Apr 22 2008, 9:09 PM EDT I also believe more in the Max Brooks theory than any other. Looking at it, it covers all angles and explains nearly everything there is about zombies in a very logical format. Do you find this valuable? |

Apr 22 2008, 9:27 PM EDT Hold on kiddies. Max Brooks does have one of the most cohesive and in depth examinations of a Zack outbreak, but has anyone ever actually applied these lessons? Has anyone ever killed a a real zombie? Until someone (who isn't a weeny wagging dipshit) can actually claim to have waxed a Zed, any literature on the subject is purely up to speculation. Also, he doesn't seem to understand that the M16 is actually a pretty good weapon. Do you find this valuable? |

Max Brooks is human, just like the rest of us. He may be well-researched and an exceptionally gifted writer, but he's probably laughing all the way to the bank. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: i strongly beleive in the Max Brooks Theory.
Apr 23 2008, 3:49 AM EDT I like his general theories, but zombies not needing to breath is a little too far fetched. You literally can't move without oxygen. Your muscles work with oxygen to move and remove acids, convert food into usable energy, and other things. When your cells freeze, they burst. You can't freeze then come back to life. I can imagine 28 days later zombies, but not Max Brooks zombies. Do you find this valuable? |

Apr 23 2008, 7:46 AM EDT I believe that is 1 of 2 ways it could happen and we need to be preparing for the Max Brook's Zombies. Do you find this valuable? |

And when cells freeze and they explode was one of the main ways I was gonna defend myself. Just get as high and cold as possible. I like both ideas. I have seen 28 Weeks Later and I have to say they are gonna be a bigger problem then Classic Zombies. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: i strongly beleive in the Max Brooks Theory.
Apr 23 2008, 1:58 PM EDT I'm not saying that he is absolutely correct because like most you have already stated, I have yet to meet anyone or hear from anyone who has survived anything dealing with zombies in real life. It's just that when I read Max's book I could see how his zombies could "come to life" (lol no pun intended). I am not biological scientist myself but then again I'm not dumb either so the things he described made sense to me if his zombies did happen to come walking down Main Street. it was an excellent piece of literature and I am actually using his zombie format in my own story that I am writing, which I would ask you guys to take a peak at here (www.kelenmoonhunter.proboards51.com).

RE: i strongly beleive in the Max Brooks Theory.
Apr 23 2008, 2:21 PM EDT Look, I''m not denying there is no way in hell the Brooks zombie could exist. If that's the case, then so be it. I'm just saying there is a reason the ZSG is in the humor section, and World War Z is in the horror (fiction) section. Biologically, the "28 Days Later" scenario seems a lot more plausible. Does this mean we should regard the ZSG as fallacy? Of course not. I'm just saying that a certain degree of skepticism is needed when obtaining information for Z-Day. And no book can hold a candle to real-life training. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: i strongly beleive in the Max Brooks Theory.
Apr 23 2008, 5:32 PM EDT I agree. Just because I am fond of the Max Brooks theory doesn't mean I overlook all others. That would foolhardy. The only books that have anything to do with zombie survival that I 100% believe and follow by are military issue wilderness and urban survival books. Do you find this valuable? |

May 21 2008, 4:25 PM EDT Look to date i have not seen a zombie type worse than Max's so lets go with the saying "pray for the best and prepare for the worst". NO zombies is the best and Brooks zombie the worst. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: i strongly beleive in the Max Brooks Theory.
May 21 2008, 7:56 PM EDT Not really their bad but Max's zombies only have one means of death really while 28 days have a lot of ways of dying the only reason why they are dangerous in @8 days is lack of military to stop the rapid infection and in 28 weeks their dangerous because the military in the movie was a bunch of idiots did any one else spend the entire movie going "That was dumb" or "What the hell kill it don't run you have a gun use it". Any way Rage zombies are faster infection but if you can seal them up they are easy to clean up becasue 29 days is alot shorter waiting period than about 8 years. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: i strongly beleive in the Max Brooks Theory.
May 22 2008, 2:22 AM EDT Honestly I think a rage infection is far more dangerous than typical rotters,or even runners. The speed at which it spreads, Ill use the scene from 28 weeks where the infection is spreading along the population locked in the shelter. You can literally see it spreading. If one of these got on a busy street its over, good military response or not. Plus a psychosis inducing hemoraghic fever isnt all that hard to believe. Max made people aware and had some legit survival techniques. But thats really all IMHO Do you find this valuable? |

RE: i strongly beleive in the Max Brooks Theory.
May 22 2008, 7:14 AM EDT More beliveable yes but not more dangerous in the long run. They may be slow but they are far more psycological damaging because they don't go down when shot through the heart. 28 days do. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: i strongly beleive in the Max Brooks Theory.
May 22 2008, 1:36 PM EDT Personally, I think the rage zombies are way more dangerous than your average shambler. Yes, they are still in a biological sense "human", but the only way to drop one would be a direct shot to the heart or head. Sure, you may take out a limb or two otherwise, but you may not be able to subdue one before it grabs you. Just look at people hopped up on meth or PCP. Cops have a hell of a time subduing them because they simply can't feel shit or the neurological responses are delayed. I think that a rage zombie would have few differences, other than the ability to infect you. Do you find this valuable? |
