Something a little different...

[GpB311 236]

I've encountered people playing all sorts of stuff through voip or whatever you call the in-game general voice chat... from techno music as they hosted dance parties of people in their underwear, to Guile's music from Street Fighter II, and even a guy who seemed to be playing DJ to his own radio station in a hospital, but the other night I encountered someone doing something a bit different.

I was armed with only a crowbar and looking for food when I thought I heard a zombie nearby. I scanned the area, trying to decided if I should hide, flee, or fight, but I didn't see anything. I crept along the edge of a two story house, still looking around, but couldn't see a zombie anywhere nearby. A minute passes and I hear more zombie sounds, they sound a little off since I couldn't get a direction on them, but it sounds like there's a couple of them around.

I run into the house and as I open the door upstairs, there's a guy with an sks just pointing his gun at me. He doesn't shoot immediately, so I try to talk to him, you know...the usual "I'm friendly" business and I keep myself on the other side of the room from him. He doesn't speak a word, but he does wiggle a few times and then I hear the zombie sounds again. It turns out he had recorded or whatever the sounds different zombies make and was just playing them himself.

I tried to talk a little more, but got nothing, so since I was still alive I decided to not press my luck and left. He didn't follow and I have no clue who he was, but good job in giving me a bit of a scare.
