Honest Challenge, and Positive Reinforcement
This has been a lot on discussion around lately. Or so I've felt anyway. So I'm going to link to two articles by Shamus Young on the issue instead of making a proper response.
The Need for Challenge
Auto-adjusting Frustration
There's also a video:
Reset Button that sort of deals with the things.

What kind of weapon would you use?
author=aprilschild link=topic=3027.msg59552#msg59552 date=1233345513I meant it in the way that these characters (obviously) would have to be huge losers in "real preapocalypse life". That way we'd see the transition (as in other movies of this kind) from bumbling McDonald's worker to Zombie Hunter.author=Shinan link=topic=3027.msg59501#msg59501 date=1233327062
Of course the underlying message would be something like "It took the apocalypse to get these guys out of their chairs. Are you like them?"
As we know from the workout thread, this is an awful nasty stereotype. Geeks do get out and do things, many of them are very active. In fact, I'm fairly sure that you are a) geeky and b) get out and do things, so I don't have to explain it to you! :)
Anyway, this is a hilarious idea and I'd totally watch it. Can those kids from Superbad be in it? Toss Jon Heder in it and you have a freaking go.
So it took the apocalypse until these guys really lived ("get out of the chair"). The question is, why couldn't they live before that? Of course it wouldn't have to be very prominent in the movie. There'd be the "fresh start" for a while and then they kick ass for the rest of it (and get the girl/boy)

author=Holbert link=topic=3027.msg59479#msg59479 date=1233300579Someone should make a movie about the zombie apocalypse from the zombie fan's perspective. Following a group of geeks who have all the knowledge (and more) that they ever needed for the zombie apocalypse. All of them having a copy of the Zombie Survival Guide and quoting everything from Night of the Living Dead through Resident Evil to 28 days later.author=Mitsuhide_The_Vagrant link=topic=3027.msg59346#msg59346 date=1233272103
You, Max, are honestly to only other person besides me that I know who wishes this would happen.
Guys, there is a facebook group called "The hardest thing about a zombie apocalypse would be pretending I am not excited."
Of course the underlying message would be something like "It took the apocalypse to get these guys out of their chairs. Are you like them?"

Other than that, damn this is cool. Perhaps you guys should integrate a calendar into the forums ;)!

author=brandonabley link=topic=3027.msg59198#msg59198 date=1233246815This is why I'd like to be a spearman in a drafted peasant unit stationed in the middle somewhere in rank 4-6 because 1) We wouldn't be used for something really dangerous since we'd flee immediately and 2) By the time the enemy reached the second rank we'd be fleeing like scared rabbits!
It is disgusting guys. Like think aboout this. You are like, "I would fight with a bo staff!" That means that you will need to crush somebody's skull with it. You would need to smash somebody's face in, either killing him outright or at least disfiguring and blinding him. Or, you will need to stab him with your sword. Or cut off his arm. There will be blood and viscera all over you. Do you know what a person smells like after you have cut him open? Do you know what guts and blood and death smell like? And add to that to smell of urine and shit because people soil themselves when they die violently. Like . . . I don't think we are stopping and thinking about how horrible it is to be on a battlefield and killing other people with handheld weapons. Or worse, being injured by one. What if you get stabbed in the crotch with a lance and your genitals are mutilated? That's it, man. You can go on with your life but you have a horrible wound from which you will never recover. And it only took two seconds for it to happen. We are sort of glamorizing this but life is not an anime or a video game and we do not have limit breaks!
On the other hand in Total War I always send out my peasants to die so I can get rid of them...
But speaking of battling in formation I'm pretty certain that you wouldn't have time to feel a whole lot until afterwards. And if you got training you'd feel even less (because the training would take over)
And since this supposedly takes place before them ranged weapons (or them guns) I'm pretty certain the world is pretty brutal from before so being a drafted soldier for a king's army. Probably not the worst thing that can happen.
Anticipated games the most of 2009
author=VerifyedRasta link=topic=3021.msg59157#msg59157 date=1233239573Yeah, releasing Final Fantasy VII on the Playstaion was pretty damn retarded too. And Dragon Quest on Playstation... And then on the DS. Damn retards.
That's so retarded. I mean, It's not like it's a spin-off or anything... It's a sequel and the other games were on PS / Xbox
*Loudest SIGH ever!* >:(
What kind of weapon would you use?
I'd probably use a spear. An infantry short spear and I'd preferably be somewhere in the fifth or sixth rank of a large spearmen unit. Probably a peasant spearmen unit consisting of drafted people from villages.
If I could afford, and had survived for a while I wouldn't mind the short sword + shield combination.
Though what I really would want is a crossbow. It doesn't require a whole lot of skill to use and it's a ranged weapon!

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
This is one of my favorite parts of the whole show. I wrote it down because I was going to adapt it for a local sketch show.
Bank Lady: "And what is the reason you're requesting a loan today?"
Mac: "wait for it.... gasoline"
Bank Lady: "Excuse me?"
Mac: "Look here's the plan, you give us a shitload of money. We buy a shitload of gasoline. We wait twelve months, we sell the gasoline and make a shitload of profit."
Bank Lady: "gentlemen we tend to give loans to businesses not..."
Dennis: "she's not getting it."
Mac: "Get the graphs"
Dennis: "Oh yeah the graphs"
Dennis: "check this out, Now these are the gas prices last year, these are the gas prices this year and this is what the gas prices will be."
Bank Lady: "And what are those?"
Dennis: "oh these are gorgeous women with huge breasts"
Bank lady: "why?"
Dennis: "well to be perfectly honest we sort of thought we'd be speaking to a man today so..."
Mac: "yeah is there any way we could talk to your boss because I think he would understand more better"
Bank Lady: "My boss is a woman"
Mac: "really?"
Dennis: "Your boss is a woman? Now this is a strange bank"
Bank Lady: "yeah well I'm definitely rejecting your request for 300 000 dollars to buy gasoline"
Mac: "Dennis you're on"
Dennis: "yeah I just have a crazy thought. How about I take you to the back and... 'change your mind'?"
Charlie: "Or how about we all go in the back and have great sex (blink)"
Dennis: "what are you doing?"
Charlie: "I'm playing a wild card here man"
Mac: "dude just let dennis do his thing okay"
Charlie: "I can be very sexual with a woman alright, you will enjoy it"
Dennis: "now is not the right time to pull the wild card okay let me do my thing let me do this"
Mac: "let Dennis bang her so we can get our loan"
Charlie: "listen here, what if she wanted to bang me or you for that matter"
Dennis: "you can't pull the wild card when I've pulled my shirt off. That should be a rule can that be a rule?"
Mac: "yeah that can be a rule"
Charlie: "your shirt is not off"
Dennis: "Well now it is goddammit"
Charlie: "oh well whoah"
Dennis: "let me do my job"
Dennis: "what are YOU doing goddammit let me do my thing. Alright so..."
Mac: "we'll let you decide. which one of us do you want to take in the back and bang?"
(From the episode "The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis")
Man I love It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Whenever they kidnap people. You can't go wrong with kidnapping people. I've been a bit iffy when it comes to Danny DeVito. Occasionally he is something great but I find that it's really just the core four's infighting that work out the best.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Oh yes, it was recommended to me last summer and I watched through a whole lot of it over summer and fall. Charlie is such a golden character.
However I found after watching through two seasons in two days I started to talk and think like Charlie. It has gone away now but I'm sure it'll come back once the series comes back (or has it already and I just haven't noticed yet?)
