Which Do You Fear More?
 
Are you more afraid of a potential Robots Uprising or a Zombie Apocalypse?

zombies are squishy and retarded, robots are metal, organized and armed. you do the math.

Robots shoot you. Zombies, while easier to kill, still come in hordes and being eaten alive probably sucks more than being shot.

Zombies would probably be scarier. I don't want to be afraid of anything other than dying at that time.

Not sure. Robots don't seriously bother me too much but it would still suck. There is a computer place I have seen often called Skynet near us.


Zombies though...being eaten alive would just suck. Though for a zombie apocalypse Cam, Adam and I have agreed to stay away from Earl or at least use him as bait.

I'd say I'm more afraid of Zombies.
While robots can kill you, diminishing your human stock, zombies once were human, so the stock diminishes by deaths, and conversions.

With our technology now, robots would murder us all.

I welcome a zombie apocalypse.

Robots would be more threatening in reality because they could find an "infinite" source of energy. They could use solar power or make human batteries. Eventually zombies are going to run out of stuff to eat and just die.

Which is scarier though.....probably zombies. I would hate to be eaten alive, and with a planet full of 6 billion+ people, if a zombie outbreak occurred you wouldn't have anywhere to hide. At least if the robots took over you could hide.

Zombie apocalypse is impossible. Robot apocalypse is possible.

Beside that, I think escaping from zombies is way more fun than from robots.

Human batteries is meaningless. It wouldn't do anything.

Also I think that zombies, while more horrifying, would be more survivable. A robot uprising would be unstopable I think.

Upload a virus and the robots shut down. Zombie domination is inevitable because humans are mortal, and all who die BECOME a zombie regardless of contact with zombies (using the classic/ultimate Romero formula)

Defeat in a zombie apocalypse is inevitable, and so is the individual's transformation into a walking undead horror who hunts those he once called brother. It is a slow, plodding trudge towards oblivion and all those in it's wake see their fate reanimate before them every God forsaken day until they too are pulled beneath the doomtide.

With robots at least you have a fighting chance.

I feel like robots are more scary because it seems more realistic that robots might come alive and try to kill us. Have you seen those Japanese robot secretaries and maids? That's some scary shit.

Also THIS thing...

I think theres a better chance of zombie apocalypse than efficient killer robots.
Maybe not a traditional, rise out of the ground zombie, but maybe a virus or parasite kind of zombie. Perhaps even a Headcrab zombie?

Re: Which Do You Fear More?
 
Okay let's think about it this way

There are only so many materials for our robotic overlords to use before they can no longer produce more.

Than can be an endless supply of humans.

But we have effective means of killing zombies with blows to the head, its been really difficult to kill the robots as I've seen.

So one has an endless wave, but easily killable... while the other has a finite supply amount, but no means to kill them effectively.
