In the "Zombiepocolypse" how would you fare?

Magnum, who's to say that the zombies are not in Canada as well? Heck, all of North America could be a zombie nation.

it not that they won't be in canada, the theory is that they'll all freeze (because they aren't smart enough to where coats or burn shit for heat) and the fluids in their heads will expand crushing their vulnerable brain at some point in the first winter, this is probably true pretty much any where north of Oregon but it'll get more likely the further i go up, i'm not talking ontario or victoria, i mean whitehorse minimum, preferably into alaska because i grew up there and know the area a bit better but just north in general, also for the same reason new mexico is a decent place to hold up, low population density when you get into the yukon/alaska plus more game animals than new mexico.

Eeerrrr, I'm not so sure about that. Ever played Resident Evil: Code Veronica? They are immune to freezing, at least indoor, exactly where you want to take refuge. I suggest you move to a fast food restaurant with all that weaponry. Your food will be ready fast enough, so you don't have to take long breaks in-between zombie-shooting action.

veronica vershmonica I'm talking physics (well really more like chemistry) here. the water in their brain would freeze crushing it OR splitting their skull open OR just crystalizing inside the individual neurons destroying the cells, either way their brain is going to be destroyed in short order, just as effective as a bullet through the brain.

No, I'm not quoting from Moby Dick (nor is my avatar from moby dick), but I should consider that next time I get around to changing avatars...

This is purely fictitious talk, so we are basing our knowledge of zombies from games, movies, books, etc. Laws of physics or chemistry do not apply here. Disconnect from reality. Evidence points out that zombies can survive artic sub-zero temperatures.

one source of evidence.
besides the laws of physics aren't going to suddenly dissapear when zombies start popping up, water is still going expand below 4 degrees C

^And because of that Alaska is a wasteland? Watch out for Polar Bear Zombies!

I'd go all Bruce Campbell on the zombies and have a chainsaw attached to my hand.

Groovy.

polar bears are pretty well isolated to the northern coast lines of alaska/canada. i'm talking northern interior, like fairbanks (well thats actually mid alaska but northern relative to most of the world), maybe hang in circle hotsprings natural source of warmth during the winter and all (probably be a few zombies there but not so many as a good gun couldn't handle), zombie moose would be a more likely threat.

hel alaska NOT being a wasteland actually makes it a good candidate, lots of game animals, good number of edible plants, shit tons of potable water and reasonably dense forest serves as a natural perimeter alert for anything larger than good sized sheep.

Fair points, I guess you'd be a survivor. I think I'll change my plan to getting some training from the president's secret agency (from RE4). Man, Leon can kick even crazy villagers' asses. Zombies won't be a prob for me.

No where to go here. I can't drive across the bay to Oakland, there'll be too many ghetto zombies. Thug and gangster zombies, now that's scary. I'd stay and wait to be nuked.

To make the ultimate zombie killing weapon, I would get two double barrel shotguns, and taped them together, Phantasm-style.

I'd arm myself with a custom made flame thrower, load on as many harsh chemicals I could find, and prepare to melt my way out of the approaching mass of the undead. Bastards have got to be combustible and soluble, undead or not.

I'd log onto the Internet and check the Shmups Forums for the answer...

I would run around madly trying to have sex with as many beautiful girls as possible.

Exactly the same as now then.

In 15 minutes I could easily be on the highway headed west (to the country) with all my firearms, ammo, reloading supplies, and liquid/food. I can get on the highway about 1 block from my house by driving through the park and a field. There's no wall. Probably also take a bunch of plastic containers and some house-chemicals (chlorine/bleach/ammonia etc). Toss em all in the bed of the truck and go.

The bigger question would be gas. I can go about 250-300 miles before I'm gonna need to refill. I'm guessing the gas stations would be fubared. Better take that syphon hose too.

All the forest preserves around my area (there are a ton) have water fountain pumps.

It'd suck to be alone though.

Maybe UFO's answer of disguising one's self as a zombie is a better idea. Just roll around in some rotting beef for a while, Lay on the green spray paint, and moan about "must eat braaaaains" alot. You'll fit right in!
