Seriously? Are you online now?

:( got ambushed by some bandits in the middle of nowhere, took out two of them and chased a third into a big city somewhere in the east. He was bleeding and went up into an office block and on the roof - I followed to finish him off. Bugged through a staircase and fell to my death..

150cc Rainbow Road is a cunt!?!

SNES or WiiU?

Wii U... I still have nightmares about 150cc SNES Rainbow Road, sneaky little fuckers...

Working through mirror mode now...

Love mirror mode.

I'm really drunk bit want to be there.

Fuck the outside.

I keep coming into this thread and forgetting which one it is and getting extremely confused by the matter-of-fact way you're all discussing your own involvement in ultra-violence. It was more obvious with GTA because you were all out stealing cars and kept posting screenshots. Day Z, not so much.

Well, we all got stories...

^^ I'd of thought the end of the world / zombie references would of given it away?

Apart from the ones that don't mention either the end of the world or zombies.

so much fun. career mode ate up about 6 hours of my evening yesterday.

create your own player, then you get drafted and play out the season in your assigned role. including getting benched when your playing badly (you can then simulate the game until you're back in). you have to enjoy basketball but that's true of any sports based game.

am the rookie point guard for the bulls which means i'm the sub for derrick rose (their best player) so until i step my game up I get the minutes he's resting or i get rotated to shooting guard if coach thinks i'm playing well and want's me playing off of d.rose. so my chances to influence the game are still quite fleeting and as such my career progression (including social media following) reflects that and based on my choices of phrasing in the post game press conferences my approval levels go up or down ultimately triggering changes in sponsorship or even being traded/paid more based on performance. when you have a shit game (still learning the controls and the best plays) you feel shit when you check your twitter between games and there some fan calling you a cunt for missing all your freethrows. in a way it is pretty much how the life of a nba player is these days.

it's amazing how far these games have come, asides from a couple of often repeated phrases about the teams past performances the commentary is actually spot on for the plays they're talking about to within crazy accurate precision. i gather if you have the xbone it can pick up if you swear while you're playing and it'll give you a technical foul (as the ref would in real life)

Just bought a Wii Classic controller... MK8 will now be finished in no time at all... And I can finally play the Wii version!

All these Day Z stories are making me incredibly jealous, sounds like just my kind of game - I wish I had a PC that was capable!

From what I hear its not that hard on machines... I run it on a rMBP bootcamped and they dont have the best of graphics cards...

Weathers too nice to play it atm.

I'm a console gamer really so I don't think my laptop even has a graphics card, I'll look at it when I get home & see if it's possible to upgrade it a bit(/lot).

I was too, barely play games to be honest, but the hype pulled me in...

Had to work today so am emailing from my phone (the work) and playing DayZ on my laptop.

After yesterday's death I my way up to the NW airfield (with drdvice last night). Had a nice Mosin that I'd painted black with scope/compensator/bipod, fully kitted out pistol, dressed all black: tactical shirt, tac vest, cargo trousers, ballistic helmet etc. Ready to kill some z's...

This afternoon I logged in to a room already filled with a group who were having a discussion about the ethics of killing other players. When they saw me there they freaked out and shot me to pieces. Discussion over.

HHAHAHA AMAZING.

Want to get back in soon.... still lost in the middle of nowhere... with no it... ffs... vehicals soon please!

Need to get back on with you guys soon....

I'm curious about this Day Z game... You can play it on a Mac, you say?

Yep, a thing called bootcamp, it was a bit of a pain to set up, but got there in the end, not sure if I mentioned it...

I'll look into it... I like the idea of dodging zombies then taking them out from half a mile away with a sniper rifle... :)

Zombies are easy to deal with. At the moment the release is only in alpha meaning it's so buggy you can outrun them/climb ladders etc to avoid them. The fun/hell comes with other players.

Fuck it. I'm going full-bandit.
