A relentless, unyielding, ever-growing tide of doom. You might avoid it for a little while, you might hold it off, you might even push it back a little, but you can't stop it. <br />For the record I like having alternate zombie types in my gaming. Gives the Heroes a chance to be heroic. :)DrewT333https://www.blogger.com/profile/15282283029304266814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7095057593942419753.post-39188479761516431042011-08-22T15:34:08.528-05:002011-08-22T15:34:08.528-05:00I'm old school and I much prefer the slow movi...I'm old school and I much prefer the slow moving zombies.

To make a slow zombie work you have to really effectively tell the story and build suspense. It also allows more action-oriented heroes (ala "The Horde") who could waltz through a field of slow zombies without breaking a sweat.WQRobbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436898737750581192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7095057593942419753.post-85944921657721022442011-08-22T07:47:00.909-05:002011-08-22T07:47:00.909-05:00I prefer slow zombies in most cases, but sometimes...I prefer slow zombies in most cases, but sometimes I can enjoy the fast zombies too. The Dawn of the Dead remake does alright with them. (The Day of th Dead remake...not so much. Those zombies were not only fast but also scaled walls and ran on ceilings like the xenomorphs from Aliens..<br /><br />But for fantasizing about surviving a Zombie Apocalypse, I only ever think about slow zombies. Fast zombies you cannot plan for, I don't think.<br /><br />Simon Pegg had a good article on it:<br />http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/nov/04/television-simon-pegg-dead-set<br /><br /><br />Adam<br />http://adam-mph.blogspot.com/Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01340813263749275644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7095057593942419753.post-71071619120429271562011-08-22T07:40:48.740-05:002011-08-22T07:40:48.740-05:00I am right in the middle as well mate.
