So many great players that stream 7D2D! So who to watch??? Should I be a loyal follower to a well deserved and talented streamer as he/she fights desperately to survive the tide of darkness? Or be a Sultan with many "wives" hopping from channel to channel looking for the one who pleases me the most? Can I do both?

When I saw the rich are in AIRSHIPS while the rest of us are down below... Sold! Also they have a voice actor narrate the book, so I had to buy the first book AT LEAST to see what's up!

So I'm priming my hype engine on some good apocalypse books, I bought "I am legend" (Its more a Vincent Price "Last man on earth" meets Will Smith's "I am legend movie, with a lot of angst added. That didn't do it as I had hoped. Last time I read the "Slow Burn" series and that was wonderful! (I highly recommend this series for 7D2D dead is dead max difficulty players) Any recommendations from other book readers? Maybe less than one week left so only 3 book series at most, if I'm allowed to be picky.

Computer games have always pushed the limits of software and hardware. I would go so far as to say that computer games have played a large part in computer hardware development. There isn't a perfect gaming computer software for humans yet and maybe never will be, because you have to take into account the human mind's limitations. Perhaps some advanced quantum computer will make up its own language and make great games fast. But not yet...

I'm upset by that video. -It was too short. -Did the hero win or the supervillain? -I didn't get a chance to eat one popcorn piece. (please refer to item #1.

Yes currently, late game needs work. I believe an intelligent bandit AI could be an extreme threat, even late game (A21 apparently). I recommend that most bandit AI does not try to outflank the player and maybe have levels of bandit AI where most (level 1 Bandit AI) would ether: Shoot, Scoot or hide. Higher levels could including flanking and even a sniper or covering fire to keep the players head down while they flank.

The game is good. Lot of stuff to do and different ways to do them. There is always new content (Mods and/or new alphas). There is room for growth built/planed in for a late game. No dead ends at mid-game like many survival games today.

That has merit! You could pack in the area with the big POIs. Sort of a New York city test. Or... Change that to 1kx1K (or smaller), then use a map loader that uses free CPU cycles to load adjacent maps. (By using the Windows Interrupt Request Priorities (IRQ) to activate the map loader when the player is not surrounded by zombies, for example.) A potential global map right there. You could extend that by making the users PC a Client and its only jobs are to paint the screen, collision detection and keyboard/mouse movement. Player location is sent to the Map server (Edit every 5-10 seconds) Then make a map server that can be the players PC, BUT could be a beefy server that manages the small 1K map area (or 9 if the map blocks are small enough) per player. Other services can record the looting and damages done to the map and zombies and then would send to the map server anything that updates the maps state. So to make sure everyone gets updated map information but not ALL the new, changed map information: 1) Players current map is always updated as soon as possible (this would insure multiple people would see the same event that are in the same map in near RT) 2) To keep the map server "intelligent" make a database with the map matrix current location being the primary key and the 8 other map locations as the data. so on a 500 by 500 maps the primary key is the X Y coordinates. key range 001001-500500. OK that's enough, too much coffee I guess!

Well, there were eight men in that scene and I'm sure she sometimes thinks men ARE annoying bugs. Edit: The scene is also the perfect analogy of a programmer 'fighting' computer bugs! They use their minds to defeat them!

Here we see faatal fighting the bugs that keep us away from A20! (symbolized by the briefcase) I don't judge.

The money I gave them was spent on bitcoin when it was $2. So I gave them VAST amounts of money, one might say! (I guess that "one" would be me?)

Whelp. Neebs Gaming agreed that 7D2D is a "God Tier" survival game. Best of the best. I agree too. For A20 they are thinking of doing a 2v2 or a full team playthrough. Both would have pros and cons for a first play though with all the changes.

I don't think there are any more currently active MF (Those drunk MF bugs were all beaten to death in some guys basement!). Unfortunately, the lower priority bugs saw the "snuff video" and are in hiding. The basement bug killer is said to now be hosting a "Go home Kraken!" party, with guarantees that all bugs be treated with the respect and dignity they deserve. *That is all*

I predict that TFP will use their EXTRA Super Sain, Jedi powers of Epic'ness this coming week. Streamers will showcase 26-28 Nov and I will be doing Chuck Norris impersonations starting Nov 29 in A20! Love and peace (except for zombie hordes) will fill the world to overflowing. World leaders will hug each other with tears in there eyes and Covid will leave this planet, head held low!

Anyone else feel that TFP are going for this weekend to release? It would be something to be thankful for on Thanksgiving weekend. If it was when would we know?

Phrase of the day:

Good points. With the moon, I forget if its always full every 7 days. If so it would be supernatural. A biblical apocalypse would explain some things. It does mention that people would "seek death but not find it". My opinion on player infection is the player is immune to the virus (whatever) but not the host of (Edit Bacteria) in a zombies mouth. So antibiotics cure the player.

My take on why Arizona has a lot of ammo is two fold: 1) Arizona has a lot of guns! I'm not sure how many guns they have and I don't think anyone does! The gun laws are "Wild west" there. 2) There are several Army bases there, one major one if memory serves. SO, with that in mind, if the zombies attack, they will most likely have martial law in most states. The military would be out in force with lots of ammo. The solders got infected and didn't use all the ammo. The End. (Well, the end if the player's character dies, YOU are the last hope!)

YES! And the ability to tame a zombie bear. I vote the Intelligence line should do it. Then Intelligence would be a pretty dang cool option! (of course I have not tried the new toys for Int). But... would an intelligent person try to tame a zombie bear or any zombie in the first place?? Well, all options are the easiest if you allow for respawn. Dead-is-dead or your not doing the Chuck Norris way.

Very good, minion Blake! You shall now be promoted to Chief minion Blake. Carry on! (with more cool ideas!)

I'm a solo player, but as I have 8000 split personalities, I am (we are) MUCH more important than everyone else and deserve many more replies from moderators and devs! Of course, I (we) have only paid for one game, this would be much more than 5000 people who just pirated the game. Some countries pirate MUCH MUCH more than others.. So, my list of demands (for now): -Vending machines that sell Coke Classic for 10 dukes (Giving you max stats for three days). -A full sized airport with a 747 that I can fly, after fixing it completely with some duck tape (I like challenges) . -Ziplines. Ziplines everywhere!

Ahhh to be only 63 again.

I thought I heard that TFP were using more location relevant loot in A20. Or at least somebody talked about it. Or I had a dream...

With food being in short supply, I think finding as many working vending machines and marking them on the map will be important. Even for Strength builds, food will need to be watched.

Yup that's them, I have a feeling one of my characters will meet their end, in a small space filled with them! The "Kill order", Day 1-5 Pack of zombie dogs with one or two zombie bears has been around for some time now. This is fine for people who like to use the "Death Bonus" but is against the progressive increase in abilities, loot and difficulty the rest of the game has. Not a fan, but it does make me cautious the first few mornings.
