    You are one of the last survivors of the nuclear post apocalyptic world, the world is overrun with genetically engineered crazy creatures, that escaped from a lab.

    So one day you are walking around, scavenging for stuff when one of these creatures starts chasing you, you start running for your life, and you run down some subway and then into something that looks like a shelter, the creature is still running after you, so you find the door(metallic) run into the room, push the close button(there still is electricity in this shelter) but the door only half closes, this creature runs up to it, can't get through, but the door is jammed and you see the creature and it sees you and tries to break through and it makes awful sounds.

    You turn around and you find yourself in a shelter with supplies(no weapons though) and commodities to last for a long time but there is no other exit, and when you pushed the close button, the outer door closed aswell trapping both, you and the creature, separated by one half closed, jammed door...

    So what would you do? would you go crazy? would you commit a suicide? would you try to reason with it?

    Or would you get used to the creature trying to break through the half opened door that looks like it might give out any moment.

    Interesting question...

    Well, what can you do, what are your choices? There's no weapons, so you can't really fight as a choice.

    I guess I would take it easy and eat food until the door caves in, and then try my luck with my fists. What else can I do?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    I would sing. Music soothes the savage horribly mutated creature.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,859 ✭✭✭✭Sharpshooter


    I'd let the door give out to the creature, and if it's anything like Terry,that's the last I would see of it.
    Simple really,when you think about it.

    I'd open up to the creature, offer it some food, lend an ear and then once a bond had been established i'd make my move, maybe a bit of Barry White first, & we'd live happily ever after!

    I think someone has too much time and their hands. And really should go out and find themselves a girlfriend/boyfriend.





    PS: Eat the food and wait for the creature to starve to death & then eat him.

    Is the creature female?


    /shrugs. Any port in a storm.

    In that case, your question doesn't even matter - does it? :pac:

    If I've learnt anything about post-nuclear situations from Half Life, the answer is always to take a crowbar to your problems.

    I'd probably go get a towel and clean my face after falling asleep in my corn flakes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    I'd need to know when the creature faps and then I could do a legger

    Don't know which one exactly cause I dreamt about it... it was a scary dream.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,738 ✭✭✭Naos


    I'd just keep throwing random kicks and punches at the creature. It will either die through starvation or get beaten to death.

    That or i'd reload my last save.

    I'd have gone for Jurassic Park and the Raptor scene ;)

    Why would you not beat the creature to death with the supplies (keep hitting it around the head with a tin of beans, or whatever).

    Then you'd be locked in a room with plenty of supplies, commodities and creature brains. Much better.

    Genetically engineered crazy creature?
    Why are you assuming it's hostile.
    Genetic engineered and crazy don't necessarily equal murderous.
    "Chasing you" and "awful sounds" don't mean this either.


    Also, is this just an allegory for painful death (and having knowledge of same).
    A euthanasia thread for dummies maybe?

    Ha! This is what I was thinking :D
    If it was supply food it'd all be in huge 'Dharma Initiative' style tins, so you'd hurl a few dozen of those at the bast*rd.
