I voted for:
Natural disasters-something about watching the news headlines flash across the screen about major cities falling would be kinda cool :unsure:

Nuclear disaster-only if it's like Fallout 3 :P

Zombie apocalypse-we all want one, but I've always wondered how it starts. Is it going to be like random zombie attacks and gradually turning into an apocalypse?

Well that's the main reason it could never actually happen. There's no conceivable way for things to go from "one failed experiment" in a lab to "millions of zombies" on the streets. Not unless each and every single person in the lab is on a piss break when it happens and they all get infected. And if and only if each of these people are like, the most sociable gang of people on the planet who host a party with hundreds of people coming over who all get infected, then these hundreds of people do nothing for the rest of their time as humans besides traveling to different countries and injecting their DNA into every person they meet.

To the zombie apocalypse people: you do know that real life isn't a video game, right? :P IMO a zombie apocalypse would be a horrible way for the world to end. Do you really want to see your friends and family eaten, possibly infected....possibly have to "kill" them yourself...etc....? Yikes!


One time I was watching through the wormhole hosted by Morgan Freeman & some scientists were claiming that reality works like a game in some ways (what's not perceived isn't rendered) is one I remember

I guess I'd have to go with a "universal system reboot". very matrixy

Zombies, it'd be interesting with a chance of survival.

Just remember to drink up stream kids.

Also its the more interesting way to go. I wouldn't be to worried about zombies more worried about other people. Desperate, scared, with guns kind of people.

Zombies terrify me, so anything but that please. I like the nuclear apocalypse version where the nuke is shot above a target, so the EMP (?) knocks out anything and everything electrical, so no one is killed directly and everyone has to fend for themselves with everything modern suddenly becoming obsolete - utter carnage. The kind of major disaster bought about in Freakangels would be cool - a nice twist on the natural disaster theme.

I vote 'other'. Specifically, I want AI enhanced alien zombies to use nuclear weapons to divert a comet so it strikes Earth, thus making it look like a natural disaster. I've never seen anything like that, and I've survived the "End of the World" four times now (1988, 1993, 1994, 2000).

I chose Nuclear Fallout. This way I can finally watch as the mushroom clouds rise on the horizon and the world burns. Plus, its a lot more likely to happen more than say, Zombies or Robots.

They can't be infected when I'm dual wielding chain guns with unlimited ammo.

If the world ends tomorrow, I'd like a some sort of cosmic force to cause people to hump and intoxicate eachother to death. :P

Of course, I'm sure there are plenty of similarities to be found between video games and reality if you think about it. All I'm saying is that it's fun to play zombie games and watch zombie movies, and it's fun to shoot guns in real life. Now, I'm no Morgan Freeman, but it seems to me that seeing a real life zombie apocalypse unfold in your town - living a horror movie and seeing awful, painful, terrifying things happening to people you know - would be psychologically devastating to even the toughest civilians. I don't think even having experience with real-life combat would fully prepare someone for something that horrifying. It's one thing to see people violently killed...it's another to be searching for your family amidst the chaos and find your mother eating your father's intestines.

In my opinion it'd be worse watching evovereryone around you to suffer psychologically and sink into madness. Think about it. Widespread looting, and witnessing neighbors kill each other over limited resources. It'd be total anarchy.

Hehe...nah, mine's plenty sick. It's just that if we're talking about everybody dying "for reals" and I have a choice, I'm going to choose a painless death over indefinite suffering.

Slow, shambler zombies, or the fast, sprinty rage zombies? I voted zombies, but under the condition it's the slow ones. Worst case scenario, I wanna have time to pop myself before I get eaten alive. The sprinty ones might ruin my plans.
