  Viruses

  When it comes to apocalyptic scenarios, nothing beats a good virus. Here are some of the most deadlyest Viruses out there.

  FORCED EVOLUTIONARY VIRUS

  Fallout 3

  Prognosis: Various mutations.

  Way back before the apocalypse that turned America into a toasty glowing dust bowl, the United States funded research into boosting the human immune system. The result was the Pan-immunity Vinon Project. A complete success...apart from the mutations increased muscle mass, decreased intelligence, and green skin. The military loved it though, and tried to use it to create super soldiers but ultimately made the Super Mutants.

  FOXDIE

  Metal Gear Solid

  Prognosis: Death.

  Originally a man-made virus created by the Pentgon to kill designated targets by recognizing their DNA Solid Snake got a dose in MGS to take out Arms Tech president Kenneth Baker and the rogue FOXHOUND team. But as the cloned soldier aged, the virus degraded, threatening to kill anyone, not just Snake. Fortunately, Drebin 893 injected him with a newer strain in Metal Gear Solid 4, halting the degradation and saving us all.

  THE GENOPHAGE

  Mass Effect 2

  Prognosis: Infertility.

  Impress everyone by telling them "geno" refers to specific genetic makeup and "phage" is a fancy word for virus. So like FOXDIE, this is a disease that targets specific DNA--in this case, the entire race of war-hungry Krogans. However, rather than kill them, it makes viable pregnancies almost impossible, sending the species toward a slow extinction. Far more distressing, however, is the resulting black market dealing in Krogan testicles, which are believed (falsely) to cure the virus.

  T-VIRUS

  Resident Evil

  Prognosis: Zombification, mutation.

  This is the Gucci of deadly mutating viruses and the one every other knockoff, wannabe disease looks up to. Zombies, lizard creatures, peeled dogs, lumbering mutant abominations--it does it all, with style. Word of warning: For those planning to try it out, don't set up a lab anywhere near, say, a massive populated city. That sort of thing goes down pretty poorly with the World Health Organization.

  What a wonderful world us gamers live in.

  WELCOME........

  Are you the type of person with an irrepressible lust for life, someone who grabs life by the balls and doesn't let go? Rugged and confident, yet no nonsense. You are nobody's fool. You are know clown. You're called a maverick because you are not afraid to shock people. They've referred to you as the special one, a man of the world. You're the one by the pool with the classic drink and a calm demeanor. But you're also the guy with the killer instinct, the discerning wit, and the attention to detail. If this is you then you're exactly what this world needs
