    so jealous. I need to get back on. Dark Souls has been eating all my time this week.

    Yeah, that's exactly what I heard. Scared the crap out of me. I just presumed it was the sound of impact, but you can tell from the video that the bullet's hitting dirt sounds different, muffled like you said earlier.

    If I ran away for nothing, then I'm hilariously embarrassed. I don't know, though. As I ran, they fired more and they stopped firing when I got behind the truck. Paranoia is my main feeling in DayZ though, so...

    He just released an updated version that fixes that and more.

    Damn, I'm just heading offline. GMT will be a sucker for this. Might get to play with you guys this weekend.

    Game's out, and so is Durante's resolution fix. The port feels pretty unoptimized, but it looks fantastic running at higher, native resolutions Edit: Turns out it's having some wonky performance on ATI cards, seems to be getting solid 30fps on almost all half decent nVidia cards.

    Holy shit. So I decided to do a run to the airfield for loot. Horrible idea because, although I saw no players, the place was crawling with zombies. I did end up replacing my AKM for an M4, if only because it's apparently not as loud. Anyway, on the way back South running toward Stary Sobor, I start hearing a few gunshots, but they sound real weak like they're pretty far off in the distance. So I keep an eye out for the general direction they're coming from, and continue running. As I'm moving through some trees, a few more shots fire off, and I start hearing them crack off the ground and trees around me. I immediately stand up and sprint, and look round to see if I can see the shooter, which I can't. The shots are also attracting zombies, so I'm having to dodge two things now. I just about make it behind a truck to cover his fire so I can turn and take out the wave of zombies that have been approaching. After they were all dealt with, I sprint down into Stary and hide in a building and waited for about five minutes. I didn't hear any further shots, so either he didn't follow me or I lost him. But man, the sound design in that small encounter was just phenomenal. It's not a new sound for me to hear in video games, but it's the first time I remember that hearing the rounds crack off the trees actually mattered, and it's one of the first times where the sound surprises you and splits the silence. The more I play the game, the more small things just keep revealing themselves that destroy me with happiness.
  8. All the Ultima games are on sale on GoG at the minute. From what I hear, 7 is the best, along with the Underworld games.

    We'd be the Robin Hoods of Chenarus. Amazing. This needs to happen. Once we all are equipped to survive, of course.
  10. Broken Sword: The Serpent's Curse Kickstarter

    The backgrounds like fantastic, and the return of some of the original team is great, as well as the original Nico. Characters look a bit weird, but not to a level where I'd be annoyed, and that's totally the art critic from the gallery in Two. Disappointed it's going KS, but I love the series too much not to back. I'll probably do the $100 pledge.

    Of course. We're not assholes, we just want what's ours; all the pepsi and beans. By the way, I just found two spare boxes of matches and a spare revolver, so if people need any of these, let me know. I'll probably be on at some point tomorrow evening.
  12. Anyone else feel like we now have something to aim for in DayZ? Flight of the Thumbs. A helicopter will be ours.
  13. The talk about the female gamer stuff reminded me of this pretty great story from last week: http://cake-pie.com/...re-amazing/931/

    We should start a roving group of bandits that hold up every player we see and demand they hand over their beans and Pepsi.
  15. Half-Life 3

    I remember that demo killing me knowing that there was no chance my laptop could run it. That first playthrough of Half-Life 2 is still really memorable in my head because with everything turned to their lowest, the thing still ran at roughly 15fps and my laptop would constantly overheat and shut itself down. And even then, I knew the game was just something else. It's hard to believe it's been almost five years since The Orange Box and Episode 2. God damn, Valve. I don't think the wait would have been so bad if they didn't leave it on that cliffhanger.
