Could be wishful thinking, but...

But first, a side note:

"Dear Richie. You sing beautifully. You are truly King of Swing. But baby? 'If God Was A Woman' sucks rocks in the lyrics department as well as in concepting and I'd have to punch you in the gut for it if we were face to face.

Fuck you, but love you anyway,
Anne

ps--I'm taking the song off my MP3 player when I get home. And you make a lousy misogymist. Cut it out. It's bad for you.'

Anyhow, eye stuff under here )

I'm probably missing some important bit of physics here but...

In Pulse, the 'monsters' can be blocked from a room by covering all the cracks and entry points with red duct tape. There's some half-assed explanation that it's because red 'blocks part of the spectrum they need in order to transfer'.

Also, the monsters 'get' you by touching and/or getting right up in your face and essentially sucking your soul out.

So, here's my question.

Why wouldn't wrapping yourself in red duct tape and/or getting into red clothing and/or painting your skin work? More mobile, more practical, and it'll get you into the damned computer room long enough to deliver the virus that will shut down the system and at least keep them from traveling via all the computer stuff they're using as entry points.

And if you get jumped? Close your eyes, cover your ears, mouth and nose until you can run from them (because apparently if you keep your wits well enough to run the process doesn't complete and you can escape).

So...yeah. Um. What did I miss? Because this seems to be a really easy obstacle to overcome.
