Well that's no fun.

People of the future gonna wonder what the fuck "cancer" is....

>>Martin also made a promise to destroy all the records of his dealings with Christian, though he hasn't kept that one—at least not yet. In the back of his garage is a large plastic bin (actually, the hard-sided case of an IBM computer he bought back in 1983) stuffed with every document connected to the Guidestones that ever came into his possession, including the letters from Christian.

How about break in and steal that stuff? ~.o
It's just another kooky thing to me. But it does bring up a testy subject. When the SHTF there are going to be tons of religions and con men up to the challenge of herding the sheep.

Freaky shit! I was just reading about the earth's "Carrying Capacity" and how we are pretty much heading towards an inevitable massive population reduction somehow soon.

Sounds like the fan is turned on and the bucket of shit is waiting to be tossed in.

well... he claimed the book was supposed to be a comedy... and it was in the comedy section of my bookstore... but the way he actually wrote it wasn't that comedic. It was more like he was trying to be serious, trying to make his own little zombie-world (which he relied upon for his other book, World War Z). So... as a comedic piece, it sucked. And as >>1629 mentioned, it was pretty stupid most of the time.... whether or not you think it should be "taken seriously" the book was just plain bad.

Hmm...I read through my copy and laugh. Many, many, many times.

I guess it just depends on your outlook/experience with survival situations/etc.

I think a good deal of the humor is from the absurdity of it. This is a book about zombies, how could it possibly be serious?

Watching a boy and his dog.

About halfway through it.

Sorry I don't have too many post apoc movies for you guys.

The Day After
is one of the best post-nuke movies out there

The Postman
this is another good one to watch.

...wut?

Aren't basic shotgun rounds rather straight-forward to make?

anyway, I think the OP is drunk :p He's saying that you'll want to get hold of 9mm, 38's, 32's and 22' dear rifles as you need to consider availability. Also, collect bows/arrows because everyone else will have/want them.

The problem with bows/arrows is that people these days are pussies and can't shoot an arrow for shit, me included

Fuck the sawed-off barrel Stoeger.

Tiny pumps for the win.

With my sawed off shotgun, hand on the pump Left hand on a forty, puffin' on a blunt
Pumped my shotgun, niggas didn't jump, lala la la lala la laaaa ...
(also: LOL! service with a smile! [gun on the right] awesomely cynical.)

After a while...

you got higher res of that pic?

Yes, I totally would have the same feeling. In fact whenever a cult pops up all I can think about is how many suckers are in this one? And then when they're proven wrong (again) I smile. It's a little evil, I know but it feels so good when idiots who blindly follow some dude deserve it. Which is always.

Hmmm... I think I'll stick to pretended Call of Duty MW2 is actually a Wasteland sequel for now.

>My suggestion would be to get this, even at full price.

I love l4d2. I played l4d and loved that too. It had great storytelling which they accomplished basically through object placement, essentially painting the entire storyline. The game play is great and I love coop, I got used to l4d and now l4d2 on expert is handing me my ass (fucking chargers).

The idea that the environment these 4 random individuals existed would require them to become incredibly badass at not only shooting but understanding how the zombies operated was a big turn on for me (vietnaaaaam!). I wondered if the survivors from these two games had a particularly rough time or if their ordeals were standard fare.

think of how many bullets there are in the world, giving the significant decrease in population you probably won't have a bullet shortage for decades in which time people would probably have started producing them again giving their sudden value.

gold is not just a shiny metal, it's also incredibly useful, it conducts electricity, does not tarnish, is very easy to work, can be drawn into wire, can be hammered into thin sheets, alloys with many other metals, can be melted and cast into highly detailed shapes, and shields gamma radiation better than lead...

>it conducts electricity, does not tarnish, is very easy to work, can be drawn into wire, can be hammered into thin sheets, alloys with many other metals, can be melted and cast into highly detailed shapes, and shields gamma radiation better than lead

. . . most all of which is only useful in a high-technology society with industrial development advanced enough to take advantage of its features.

Sheets and wire formed from gold is fragile and not useful except for integrated circuit packaging, shielding from high energy EM sources, or other high tech applications.

When SHTF and you are in a low-tech survival-focused environment, other more readily abundant materials will prove much more useful for almost any role gold would also be useful for.

Pound for pound for most uses, aluminium cans will be a MUCH more reliable, and easily worked, source of metal. I have no practice smelting gold...But I've melted down aluminium and cast my own arrow heads with the stuff before. Works fine, though they don't last long.
