Let the uploads commence!

Eee, I love this meme. Ganked from jenna_thorn and cluegirl.


You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:
1. one weapon.
2. one song blasting on the speakers.
3. one famous person to fight alongside you.

Weapon can be real or fictional, you may assume endless ammo if applicable. Person can be real or fictional.


1. I don't know guns, but I want one of those that you have to hold with both hands at the level of your hips and pump between shots because the shells are so freaking powerful that they blow whatever's hit by them into the next room.

2. Black Sabbath, "Iron Man." Unless I were going for Tarantino-esque irony, in which case I'd take some Morrissey, probably "We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful." (Though "You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side" would be genuinely awesome zombie-killing music.)

3. John McClane.


I love all the music choices people have been selecting for this--Ballroom Blitz, O Fortuna... I think we should make a playlist. "Music to Kill Zombies By." We could have it ready by June 13th, this year's BLITEOTW!

Oh what an amazing meme! Hee! Ooh, I would pick Morrissey I think! For the second question, I mean! I don't think he'd be much help fighting Zombies! You'll see which song I chose in a little while ;).

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, good, I want to see your choices!

[jenna-thorn.livejournal.com]

OOh! I like the idea of the mix disc. How about adding Flogging Molly's "Devil's Dance Floor" (blame unclesiko for suggesting it, though he went with something else that I can't hum) and shrieking_ell came up with the Ramone's "I Wanna Be Sedated."

I can't upload (dunno how) but if you think about doing this, I can volunteer to email you mp3s of the ones I have.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Yeah, let me see how much the meme gets around, and I can do a zip-archive and a megaupload, I'm sure!

[phantomminuet.livejournal.com]

"Devil's Dance Floor"...that is the best song ever.

[jenna-thorn.livejournal.com]

Hee! It's one of the ones that I just hit repeat on. I can drive everyone else in the car nuts with it.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

And I just discovered I have Devil's Dance Floor--I think I'd only listened to it once. Wow, that's a great choice!

[phantomminuet.livejournal.com]

1. An Uzi, with extra clips
2. "Bad Moon Rising", CCR
3. Ellen Ripley.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Actually, the gun I'm imagining is sort of the thing Ripley was carrying in Aliens, yeah! :D

If I Had A Rocket Launcher....

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

1. Hmmm. My preferred weapon in FPS is the rocket launcher, but... for zombies, I think a nice chain gun or other "portable" submachine gun. Shred them suckers.

2. "Bodies" by Drowning Pool or "The Game" by Motorhead.

3. Snake Plisskin or Mal Reynolds.

And thanks for reminding me about BLITEOTWD08. I did a song about that (http://filkertom-itom.blogspot.com/2007/06/044-blog-like-its-end-of-world.html) last year.

Re: If I Had A Rocket Launcher....

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Damn, I have a lot of songs that I don't even know that I have to look up!

[ll24ever.livejournal.com]

1. A sword
2. "Another one bites the dust"
3. Gary Oldman

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

It's CRAZY GARY OLDMAN! :D

Actually, Gary Oldman's Commissioner Gordon would be one I could really get behind.

[adina-atl.livejournal.com]

1. Flame-thrower!
2. For sheer surrealism, Time Warp from RHPS.
3. McGyver, who could cobble together a bigger, badder, hotter flame-thrower.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Ha, Time Warp would be brilliant! And McGyver IS a brilliant answer.

[http://users.livejournal.com/shadowkittykat_/]

1)A high-powered rifle with a chainsaw duct-taped to the handle, so there's a barrel at one end and blades on the other.
2)Strangely Enough, Scissor Sisters' "I Don't Feel Like Dancing" (especially because a fight is frequently referred to as dancing in the series my Chara in #3 comes from)
3) Harry Dresden, of the Dresden Files. Man is a walking, talking, smart-mouth flamethrower who can do shields

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

*checks out the song* Not bad, in a surreal kind of way!

[dancing-moon.livejournal.com]

1. Something which shoots fiery deathrays, that Agatha Heterodyne (http://www.girlgeniusonline) cobbled together from stuff found in the hardware store.
2. Anti-Zombie by Die Ärzte
3. Agatha, of course. Crazy genius and monsterkiller extraordinaire? Yes please, I want her on my side!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Agatha! Oh, god, I love her. Actually it's Klaus I'm dizzy for, just dizzy. *ships Agatha/Klaus, to heck with Gil*

[dancing-moon.livejournal.com]

What? But Agatha and Gil are adorable together and that leaves Klaus all for ME!. Anyway, Agatha is so freaking cool that not only would she build me a kickass gun, but all the minions other shoppers left unzombified would be mobilized into a army fighting for us. Whereas Klaus might just throw me to the zombies and promise to put me back together afterwards...

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Gil actually is cool, but I can't even see him when Klaus is around; 's like the moon after sunrise. :D

[capri-chan.livejournal.com]

*perks up* Fictional is an option?

And infinite ammo, huh?

Well, you can't blame me for taking advantage of the rules, even if I personally think it's cheating.

