I was doing great. Survived 45 days, had some light survivor armor, high skills. then I drove into the minefield.

New start, police sniper on the FEMA Camp scenario. I killed every zombie in camp by luring them into the burning building, pulped all the corpses, and thought I was doing pretty well. I had already found an entrenching tool off a dead zombie soldier, so I was able to use it to clear out the wreckage of the destroyed building all pulp the corpses inside.

Then I fell down a hole in the ground that was created by the collapsed wreckage

There was a lava rift directly underneath the FEMA Camp.

Burned alive in a river of lava within the first 3 in-game hours.

those deaths make this game worth playing.

Really, if a brute doesnt knock you into a burning building at least once, or multiple brutes dont play pingpong with your corpse, why are you playing?

I was sawing parts off of a car when a hostile npc ran up and torched me with a flamethrower…

was doing extremely well,had repaired a beetle to full operational status…so i was driving around like a moron in order to cart my LOOT towards my 5x5 wooden shack and then something i did not expect to happen,as i forgot to put the gas tank of that fucking beetle beneath the seats i left it as default,on the front.  
so i was going on a curve and i barely nicked a wrecked bicycle and the whole was tank exploded.the fucking car went into bits and i managed to crawl out burned as fuck,extremely wounded and with broken limbs…just to die thanks to my ammo stockpile going off.  
i was both awestruck and amazed at how random this was.

Was playing a cyberjunkie character and I had gotten to the point where I can remove all of the faulty-bionics with just an increase in first-aid skill (too bad it didn’t happen, good first-aid books are rare as hell). I was able to remove the leaky bionic using some crack and ended up with huge damage while trying to remove the others.

So I went looking for a fungal-bloom (ya know, for teh fruit) and ended up running into Mi-Gos and Zombie-Soldiers. Somehow a MOLLE pack wearing Zombie-Grenadier pulled out a grenade-hack and boom, “Watch the last moments of your life…?”

I didn’t know this game had GRENADE HACKS!! Been playing stable for quite some time now and I update to experimentals only to be killed by grenade-hack!

Yea, it was felt that hacks did not have enough variety. I think they have a timer or something so you can run from them?

in theory they do. they begin a short countdown when ‘the [%] flashes menacingly1’

Reality: they can still move when priming themselves.

They ll catch up as your stamina declines.

You better shoot them while you can.

Got chased down and smashed by a hulk. I had melee’d him to two red bars, though, thanks to hydraulic muscles.

The buttons have changed and I was playing on a laptop with no numpad.

I had a bottle of water in my hand. I wished to swap it for something in my inventory I could wield like a weapon. A pop-up menu appeared, with several options, most of which were not labelled with a key to be pressed to select them. I failed multiple times to put a waterbottle into my tiny fanny pack in place of the big stick I was somehow carrying.

I died because the house on fire attracted a zillion zombies while I was standing there with my hands glued to each other and flapping like I was some infomercial actor.

I miss being decently familiar with the controls for this game!

ughh I can’t remember anything about anyone unless it interests me, and probably not even then. Unless it was offhandedly mentioned by a random stranger on the internet I took a liking to. Which… makes me feel stalkerish when I instantly think of all the little things in their life that I have ingrained into my mind against my will every time I talk to them.
