The Walking Dead: What We Learned

It's tough to stay calm when a swarm of staggering undead are shuffling at you, but don't spray and pray with your firearm like a total noob. Take a moment to breathe and focus your shots. Once you do that, it'll be easy headshots for the rest of your terrible life in the zombie apocalypse. In the event that you're not in a world packed with zombies, this bit of advice could help plenty, too. Always remember to keep your composure in the face of danger. A cooler head will always prevail. But mostly, we recommend it for when you want to shoot zombies in the face.

You should be rewarded for your accomplishments. Whether in the form of gamer points or something tangible, there's no shame in bragging about your difficult feats. But, if you're slaying zombies, don't make a necklace of cut-off ears or any other parts from your victim. We know hygiene isn't a big priority in that world, but that has to smell downright horrendous.

Always check the weather forecast before making plans! It can go from sunny to raining at any moment, and a downpour could destroy your plans. In this case, Rick and Glenn covered themselves in blood and body parts from zombies. Drenched in the gruesome guts, they began to walk through the undead city. Then, out of nowhere, it started to rain and washed away all of the disgusting material, revealing their oh-so-scrumptious flesh to the zombies. Yet another elaborate plan ruined by Mother Nature. Don't let her piss on your parade; check the forecast.

Imagine you're put into T-Dog's situation. Zombies are lurking nearby, and you need to hide or you'll face unrelenting teeth ripping into your skin. First thing that comes to mind is "Crap! I need to find a place to hide." What does he do next? He gashes his arm on an open car door. Damn it, T-Dog. You missed the second step: mind your surroundings.  You don't just realize you need to hide and then run into objects like a friggin' blind man. You need to take a moment and analyze the environment. Look around before you put that hiding plan into motion. Seriously, when people are eating and ripping one another to shreds, how embarrassing is it to say "Yeah, I got this huge scar from a parked car." Don't make the same mistake T-Dog did.
