I am excited about the TOTAL COLLAPSE OF THE WORLD ECONOMY.

Oh yes. Because we'll all do so well in the barter system.

benbrown said, (257 days ago)

Now we just have to wait for the water wars to start. And Peak Oil! And a massive MRSA US300 outbreak!

I see the total collapse of human society as a great counter to the popularity of crappy loft condos.

I'm going to pay for food with HIGH FIVES.

FiZ said, (257 days ago)

Lately, I can't help but wonder how long it'll take for all those "{#} ways to save money" articles will change the "stop renting" part to "avoid mortgages as if your life depends on it...because it does!"

Little Bill said, (257 days ago)

Maybe we can start an economy of thumbs-up and downs.

benbrown said, (257 days ago)

I am going to grow quinoa and pot in hydroponic gardens inside my goatmoat. I'll let you have some if you sign up your children for my militia.

benbrown said, (257 days ago)

I really want to play a post-apocalyptic MMOG.

Joel Mushiking said, (257 days ago)

You played urbandead.com, right? Zombies are a type of apocalypse!

Skanko said, (257 days ago)

Goatmoat rules.

Soggy goats, however, would make one hell of a stink.

Ethan said, (257 days ago)

Fallout Online... if only.

Chrome Raven said, (257 days ago)

as long as it's not auto assault.

benbrown said, (257 days ago)

Zombie games are a good way to prepare yourself to slaughter your neighbors en masse, but what I want is the dust bowl, the marauding mutant motorcycle gangs, and the concrete knowledge that I will never again have to worry about a cell phone bill.

FiZ said, (257 days ago)

@ethan: we still have to find out if 3 is going to be any good or not, so don't hold your breath.

benbrown said, (257 days ago)

BTW, I am working on the second draft of a sci-fi comedy novel entitled "Tidal Wave of Doom" which features all of the things mentioned above, AND a main character named Derwood.

benbrown said, (257 days ago)

And furries!

Beej said, (257 days ago)

Son of a bitch. If the tidal wave won't kill the furries, what good is it?

Joel Mushiking said, (257 days ago)

So more Gamma World or Mad Max or Shadowrun?

Or Waterworld?

Corey Hart said, (257 days ago)

@Beej: You can't get rid of the furries, they're like cockroaches.

benbrown said, (257 days ago)

Yeah, I dream of a world somewhere halfway between Mad Max and Burning Man. Dry, empty, glow sticks.

FiZ said, (257 days ago)

@Corey Hart: ...with fur.

benbrown said, (257 days ago)

@Beej - Plus, its a tidal wave of doom, not of water.

Chrome Raven said, (257 days ago)

i wouldn't say Shadowrun is exactly post-apocalyptic...

flyingfishstick said, (257 days ago)

Time to start that pig farm, I guess.

Corey Hart said, (257 days ago)

@Ben: Will your post-apocalyptic world still have techno?

FiZ said, (257 days ago)

@Oh, Bearded One: But is the Doom water soluble?

TWIGBy Fierce said, (257 days ago)

and yet condo prices continue to go up in Toronto

fucking ass backwards city...

FiZ said, (257 days ago)

And if the sun hasn't burned out by then, I'd better start digging my network of tunnels. Who's with me?

lay oale said, (257 days ago)

@twigby: in the future, all of those condos will be abandoned to make way for our fortresses of punkitude

Joel Mushiking said, (257 days ago)

@chrome raven: You're right, though it's not exactly a utopia either. I guess I just remember fights in junkyards from the SNES game.

ABoyNamedArt said, (257 days ago)

Total economic collapse? I wanna see that!

Reamworks SKG said, (257 days ago)

I'm not! I have GOLD!

TWIGBy Fierce said, (257 days ago)

see i didn't read this thread, didn't know we were mad maxing it up

i'd run roadside games of family feud with my biker gang, SHOW ME POTATO SALAD

benbrown said, (257 days ago)

@FiZ - The Doom is not water soluble. However, all the plastic we've put into the oceans is! Soon, all of our children will have microplastic skeletons!

sodoff jonathan said, (257 days ago)

I think the people who scoff at my beer-making and motorcycle-riding skills as "useless" are going to be singing a different tune in any type of post-apocalyptic scenario you care to name.

benbrown said, (257 days ago)

Yeah, and all those geeky MIT engineers working on solar powered race cars will be KINGS.

Ethan said, (257 days ago)

Until we beat them up and steal their cars.

dakotasmith said, (257 days ago)

Yeah, this guy seems to nail the TERRIFYING financial articles. Plus, they're all filled will weird little codes!

dakotasmith said, (257 days ago)

That was the this guy I mentioned.

ilikedginger said, (257 days ago)

I am not afraid of resorting to cannibalism.

benbrown said, (257 days ago)

Mmm, longpig.

benbrown said, (257 days ago)

SWEET JESUS LOOK AT THIS.

http://www.cannibals.com/_disc1/0000007f.htm

Terrifying.

Corey Hart said, (257 days ago)

Looks like they haven't been active in a while:

http://www.cannibals.com/EventsMain.htm

But you're right, Ben. Papyrus is terrifying.

FiZ said, (257 days ago)

Actually, I'd be a bet more frightened if they'd used Comics Sans.

madeleinemary said, (257 days ago)

I'm all for creating a standing army of consumators, except that an army of nerds and hipsters...

well, it doesn't scare *me* that much.

madeleinemary said, (257 days ago)

oops. i mean: Go,team!ers.

unlucky stuntman said, (257 days ago)

So does this mean that zombie hunting will be a sanctioned sport?

Corey Hart said, (257 days ago)

the ZHL would have pretty high ratings, I think.

Lams said, (257 days ago)

"North Shore Acres. A great place for long pig"

"North Shore Acres: We're Cannibal friendly!"

sinister finister said, (257 days ago)

i'm going to poland. where i'll NEVER run out of sausage!

Reamworks SKG said, (257 days ago)

@sinister!

When are you going to Poland!? I leave for Poland on 3/30 for a week, to be followed by a week in Israel. Will I see you there?

The Ina said, (257 days ago)

A Super-Walmart is opening in Kalamazoo.

*cries*

FiZ said, (257 days ago)

Well that solves the mystery of where the longpig in Detroit is going.

Corey Hart said, (257 days ago)

@sinister: If you wanna save some money, I've got some sausage for you right *here*.

skipbreakfast said, (257 days ago)

Brother, can you spare a Euro?

Crimson said, (255 days ago)
