our view Philosophy of humans vs. zombies

It’s back again. The epic battles between college students with the bandanas. Humans versus zombies, a tale that has been reenacted over and over throughout literature and cinema. This game is not just about the acting out of some sci-fi fantasy that is shared amongst comic loving geeks. It’s about just having fun. All the so-called “cool people” look at it and just say it’s stupid and just simply childish. But is it really? Are we really to believe that running around, playing with a team, and trying to win against an opponent, regardless of the team, is not the simplest form of fun? If you are stressed after a long day of exams, then the best stress reliever is to go outside with the zombie-killing Nerf gun and shoot some zombies! Take out that pent-up anger or frustration on the living dead, but don’t get caught. The game can help you learn basic tactics in life such as tracking, hunting and killing a faux zombie. Just think how skilled you could be when the apocalypse comes or you could think about it as some daily exercise. Yeah, the game might not be as exciting as spending your Marcus Barkley/STAFF Thursday afternoons drunk dancing, diligently studying, spending time with your significant other or hanging out with Christmas trees love the summer, right? your usual group of friends, but there are several students who give themselves over to the simple joys of just running and I recently read a US News report and earlier obsessed with instant gratification playing a more complex version of the old school tag. that the list of candidates who every year. and getting ahead of everyone So the next time that you are judging the people who add might run for the GOP Presidential Already else.
