Can the Machines Fight the Undead?

They are emotionless, unflinching, they fear nothing on this Earth, they do not complain when given an order, or do they fear their own demise. They are but machines. Truly that is all a robot is, a machine, perhaps extremely complex and expensive, perhaps intelligent and capable of telling the difference from friend or foe, they are nevertheless machines.

Five Things to Consider When Preparing Your Zombie Defense Base

Five Things to Consider When Preparing Your Zombie Defense Base

In warfare it has often been said that it is best to make the enemy fight your fight. One old adage is that it takes ten attackers to defeat a single defender, and when the hordes of the undead walk this will be as true as ever.

Though the idea of having the undead treading on your very doorstep may not seem appealing, it is many times better than having them feast on your entrails. However, to truly allow you and those who hold up with you a fighting chance, you must do more than simply lock the door, shut the windows, and stand on the roof waving a burning torch, there will be much to be done to prepare a defense that will allow you to defeat the enemy upon your door step.

Diary of the Dead Official Trailer


Though the staff here normally sticks to strictly informational posts, and attempts to refrain from reviewing Hollywood’s attempt at informing the public about the pending zombie outbreak, it is difficult to argue against posting a George A. Romero project.  Many consider his projects more documentaries than fiction as he has an uncanny insight into the realm of the undead.

Of note in the trailer, is the comment “I think it is time to leave this place.” Which could spark debate about your zombie plan and how and when going mobile would be the best idea.  We would love to hear your opinions about the trailer and what type of world we might find ourselves in after the attack.

5 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Apocalypse Could Actually Happen

Zombie Apocalypse

As awareness of the coming tides of darkness spreads, so do logical and scientific studies which support what we have known all along.  A zombie outbreak in the future is not avoidable.  There will be no Nobel award for a clever movie about how to reverse the effects of a zombie outbreak.  All that we have, all that we must cling to, is the knowledge available and our desire to survive at all costs.

Thanks to Kevin for pointing us toward a wonderfully prepared study by David Wong and TESloth, who offer up “5 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Apocalypse Could Actually Happen“.

Undead Weather

Believe it or not, scientists in Australia have recently released a study regarding weather conditions during an outbreak.

The weather is reported to take on characteristics of pre-tornado weather.  The sky is green, though not as vivid as that of pre-tornado weather.  There is an odd calm to the wind.  One unique, and controversial, characteristic released, is one that deals with a sense that you might not have considered when thinking of an outbreak.  That sense is smell.  After pouring over documented cases of outbreaks and interviewing survivors who were willing to participate in the study, scientists also believe that in addition to a greenish sky, oddly calm wind conditions, that there is also a unique smell associated with an outbreak.  The smell has only been related to that of food burning in the kitchen.

“It is an odd comparision, we understand,” stated one of the scientists, “yet, after our interviews we found this to be consistent across the board of those who survived an outbreak.  The smell can be compared to something burning on the stove.  It is not said to be overpowering, but it is quite noticable.”  When asked about the possible cause of the smell, the scientists would not speculate.  They did however feel that it centered around the brain being reactivated and the body moving after being dead.

Friends, this information could save your live.  Stay informed.  Stay safe.  Stay alive.
