  1. Having survived maybe 3 months of the other side of the town, I decided to build up a new safehouse next to the police station in West Point; with the final aim to break into it and loot me sum shotguns and whatnots. I had plenty of pistols, bullets, shotgun shells at this stage but no actual shotguns. (This is before I knew you could break into the gun shop) So I spent maybe 10 or so days clearing the new house and its surrounding area. Butchered literally hundreds of z's in the process. At the end, the lawn was just corpses. No grass. No flowers. Just blood and corpses. Ferrying down supplies from the other safehouse, took perhaps a week and then I spent maybe another week with the carpentry and fortification. Pleased with myself, I stealthily ninjad my way into the police station and proceeded to get jumped and bit after opening the very first door inside. (Incidentally, I found nothing in the station itself except office supplies, clothes, corpses and a lethal dose of zombieitis.)
  2. I think a guy touched on it but I would love to see flamethrowers. Yeah, I know the limitations and the reasons for them not ever being put in the game. It's just my opinion that it would be hilarious to be able to use one on a big group of zeds. Maybe make a mod for it rather than incoporating it with the main game. Other than that I don't mind what weapons they introduce, as long as ammo remains a premium.
  3. Well, there should defintiely be some sort of mechanism that reduces the amount of panic induced by just seeing zombies as time goes by. Even though its fun popping beta blockers like they're tic tacs all the time, one would have thought that by week 12 shooting zomboids in the face would become second nature. Or perhaps not. Having personally never shot a risen dead in the face before, I wouldn't know if it gets boring after a while or not.
  4. I didn't really know there was a huge difference but I started in WP and now I'm about 3 months in and I can't really get anywhere close to the downtown area due to the obscene amounts of zombies everywhere. Still its been good fun playing so far though.
  5. ^^ Exactly. I agree with you Aenye; It is up to each individual to sift through both sides of the arguments in order to verify what is actually going on, not just go with what they are being told. For me the situation is interesting just because of the theatrical behavious of the Russian military. So The Crimea has not been invaded by Russia because a) the Russian soldiers are not carrying any insignia and b) the Crimeans love the Russians so much that even if there was an invasion, which we are told there isn't, they would be welcomed with open arms anyways? So why not dispense with the charade and just put some Russian peace keeping forces in the region? Is it because the Russians would then be breeching the stipulations of the Budapest Memorandum? Possibly. In any case I am sure that if they had declared that they were acting with transparancy and with right intentions, noone would condemn them for wanting to protect innocent civilians from the turmoils of civil unrest. Instead the Russian government maintain this barefaced lie that 30,000 well armed, well equipped and well organized 'local defense militias' with access to Russian military hardware have sprung up and are securing strategic military targets. From an independent viewpoint, its a pretty suspicious move from Putin and I am not the only one to think so.
  6. Just to clarify, Хрущев (Khrushchev) gave Crimea to Ukraine in 1954. As I said, I didnt research anything I wrote. I also found out that there are neo-fascist elements amongst those who seized power in Kiev so calling them Nazis isn't as ridiculous as I thought it was. Still, its all a bit of a mess, eh? Maybe next time It would be a bit smarter to research the topic throughout before jumping in the conversation with a long post and start throwing accusations People in Crimea aren't afraid of "their families getting shot and buried over freedom of speech and democracy". They were the ones to call Russia for help, frightened by things that happen over in Kiev. People there were going from house to house, causing mess and brutally torturing/killing people that were a part of a police defense group, "Berkut", defending Yanukovitch and attempting to keep the damn peace. I don't protect or in any way try to justify what Yanukovitch did - but Berkut did not deserve getting themselves burnt to death or killed by a bunch of neo-nazis who killed people left and right, opposition or police. I've seen various pictures on the internet (I do research my stuff before saying it ) And people there are hugging the Russian army, taking pictures with it, NOBODY is conquering anyone's land. Ukrainian and Russian people have had a "brotherhood" relationship with each other for a long time, if there's ever a reason for armed forces in Crimea, it's because people in it asked for the help. Yeah dude, I originally intended to make a general point about media bias and the art of spindoctoring and propaganda but it kinda got out of hand. Didn't really want to go into the actual politics and events cos I do not trust the way it is being reported here in europe. And I would be a lot more wary about what media outlets in America or Russia are telling people. So yeah, that leaves the internet; perhaps not the most credible source of information ever invented.

