Swarms

I watched "Shaun of the Dead" today. It was pretty fucking funny. And it points something else. One zombie (and I'm talking the classic, lumbering, lurching undead, not the weird shit from 28 days later; Zombies don't run) isn't that much of a threat. They're slow, noisy, and not too bright. You could sneak up behind a lone zombie and twist his head off, or beat him with a baseball bat to, uh, even MORE death, I guess. But yeah, one zombie is just an annoyance. Something like a retarded guy with a knife. Sure, he's dangerous if you let him get too close, but it's not too hard to just safely deal with him.

No, no, the real threats are in swarms. A swarm of retarded guy's with knifes would be a reason to run. Luckily, retarded people with knifes don't have a swarming instinct. But most zombies do. So there is a pretty good chance of finding a swarm of zombies. In my experience, the only way to deal with a swarm of zombies is either to run as far as you can and trap them, or, and this is perferred, use a bomb or some sort of mass removal. Or maybe both. Yeah, that.

While a swarm of zombie is indeed scary, really, a swarm of ANYTHING would be scary. Zombies, retards, bees, rats, mongeese, regular geese, poodles, anything. My worst nightmare is to wake up and leave my dorm, only to find a swarm of furbies stationed outside the door. That would be scary. O_O!

And just cuz I wanted to show off:



Night all!
