Shambling vs. Sprinting, Which One is Worse?

    It's rather a no-brainer, no pun intended, sure, shambling zombies are scary and in shear numbers they can be a huge problem, but it's the infected of "Zombieland" and "28 Days Later" (Surprisingly, technically not a zombie movie), that would be the greatest threat, mainly because they would be much much faster than you could ever hope to be on foot, and their hard to get around in tight spaces. The only problem I have with sprinting zombies is not the fact that sprint (because anything that is designed to chase after something and not feel pain is bound to go as fast as possible), it's the fact that sprinting zombies would not last that long before their body would wear down and not work as well, and maybe they would eventually  become shamblers, either way, the odds are not in your favor.

About Me

I'm Dylan Hendricks, 15 years old and yes, slightly obsessed with zombies, but honestly, if the apocalypse were to happen I'd most likely be the first to die. Basically that's all you need to know.

The Reality Of The Apocalypse

    Long story short, it's not as long as you might think. If you take the undead as just that, then it should be clearer to see that the undead apocalypse would not take years to end. The classic zombie is a reanimated corpse that gets up and kills humans. They decay just like corpses do and will keep going as long as they have a brain. Well it only takes about 20-50 days for a human to decompose. If a zombie were to be reanimated at midnight on December 31st, it would decompose to a useless form (even for a zombie) somewhere in between January 20th and March 1st or 2nd depending on if it's a leap year. With these numbers it means that the first outbreak would last about a year. The rest would consist of lone survivors or communities that were too weak or too stupid to watch those who are sick and dying and put them down if they do rise. The new world would be a fearful one, but it would not take years to reach it. Feel free to comment your opinion or even suggest new posts.

A Weapon's What You Make of It

        Odds are that if you're like me, in a zombie apocalypse, you'll probably be dead before you even have a chance to kill a single one of them. Your less likely to die because the creature lurking after you is a friend or relative but instead more off you were either gung ho or stupid with your choice of weapon. Like the title states, a weapon is truly what you make of it, which can render classic weapons useless and the obscure ones powerful. When you think of a zombie killing weapon, what do you usually think of? A gun? Or a sword? Possibly a chainsaw? Well there are several problems you can run into with any weapon, mainly physical limitations. Let's start off with a gun, first of, it's noisy, and secondly, unless you've actually had fire-arms training of some sort, odds are, you're dead, not to mention the fact that guns are reduced to the usability of a rock if you're out of bullets. Now on to a sword, you run into the same problem with a sword that you do with a gun, lack of training and possibly lack of good aim. If you're dealing with a classic zombie, have fun trying to stab it in the head or trying to decapitate the thing without a couple or so swings and misses. Finally, the iconic chain-saw, in all, it's loud, it's heavy, and most of all short range, and that's not even considering the fact that you'll make a rather bloody mess all over everything if your actually able to cut through a zombie in time. Well there could be worse choices of weapons, like a flame-thrower, seriously, if the dead don't care about missing a limb, then why the heck would they be afraid of being burned, they'll just end up burning with them. Back to my original point about the obscure being useful, instead of a sword, use a shovel, they're larger, can be used as a blunt and sharp weapon, and can cleave the head of a zombie off it's shoulder's if it's lying on the ground, not to mention it doesn't need reloading nor is it noisy, and it doesn't take too much skill to use. As ridiculous as it would look, the obscure weapons like a shovel will keep you safer then most other weapons would. Feel free to comment on what you believe or even what you might think is a good post apocalyptic weapon.

First Post! (╯° °)╯︵ ┻━┻

     Well, this is my first post on the blog, and as you can clearly tell it's definitely about unicorns. Yeah, i know, you can cut the sarcasm with a knife.It's about the undead, you know, zombies. I'm a huge fan of The Walking Dead, and zombies in general so why not create a blog about it.
      That's all, now table flips you...
