Okie! Thanks

Is for me? :) I thought that was for when people posted stuff like "I'm going live!" etc.. Thought the gallery as a whole was for live-streams/youtube videos/screen shots?

Hey guys, some of you may know me from my DayZ videos, and others from these very forums where I often argue excessively. Well, now you can watch me on twitch! http://www.twitch.tv/etherimp A few facts - 1. I will be primarily playing hardcore 2. I will often (but not always) be playing with teammates 3. I will be attentive to my viewers 4. I will mostly be playing DayZ, but may fire up the stream occasionally to play other games such as X-COM Enemy Within, Star Control II, Spelunky, Insurgency, Faster than Light, DayZ Mod, League of Legends or whatever I am in the mood for. 5. I will generally be playing friendly, but always looking for action.. Schedule: Mon - Fri : ~6am - 10am GMT (Midnight MST) Sat - Sun : Variable hours, but probably starting earlier. Any and all support would be greatly appreciated, look forward to seeing you guys!

Agreed. All it takes is 1 headshot to end your character. But even then, when I first saw the guy run at me I didn't know he had a sported. Could have been an SKS for all I knew.

Sorry, but I disagree with you. A sporter is a threat, especially when all you have is a Blaze with about 8 ammo.. It's not like I was running around with an M4 or an AKM.. I was just as undergeared.. The guy on the hill had a Mosin with a LRS.. How was he "undergeared"? Maybe you should go watch my other videos before you judge what kind of player I am.. Better yet, maybe you should just enjoy the videos for what they are rather than trying to make morality judgments for the players when you have the advantage of hind-sight. Serious question, just out of curiousity, how many hours have you played this game, and how much experience did you have with the Mod?

Yeah for sure.. I didn't mean to insinuate that there was no other reliable way..

Maybe you didn't watch the video... Dude with a Clown mask is running at me with his gun out saying "STOP HIM STOP HIM STOP HIM", then proceeds to chase after me.. Furthermore, there was another guy with the same group of players who was sniping from on top of the mountain to the north of town. I don't see how you could not consider that "BANDIT" behavior.. Do you think he was trying to stop me to give me food? medical supplies? water? a gun? Think he just wanted to chat? Seemed to me a man with a gun chasing down a man who has his gun on his back, the man with the gun on his back better either run, or prepare for a fight.. I did both. Maybe I should just post videos of getting KOS'd while I stand there defenseless, then I'll satisfy people like you. I came out of the building in the beginning prepared to talk.. I had my gun on my back. I was standing there in the middle of the road ready for a friendly encounter after hearing "hello hello hello"... Friendly players don't charge at you saying "STOP HIM" with their guns drawn. Only reason he didn't fire is because he had a Sporter and he was outside of 50 meters. I tried to talk to his friend, I fired once, reconsidered because he was unarmed, then tried talking to him ... he continued to run away, loot the sporter off his friend, and open fire. Really, I am completely within my rights to call those people "BANDITS". If you want to give people the benefit of the doubt, have fun respawning then crying on the forums about "Bandits".

As long as the list contains an M14 with an assortment of attachments, I'm happy..

Exactly.. That's how you build trust - Have someones life in your hands and don't take it. Being a fresh spawn and saying "friendly" to a geared guy means nothing. Being a geared guy and saying "I'm friendly" to a fresh spawn, and NOT shooting them, actually means something.

You can trust some people.. But that trust is earned and you have to know how to earn it and when people are earning it from you.

Would you rather be irate, or dead? 'cause, Irate you have control over.. Dead, I have control over.

Don't walk up to random strangers asking them if they are friendly. People are much more friendly when you have a fully automatic assault rifle aimed at the back of their head, and they have no-where to run or hide. Edit: Or when you shoot them in the thigh with a mosin, bandage them, handcuff them, and have a friendly chat while they're restrained.. Suddenly they're very happy to communicate.

Sounds boring to me.

I'm pretty sure HL2 and CS:S had the same ragdoll.. It was on the same engine; though I suppose HL2's may have had more "features" included.

Yeah.. I don't think I said anything to the contrary of that. I've been tested anywhere between 120-153. Was tested in the "top 1 percentile" when I was in kindergarten.I don't see anything in what you said that contradicts anything I said.

I'd be a fan of it if they could implement it as well as it was implemented in Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike Source... You know, those games that were released 10 years ago.

It's definitely client side.

The game isn't done yet. I'd like to see those things fixed also.. But the game has been getting steadily better over the last 8-9 months. It will continue to do so until it's done. Nobody made you pay 30 dollars for it and you were warned it was in Alpha.

Good post, but the description you give of the current hack scene is not really accurate based on what I have seen - A LOT of people have hacks. They're running around en'masse with entire squads of guys using hacks. If it was only 5% of the community you would not see several hackers on every single 40 pop server.

There's also a man who's said to have been abducted by aliens.. ..and another who met bigfoot.

Think of it like a Kickstarter. Most of the DayZ community was bitching about wanting Standalone to be released.. They kept chiding Rocket about it. So, Rocket released it in Alpha form, sold it for 30 bucks a pop, and is using the money to fund the development of the game. There's nothing "wrong" with doing it that way. We get to play the game we wanted to play, and Rocket and his dev team get paychecks for working on it instead of doing it for free. Imagine how slow development would be if it was being done by a bunch of volunteer or poorly paid programmers.

I've been playing the game since release day. In STABLE the SKS has never been able to mount an LRS, but I believe it about experimental... BUT, experimental gets wiped often, so there are no more SKS's with LRS's in existence.. And even if there were, they'd be mostly useless.

No.. Nobody has an IQ of 300. http://mostextreme.org/highest_iq.php First of all, in order to test an IQ of "300", you would have to have an IQ of 300 or higher to write the test. Secondly, most of the people who have ever been tested "above 200", are estimates (not hard numbers) and/or they were taking a test designed for children. The highest "feasible" Adult IQ is about 200, and the highest that most modern, non-professionally designed tests go is somewhere around 160-180, and most of the test you can do online are highly unreliable and not to be taken seriously. If you want to get a good idea of what your IQ actually is, attempt to join MENSA or join the Military, as they will usually test your IQ and give you a personality profile among other things in order to understand where you would be best utilized.

Well, even if he's a genius (which is possible but unlikely), Einstein was around 180... Most idiots don't realize that 200 is almost unheard of and most test can't even measure above 160-180 or so.
