Yet another update: Good news everybody! The Dying Light launch is back on, at the same place and the same time, on February 26th. Better yet, we now have ten copies of the game to give away to each of our double ticket winners – which makes the wait worth it if you ask me. All your previous entries still count, so don’t worry about having to enter again if you already have. If you still haven’t entered via the comments below, get cracking. We’ll be drawing winners on Monday the 23rd of February. Good night – and good luck!
Update: It seems like the local Dying Light delay has affected more than just the game. The launch event has been put on hold indefinitely, but we should be getting more information about it this week. Either way, until we know for sure when (and if) the event is still happening, we won’t be drawing winners. Sorry everybody.
Original Article follows: This year isn’t content to start slowly, and Dying Light is ready and waiting to kick off the gaming calendar with a bang. What better why to celebrate the parkour focused zombie skull smasher than spending an evening at the game’s official launch with us? Or, even better, with a free copy of the game
We want you, yes you, to join us at the official Dying Light launch in Johannesburg on the 29th of January. Geoff and Zoe will be there in person too, so it could be your only chance to see Zoe dive in for a fabled hug and get rejected…in person! All you have to do is comment below and tell us which of your daily skills would help you survive the zombie apocalypse, and who would you partner up with to survive the endless undead days and nights?
For example, my vast knowledge of cabbage farming is incredibly useful. Not only can I grow food to eat, but I can fling the leafy balls of death at incoming walkers. At the very least it’ll slow them down. As for a partner, well I think I’d take anyone but Darryn. Seriously, he’ll leave you high and dry when the zombies start attacking – he’s assured us of this countless times.
We’ll pick the best ten to join us at the launch, but everyone who enters has the chance to win a copy of the game on the platform of their choice too. That’s going to be left up to our friend Random.org to decide.
The competition closes on the 23rd of January, with winners picked the following Monday. As always you’ll actually need to be in Johannesburg on the 29th for the event via your own means. We’d love to fly you guys in from all over the country, but we also love not going hungry.
If you’re still not caught up on Dying Light, then be sure to check out my hands-on preview from last year, as well as a large chunk of gameplay. The night isn’t going to be your friend.

I’d use my seriously OP argument skills and bore the zombies away by just arguing as to whether or not they CAN in fact exist. And I’d do this with my other personality, because those are the best arguments I have – the ones I have with myself.
Also, I’m in CT so I’m only entering for the game, not for the event. 🙁 Pity, but hey.

I would totally go Dead Rising on the apocalypse!
As for my companion, it would have to be my Gran. (Dont judge me!) Because she can cook anything and make it amazing! And nothing is better after a day of creative zombie slaying than a good rat casserole! 😀

My skills are financial in nature which makes me a godsend for counting the zombie apocalypse we going up against.

Skills: I have already considered several plans should a zombie apocalypse occur and I’ve looked at several nearby shopping centres, complexes and houses with an eye to how easily they can be fortified and how easily food and other supplies can be acquired.
I have also created a database of information on survival that can also be used in case of of sudden transportation to an alternate world before, during or after the zombie apocalypse just as easily as it can be used to recover civilisation once the zombie apocalypse ends (I get bored easily and it killed a few days with nothing better to do).
Partner: My brother who is a former Springbok Scout and is currently a Rover and heads his own Scout troop and frequently goes on hikes, camping trips and similiar.
He has advanced outdoors survival knowledge, basic zombie survival knowledge, is aware of my personality and is unlikely to stab me in the back and leave me as bait.

One thing about this competition that bothers me slightly is that during a zombie apocalypse it would be best to work in a group of 4 ~ 8 people.
To few and keeping watch at night, splitting chores and similiar will take up to much time leading to a drop in moral, awareness and general ability to function and thus survive.
To many and you will have difficulty travelling without making excessive noise and supplies will be consumed faster than you are likely to be able to replenish them.

