Surviving the Zombie Horde!!
Last night i took part in a training mission for the Humans VS. Zombies which is a live action game in which the humans have nerf guns and try not to get tagged by the Zombies. Last night our mission was to escort a scientist to different generators around campus, the generators were of course the stands around campus that have flyers all over them. It was a lot of fun trying to "survive" and make sure that the "scientist" wasn't killed and that you did not get tagged and became a zombie. There were many rushes by the zombies, which were about 10 at the start and I think we had about 15 humans, one rush in particular that took about 5 humans out. We were across the street from the Cooper science building and leaving one of the "generators" to reach our final destination, which of course was on the other side of campus. We saw the zombies forming up in attempt for a rush and we formed up prepared for the inevitable rush. Slowly the zombies began to creep towards us just waiting for someone to fire and miss so that they could rush easier. There was a quick silence, and from one of the zombies cam "now!". All hell was broken loose as the zombies charged in one massive swarm, we frantically fired our guns and slowly took down zombies but of course there were some casualties caused by the quicker zombies. The surviving humans retreated after all the zombies had been stunned and quickly regrouped, re-supplied, and reloaded our weapons. Winded we made our way to the north bus stop which is past lafolette. As we made our way around the entire campus we planned on what to do when we got to our final stand. As we approached the final point we came into contact with the entire horde beginning to circle us up. As we waited for another rush we all cocked our weapons and chose our target. As the zombies charged one made a beeline for me and i took aim, my heart pounding in my ears and sweat on my brow, i pulled the trigger, nothing. My gun had jammed and before i could reach into my pocket and pull out a dart to throw I had been tagged. Aggravated i threw my gun to the ground and turned to the zombie side. That rush had left only 4 humans standing. The humans reached the last point, but it was a futile effort because of the overwhelming odds and a simple rush by the twenty-some zombies and the humans were turned and the mission failed.

Believe it or not, this actually sounds interesting. It reminds me a lot of "Left 4 Dead," which I'm sure you have played; it is a great game. How realistic was the zombie thing to you? Do you think that if that was real, you would have survived as long...? Haha, I think it might be interesting to play, it sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteIt does sound very interesting i think i might want to play... i say it going on around campus yesterday and it looked like you guys were having so much fun.. do you enjoy doing it and what all do you guys do
ReplyDeleteIt does sound pretty fun chris. Next time you play let me know I think I might be interested. It kind of reminds me of Halo/Dawn of the Dead. Which is my kind of thing to do.
ReplyDeleteit is a lot of fun, a lot of running though. But registration is over at 11:59 wednesday night i'm pretty sure, and you have to sign a waiver to play just because of it possibly injuring you. got to bsu.edu/hvz for more info.