1. RYNOCIRATOR from Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal.
2. Bad Idea (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/badidea) by Lemon Demon. (Alternatively, Wesker's mercenaries theme from RE4)
3. Albert Wesker from the Resident Evil video game* series (Alternatively, Dr. McNinja (http://www.drmcninja.com/))

Reasons:

1. RYNOCIRATOR is the name of the completely upgraded RY3NO, which is the third version of the RYNO from the first game. RYNO stands for "Rip Ya a New One," so I can only assume that the third version will "Rip Ya 3 New Ones." It's beautiful. You fire it once, and every single enemy on screen turns to ash.
2.
a. Most of the lyrics aren't quite inspiring for a zombie battle but the last line is "It's time to kick some zombie ass."
b. This one is more inspiring in general.
3.
a. Fuck Redfield, the only reason Wesker didn't take the extra five seconds necessary to snap his neck is because he wants to kill him slowly, so he can enjoy his death, because he hates him THAT MUCH. And the whole "Redfield's the hero of the game" thing. We're supposed to like him more, I think, but I generally end up cursing at him during the end when he escapes from Wesker AGAIN due to sheer dumb luck.
b. On the other hand...Wesker's probably the reason there's a zombie outbreak in the first place, so I suppose I'll choose someone else with Zombie experience. Besides, I don't see how you go wrong with someone who is a doctor and a ninja.

(I probably wouldn't have any time to read it, but I think I'd like to bring my Zombie Survival Guide as well.)

*Specified the video game series because the movies suck. If I wanted the movies, I'd go with Alice, the "heroine" of the films. She's protect me with her Mary-Sue powers.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I agree, the song itself wouldn't keep me going, but that animation is AWESOME.

[cymbeline.livejournal.com]

I wandered over from another journal but wanted to give some other answers.

1. Flame Cannon
2. "This Sh*t Will F*ck You Up" by Combichrist
3. River Tam from Firefly

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

*checks out Combichrist* Ooh, I love that all of their songs have EXPLICIT marked on their lyrics on iTunes!

[cymbeline.livejournal.com]

and they are explicit. Raw, angry, lustful. Good Zombie Killin' tunes!

[walksbyherself]

HOLY CRAP

This year's BLITEOTW is the day before my graduation. It's going to be AWESOME.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

KICKASS! :D

[kijeren.livejournal.com]

(here from linaelyn...)

Are you really gonna compile the playlist? May I friend you, so as to keep track of that? I'd love to see the final product.

Would you like people to link you? This meme is all over my f-list, and you and I don't seem to have many any friends in common...

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome to friend! Once I get a good perspective on the songs presented and see which I have or can get easily, I'll ask if others have links to the ones I don't/can't. And you're welcome to link, too, thank you!

[tekalynn.livejournal.com]

I posted mine already on my journal, but here it is again:

1. The Yamato wave-cannon from Space Cruiser Yamato
2. "Number One" from Bleach
3. Yamamoto, the captain of the Soul Society First Division, again from Bleach


No zombies. No mall, for that matter. Or much else that's not smoking.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

No mall? NOOOOOOOOO!

[herbmcsidhe.livejournal.com]

For a companion, Shaun, because I want a proven survivor. (Shaun of the Dead)
For music, either "We don't need another Hero" by Tina Turner (which has been my earwom for the past three days) or "Sole Survivor" by flue Oyster Cult
And I'm rather partial to flame throwers...

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

At first I was thinking "Sole Survivor" by Asia, which would also have been cool! (I actually didn't know the Blue Oyster Cult one, shame on me. ^_^ )

[herbmcsidhe.livejournal.com]

John McClane would be good, but only if he's from DH1 or 2. "Die Already" (DH4) McClane, I don't know so much about...

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I HATED DH4. Ugh. Couldn't connect with the film at all.

[glockgal.livejournal.com]

I LOVE THIS MEME TOO!! OMG your answers make me love you even more, especially because I can imagine it far, far too easily. HEEE.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

And I found your answer and I have it on the list! (Now I just have to make time to get the damn songs and maybe there will BE a list, gah.)

[berseker.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don´t know about the songs. Most people are picking some pretty hard-core stuff, but I think I could make them melt (or whatever is is that zombies do when they, uh, die) just by playing Barbie Soundtracks at them. :)




(totally not related, but did you see this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq13uhmAxBk&NR=1) thing? :Is weird as hell, but it reminded me of some of your stuff in a strange twisted way. Think Snape and Harry discussing your Spanish Inquisition AU. Or even JPW.)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Now I want Aqua's Barbie Girl for someone's soundtrack!

And--omigod, that's such a hoot! Pretty-looking victim, too, yummm! :D

[berseker.livejournal.com]

It would totally work. I can just see the zombies melting. And if they don´t, we can play the parodies (I´m a Ken Doll, and the other stuff).


(oh yes, the victim is cute. And, for some reason, I can kinda see Harry telling Snape he has an unique style. Ok, maybe not- but he does. Anyone can see.)