Daily skill is that I’m chubby, which in turn means I know how to handle a fork, which then in turn means, I’ll F anything up with my fork skills.
I’d partner up with a Capetonian. Capetonians have a higher chance of not having teeth, therefore if he/she get’s infected there’s no way they can bite and infect me.

In my state of
existence (if you could call it that) I rarely acquire the motivation
to apply any sort of momentum to my physical being. The populous in
my direct vicinity has already taken notice of such deportment. Those
that engage in a visual gaze at my external motionless physique will
usually smile in an affectedly coquettish, coy, or ingratiating
manner but within a period of one flattering of moth wings it will
turn to disparage. They have asserted many honorific titles to my
person such as “nugatory”, “ineffectual” and even
“damn useless” but never have I encountered remarks more
befitting than “Poke it! Let’s see if it moves!”.
Spasmodically a stench will raise from the vague expulsion of warmth
which my anatomy provokes and as such will result in declarations of
repugnance by those observing. Within all the remarks and the idle
sight to which I have grown so lovingly accustomed to I have noticed
a denouement; “I must be dead!”
This inevitably can
be chronicled as my ultimate adroitness. I can clearly hear one of my
kinsfolk reply “The looser has a skill. Dead as a doornail but
he still has a use! Go figure.”.
So without further ado I
would declare that being dead I possess the ultimate skill. Zombies
would ignore me and go for easier pray. I would need low sustenance
but definitely some entertainment. In comes my chosen partner. Put
your hands together for my dear friend; Julius Malema. Chain him up
and barricade him up so no zombie can reach him. Sit at a distance
and let the entertainment begin. Soon the earth will be with fewer
zombies as the buggers will be laughing their asses off at the clown
at the other side of the fence. There you go Julius…spew that
comedy forth.

January 14, 2015 at 14:44
I would partner up with Darryn, because I can probably outrun him. #1 Cardio.
Then I just so happen to be able to play guitar – I shall then use my axe to fend of my enemies with pure rock!
EDIT: On second thought I’d partner up with JJ. The zombies will clearly be attracted to his superior eye shadow and thus give me ample chance to escape. Also, in the event that they ignore him, we can shred them to bits with both our axes!
GammarayZa
January 14, 2015 at 15:05
My skill is instantaneous bowel movement when zombies are nearby. Not only is it an audible early warning system, but it also reduces the surface friction needed by zombies in order to chase me. As for a partner, I’ll choose Gabe, because he’s holding HL3 hostage and I’m pretty sure I can outrun him.
You brought this on yourself, Gabe.

I would use my passive-aggressive comments and subtle sarcasm to slowly undermine the zombies’s confidence and sense of self worth, until they were brought to a state of inaction. Then we could all sit around together and listen to Morrissey, while complaining about how shite everything is.
I’m in CT and the thought of leaving fills me with dread, so I’m just entering the lucky draw for the game.
Ilden Webber
January 14, 2015 at 16:02
Hm, my ability to miss the obvious, would come in handy, as I’d probably not even notice the zombie apocalypse happened, kind of like that scene in Shaun of the Dead. And I’d like to perhaps have Bill Murray as my partner, so we can recreate that scene in Zombieland.

January 14, 2015 at 17:17
I have worked in multiple fields, from pc technician, to property development, and farming. I could survive off the land and grow my own food. Also I also have a good understanding of a structure’s integrity, allowing me to build and maintain barricades. I’d partner up with my wife, since who else to keep me on my toes and would who better to keep for company.
Jim Lenoir (Banana Jim)
January 14, 2015 at 18:37
Clearly my ability to avoid meeting people at the RiverClub, attending braais. going to SPUR meet-and-greets or providing adequate proof that I actually exist has to be the greatest survival tactic ever.
Does Lazygamer have the balls to see if the Banana would pitch up? Muahahahahahaha!

Zombies can’t swim and I have no naval rank to speak of. He can sail while I slave away, uh… catching fish.

