I'd probably add a few variables depending on the status of my player. If I had zero loot let's say but equipped with a gun, I might be a little braver. If I had a lot of loot and nowhere to stash it I'd be more the other way. Also depends on my mood, if I'm feeling reckless, or paranoid etc etc Or how much time I know I'm going to be playing. And how many other people are playing. But yeah, nice one, I think it's quite a good way of playing :D Mr Magoo maybe? For some reason I take it to mean 'shit your pants time'.

DayZ Developer Blog 3rd August 2013
philbottle replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
Something nice to wake up to on a Saturday morning which can't seem to decide if it's going to be sunny or unsettled. Playing in first person is going to be awesome, I can feel it in my pants :D -
It's for whoever the cap fits. I don't really care how it looks but thanks anyway.

Some of these self-entitled, abusive posts are getting quite sickening to read... but for the main they seem to be the work of new posters/trolls. I should say "laughable" rather than "sickening" but some of the recent posts are on the cusp of nasty. I'm still making friends with F5 today however :lol:

DayZ Overwatch S1 Ep1 - The Hills Have Eyes
philbottle replied to jbec-john's topic in DayZ Mod Gallery
Nice one, my new PC arrives next week (I hope), how are you finding Overwatch? I haven't downloaded it yet. -
I'm working from home tomorrow which means my good self and F5 will be getting better acquainted, once again. I'm not fussed about rushing out the SA but I do like the excitement, the anticipation of news. You should see me checking 'NewsNow' for Spurs news every June, July and August for football transfers.... ...yep, I do worry about myself sometimes :lol:

And who made you the authority on humanity? What is a government if not human beings? It's not an artificial intelligence. I could say: Come the apocalypse the "I'm alright, fuck you" mentality would go out the window, along with the people who think like that, so good luck. But why bother, it's only make believe, and our lovely 'governments' will do us in first, long before anything as fanciful as a zombie apocalypse :rolleyes:

I popped into this server this evening, dead bodies and flies, nothing but dead bodies and flies, and gunshots...

Why do I get the image of a bunch of guys shouting 'charge' but running in the opposite direction of the action? :rolleyes:

Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me. There, you made me say it. I don't feel proud about it either. :rolleyes:

Stormtroopers of chenarus
philbottle replied to Wolfensteinsaurus's topic in Clan / Group Recruitment
Some people do seem to have a strange fascination with nazism, I hope you're only 10 years old mate, that way there's still time for you to grow up. -
Do you remember the first time you played Dayz?
philbottle replied to Agent36's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I spawned in that short time between day and night, didn't know if it was early morning or late evening. I played entirely in first person. The sound of the sea behind me, the moan of the first infected to spot me, the snap of my leg as I fell off my first ladder. Will never forget it. -
Dipped my toes into the unholy waters of reddit, so maybe not a bad thing all in all, sort of :lol:
-
:D Nice one fraggle, cheers for that! Now, cue shitstorm 20 page thread of angst... :rolleyes:
-
Cheers, didn't know you were on Twitch, nice one!

A Noobie's Impression and comments
philbottle replied to dicemanrick's topic in New Player Discussion
All that effort to give up so quickly. I suggest the standalone won't be your cup of tea either. Try Minecraft! -
I think you were being a bit tongue-in-cheek with this, I actually laughed. The absolutism of the statement "Nothing will work"... bravo :lol:

What guns would you like to see in SA?
philbottle replied to WBK's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I'd like a spud gun, just so I can practice my shooting without wasting ammo or making too much noise. But I'd need an alternative source of ammo that doesn't waste food. -
Requesting information about the status of the mod.
philbottle replied to aluethial's topic in New Player Discussion
No-one really knows when it will be released. I'd invest a little time on the forum and read relevant threads for all the conjecture and naval gazing. Me personally, I'd say in the next few months but wouldn't bet anything valuable on it. -
Can we try spawning in the north?
philbottle replied to jubeidok's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
In other versions of the mod, say origins, you can choose where you spawn. There's something special though about spawning in Chernarus with the sea at your back. -
Requesting information about the status of the mod.
philbottle replied to aluethial's topic in New Player Discussion
Mind you I've not been on much lately longer than an hour at a time so it's worth reading a few threads on the forums and gauging people's opinions to help make your mind up :thumbsup: -
Requesting information about the status of the mod.
philbottle replied to aluethial's topic in New Player Discussion
I'd still recommend getting the mod. It's still being supported, it's as popular as ever and it gives you an experience you won't find in the standalone. Plus there are multiple maps available and different versions of the mod (e.g. origins, epoch etc) which again all have their unique flavour. I'm excited for the standalone but I think I'll still play be playing the mod for a while yet too. -
E3 Expo - June 2013 - Interviews and Gameplay
philbottle replied to SmashT's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
Movement looks so much better when he went prone. It's the little details to the environment they've added that I like most so far...it (would like to say 'feels') looks fantastic. -
What you guys think about the new update?
philbottle replied to grimsonfart's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I logged in with an SVD camo and and M14aim. The first infected to come near me broke my leg. 20 dead infected later I was also sadly dead. Respawned near Elektro, was knocked over maybe 5 times in 5 minutes, met another player, who was armed but too preoccupied with infected to bother about me. Didn't have time to run north to find my body so wrote cryptic instructions to find the loot in side chat. So far I like it, seems like there's been a subtle shift in the atmosphere/experience... which I appreciate.
