An American Survivor in Chernarus

[Reverant 1]

I fear I have become somewhat addicted to DayZ. With no school work in May and my wife out of town, I've logged in about 52 hours since last Monday. Just for fun, I started recording some of my sessions and messing around with some video editing software.

My biggest project: An American Survivor in Chernarus. Half Let's Play, half machinima, and all stupid, this is a narrated gameplay video with a clumsy fiction and a lot of bad puns. It's entirely silly, and I think I had way more fun making it than most people will have actually watching it. The first several clips are here:

(I make a passing comment about being a veteran in one of the episodes: this is actually true and not part of the story.)

I also have a non-narrated, pure survivalist gameplay 3-part series here:

I made that to demonstrate to people exactly what a day in the life of a DayZ survivor is like. Paranoia, extreme caution, and a reluctance to fire lest zombies and bandits converge on the player's location.

And this was my first attempt: A 2-part, pure Let's Play with my usual silly commentary.
