DayZ hyperfixation

Ah, the digital realm of YouTube – a place I've explored with fervour! For those who are acquainted with me, it's no secret that I harbour a deep fondness for this platform. Flashback to the early-mid 2010s, and you'll find me immersed in the world of recording "let's plays" – a delightful stint that left me yearning for more. The allure of returning to this creative endeavor tugs at me, though crafting a new system for the purpose is a step I must take to continue. I'm thrilled to introduce you to a league of extraordinary YouTube content creators in the realm of DayZ – (If you have not heard of this one it is an open-world survival video game that has been around for the last decade, where players navigate a post-apocalyptic landscape, scavenging for resources, interacting with others, and battling both zombies and fellow survivors. Its immersive environment, realistic survival mechanics, and player-driven interactions create an intense and unpredictable gameplay experience.)

Now, if these names don't ring a bell, it's high time you give them a virtual visit. Trust me, your face is in for a smiley treat! 😄

• TheRunningManZ's Channel
• SourSweet's Channel
• LottieTwitch's Channel
• FRANKIEonPCin1080p's Channel (A classic, but the player is focusing on being a Lawyer nowadays)
• SadaPlays channel

These luminaries of DayZ have mastered the art of crafting content that's both captivating and grin-inducing. So, if you're seeking a quick escape to a world of virtual adventures, I implore you to venture forth into these digital realms.

As the saying goes, "The journey of a thousand videos begins with a single click." Okay, maybe I slightly adapted that, but you catch my drift! Without further ado, hit that play button and let the magic unfold.

Until next time! 🙋‍♂️

 

Unturned - Speed Review of the DayZ / Minecraft game.

I played Unturned for the first time last night, and I have to say, for a game that comprises of the most basic of graphics, it is an excellent and fun game. Taking elements of DayZ, where you start with nothing and have to scrounge everything to survive against the zombie hordes and remain 'unturned', and elements from Minecraft - the styling and crafting, it is a very interesting and rather intense game, at times. The impact and effectiveness of the game was immediate, and it was very simple to play, and better than it's appearance conveys.

Here is how my first few lives went:
My first life I walked into a town, and was promptly zombified in the back of a shop when it turned out that not only can these zombies run indoors, they are also a little faster than you and miss a LOT less than in DayZ... They also hit a LOT harder.

My second life lasted a little longer. I even got a rifle. I ended up being flanked by an un noticed zombie whilst hunting a deer, and was hit from behind for my last 10% health.

My third life seen me accrue a good inventory of weapons, start using the crafting system and the built in XP sytem to upgrade my attributes to better survive and combat the undead hordes. I then went ahead and assaulted the local military base, mowing down zombies left and right with a stolen car, gearing up, grabbing a Hum-Vee and spiriting away into the sunset.

FUN!
I have thus far only played single player. It is a tough little game, but is very thrilling... and gore filled! Let's just say a shotgunned zombie will paint the internal walls of a building liberally.

The game includes a few systems that work well, including crafting (Hang onto that last bullet because you will want to refill the clip using the crafting system!), and experience points. Feel like going on a Katana wielding zombie Murder spree? Go for it - you will get XP to spend on swinging that bad boy better! Whilst lives tend to be somewhat atomicised - when you die you lose everything, you still regain some of your skills that you have invested, and your corpse will litter the landscape somewhere to recover some of your equipment.

Recommended!
My suggestion: Get your asses on Steam and get this game downloaded and try it out. It is Free to Play (At least at the moment) -- I will be commencing a short series let's play shortly to see how well I do in this game before I look to hitting up a server with other players.
