Hello there, Local friendly media guy here and I'm here to tell you lot about our DayZ Twitter feed. Of course 5,732 of you will already know about this but those of you who don't... Well come and follow us too! You know you want to. Right? So why should you follow us on Twitter? Well that's simple, our DayZ Twitter feed is a up to date, real time feed on our development progress and things we find important from the community. On top of that if the forums go down or a major issue happens then that's the place to go and check! Updated regularly from a few of the DayZ Staff (Rocket Included) and we don't do annoying tweets ever few minutes that you want to unfollow us! Well that's all I have to say. See you there!

This is why I do not have images like this of me...Anywhere...Ever.

DayZ: 28 Years Later... sounds oddly familiar :P

And we've played over: 27 years, 4 months, 15 days. (10,000 days.)

ArmA III animations motion capture. See we might all be able to play as Dean Hall!

Here at the DayZ Dev Team we found this video really funny. Basically hit the nail on the head.

We do actually also have a official page: http://www.facebook.com/DayZMod Feel free to keep that one up though, it's good to see the community getting out there and promoting DayZ!

I think someone is happy is about something...Just a random guess though. :P Yeah but seriously lets go get the new update.

We have discovered the source of the dreaded loading bug - cleanup of dead units is not working. Therefore when we hit 144 groups the system stops. We are working on the solution now Yay!

We've all really just woken up within a hour or two so we're still trying to wake up!

1.4.12 on hold...
