Well that's no fun.

not write a comedy novel about survival?

Its in no way meant to be taken seriously...

>>1630

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.

Fuck the sawed-off barrel Stoeger.

Tiny pumps for the win.

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.

For those who like the style, i'm seeding this one right now.

What is it?

>>1562

How do i download the torrent file? Can't find the download button anywhere.

>>1329 lol
a question tho... whats the strobe good for? SOS signals? its a pretty cool piece... but it should have a built-in 12 gauge.

>>1332
Strobes are indeed handy for just that. Signaling when you're in no condition to do so.

that WOULD be baddass. a single shot 12 gauge in a survival tool. I'd rather have like, twenty shots of 22, which you could put in the same space, though.

I got the Eton Solar Link fr-600. It has am/fm/sw/wx/alert and it can be powered by batteries, solar, cellphone charger in the car, or dynamo crank. it can charge a phone or whatnot using usb oh and it has flashlight, emergency flasher and a siren built in. cost me 80.00 bucks a radioshack.

I've seen the trailers and wasn't exactly blown away. Looks too much like "the Postman".

>>1580
>Implying "the Postman" wasn't an enjoyable flick.

The book was good. Depressing and dismal, but good.
