phil bottle

Spawned in Balota which in hindsight is in incredibly good spawn. After looting a few houses I spotted a Hanger in the distance so I made my way towards that. After approaching carefully, I made my way through each and every bunker room finding, not one, not two, not three but FOUR M4A1's!
 
But no Ammo.
 
Fuck.
 
I made my way across the airfield to inspect the buildings opposite and I found a nice bit of Ammo for my M4 and some green gear so now I blend in a bit better. 
 
Moving further forward I was feeling thirsty so I crouched down to check my inventory jsut outside of a town. During this period I got slapped by a zombie causing me to bleed, a lot.
 
I logged out near death and under a staircase.
 

 

 
 

You have to make the male character as default, took me a few goes to work out lol

Thanks for the info guys! I've picked up the Arma 2 collection with the DayZ mod and will leave the £20 alpha until a much later date.  Even the producers are recommending people NOT to buy the standalone at present despite selling about 200k copies lol!

The Mod is its best right now, Razor and the other mods have put a lot of effort into making it playable.... and I haven't come across a scripter/hacker for at least 6 months

I haven't played the Standalone myself, but I browse the forums a fair bit and based on that my recommendation would be to get Combined Operations and play the mod for a bit whilst the SA evolves a bit more. As Dylan says, buildings are currently very restricted, there are no vehicles, you can fall randomly unconscious, etc etc. It's just not anywhere near a polished product at the moment. 
 
I spend an hour or so playing the mod recently, after a hiatus of about 6 months and it's progressed in leaps and bounds. Last time I played it it was a bit of a mess but excusable. Now it's almost feeling like a well rounded and developed game. Of course it's not perfect, but it's probably much more enjoyable than the SA at the moment. 
 
Given that Combined Operations is only 8.49 on Steam, I'd go for that.

I barley know what my laptop is . Never mind under it xD. Its a HP Pavilion g7 that's as much as I know. Hahaha

Well, I want to right now haha

Hi, my name is Dylan im up for that me and diddums played the mod together sometimes got to say its much better with a friend 

Moved to DayZ

Done

I still play the mod at least once or twice a week, it's one of the reasons I switched from console gaming, and upgraded my laptop to a decent desktop

Hey guys, can this be set up? So we can talk things DayZ related?
 
I played the mod a lot as a lone wolf (well mostly anyway) and I'm up for teaming-up in the standalone.
 
I think Diddums is up for it too

I was so pissed I got off a stop early and then sick-walked all the way home
 
Great night, great host, great company

Dave your hosting skills are insane mate! Thanks for havin me over again dude, I can't wait till I live in my own place then I can return the favour.
I feel like shite this morning! Having to listen to my misses practice her songs :/ this keyboard is killing my head. Still, it was a wicked night and was wicked to meet some new peeps can't believe Phil lives about one bus stop away from me, such a small world.
Have a laxed day people

I think I'm dying.
Getting too old for this shit.

That's the only photo i can be arsed to upload at the moment. I need some more sleep now!!

If anyone is familiar with DayZ; here's footage of the pre-alpha build in action http://mp1st.com/2013/11/15/nearly-10-minutes-raw-unedited-pre-alpha-dayz-standalone-footage/?utm_source=slider
 
This mod has become so popular, it's getting a full release and is likely to appear on the next gen of consoles at some stage. 
 
Still lots of work to be done but great to see it is coming along quite nicely

Reckless, thoughtful, and in the zone are perfect man.  I know exactly what you mean.  Reckless is when I'm not paying attention to spawns/details.  Thoughtful can go both ways.  Sometimes I over think and I die to indecisiveness or my planning works out and I have a decent game.  Being in the zone is when I don't need to think about spawns, I just feel them changing and automatically start moving that direction picking and popping everything in my way.  The maps/spawns are still too new to me to really get in the zone at this point.  I have moments, but not really in the zone.  

Yep, makes perfect sense.
 
I find I have three modes though, reckless, thoughtful, and "in the zone". The latter seems to be when I'm just in full form, everything going perfectly. It's also usually when I'm playing solo, and anyone who's ever played with this lot will know why.

I got bored with BLOPS2 because it was pretty much too easy... (me and my Chicom FTW).....but I'm liking Ghosts so far because I don't know the maps yet and from I what I've seen (only played a few hours so far) I do like the new maps, they're an improvement on recent games.
 
I have 2 state of minds usually, reckless and thoughtful, how I play depends upon which one is in the ascendancy.
 
Usually if I'm vocally quiet it means I'm concentrating on that very conflict.
 
^does any of that make any sense? my brain has taken a beating today so I don't know what crap I'm writing.
 
Think I'll jog on at 4pm
