Sounds pretty cool actually. Worth the 20 odd quid and monster download? Do you have to chat to people to get the most out of it?

See, it's not so much a videogame in the transitional sense as it is a survival experience. If you want to just run around on your own, shooting everyone you see then you can - in fact having players like this is a big part of the game as it creates a great sense of unease.

However, I've found the most enjoyable experience comes from trying your best to get a group of survivors together working as a team.

You can't carry very much, so as night one guy could have the torch in his pack, maybe you have the map etc.

Do keep in mind that you could spend about 20 minutes just running along a coastline trying to figure out where you should go. It is a timesink. I could see it being up there with playing WOW or something if you managed to keep your character alive for a very long time.

It's utterly stupid how long it's taken for a game like this to happen.

It's sort of what I wanted from Resident Evil Outbreak all those years ago.

Apparently the guy who made it pitched the idea many times but always got laughed out of board rooms (at least I think I read that somewhere!) - so he decided to make it as a free mod instead.

Anyone else having big problems connecting to dayz servers today? Also this latest update seems a bit buggy to me.

Damn! I really want to pay that now! Think my laptop can handle it? It's got an i3 and 4gb of ram.

Also, anyone want to play animal crossing on the ds with me? Been playing it a lot today.

Decided to troll a Legend of Dragoon video on youtube. Said the final song in the game was a **** song for a **** game. Got my first colourful reply:

'you are **** and the parents that didn't choke you the day you were born.'

Wonderfully articulate

I'm nearly at 6000 Ninty points on the Club Ninty website.
So, what should I spend them on?
The little plush ? cube with authentic sounds when it's smacked with an Italian plumbers head?
The Laptop bag?
The little Animal Crossing bag?
I am leaning towards the Wii Snes controller or the Game&Watch Ball, but I will need another 1600 points for some of those

Fun fact - I am the exact same age as the Dart, down to the day.

Another interesting fact -

Remember that ****e film, The Number 23?

The plot involves an obsession with the 23 enigma, an esoteric belief that all incidents and events are directly connected to the number 23, some permutation of the number 23, or a number related to 23

That was released on the 23rd of July 2007 (my 23rd Birthday)

Ah, see dates of birth arent listed on credit cards. You'll see when you eventually get one.

Just dropping hints for my birthday is all. It's approaching fast. Thought ciderdude might like to get me something with his stars :pac:

Aye. So with this mod you have to eat and drink etc to keep your health up? That mean you have to look after calls of nature too? Can't imagine anything more scary than having to pitch a loaf in game when a Zombie creeps up on ya. :pac:

That won't be a feature in a game until a Duke Nukem Zombie Survival mod is made!

Never actually saw any LoD gameplay. Sounds like it has a passionate fanbase, could you give me directions to their whereabouts so I too can engage in a rigorous exchange of non-partisan views on this title?

I just realised something, the Mayan calendar didn't fortell the end of the world in 2012, it was something much worse:

On hungover perusings of the internet I recently found out that my copy of the PS1 classic and one of my all time favourite multiplayer games Team Buddies is actually quite rare and might be worth around it's original price again if not a bit more. I have never owned anything that has increased in value before.

Warm and fuzzy feeling. Don't dare crush it!

My first proper night of playing the game and once you can get on a bloody server and it doesn't crash its great.

I logged into a US server so I could play in daylight. Managed to get to Pavlovo(or something like that) using my sneaky powers(and killing nothing) but that village was overrun with zeds so I snuck as best I could but had to kill 32 of them in a short space of time, wasn't easy with my peashooter of a gun.


You can see in the below pics I was sneaking around fine until the dude found me in pic 3. Then the shiz hit the fan and you can see my stats in pic 4

US6 was the only server I was having much luck with. A lot of the US servers seem to be running an update above 1.60 that I can't seem to find anywhere.

Oh... and the trailer is awesome:

Yeah US6 is what I was playing on as well. Although they restarted the server twice which was a pain.

Zombies killed

Pic 1: Killcount 0
Pic 2: 0
Pic 3: Still 0 :pac:

Pic 4: 2 dead zombie GAA teams. And a their zombie bus driver. All with headshots. :eek:

And a zombie tried wanted to parley as well, though that wasn't a headshot. I'm not risking joking about that because Steve possibly flung a the bus at it.

More legend of dragoon fun. I told the previous guy he was a bit over the top and not very nice to which he replied 'No, not really. You come in and say **** about everyone. the part about choking is just for lols, could have said took a dump on your head or something.
But you indeed are ****'

Another person decided to get in on the conversation:

'probly cause you suck at it'

The lack of punctuation makes me weep.

Whoa whoa, there's no need to be dragging the Mega CD into this. It gave us such titles as:




Ok not much else but still.
