mile

he always reminds me of alan partridge for some reason. :) good vids though

brill, looking forward to that. :)

so it would be more like the inventory system in resident evil 4?

it would be the only time i could ask my mum for advice for the game. :) great idea dude. :)

fraps does slow my frame rate down a bit, not so much as i cant play the game, but there is a noticable lag when i switch it on. the other problem that it creates, is the raw footage takes a lot of room on your hard drive. other than that, go for it, there is a free version you can try out before you spend the cash. :)

yeah, you can sort of see a mountain off in the distance and want to explore it, but come across so many things in-between, that you forget about what you originally wanted to do. fingers crossed for the fallout mmo. :)

what a cool idea. :) reminds me of the fallout new vegas dlc, the one where you are with the indian tribes in zion. You keep finding parts of a diary from a fella who had survived the war, every time he got to his birthday he'd promise himself that he'd shot himself. He never did, iirc he let him self die of exposure (or maybe he was sick) watching a sunset from the top of some rocks. the only game i can think of where you could purposfully commit hari kari was syndicate (the original one) where you could press a button to self destruct. although if you were high health you'd sometimes survive. :P while i agree its not important for the game, it would be a cool feature and could create a situation like in the film 'the road'

ha ha yeah will do, he's still pulling his hair out and getting stressed at the playerbase. :P S!

cheers, i guess im not really complaing about anything to generate any hate. :P in fact the only thing that irks me is that the 'beans' logo uses the american spelling, rather than the one the UK adopted 4 years ago. but i guess that might have already been discussed. :D

cheers guys, thanks for the great replies. i did try to fill the water bottle at the edge, but it wasn't letting me for some reason. i have been reading the tips, and saw that i can fill a water bottle at the pumps, so that was very handy. :) thanks for the link for the map. i love exploring, big fan of the fallout games and elder scrolls. feels just like im in the capital wasteland. its an amazing game, starting out with no map make you feel so lost, and when i found one, i felt paranoid that i'd lose it. lol i do have a few questions About the microphone, do i need to change any settings for it? i have one that i use for TS3 on another game, so is it good to go in the game by just pressing the caps lock? also do the vehicals have a damage model? i mean if i want to kill a car, do i aim for the pertrol tank? or will a certain ammount of shots on it blow it up? (ive seen the tyres get shot out) thanks again guys :)

hey guys heard about this game from anther game i play (world war 2 online) which up until at the point day z loaded i thought was hard. :P downloaded all the stuff from steam so had plenty of opportunity to read up about the game before i got going. so on my first day i ran north, managed to find a few bits and bobs to keep me going. i found a pond and tried to refil my water bottle but for some reason the animation dipped my head under water. it didn't seem to do me any good and everything went white and i started passing out quite frequently, i ran around looking for medical supplies, and somehow managed to fall out of a deer stand breaking my leg. i looked around for some land marks and reset my character as i had nothing to heal myself. 2nd attempt i tried finding my body, but could see where i had been. i thought i was heading north, but seems i had been running around in circles. found another weapon and thought id check out a city, must have got about 50 yard away when i was sniped from somewhere. i think it might have been elktro, i was in the open. It was a daft move, and i paid the price for that. 3rd attempt i started looking at an offline map to see where i was going, not in the spirit of the game i know. i managed to navigate myself to a very tall tower, which after a quick look on the forum told me it was green mountain, and it was best avoided. being very carefull i made my way up there in any case. :) disapointed to find it had just been looted. i ran into my first close encounter with another survivor, i was in a church in a nothern town taking some painkiller, when a bloke just ran in with a pistol, he said something in russian i think, he unequippen his pistol and sat crossed legged in front of me. thing is though that he had a bandit mask on so i wasn't about to trust him. I just legged it of of there and never looked back. i guess i could have killed him, but he could have easily killed me, so i would have felt bad if i had done. getting a bit easier as im recognising the buildings like supermarkets and fire stations. anyway its a great game, looking forward to the standalone too. :D
