This is pretty much choosing weither you'd like to freeze to death or be burned to death. Both are unpleasant as heck, and you don't what 'em to happen.

That aside, a nuclear apoc would be easier to survive in.

Well, not really, radiactivity and nuclear winter sucks... but at least, the odds are that your dead would be a lot more impersonal than in a zombie apocalypse.. I mean, I would prefer to die because of impersonal radiation poisoning or out of hunger than being devoured by a ravenous zombie!

Zombi-pocalypse for me.

No radioactivity, plenty of food, fuel and water for survival. Also, there's a rather clear end-game... get rid of the zombies, and the world is okay again.

Nukes covering everything would kinda spoil the earth a bit, doncha think?

I voted for Nuclear apocalypse but I now realise that I'd prefer a zombie one. I've always wanted to loot a supermarket in a zombie apocalypse (Cliched much?).

You assume there'd be tihngs to loot. think, depending on how fast everything spread, everything may already be looted by the time you get to it, unless the infection spreads UBER FAUST in which case no one would have had time to loot

I think I'd prefer nuclear fallout against me having to kill all my friends, relatives, loved ones, pets, etc. Z day may leave the world intact, but with everyone eating up everyone else, there wouldn't be much more left from technology or society than after a nuclear blast.

If I had to choose? Well, none of those options are appealing.

I'd however choose a zombie apocalypse... Since you actually have a chance to survive it.

I don't think you guys realize how games are... Well... games. In fallout, the hero start in secluded vault which was supposedly (badly) shielded from the radiation... After so long that they are actually the second generation of people and their grandparents are already dead

The chance that someone writing here would be included in such a situation would be infinitesimal.
