pants!

I think it would come with it's own advantages. Using an Rift, you can freely look as you do with your own head movement / eyes. A glance over the shoulder is just that (once you get used to how the tracking feels). The steroscopic vision may also aid in picking out moving objects at distance or engaging in hand/hand more accurately. As you say, it's a post-dayz-optimization goal: Dean said: Q: Will DayZ be Oculus Rift or TrackIR supported?’ A: Well I met the Oculus Rift guys at Pax West and tried it out and it was freaking awesome. They were big fans of DayZ and ArmA so we want to do everything we can to ensure that happens. However, ArmA and DayZ suffer from a very complex entity so achieving a locked frame rate at 60 FPS is very difficult because you can’t guarantee what is going to happen and you need that constant 60 FPS to make the Oculus Rift work. So the challenge isn’t to technically support it (because we already do support TrackIR), the challenge is optimizing the game. You don’t want to optimize too early so we need to do all the innovation and then we do a lot of optimization so we will see how it goes, but we love it and having played with the Oculus Rift myself I can hands down say that it will make DayZ a thousand times better and that’s not an exaggeration. I don’t know how many people have tried the Oculus Rift but if you get the chance to then do it but like I say we are going to have to do a lot of optimization.

Couple it up to a Virtuix Omni and you can get fit / die from exhaustion in real life!

You must be using the Linux of ten years ago. I can pretty much plug anything I need into a Linux machine today and no searching around for drivers; it Just Works™. Conversely, I'm having all sorts of problems getting working drivers for some of my hardware with the latest versions of Windows. Just today, my arguably still excellent EMU10K1 sound card worked on Linux just by inserting it in the system. On Windows there is no longer an official driver and the third party stuff seems nearly unworkable. With all my Valve games and business apps now running natively on Linux, my last remaining reason to run Windows is DayZ. Valve have been offering assistance and incentives to port for the Steam Box platform so I have to wonder if this has been offered to Bohemia.

There are some pretty extensive road networks up to the North (near the main North railway station). I suspect they are intended to go round buildings which haven't been added yet.

When it begins raining in SA, certain items will give you protection against hypothermia effects etc.

What more could a man want for Christmas? Woman runs up to you.... Offers you many gifts.... Removes her clothes.... ....sounds like a guy. ...erm.

You could also go out to the coast and provide cover for the new spawns. Quite good fun rounding up bandits. :)

Don't give him the beans yet... Meet up in game and see if he just takes them off you at gun point ;)

I tried dual-wielding suppressors and I swear I caught somebody laughing at me.

You ate the pips?? You should never eat the pips!

It's a magazine not a magazin. :P

A Linux port would be rather useful so we can play on a SteamBox. Not much reason to run Windows after that.

I'm still trying. "I'll be out in a minute guys........."

I think we should find a nice big coniferous pine and stick you on the top of it :p

I sort of get where you're coming from but the Mosin-Nagant is very much a military rifle.

How about if I was straining on the can... Would you wait or 'aim to miss' first to see if that hurried my constipation along?

Your purchase of the Early Access Alpha will give you access to the full game.

I've been on the other end. Almost completely wasted but unable to finish myself off, hoping somebody would come by and do it for me. ;-)

The PU doesn't zoom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PU_scope Check your key bindings in the game options to find out what (if any) your optics keys are.

One Train in DayZ Standalone Sadly not enterable or operable (yet?) although you can get in some of the cars, I think I even found loot in one.

I feel thirsty.

How many steaks could you get from one? :p

"Lets go up this ladder".

A guy tried it but collapsed from exhaution / dehydration about 2km short of NWAF. His last words were "I feel thirsty...."