Sure my knowledge of completely random facts would come in useful somehow. Maybe I can bore the zombies to death with a fact about 1895.
My zombie boring partner is my friend Rob @orbsicle. His misspent youth in Cardiff taught him all about improvised explosives. Also he’s slower than me, so good bait.
Tony Pitts
January 15, 2015 at 05:35
My daily skill would be my Lackadaisical way of going about the world. This would help me because I feel I could just wipe guts on my clothes and stroll down the street to blend in with zombies. I never rush or panic so they’d assume I was one of them. My partner would have to be ScarJo as Black Widow because she’d be great if Shit hits the fan, and we will need to repopulate 😉 after we find the cure and save what’s left of the world.
Andre Els

January 15, 2015 at 07:39
I would use my powers of trash talking to confuse the zombies to death and my ability to get myself lost to “find” a good hiding spot that even I don’t know where it is. I would also bring a couple of my guns just in case. I have heard that @Guild has guns too, so I will invite him along if he has some long guns… also we would need a cook so I guess my wife can tag along too 🙂 (I doubt my skills of toast-making or 2-minute-noodles-making would be of much value)
I’m also in CT, so don’t pick me, walking to JHB would take too long and I’m broke.

I’d use my guinea pig training skills (which involves obscene amounts of vegetables and fruit) and partner up with my piggies and get them into zombie attack shape. Their teeth would rip zombie limbs apart as if they were butter lettuce. Their claws would scratch zombie eyes out as if they were grapes. Their extreme popcorning skills would distract the mindless masses of the dead while survivors flee to safety. Yes, my guinea pigs kick ass.

I have some pretty useful crafting skills. I can become a second-hand MacGyver when I need to be. I have a pretty good scavenging skill as well. I’d team up with Milla Jovovich if there was a zombie apocalypse, because she would just naturally drift into the Alice character…so, come on. How could you not want to be in a zombie apocalypse with Alice?

I’ll use my insane gardening skills to raise a plant army that will not only defend me from the zombies, but be delicious as stir-fry.

My extensive knowledge in IT would save me as I could make traps out of network cabling, and use old PC’s as weapons and to drop them onto unsuspecting zombies. I have also played enough zombie games to know how to survive and what not to do. I’d probably team up with my wife as she’s able to make just about anything taste good.

Also only entering for copy of the game (if allowed)

First 5 tips from Zombieland and how my daily life already prepared me for Survival:
1. Cardio – Long distance runs everyday from parking to my desk before my boss checks up on me, so no probs avoiding ankle taps from a Zombie
2. Double Tap – That’s what she said!
3. Beware of Bathrooms – coz George Micheal taught us to be…
4. Buckle Up – I stay in Gauteng so I Buckle up, lock all doors, shatterproof and tinted windows, and bull-bars all checked!
5. Travel Light – R50 note in my sock in case of the complimentary mugging living in Gangsters Paradise

I’d think up some ingenious way to cure the world of Zombieitis, then i’d come to my senses and use my leet skills to get a copy of “flying a plane – for dummies”, a small arsenal and rations to carry me and my brother-in-arms through the following days it takes to learn to fly and find and aircraft. When we’re completely unsuccessful in both, we’ll prepare to teach Zombies the benefits of Omega 3 and other Zombie flesh and convince them that they should eat each other. Then it’s off to the nearest bank to laugh at the Cashier Zombies behind their plexi-glass prisons about how we don’t have to stand in queues (I’m assuming insanity would hit by then)

I think my daily skill of marking assignments and books with a red pen will come in handy. I can stab Zombies with a red pen, making the bloodiness even more gruesome. Furthermore, I’d gladly take my husband as a partner. I need the support and I believe he’d make a mean keyboard-slinging machine. He can even chuck a laptop at a zombie’s head. Or use cords to strangle them. Plus, he is a fast runner. Scrawny, handsome bugger he is.
