It is a $30 one, and yes it would. so:p

The skull is one of the hardest organic materials humans know of, if not the hardest material.

It depends on how it starts. If you are lucky enough to deal with the initial carrier before it have infected anyone and dispose of it successfully, then that's the end of it. But situations can escalate quickly into a class one or two outbreak, especially since (based upon the Solanum Virus model) it can take nearly 24 hours from initial infection to reanimation, so you may find zombies continue to emerge for some time after the event, perhaps regaining a foothold. But it always starts with a single creature, be it your basic class one or apocalyptic class 4 incident, since the natural origin and residence of the virus is unknown.

Exactly. There's no way of knowing how it could start. It's very possible to go to sleep with no zombie in sight, and wake up in a class 2 outbreak, if not a class three.

It would vary, wouldn't it? Depending on what kind of people were infected.

Obviously zombies are like humans in that they vary. Taller people would have bigger strides, shorter ones could get into places that have low headroom, etc. etc.

The ravenous antagonists in 28 days Later were not zombies, they're "crazies". They are infected with the synthetic pseudo-virus "Rage", developed by scientists who infected chimpanzees in an effort to find a cure for rage and anger in human beings.

I absolutely hate it when people just go off and start saying that they're zombies, despite the fact that the word "Zombie" was never said once.

yup
 
Actually yes, you're right - they call them 'the infected' throughout the film. Excellent film though...

Nemo 04-13-2007 02:50 AM

Indeed, can't wait for the sequel.

kotoreru 04-13-2007 10:14 AM

A sequel?!

skillyaslig 04-13-2007 02:50 PM

Ah yes, the rage filled '28 days later' crazies...Like the reavers from Serenity...Those ones were fast, smart and knew how to use fire-arms (reavers)...Hopefully if we ever get plauged(?) by Zombies/crazies they'll be stupid and slow...

What happens to a zombie if it's heart explodes?

Nothing, I suppose. It doesn't need to breath, so it doesn't need to circulate oxygen-rich blood to any parts of its body.

Zombies can only be killed by destroying the brain. You could chop off the head, but even though the body will just collapse, the head will still snap at you. You'll still have to smash it or toss it in a fire.

That's the brilliance of the Solanum virus. It makes the brain into a completely self-sustaining unit. It only needs the body for mobility and grabbing food.

Or pierce it.
If you've ever seen Goerge Romero's "Day of the Dead," there's a scene where scientist shows someone a zombie that he has taken all the organs out of, even the sensory organs. He left the brain it, and was able to feed electricity in it, and make it move it's arms and what not.

Seeing as how I've based the narrator of Zombi Siege is based upon myself, go read the story to see my view on things.

Blatant thread hijacking. Wow.

skillyaslig 04-14-2007 08:03 PM

There is quite a few zombie things; Dawn of the dead, night of the living dead, day of the dead etc...

kotoreru 04-15-2007 12:43 PM

I'm unashamedly bumping this thread because I just found a link to one of the funniest/sickest zombie comics ever:

Warnink: MASSIVELY UNSUITABLE FOR CHILDREN AND/OR WORK.

Nemo 04-15-2007 07:23 PM

A day counts as bumping?

kotoreru 04-16-2007 11:32 AM

Wow you must really be used to some weird stuff if you're more concerned with my concepts of bumping threads than a zombie shagging a cow.

Hey, no. Shut up. >:P

I asked my Stepdad the same thing after seeing this topic and he said 'Well, I'd probably be a zombie too, so I wouldn't care much'.

I sort of agree with him. I'd probably be a zombie. But if I wasn't, I'd try to get away or I'd try to drive them away with loud Linkin Park (I'm not bashing Linkin Park, I like it) or I'd just let the zombies kill me. Or I'd hide for ages. I don't know.

6-finger-fred 04-25-2007 04:49 PM

I'd imagine death-by-zombie would be very painful...
I'd get all the survivors I can, go to the top of a building with guns and supplies, and when their sleeping, throw them off for the zombies :P
