Until the robots reach singularity and learn to self replicate.

I've been giving this some thought, and I have to say I still I would be more worried about a Zombie Apocalypse than a robot one. I think you might have a greater chance of survival in the short term if zombies took over, but eventually the zombies would weigh you down killing the remaining humans off...one by one.

There's something very cerebral and heavy about zombies...something about inevitable, impending doom....it just resonates with the human experience. That's probably why it is my favorite horror genre.

I think the amount of Zombie buffs and nerds like ourselves effectively eliminates the zombie equation. Like do you know what you would do if zombies broke out? You do. Why? Because of about 8 different RE games and tons of movies. If you're like me your plan of action is to head to the nearest gun store, grab as many guns, as much ammo and maybe a sweet melee weapon, head to a grocery store, and kill anything that doesn't speak. If someone gets bitten they are killed immediately. It's a harsh zombie reality. Zombies are slow and stupid. They die.

Robots... I'm fucked there.

Yeah but what if that wasn't the right way to deal with zombies? What if they're only hurt by something else..water, maybe?

You watch too much M. Night Shyamalan movies.

I think we can survive a Zombie apocalypse by starving them out. Robots don't need food... and they can actually make plans.

Haha, I was actually making fun of that

But seriously, what if guns didn't work on them?

just do that to everyone who isnt a zombie, so that if they turn into one you wont have to worry.

That's what the sweet melee weapon is for.

Also, I would like to add.. or maybe its been mentioned before... who knows.

That history (or movies whatever you want to go with) shows us that humans will eventually gain control of at least one robot who will fight on our side, and knows how to shut their brothers down.

We just need to listen to that lone, cold robotic voice.

Zombies won't defect.... or I've never heard of it.

The question isn't who would WIN in a zombie apocalypse or robot uprising, the question is which do we fear more.

I personally, plainly, don't fear zombies. Why? They don't exist. Never met one. Never saw one. I have, on the other hand, seen robots, and some pretty lethal, creepy, intelligent robots too. A robot uprising can happen, therefore I fear it.

Zombie apocalypse? Not so much.

KillerGremlin · 04-13-2009, 03:20 AM

Robots are a product of human engineering. Call me a cynic but if humanity can't save humanity robots will never be smart enough to take us over.

An alien invasion is far scarier than either.

A new contender enters the battlefield, and it may be the clear winner.

I mean aliens have been everything from nice to ungodly creatures of destruction so we really don't know what to expect with them. And thus far, the only real solution is if they are dumb enough to come here and not be immuned to our diseases or water.

Or computer viruses.
