Hey whatever happened all the zombie killing guns and ammunition you know the stuff that was pretty cool back in the day
>>64660539that was 40 years ago, grandpa
>>64660539Same thing that happened to all the le epic bacon themed products
Overexposed, became tiresome.
>>64660539Do you want a bunch of guns colored like Nickelodeon and dumb gimmicks for a SHTF scenario that'll never happen? The zombie trend in movies and TV died off with The Walking Dead going to shit and the theme being totally oversaturated.
>>64660539Zoomers have no culture and are scared of The X-Files.
>>64660539I will absolutely have sex with the dark souls lady
>>64660539All the 13yus grew up.
>>64660539>Haha it's for "zombies"After the last decade everyone just stopped talking about a "zombie" prep for opsec self incrimination reasons. Redditors who made the colt python 100x in price are entirely unaware what zombie meant after hurricane Katrina.
>>64660575the gayniggers from the xcops episode made me uncomfortable i thought i might get aids through the tv.
God that era was so fucking cringe, I’m so glad it’s been over for a decade now
>>64660770But would you raw dog the undead merchant?
>>64660539Zobies just aren't popular anymore.mainly because zombies stopped being entertaining and was stopped being made popular as the racial demographics of the countries that consumed zombie entertainment changed.
Unc, "the walking dead" is not the hot new thing anymore No one watches zombie shit
Tried to get through the zombie survival guide in like, 2012, I think. It was frequently referenced here. My God that shit was boring. And this was back when I had lots of free time and loved to read.
>>64660539Covid happened.
Banned!
>>64660539I just moved several states away, and in both the town I moved from and the one I moved to, I have seen at least 1 vehicle that either has a wrap or seat covers that say zombie survival squad or something like that with a giant biohazard symbol, so they aren't all gone yet lol
>>64660539Is that the Moss lady?
>>64660539Fad died out like things go.
>>64660539It was a fad that got out of hand to the point of infecting everything and getting really annoying. This got really cringe worthy and the market became too saturated for a dwindling number of people who still enjoyed it, so the fad ran it's course and died out. Typical fad life cycle.
>>64661418>>64661447The other day I crumbled into dust upon realizing the original Left 4 Dead came out over 17 years ago (L4D2 being 16 years).I guess the modern (by which I mean 21st century) zombie fad started with 28 Days Later in 2002 and reinforced by the Zombie Surival Guide ('03) and DotD remake ('04).Internet culture at the time definitely helped it spread. I can't really pinpoint when it died out but it was definitely before 2015.Every now and then somebody tries reviving it, most recently 28 Years but it hasn't gone as big. It was definitely a "you had to be there" time and a product of the '00s. Like flash games or DVDs
>>64660539People don't have to use zombie as codeword for NPCs anymore after pussy hats became a thing.
>>64661598Yeah I remember that time. There were a lot of movies, games, comics, everything about zombies. Slow ones, fast ones, rage virus, space magic, you name it. I was really into it myself although I still thought all the green with fake blood stains and biohazard markings was pretty dumb. I think I still have a copy of the Zombie Survival Guide in a storage box somewhere.
>>64660625>>64661722It's hilarious to see this because it immediately outs you as being a zoomer, newfag, or retard. The zombie fad was about literal zombies, not some secret codeword for racewar shenanigans. That's some MSNBC levels of delusional revisionism
>>64660567> Do you want a bunch of guns colored like NickelodeonYep. Because it’s fun
>>64661598Zombie peaked in the early 2010’s with >walking dead >zombie survival guide >world war Z>Zombieland >warm bodies >ultimate warrior >resident evil(i think)And a few others I’m sure. It was fun, full of memes, inspired some creative merch, and made serious fun owners seethe. So all in all a great trend. I wouldn’t mind if it got picked up again, though unluckily, walking dead pretty much ran the culture dry.
>>64660539Do you think it’s still warm inside…?
>>64662562I'm gonna need a sauce there buddy.
