Excellent. Most Excellent. At first glance on the first few photos I thought you photoshopped your faces over a DayZ screen shot. Had to look twice. Any special camera/filter combo used?

Oh yes. Looking forward to that bad boy, even though I can't fly to save my life.. 24hrs to go....

See ya...

Thanks to the Dayz team for some good times. Going to take a break from this excellent mod for some real PvP in BF3. Armored Kill is just around the corner. I'm jumping back into BF3 now to shake off the rust and get back up to par. It's been about 3 months of playing for me. Enjoyed every second. Can't wait for the Standalone. My only peeves were the screen glitching, but that's what testing is all about right. May pop in to check out the new updates. Especially if 1.7.3 comes out. I'll be back the minutes the Stand Alone is available in whatever format. Alpha, Beta, bugged all to shit, I don't care... See ya all later! Happy hunting. (a salute to all non-QQ'ers)

It was a UAZ.... Didn't see any red warnings.....

Don't think it was a trap. I drove for a good 5 mins north before ka-boom. I think maybe the engine was damaged and I hit a bump. I heard stuff like that can happen. I was a new spawn, so I didn't care that I died. I only play for the shenanigans now....

So I'm in Cherno, north end of town where the apartments and hospital are, and I hear a engine running. At first I think it's someone on a motorcycle then I see it! The abandoned car, engine running, surrounded by zombies. I'm thinking "What happened here?". Who cares, I run around to distract the Zs and quickly jump in. NICE! 3/4 tank of gas. Lets go! This was super sweet, my first car. Let head up north, go check out some northern towns. As I'm driving up the road going north from Cherno, I erupt into a huge explosion of flames!! I fly out of the car unconscious and die. Oh well. I figure I was shot from somewhere... But it was fun for those 5 mins. So that it, just a story of my first vehicle that ended in an epic fail.

Oh well... Back to those tents!!

So, I've upgraded to 1.7.2.6. Very nice... Anyhow, I was logging out for the night. I prone behind a tree, hit 'ECS' and just as I'm clicking 'abort' I get shot and went into shock. I was on US 2891 just north-west of Chreno in the forest, around 10:50pm EDT. Sorry to dude that took the shot, I was not combat logging, just checking out for the night. I would never pussy out like that. Hope my body stayed behind, had some nice stuff. So I immediately log back in on the same server only to find I re-started as fresh spawn. I didn't see the 'kill' splash screen. I'm not bitching or pissed, as I can get re-fitting in 20 mins. Found 3 tents loaded with stuff. Not hacked or duped stuff either. The moral of the story is (or tl;dr); technically I combat logged and logged back in as a fresh spawn. Does that mean they solved the ALT-F4 issue in 1.7.2.6?!?! That would be sweet, or was that bad luck for me?

You go to a "hiking/outdoor" store, look at the backpacks, and wonder how many cans of beans, pepsi cans, engine blocks and car tires you can fit in there?

Doom, Quake 1 and 2. Then dropped gaming until BC2, then onto BF3, then DayZ. Playing DayZ till Armored Kill comes out. Then back to the DayZ standalone.

Wait a second, back it up a little.... Raining buses! Admit it, that would be cool.

I enter as a fresh spawn and I'm running toward Elecktro from the est, followed by 30 or so Zed's, then all of a sudden they are gone. The whole lot of them. M'kay, never had that happen. As I'm approaching the town, close to sniper hill, there is a succession of loud explosions. Next thing I see is the north side of town on fire?!? As I'm crossing through town I find dead survivor after dead survivor, mostly on the north side. In the hospital, in fire station, in the streets. However, I cannot loot them. Some had guns, some did not. I did come across one guy in that particular area, he was suited up to the titties. He took a few shots at me, it was a silenced weapon, missed and disappeared. I'm assuming an ALT-F4. Work of a hacker? That was at 11:00pm edt.

This...

Well shit on toast. Ok. Didn't expect it to be full already. Will try again tonight. thanks for the answers gents (and ladies, if you're there)
