I just found dpud a new hobby

Welcome to the world of Humans vs. Zombies (HvZ), a tag-like game that is the latest trend in campus entertainment. An HvZ game typically involves hundreds of students and runs 24 hours a day for days on end; dwindling numbers of humans try to fend off and outlast growing legions of zombies.
The rules are fundamentally simple: Zombie tags human, human becomes a zombie. Unlike movie zombies, with shambling walks and undead makeup, zombies in the game just wear headbands to distinguish them from armband-wearing humans. And they are free to sprint.
Humans ward off zombies with Nerf guns or by hitting them with a balled-up sock — a defensive move that stuns the zombie, usually for 15 minutes. The goal is to still be a live human at the end.

They have a website dedicated to the game here. It sounds like fun, and it's probably good training for the coming apocalypse.

1 That looks like a lot of fun. But I disapprove of the no projectiles that hurt rule, I mean, why the hell else have I been stocking up on Jarts?

Fast zombies suck.

3 I'm not particularly a fan of the fast zombies, either, but the game would be pretty tough if one side had to shamble around slowly. And I suspect it wouldn't be much fun.

4 It might not be as much fun but it would be a lot easier for me to hit them with a Jart.
