Vampirubi? They suck my blood and my soul? I don't think demons/devils can be undead. They inherently have nasty cases of immortal. That and the whole part where they don't have a separation of body and soul, so if they are destroyed they are wholly destroyed with nothing remaining to be animateable into a state of undeath.

Reminds me of a particular individual. Ever heard of Raziel from the Legacy of Kain series?
He was a human who was turned into a vampire. So instead of gaining his sustenance from food, he gained his sustenance from devouring blood.
THEN, he was executed as a traitor and thrown into the vortex, a giant whirlpool, and his body was destroyed. His soul, however, was reanimated, for lack of a better term, by the Elder God, and instead of gaining his sustenance from blood, he gained his sustenance from devouring souls.
So he's somewhat of a Vampirabus, I guess. I like to call him Undead Level 2, since he's gone through two cycles of undeath.

Man, screw Soul Reaver, that game was one gigantic block-pushing puzzle. I watched my friend Marcus play it, and while Raziel is pretty cool and all, it just didn't make up for the sheer amount of box-relocation it had going on.
Yes, I agree that Soul Reaver was kinda difficult to play, especially after playing Soul Reaver 2. But I seldom played those games for the gameplay, sad as that is. It's the freakin awesome story that makes me love that series. And if box-pushing isn't your thing, Soul Reaver's the only installment that uses it so heavily.
1) Fuck you Andrew for bringing up Vampirates. I had purged that ridiculous book from my memory.
2) Am I the only crazy one, or does anyone else have small part of them that actually wishes for a zombie attack, because we've seen the movies, we know how to survive, and it would bring a lot of excitement to an otherwise monotonous life.
I mean, don't get me wrong, if it did actually happen, I'd probably be eternally pissed off for hoping for such a thing, but still. It would be kind of exciting.
I have elaborate plans. When everyone else is rushing to Wal-Mart and the other big box stores to loot canned food and electronics I'm heading for Home Depot with a truck to load up on tools, lumber, a big tank for gas or water and all the solar panels I can scrounge up.
First thing I'd do is knock a hole in the wall between my apartment and the next one over, board over their door and windows so the only way in is through my apartment and balcony, and make this place a luxury 4 room/2 bath suite, if nothing else to expand storage area.
Over time I'd expand slowly, making sure fortifications were solid and well reinforced with metal screws (not nails!) and perhaps metal brackets. Solar panels go on the roof to charge batteries.
If you survive longer than everyone else you can loot their stuff later, its a simple matter of waiting until everyone else runs off. The pickings might be slimmer at the big places, but a lot of heavy, useful stuff will still be sitting around.
Heading out to my mom's would be even better, since she has land and between foraging and growing food we could probably live more comfortably, except her place is a lot smaller and land would have to be fortified, so looting raw materials to build with is even more important.
Until the Internet went down I'd go on a spree and locally save (optimally print out) resources that would help one survive in a post-consumer economy. Simple shit like salvaging seeds from crops will become damn important.
As I see it, we'll probably lose power and Internet first, phone service will follow, then finally the cell phones will fail. A battery operated HAM radio would be priceless in such a situation. Radio and airborne TV signals will be the last to go, radio can survive the longest as the production is the simplest and anyone with a generator could transmit a signal.
I've been thinking for a while about starting some sort of "apocalypse survival wiki", a lot of shit that would come in handy after other, more realistic disasters (mass extinction due to disease, global nuclear war) that once was common knowledge for survival people nowadays don't know how to do and it needs to be freely available.
It might be a fun project for us, anyhow. Just remember. First thing you do when it looks like shit is going to go down hardcore is to fill up the bathtub with clean water.
Me and my brother decided to head for the police station if we have a zombie outbreak. There'll be more weapons than any place else, since we don't seem to have a gun store anywhere close.
I wouldn't think that would be the best idea. During the time it was safest the police would still be out, probably in mass, to stem the tide of looting, any attempt to snitch weapons from a police station would probably get you thrown in the slammer.
At the point where even the police are forced to abandon the area, and you'd be able to break in to the station, it seems very unlikely that they're going to leave weapons behind.
Even so, the actual police station we have is not only classy, but also quite the fortress if we needed simply to hide. Not only is it a big building, but it's also attached to a tavern/restaurant. That way, we'd even have our own food supply, I'm sure.
I wouldn't mind any disaster that erased all credit records. I might feel bad if too many people that I liked died, but otherwise I'm pretty confident I'd be one of the survivors (just as long as I wasn't one of the first victims who gets caught completely off guard). I'd head for the mountains. With any luck I'd live a calm, comfortable life.
While sometimes it does seem nice to revert to a life without all this stress and complication, I'm not sure I could handle it. The biggest thing is the loss of creativity. With the constant struggle for survival, creativity would almost completely halt in our society. No more books, no more music, no more video games. We'd revert to an animal-like state, which for me is just terrifying. Without expanding outside the struggle to survive, you might as well just succumb.
I think I'll explain, just so I'm not misunderstood. I often think of viruses (viri) and bacteria, specifically the ones that cause disease. The reason they cause disease is that they use our bodies as reproductive grounds, either sabotaging our cells or producing toxins. What is the purpose of all this reproduction? Reproduction. If the only purpose of these activities is to make more viruses and bacteria, why even bother in the first place? I extend the same thought to other species. If the only point is to survive, then why exist?
Of course, this line of reasoning pretty much negates all life. But maybe it's the parasiting, devouring nature of life that turns me off. Always needing to take from the outside, while other parts of nature are content to just be there without the need to take from other things. Not to say that they don't interfere with each other, but rocks don't really care that much when they're turned into sand by the waves. Maybe that's why I'm so fascinated with space and its planets. As far as we know, they just exist.
This is referring to Surviving from the Zombies in fortified house-
What if the infection where spread from something like spores emitted from the body of already infected humans? Maybe you could build and underground zombies hide out? But power would be a problem….. What about an underground nuclear facility to power it.
Hmmmmmm maybe its just better to run to space when that happens. But that may be hard also.

EDIT: Vampirataur? Half-man, Half-beast, All-Vampire?
You mean Ocarina of Time?
I think he means Tomb Raider.

Let's see if that makes it through.
You're right. Let's start a zombie infestation right now.

I'd slip my DS in my pocket so I could play Metriod PH to practice up!

I guess it matters how the infection spreds.
