Also, he never left the easy areas, hah. The equivalent of milling about in the WoW starting zone indefinitely and saying there's just no challenge at all to be found in the game. It doesn't look like he ever left the edge of suburbia.

...so what you're saying is that this isn't a game and has no pretensions of being one, right?
I have no idea how you get from "You didn't go far enough to get to the difficult areas" to "this isn't a *real* game" :V

That's quite an... interesting mind you have there, to be... 'capable' of making such a leap as that.

Tried the experimental game, and have to wonder.... wtf is up with the packs of zombie dogs? They were bad enough alone, but now, even with a weak scent and light step character, these dogs can sense me through the wall on the other side of a room in the middle of the night, smash through the window and swarm me. It seems like you have to hope that you simply don't run into them before you get a gun in order to survive.

So, playing an experimental ((it WAS the latest a few days ago, but that's probably changed)) and pitched a tent. How do I unpitch my tent?

Also its REALLY hard to keep my mouth warm during nighttime. Like my lips are apparently frostbitten just because it was dark for awhile. Also things like a blanket don't help. Could someone add a way to not freeze to death early because there's only one craftable item early on that warms the mouth (bandana, and that's only 20 warmth!)

'e'xamine the tent?

I'm more worried about the fact that today's experimental doesn't have the dodge fix in.

Get your tailoring and survival levels to 1 and craft yourself a fur scarf, or raid a clothing store and hope you get lucky.

Yeah I managed to craft a "balaclava" after my tailoring leveled up a bit.

Found two basements where they were growing pot. I started as a farmer, so I might move my stuff over to one of those eventually, since its apparently too cold to grow anything outside  >:(

Speaking of which, the hoe isn't able to actually till soil. Had to use a entrenching tool I got from that zombie soldier. I'm...guessing that's not intended?

Oh, also its crazy hard to try the game with meat intolerance and junkfood intolerance. Well, ok its not THAT bad, but its still pretty difficult since I'm evading meat like the plague.

   The only reason meat is so easy is because animals just spawn right up on you. I enjoy rattlesnakes for a quick snack as they butcher into about 1 or 2 meat and don't run away from you. Anyway the best source of veggies is creatures as well, they just take a bit to find.

So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.

Bahahaha. What even? Wow.

But no, that's not what I'm saying at all.

In other news, I've been considering working on sequel to the original  Live Action Cataclysm video I made for the Kickstarter. Would anyone be interested in seeing this happen? Would anyone in or able to reach the greater Boston be interested in helping make it happen?

If so, send me a PM.

I just discovered the most badass profession to ever exist.

The Razor Boy starts with a leather jacket, 2 dexterity higher than you paid for, and friggin' knives in his fingers.

And chewing gum.

But pair it with a bandana, a cowboy hat, some sunglasses, and cigarettes (potentially candy ones if you don't like addiction)? An awesome weapon, like a wood axe, sledgehammer, lajatang, or quarterstaff? A sports car, motorcycle, semi truck, or armored car for the extremely lucky (or maybe even just a regular car covered in spiked plating with swords welded onto the front)? And give him some kind of ridiculous but cool name like Solid Bullet or West Pistol?

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.

Send me a PM, since I'll probably immediately lose track of volunteers who end up posting in the thread.

For anyone else who wants to help in a less in-person way, I'd love to get *actual* letters submitted next time that I can read off.

I'd love to see a sequel, but I can't do much to help due to geographical reasons. Maybe I'll make a letter, but no promises.
