No, I don't own a shotgun.


You know, I keep thinking that after the new design team gets done with D&D 4e, D&D won't stand for Dungeons and Dragons anymore, because well, that's just not fun. It's old and stuffy. - Originally Posted by BabWryter on Kenzerco.com

Rated me at 63% despite not owning a gun or having more than a couple days of canned goods on hand....weird.


The year: 1994. From out of space comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction! Man's civilization is cast in ruin!
Two thousand years later, Earth is reborn...
A strange new world rises from the old: a world of savagery, super science, and sorcery. But one man bursts his bonds to fight for justice! With his companions Ookla the Mok and Princess Ariel, he pits his strength, his courage, and his fabulous Sunsword against the forces of evil.
He is Thundarr, the Barbarian!

Looks like I got most of them. only a few weeks worth of food, and loved ones were what brought me down.

But having plenty of weapons, knowig how  to use them, and make explosives, comes in handy.

Serves me right for trying to save loved ones (except in the case that they turn into zombies...then it's headshot city).

Not too great. Would always look out for family, and don't have a good stockpile of food. Not sure how well my semi-auto .22 would hold up against zombies. Probably give the gun to the wife, and swing for the fences with my aluminum bat.

Now, if a bunch of us gamer types were in one area working to together, I bet we'd deal with them pretty handily.

.22s are suboptimal for killing zombies. For proper zombie removal, you need to cause the head to explode. I'll stick with my semi-automatic 12-gauge and 16-gauge pump-action shotties

The Zombie Apocalypse should, theoretically, be better weathered here in Utah. A lot of people have 2 years worth of food storage and guns.

Suboptimal - how about almost useless.  Wish I had that kind of firepower.  One shot, dead zombie - plus a head shot would be easy, as zombies aren't that fast.  They're a little more strict up here in Canada with firearms.

We (Canadians) should have no problem obtaining shotguns.  'Tis the handguns that are near impossible to (legally) procure.

This is a good sell for getting my wife to agree to more wepons in the house.  A 30-06 is no pea-shooter, but I need anti-zombie power!

...and more canned stew!

I'm at 65%. Just owning a gun jumped my score but only having a couple of weeks food kept me down. I think there should be a question about the size of your arsenal, that has to make a difference!

But, I protest that score. Although I live in a moderately large city, I live right at the edge, in the mountains, so I have plenty of unpopulated wilderness to flee into. And though I don't own any guns, I have access to a military base (which is also mostly unpopulated wilderness), and I know where the guns, grenades and armored vehicles live. See, lots of relevant info that just wasn't captured by the questions.

Geez, a 41%? There's so many other factors to consider.

Like, how many of you high scoring guys would try saving your minis? That should bring your scores down a lot.

And who needs canned food when I can survive on eating zombies? Don't think I wouldn't if I had to!

And I don't need to own a gun when I can just wait for one of you guys to die and I'll pickup your gun. Maybe I'll do you a favor and shoot your newely formed zombie arse....then eat you!

Plus I've been playing Halo 3 now. By the time a zombie apocalypse happens I should have perfected my head shots.

This survey is wack!

Bah, let the minis go for one specific reason. Zombies don't eat plastic. Besides, once the lot of you are dead, I can just take yours... Plus, there will be a nice discount at the unmanned, unowned shop after it's all over.

Plus, I'll have coupon

That one's good, I came out at 71%. Keep in mind, it's based on your surviving after the Zombie apocalypse. So, after the apocalypse, could you be Mad Max. It has a few flaws as well. I'd say the first one is better, overall.