>>64662418Zoomers have been so engrossed in the culture war and watching police body cam videos that they can't comprehend not endlessly seething over trivial shit.I infintely prefer zombie autism over the current brand of "HOW TO BE ELITE TOP TIER OPERATOR LOADOUT KIT"
>>64662536>>Zombieland>>warm bodiesThese 2 really were good.
>>64662570Pretty okay movie. On the tale end of the zombie trend. Great knocker though. Which is IMPERATIVE to a zombie movie.
>>64662584I unironically believe that the zombie trend wasn’t killed by the over consumption of bad quality films, but the abundance of GREAT quality films and shows. >zombieland >warm bodies >firsr 2 seasons of walking dead >world war z>resident evil series>couple more im forgetting These basically brought zombie theme to its peak and hit the ceiling. Everything else that came after couldn’t do much better, therefore wouldn’t make much money, so it withered and died. Which is why the only new zombie movies we get are remakes, reboots, and sequels. The theme just needs to sleep for another 5-10 before it can be reanimated and be successful.
>>64660539>back in the daythat was like 5 years ago zoomer
>>64662594>before it can be reanimatedkek, nice
>>64662418>t. Zoomer Why do you think "Z-max" was vmax instead of just green anodizing on ball ammo or something. Do you really think people bought expanding .223 hollowpoints in bulk for varmint hunting? Zombie shit predates the walking dead TV show, it was part of the confluence of the post 9/11 taotwawki doomsday prepper thing as the socially acceptable larp reason to own a lifestraw and recently no longer assault weapon banned ARs
>>64662597Closer to 10 or 15 desu. That green zombie shit fell off quick. Kind of a shame too, I liked being able to buy zombie Bin-Laden targets at the range.
>>64662687I just want a few boxes
>>64662683Bro take your meds, or I’ll be in your walls tonight
>>64662418Zoomers can’t understand we used to live in an era where not every singular granular thing needs to be examined through a lens of race politics. That mostly started to pick up steam in 2008 in order to distract from major issues stemming from class and banking practices
>>64662594Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead is unironically awesome and easily a top 3 film for him. Dead rising 1 was also incredible and never topped in that series
>>64662708Excellent movie. Have not played dead rising yet. The only zombie games I’ve played are L4D2, a little bit of Dead Island, and a shit ton of Project Zomboid. Im pretty PZ is the only thing keeping zombies alive right now.
I still have a couple of those huge boxes of "zombie 00 buck" with the bright green hulls sitting around in a can somewhere. Shit was crazy cheap back then.
>>64662702Basically. Social media and smartphones made it so every second of our life can be linked to a vast communication network. Which bombards us with so much information, it’s made it all worthless. There is constant shaming for NOT putting things in context of global politics, which is part of the reason genz is so stressed all the time, they can’t escape the constant nagging of “you should be doing something to fix the whole world”.
>>64662711Dead Rising 1 is fun as fuck and has a ton of replay value to boot. You're kinda expected to eat shit on your first playthrough of the campaign, so don't worry.Word of warning, don't pay for the remake, shit's wildly overpriced and has a ton of weird changes for no reason. Get the original on Steam or the 360 if you can.Also if you're into Project Zomboid, maybe check out CDDA if you're hungry for an even more autistic zombie survival sim game.
>>64660539Culture war happened and people started to believe tranny death squads were gonna come cut their ducks off by force, so zombies died as a trend
>>64662731I’ll have to check out both, especially CCDA if it’s anything like PZ. I love a good proper sim. Reinforcing a regular house, gathering supplies, and autistically organizing my storage.
>>64662740CDDA and PZ share roughly the same basic premise, but CDDA is more comparable to Dwarf Fortress than anything. Honestly, I would say it has more in-depth simulation elements than Dwarf Fortress at this point, which should tell you a lot.If you do check it out, don't be afraid to google shit and have the wiki open. You're gonna be tracking a ton of different stats and using most of your keyboard.
