Hah! Maybe that guy was right, these things kinda are fun to kill. I think that's just cause they're so creepy, though. Like I'm actually doing this weird little world we're in a favor, not just killing things to try and avoid becoming one. [Not like at home where you had to accept the fact that the zombies weren't undead demons of the night, but ( Read more... )

You have previous experience with zombies?
Or have more of our stalwart companions fallen so far than I realized, and you've been forced to watch each gristly demise?

[text] zombiefree December 7 2011, 22:25:42 UTC

yeah, I do. I mean, I have experience from home. these zombies are different but they're just as dangerous.

I hadn't really considered the reanimated departed to ever be a thing that was real.
Not outside of gaming abstractions, at least.
I'm being forced to reevaluate that, of course, but it's still strange to think of them as being 'real.'
If you don't mind humoring my curiosity, how are they different?

Well, these zombies are slower. And I don't think they're sick, I think they're just ..undead. Which is weird. But makes it less difficult to take them out.

Oh, thanks for the warning, miss, I've just woken up and my expression is always rather vacant in the mornings. Remind me to avoid you.

Are you saying you're some sort of expert at this?

[voice] zombiefree December 7 2011, 22:28:55 UTC

I wasn't kidding around when I was talking about how empty my world is. [There's two more gun shots.] These things are the reason why.

[voice] atrumcanis December 7 2011, 22:38:02 UTC

[...oh. He considers that a moment.]

Eurgh, what a lovely world. Are they always so determined to sell things, or is that a particular defect of this place?

[voice] zombiefree December 7 2011, 22:46:10 UTC

Hey, judgy, it's not like we were into the whole zombie thing, it just happened. But no, yeah, these zombies are... special. [She's not even going to try and explain the whole computer game thing.]

I'm not all that versed in zombie stories, but as far as I know they're supposed to be slow. It's the numbers that are the problem.

Of course, nothing about this place seems to follow the rule of "supposed to."

The zombies I'm used to are runners. Sprinters, actually. But they're not undead that have risen from the grave or anything, so. I guess they're not zombie-zombies. They just act like them.

[Video] whistleconcert December 10 2011, 18:24:01 UTC

And as far as I can tell, the ones here are the "risen from the grave" kind. [It's really the only reason he can kick them around.]

I'd hate to see what these things could do if they were fast.
