We started the night saying we watched #Alive, a zombie movie that should have been an easy conversation starter. Then we did what we always do: immediately derailed into a chaotic survival game and argued like our lives depended on it. Welcome to One To One Hundred, where one of us picks a secret survival item and the rest try to guess it, getting a 1 to 100 “closeness” score that makes perfect sense only to the person holding the answer.

What follows is a surprisingly revealing tour through real survival gear and emergency preparedness thinking. We bounce through the usual bug out bag staples like water filters, lighters, first aid supplies, and navigation tools, then stumble into why signaling matters when you actually need rescue. A signal mirror becomes the perfect example of lightweight, battery-free survival equipment that’s easy to forget until you need it most.

From there, the conversation turns into multi-use gear and survival priorities: why paracord is basically a cheat code for shelter building and improvisation, why “sleep system” choices spiral into a full sleeping pad argument, and how food planning turns into a final-round obsession that ends with a fishing pole. It’s messy, loud, and genuinely useful if you like survival scenarios, wilderness survival talk, and gear debates that don’t take themselves too seriously.

A Resident Evil movie that actually tries to look like the games sounds like a win on paper, but the real question is whether it feels like Resident Evil when the camera stops lingering on Easter eggs. We break down Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City with the same energy we bring to every survival horror watch: what works, what breaks immersion, and what choices would have landed harder if the story had room to breathe.

We get into the big fan debates that make or break a video game adaptation: Leon Kennedy as a “rookie” who can’t shoot, Jill Valentine’s personality feeling off, and whether Wesker comes across as the Wesker people remember. We also talk monsters and moments that nailed the vibe, including the licker design, the Lisa Trevor sequence, and the game-accurate shots that feel ripped straight from classic cutscenes. Along the way we dig into Resident Evil lore like the T virus vs G virus and how the franchise shifted from survival horror into action, then back again with newer entries.

Then we pivot to the part where “Will you survive?” stops being hypothetical. If the outbreak is in the water, what do you do first: filter, boil, or both? We talk emergency water purification, activated charcoal, LifeStraw-style filtration, bathtub and water heater sourcing, why pool water is a trap unless you distill it, and the boring supplies that become priceless when everything collapses.

If you’re into zombie movies, Umbrella Corporation conspiracies, Resident Evil game lore, and practical emergency preparedness, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves zombies, and leave a review with your hottest take: should Welcome To Raccoon City have been a mini-series?

You know that moment in a zombie movie where the infected person “turns” and the story stops caring about what it feels like inside their head? We go the opposite direction and design a parasite zombie where the scariest phase happens before the body looks undead. Our monster doesn’t just bite. It hunts for the adrenal glands, manipulates stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, and pushes the host into a fight-or-flight spiral that can turn violent while they’re still aware enough to remember it.

From there we get uncomfortably practical: how would transmission work if the goal is pure spread? We debate eggs in the mouth, contamination from scratches, and a truly gross barf vector that makes close contact a nightmare. We also nerd out on “realistic zombie blood” and what it would look like as oxygen drops and circulation fails, plus how the parasite could shift stages from fast rage to slow husk reanimation.

Then we pull the thread that collapses civilization: incubation period. If symptoms take days or weeks, quarantine becomes a fantasy, travel keeps happening, and infection outruns every rule you try to enforce. We even put a rough R0 on it, and we explore a darker biology angle where immune function falls apart through lymph nodes and bone marrow, meaning “anything” can finish you off once the parasite has control.

Finally, we look for weaknesses that make survival possible without breaking the rules, from heat and dehydration to the lore-friendly curveball of pumpkin seeds and cucurbitacin. If you like zombie science, parasite horror, and worldbuilding with consequences, hit play.
