Video : H1Z1 s01e03 - Chipmunks Of Doom!

I've been playing H1Z1 and streaming on Twitch ( < click to follow me there for upcoming livestream of gaming!) This is the gameplay video from those sessions edited down with some added flair, hehe.

Here is episode Three!, "Chipmunks Of Doom!"  This game play was a bit long, so I sped up the footage, which turned into hilarious hi-pitched voices.

I started out at a spawn point after dying from a previous session, to which some idiot savant spawned next to me and of course tried to do a beat down.  After loosing "Mr. Special",  I was hold up waiting to meet up with a friend at an industrial complex.  A bit of confusion ensues on my part as what I assume is my friend running up on me ends up being another player, luckily he's a terrible shot and doesn't kill me at point blank range! (not even sure if he hits me).  Well after a bit of trying to actually save and work with other players my friend shows up and we're forced to kill the other players.  For once we go out on top!

I've been playing H1Z1 and streaming on Twitch ( < click to follow me there for upcoming livestream of gaming!) This is the gameplay video from those sessions edited down with some added flair, hehe.

Here is episode Two!, "Dance of Death!"  A friend and I are looting some apartments in a complex and we run into a reallygooddancer and his friend, ultimately another player serves up our "just deserts" as even the moves we gleaned from a reallygooddancer isnt enought to evade arrow fire from the player with the high ground. Two headshots later and the session was over.

Video : MisAdventures In DayZ - Hanger18

So here we are at a defensible position inside a air plane hanger. We all have decent weapons, which shows that you CAN succeed in DayZ, WITHOUT cheating or hacking!  It was a pretty fun session, we had four people in the game and in the same location, and we actually worked kind of like a team.  Check out the video below, many kills were made and we were finally on the winning end! YAY!

Video : MisAdventures In DayZ - Firefight Of The Stooges!

This is a short set of clips from a couple of gaming sessions with my buddies where we're getting our asses handed to us, mostly, mostly...  The third snippet of video is interesting in that we were hold up in a general store, its night out, so everything is pitch black where you almost can't see anything.

About 20 min earlier, and which I didn't get on video, I was at the back of the store and found a revolver, which I already had.  So I called out to my one friend to come and pick it up.  He thought I was out side of the store and ran out of the front door and into two dudes with long rifles that were heading into the store.  Needless to say a "pop, pop" later and he was dead.  My other friend and I logged out ASAP.  

30 min later we decided to log back in, we didn't go to another server to move around and then log back into the original server or anything like that, we were just going to log back in on the same server and figured the two dudes were gone by now.  Granted, we're always at the shopping center for about an hour ourselves, but hey, it was night out maybe we can get the drop on the guys if they are still there...
(NSFW : Language)


This is where the 3rd snippet starts.  So I made it in, no one around. Cool.  I then move to behind the counter and glanced in the back room, empty. Sweet!  My one friend decided that he'll come back on too, and at this moment I see some crawler zombie make its way in, I start to switch to my axe, unfortunately it wasn't a crawler zombie and was indeed one of the guys from the previous encounter! He then peeks around the shelves and starts flinging bullets at me, all the while my friend is trying to login, who's in front of me, and is subject to latency gawds to see if he's going to make it in or not.   Seconds later we're both dead and he never made it past the loading screen!

So the take away here is that when logging out as soon as you hit abort you're out of the game, when logging in you're vunerable for 5-10 seconds before you're in the game, so beware! ;)

Video : DayZ Double Whammy!

So recently I got together with a bunch of friends on a few DayZ servers and we had a devilishly good time playing the game again.  We're trying to get a group of at least 6 people on all at the same time and then meet up all in once spot in DayZ.  Those that play the game know that might be a task unobtainable as people get sidetracked where they spawn and then there are those pesky zombies and other players that get in your way.

In the first video we establish ourselves in the city Electro, after a few failed attempts to meet up in game.  Once we found the hospital, general store and a nice little apt with no running water, we then proceeded to take pot shots at passer by's who investigate one of the bodies in the street.  The bodies that just so happen to be one of our players who can't seem to stay on the top of the building without falling off and killing himself.

The second video is the attempt to meet up with a new player Wizzle, and then much server madness as people logout as soon as they are shot, flashes of other people maybe trying to login, and zombie pushing players through walls who then fall to their deaths, (well sort of).

So take a look at the the next two episodes in the series, "What Did You Do Ray!" and "Where's Wizzle?" below! (NSFW : Language)

Video : DayZ - The world on Fire! Fun with Chemlights and Flares!

Here is a screen cap of a shot of myself and friends all running around with blue chemlights and flashlights, because we ran out of flares.  

The idea worked pretty well, so far in that we were on a low pop server. If we were to try this on a high pop server then i'm sure we'd be sitting ducks for any bandit or newb with a rifle, as you can see the glow from pretty far off.  We had two people with flashlights shining around looking for zombies if we were in an area that would have them and one guy who was the executioner.  Occasionally two of use would have to use axes but we got pretty good at the system we came up with.   Same idea goes for use of the flares except that the flare will illuminate a very large area so flashlights aren't really needed. 

You can video below our fun with flares, chemlights, and looting various buildings in town.  Speaking of town, I don't know why but the town I started up in last night was on fire, as well as the surrounding area!  Certainly made for easy navigation in an otherwise pitch black night!

Video : DayZ Water, Water Everywhere... S01E05

So a buddy and I the other day were playing DayZ.  We finally were able to "acquire" some gear via some quickly raided military tents, so while armed to the teeth we still needed basic items, food, and water.  This little video shows our escapades on how to try and get some water from a well as well as the discovery of a function and fully operational battle stati... err motorcycle.  Sadly it was late and my keyboard wasn't configured so we had to abandoned the idea of the two of us joy riding around in game.  Check out the video below!

Video : DayZ - You Don't Bring A Hatchet To A Gun Fight!

So last night a buddy and I, still high on adrenaline from the success of a kill previously in the night, wandered across another player while traveling to a big city.  As you can see in the video, you don't bring an hatchet to a gun fight!  While we put up a decent effort, ultimately were greeted by ,Mr. Death.  Note: the voice you hear is my buddies, as i forgot to enable the mic in fraps, you can kinda hear me in his headphones. Hehe.

Video : Just Another One Of Those DayZ !!! Playing DayZ Mod!

So I picked up a game called ArmaII the other day and its expansion Operation Arrowhead for $30 bucks on Steam. Not because I wanted to play ArmaII, but because I wanted to play the new mod for it called DayZ!  


The game which you can find HERE is a post apocalyptic game where you've just washed ashore on the beach of some Russian island called Chernarus.  The only problem is that the place is crawling with Zombies, what's worse your fellow humans are out for blood and will kill you as well!  


The game is persistent.  Any gear you find along the way you keep with you when you log out.  When you log out you'll log back in at that same spot, regardless of which server you log into.  If you die you're back on the beach with NOTHING but your starter gear.  How do you die? Let me count the ways...

1. Zombie attack.
2. Getting sick from lack of warmth and falling unconscious (hypothermia).
3. Bleeding to death from a "minor wound" from an attack, you fall unconscious.
4. Breaking your legs or other bones, falling unconscious.
5. Starvation.
6. Dehydration.
7. Other Human Players trying to survive!

The average life span of a player is currently at 49 min.  Think you can last longer?  Then be sure to download the game and hop onto a server, just remember the three rules.

1. Scavenge!
2. Slay!
3. Survive!

Here is a video of my 2nd night/play session.  I think without the edits I only lasted 15 min.  At least I didn't have to pull a Bear Grylls and drink my own pee!
