I mentioned above that Glenn probably learned the strets and such from cutting around traffic so he didn't have to pay for an order he was late delivering. Games don't make you tactically proficient. Ask your husband. Some people are just born thinking certain ways. Most people today are geared toward their "Feelings". Logic escapes them.

I guess that could happen. I was just saying those tactical video games and shit like that, get people in a certain state of mind. I mean, a person who trains or at least thinks about how to deal with a bad situation is going to be able to deal with it better than somebody who doesn't. Thats why I was wondering how Glenn was so much better at dealing with those problems while under so much stress.

i think primes right some people are juts natural born leaders. they have a very tactical like mind and are good at problem solving. still that alone doesnt mean you'll seduced in life, the skill that can keep you alive in a shtf situation dont always translate well to the normal everyday life we're all living in wich is why he was stuck delivering pizza's. not everyone lives up to their potential. after all he had to have survived as long as he did some way. its that kind of edge that will keep some people alive while others become zed bait. rember were months into a zpoc by this time and only the strong or the lucky will have survived. probably a mix of both!

Yeah but they don't take in to account most people don't realize that they can still function even with a bullet in them. Even with a fatal shot a human body can function for several minutes until they bleed out. Now a head shot that destroys the brain is completely different. Video games can't and don't prepare you for that. Video games don't prepare you for shit flying by your head, shit happening on all sides. They don't prepare you for the actual physical contact and physical injury. You don't get prepared for the elements and heat or cold. People get soft playing video games. They sit around and eat shit and drink crap and get soft. They don't learn how to manipulate a safety or reload an empty mag.
I think Glenn or even someone like him in real life might be better at dealing with stress because they deal with life. They are out busting their ass and trying to make it. They are finding ways to get around and beat the next guy to make a dollar and survive. They are the ones finding ways to pay their electric bill without losing their car or getting their insurance dropped. They use their heads to survive daily in the rat race. Doing the physical stuff and knowing how to use angles is only about 10% of what goes through their head.
If you think about it, the people that might do best in a SHTF situation are the people who live that way now. Homeless and such. How much different then their real life can it be. Zeds, well they're another story. You have to survive being eaten or infected. But as far as living without the amenities and electric and fast food and such, the street people are doing it now. There will be less change in their life then there will be in the life of someone who works 8 to 4 with weekends off, has a 60 minute round trip to and from work, comes home tosses left overs in the microwave and sits down to play games, check email or watch the news. Hell a homeless person can find food, stay warm and be safe in an alley or abandoned building. What happens when the power goes out in a city? People shit themself.
And there I did it again. Glenn is better because he lives it when everyone else has it easy. There are a lot of Glenns out there. Some are just Zeds now.

I was just suggesting those video games put you in certain state of mind, not that they prepare you for anything. What I ment by training was hand-on experience. Yeah, a hard life does help you deal with shit better.
As for homeless people, they might be able to find food and shit, but if they're those kind of homeless people who just don't care to improve they're lives, then they won't last long.

"I think Glenn or even someone like him in real life might be better at dealing with stress because they deal with life" I agree...
I'm not a cop, I'd love to be a cop but thats not what life had in store for me... I'd love to be a doctor or ER Nurse but again it's just not what life had planned for me... But i've been in MANY situations that required me to think like a cop or act like a doctor or nurse and i come through each time... What i mean is just cos someone is a Cop doesn't mean they're a good/useful cop, likewise just cos someone is a doctor or a nurse doesn't mean they're any good at what they do... There are characteristics that make someone right for a certain roll, and yet many people who might have the character and skills to fulfill the roll of say "doctor" aren't actually a doctor.
How one reacts in the midst of chaos, you know, the one who keeps their head while everyone around them is losing theirs, they're the survivors.
I agree with Michael to a degree but also see the other side of the coin on the video games issue... relying to heavily on what you "think" you know could get you killed... conversely however, if you're prepared to accept the possibility of the existence of say in this case ZOmbies, cos you've played the games and seen the movies, then your likely to react to the SHTF much faster. You're less likely to sit at home waiting for the next emergency broadcast.
Anyhoo i gotta go...
have a great day everyone

To be honest, anybody who plays the zombie video games for just the fun factor would probably love to see the z-poc. Thats until they see how serious it is and that it isn't a game, its reality. What I ment by the whole state-of-mind thing was that those tactical games make you think deeply about what your doing in the game in order to get through it. I think some MMORPGs, like World Of Warcraft, require a lot of team work and careful planning to do a certain task, because they would only have one chance to do it. A thinker's state of mind is all I was saying.

True, tactical games require some thought. Most first perosn shooters with multiple lives and run and gun scenarios require thumbs and electricity.

wow just watched the talking dead the after show of the walking dead on demand and the answer to the question was 99.9 percent of people would not have gone after the little girl. WOW!!! also about the question that was going around here before about why the walkers didnt smeel them under the car the creater of the walking dead comic books and tv show answered it. and its like what i said, they only have a the simplest sense of smell which is to different that they smell different then the living, they can't hunt by smell. which makes sense because really could you have smelled those people under the car. cause i wouldn't be able to. and always remember if you can't do it, zombies probably can't do it either.
