Mortuary attendants in Durban were shocked this week when a man, who had been declared dead by paramedics and taken to a government mortuary, suddenly started breathing and woke up in front of them.

Gale Street Mortuary Unit Commander Thegran Moodley said: "The man had been involved in a car accident somewhere in the Umbumbulu area at the weekend. After the paramedics had certified him dead, my staff were called in to fetch the body."

After arriving at the mortuary the attendants had been preparing to label the body when the man had started breathing heavily and had woken up.

"The attendants ran away because they were shocked," said Moodley.

"We called the paramedics to come and attend to this person who had regained life. They took him to King Edward VIII Hospital for treatment."

Hospital staff confirmed on Thursday night that a man had been sent to the hospital from the Gale Street mortuary, but refused to give any details.

Moodley said the attendants were being treated for shock.

I like how the attendants were treated for shock!

That's why I said for now...

But when they get here, I will tear their shit up!

Just curious, even though doom is inevitable, how would you guys defend against the undead?

all you need is the following:

1) A high tower
2) A year's supply of food and drink
3) A sniper rifle
4) LOTS of ammo. I mean LOTS

they don't destroy the brain of the unrelenting undead.

Jesus, where the fuck is Suerte with more info? The zombies must have got him. FUCK.

Man, if you drop Molotov Cocktails on top of an undead horde, their brains are eventually going to burn up. It's inevitable.

If you shoot the fuckers, they're dead instantly.

Where do you plan on keeping enough cocktails to kill thousands of the undead?

I could store 10,000 bullets in a small area.

You need one bullet for every zombie. You only need a cocktail for around every 5 zombies. They're all massed together and bumping into each other and shit, they're going to light each other on fire.

Besides, if I'm going to hold up in some tower for a year I am going to have all kinds of alcohol anyways.

I need to get a shotgun, just in case i'm cornered, and dual barettas for taking out the undead in a badass style. You guys can stay safe in your towers while I fight in the trenches ;).

fucking hell

Suerte is sucking zombie cock somewhere, methinks. He's one of the undead now, and we'll never hear more of his story.

What if we get insane firepowers. I mean, shooting at hordes of zombies with rocket launchers will be more than enough. It will kill most of them, and the survivors would be in little pieces.

He's a zombie now. When he lumbers toward you, don't hesitate. He wants your brain. Maybe your cock too, who knows. Gay zombies weren't really covered by movies I think.

I would have dual magnums, full body armor, a backpack and a satchel full of ammo, and a safehouse full of food, water, and more ammo. I'd cleanse this world.

First tragedy, then farce.
If you are in a high tower, why dont you just put a bunch of spikes facing downward blocking the path up? That way you could ignore them and they would simply destroy their OWN brains by impaling themselves.

Just remember, no matter how logical the reasoning sounds, THERE IS NO GOOD REASON TO LEAVE WHERE YOU ARE. Not to go to your parents old house, not to get gas for a car, not to save a hot chick..

all I can say is if this thing deteriorates into some sort of wierd military movie where they try to rape my party members Im going to be pissed.

I'm fucked you guys, I'm on the first floor of the apartment building and the only weapons I could come up with are scissors.

Save yourselves, I'll try to hold them off.

this isnt the first time something like this has happened..

what happens is that the people enter this low level type of comatose state.. where the heart and brain activity is working at an almost undetectable level.. ive read about accounts where people have woken up as they were buried.. or those where certain graves had to be unearthed (for whatever reason) and they found scratch marks on the inside of coffins..

its kinda scary when you think about it.

heh I was thinking about this the other day. Everytime you die, your corpse becomes a zombie. You don't keep the same character when you respawn ;)

EDIT:: ^ ^ ^ No no no. You don't become a zombie, no player is ever a zombie (that totally flies in the face of what zombiism is) Your corpse becomes a zombie (unless you are head shot of course). That way as more travelers die in dangerous areas, they simply become more dangerous. It also allows for realistic "item drops" since some zombies are former players and would still have items on their person.

Awesome! This needs to be made.

I actually started to develop it as a concept. There would be resource management and shit for food, weapons etc. and a realtime inventory system (dig in your backpack) so you have to be alert at all times.

Players could barracade themselves into "safe areas" etc. with debris from the game world but would be forced to eventually gtfo if the situation turned sour (or they needed more food water ammo etc).

I was trying to balance what would be obvious PvP issues. I wanted to be able to kill other players if needed (turning into zombie) and so people would be cautios and eventually form gangs of survivors (as seen in dawn of the dead) but there would have to be some aspect of deterrence so peple didn't just run around killing other people for the fuck of it (at least not all the time).

The best part would be a lack of true leveling. You could loose and gain physical atributes based on health, sustanence, excercise, etc. but those stats could fall again as conditions changed.

lastly it would have to have a real fucking battle system. none of this hack hack shit that plauges MMO games o_o

I think I would base it off of a sort of oregon trail mentality, the world is entirely free roaming but you have a brutal, leangthy linear path ahead of you. And you need the right gear and friends to suvive ;)

GOTY!