  8. There will not be a west v east war over this. So yeah having gotten that out there, you can ignore the rest. This is just what i've been thinking. Most western media is happy to compare Putin to Hitler becasue the name Hitler generates instant headlines and publicity (and the whole olympics thing is just pure analogy gold right there). Even the supposed free press loves to print money and any sensationalist buzzword-generating hyperbole that can be rehashed, retweeted and resold is profit. No matter what happens, those in the west love making Big News about trivial matters at the best of times and any conflict like this is just gold dust to them. Now I don't live in russia or eastern europe but I will bet a substantial amount of money that their media works in exactly the same way. Everyone has an angle, everyone wants to make money and noone is afraid of relying on old stereotypes and scaremongering to publish their story. Anyways, this situation is of course a hugely serious matter if you live in the Ukraine or the Crimea. Whatever led to the Ukrainian President Yanukovych to be ousted by his own people or what crimes he commited in his term in office is up for debate; he is still technically the President and so the current govenrment is technically illegal but I think calling them Nazis is a bit over the top. Calling someone on a different side of the political spectrum a Nazi is the youtube school of political thought. I mean, Yanukovych was of course corrupt and based on the riots people did not feel he represented them very well. I worked with Ukrainians 3 years ago and they hated him then and it seems that he hasnt been doing a great job of winning supporters since. Look at it this way: If a democratically elected President is forced into exile by an angry populous, said President is obviously not being supported by a democracy anymore. When they are burnign effigys of you in the streets, then it is time to step down. Not flee to Russia and call your opponent a nazi. Thats a little bit childish. So he is hiding in Russia. Good for him. He seems to have friends there. Fancy that, considering how utterly corrupt the russian kleptocracy is. Sorry, I mean democracy. And russia sends in troops into the Crimea to secure the peninsula in the chaos? Thats a bit crazy but not as crazy as TO FLATLY DENY THAT IT IS RUSSIAN TROOPS THERE. Oh no, not russian troops Putin claims. Allegedly it is a local defense militia. Yeah, local militia my arse. So 15,000 local boys went to the army surplus stores in their villages and said, 'yes, please give me a russian uniform without insignia. This is important so the locals know that i am on their side. Also, give me that russian armored personel carrier over there, the one with the russian flag on it, yeah. Good. I think my pocket money should cover it.' Anyways, for me thats the crazy bit. That could well be the reason why the west is a bit nonplussed at the situation. Invading a state with a shadowy army not bearing any colours is pretty much Bond Villainy level of madness right there. I mean, fair enough, the peninsula was Russian until 1946: it's always been a strategic point and Russia is a lot more qualified to intervene in local politics than the west. America for one does not have any rights what so ever to go in there. Let the Russians meddle with the eastern bloc. It might not be favourable to the Ukrainians or the europeans or the americans or even the bloody africans, but they are going to be a hell of a lot more welcome in Crimea than the Americans will ever be. I have no idea if the people in Crimea wants to be Russian: Reports indicate that they would prefer to be independant from either, but Crimean politicians will be voting whatever aforementioned 15,000 armed foreign combatants will be telling them to vote. Noone wants to have their families shot and buried in the garden over something as silly as free speech and democracy. So they will probably vote to distance themselves from Kiev if this referendum comers to pass. The story will be over and Russia will be in control over a piece of land where they've had strong influence over since... Oh I don't know. They wrestled it off the Turks? My black sea history is a bit hazy. So why is the American media so obsessed about it? The liberal media is of course humanitarian. They want us to see the horrors that is going on in the shadow of armed insurrection and possible civil war. Good on them. The humantiarian angle sells newspapers. And the right wing media? Well they just want a good old fashioned Obama bash. "Oh look, Obama is so weak compared to mighty bear Putin. He can't even stand up to one single superpower with Nuclear weapons. I bet he pees sitting down like a girly girl" Yeah, becasue Obama is the only american president that has been reluctant to fight russia in the past 100 years. Muppets. If the Republicans were in power then they would also treat this situation very carefully becasue they do not want a military confrontation with Russia. Noone wants a military confrontation with Russia. And the Russians are scared of Europe? Rubbish. The german export market alone is so utterly dependant on the russian market that they wouldn't even impose trade sanctions, let alone threaten military action. And Putin knows this. So if the russian media is saying that NATO in europe is a threat to Russia, then they are incredibly misinformed or probably just rabblerousing. I imagine they have their reasons though, and they will not tell us normal plebs. For that is what politics is and that is what is happening now. Russia has their own agenda which they will hide behind lies and propaganda. The Americans have their own agenda which they will hide behind lies and propaganda. Europe has its own agenda which, surprise surprse, they will hide behind lies and propaganda. The people of the Ukraine will suffer but they are only people. People are not as important as money or power. So thats the most I will ever write. I didnt research the issue. Ive just had a lot of time thinking about it whilst holed up in a cabin waiting for the apocalypse to end.
  9. I think you should be able to bury any body. Its annoying having all them zombies decomposing in the cabbage patch.. The smell would be horrendous, not to mention the flies and diseases that would follow. Better to bury the sucker and turn him into mulch. Just as long as he actually is dead of course... Actually that'd be rather amusing. As you say, go pay a visit to your old buddy Maybe have a toast or so in his honour. And then flinch in horror/disbelief as the one grasping hand comes punching out of the soil...
  10. It seems that people might mistake trolling for massive ass-hattery. Anyways, Improvised weapon kills, Planting C4 on vehicles or running people over constitutes as warfare, so I don't see where le epic trolling is in that. I genuinely thought tea bagging died out last decade and Team killing is as hilarious as stapling live badgers to your own scrotum, altough I doubt it will win you as many friends in the long run.
