I thought you might want to see that. I figured you all might have something to say about it.

All that needs to be said is this: FIRE = BAD

Wow, the first weapon they suggest is a flamethrower. That just seems like a really bad idea to me. Fact is that the article features many of the preconceived assumptions that many people here have had. I thought the zombie cards were funny though. The combat vs range shooting part was (is) important to consider too. It was an ok article.

A simple article without any really depth, but it made some decent points.
It actually stress that a flamethrower is impractical weapon, though it left out shambling, burning monsters.
It barely mentioned anything about the cons of chainsaw or swords.

i give it 4/10

Winning isn't a reason to get a reward but one less poke in the eye, while losing gets you two.

Read it thrice. Nothing that makes me re-think The Master Plan.

Namely because I can't really imagine getting my hands on a flamethrower.

I'd just like to say I strongly disagree.

Other than the last part of my response it was a pretty good read.
