle of an infection and somehow ignored any and all signs of a spreading zombie apocalypse, let alone the government or rest of everyone.Posted in: General Off Topic
Okay. Now, let's get to insulting your false little reality.
When it comes to these scenarios, people keep assuming that they will have all the plans laid out for the perfect zombie shelter. They assume that, since they've seen every zombie movie fifty times over, they somehow have every little detail worked out. However, this just doesn't work.
You will not have all the plans worked out. You won't have the ability to just go to the nearest store, get supplies and then camp out. You have to keep in mind that hundreds, if not thousands of others have had this exact plan to stay alive. You will not have the ability to run to the nearest Wal*Mart and grab a few dozen shotguns. They're cleared out.
Well, you have a gun already? Okay. What about ammunition? Are you just going to go to the nearest store when you run out? Okay. If you have enough ammunition to let you survive forever, then you need to stop masturbating to your guns.
Same thing goes for food. You will not be able to just go to the closest McDonald's and clear out their Big Macs for nourishment. The materials are all gone. People got there before you. You're out of luck.
So you are now weaponless and foodless. Sure, you may think, "Well Badgerz, I'm quick! I can get it all before anyone else!" Well that's a cute thought. But then again, you aren't alone in a world full of zombies. You're a useless nobody in a huge town or city full of other nobodies. But those nobodies are quicker than you.
Now, people also assume that it's an easy competition of human vs zombie. Well that's not the case. There would be mass hysteria if such a virus were spread over the world and succeeding. People would riot, rob and even kill. People would see one another and destroy them. Just in case. Survival, right?
Okay, so let's say you're somehow the quickest and best person ever and are in the perfect fantasy of a zombie apocalypse. Just you and a few friends and maybe a black guy. Cool. You somehow got the supplies, the food and the weapons. Awesome. Zombie killing, right? Because no one ever thinks about of surviving. That's boring. Where is the zombie onslaughts?! Let's go murder some zombies.
Fear. People completely forget about fear. You can easily think "Lol zombie apocalypse would be SO FUN" while you're comfortable in your own bed. But keep in mind. This is permanent. Tired of living in a destroyed dead-ruled world? Too bad. This is your "fantasy". Your cute little fantasy of fun. Death is clearly an outcome. And most likely you're going to encounter it.
If you were to come across zombies, they would most likely be in a herd of other zombies. Think about 20 or more zombies running after your little group of 6 or less. I'm assuming that most of you won't know how to work a basic pistol when it comes to reloading or jamming. Bam! Bam! Bam! Oh ****. You're out. And you didn't hit a single zombie in the head. Reloading your gun won't work just by pressing the "B" button. No. You're going to have to fumble in your bag with trembling hands, take the ammo, eject the old and replace it. All in a matter of a few seconds. Or else you'll be dead. Assuming you're a master marksman, or you're in the Marines. You're not going to be able to do this. Your shot is terrible and you can't reload a gun.
Unless you're in a group of other Marines, they're going to have the same issue. So all you can do is run.
BUT BADGERZ! I can melee! I somehow have a heavy bat or sword. Awesome stuff. But the problem with melee is that it's close range. A 1 v 1 fight is plausible. But you will 20 other zombies isn't. You won't be able to go "herp derp" and flail your bat around, smacking anything near you. Just because you can do that in the games doesn't mean you can do that here. Also keep in mind that in video games, if you get smacked by a zombie all you do is lose health. Yeah. That doesn't happen in real life. If you get smacked, you get infected. If you get infected, you die.
I can keep this point going on for so long. There are so many flaws I can point out, but that would go on practically for a total of minutes. And minutes is something I can't stand when I type. Anyway, the point is. You won't live. Just because you think you can watch Dawn of the Dead or play Left4Dead, doesn't mean you can pick up a gun and go zombie hunting. You can map out your fantasies all you want, but you won't be the main character of the movie. You'll be the one that gets his head shot because he got bit. Or you'll be the wife that opens the movie out, with sharpened teeth and no eyes. You will not be the main character unless you had the proper training. Just because you can get every gun on Dead Island doesn't mean you're good with a real one.
Not to destroy your little fantasy bubble or anything, but the lack of knowledge with how things would really turn out during a zombie outbreak just annoys me. Arrogance seems to be the biggest thought when it comes to the apocalypse. "I can survive through everyone else. I'm fluent in living! Oh man. I have to check Facebook real fast. Hold on."
Besides, if there were really a zombie outbreak. The infected would just be nuked anyway. And you'd go up with them. -

P_B posted a message on -{Official Chitchat thread}-Posted in: IRC OperatorsThe great chat thread of 2011
The last thread was locked so this is a new one. The entire purpose of it is (you guessed it) to simply chat about things, in fact, anything still under the forum rules. The point of this is to keep chatting at a minimum on other threads so you don't derail and ruin them.
Introductions will also be merged here for compacting as will the video receptacle megathread. If you find anything you want to talk about, your day, your experiences, videos, images, that funny cat you saw on the internet professing its love for cheeseburgers.. this is the place to do it.
Keep all blog experiences here as well, as the Minecraft Forums aren't your personal blog, but this thread is!
And please keep it safe for work and clean folks, we don't want any lewd conversation in here of any kind, remember that the forum rules still apply, we simply can chat now on just this thread.
And remember: No doubleposts, quoteposts, 1-word posts or 18+ discussions!
Abandon hope, all who post ye.

Mislike posted a message on I just got shot...All the anti-gun sentiment in this thread makes me sad :sad.gif:Posted in: General Off Topic
My middle school (in HS now) has posters everywhere around hunting season for firearm safety classes for 12 or 13 year olds, probably 1/3 of the school population that qualifies partakes in it. Most everyone around my area hunts or shoots recreationally; I myself went to a shooting range and blew the hell out of some clay pigeons with a 12 gauge shotgun when I was 14-15.
Gun safety is pretty obvious and simple stuff, don't punish everyone for the few ****tards who screw it up :angry.gif: - To post a comment, please login.

This is basically a simpler version of minecraft. Like how it was before 1.8.1.
Because i think the hunger bar should optional, even if it gives a fun challenge to the game.
Also, i'm secretly afraid minecraft will become Second Life.

Not really, but still. i fear that it might get a little too complicated for my tastes. :<
