DayZ explosion

So DayZ has exploded all over the place, popping up in forum threads and even made it into PC Gamer in the USA. It has pushed ARMA II sales into number 1 on steam and Bohemia Interactive are now in talks with the creator about future plans. They have also implemented it in there next ARMA II update. Although they have said when ARMA III comes out, it may take over a year to port it over, but the plan is still there. With the level of sales Im not surprised with the number of people playing now, which is over 455,000 with 45,000 currently alive. I also just found out today through one of future applicats (Mr_Ragnarok), that this mod is made by drum roll…. NEW ZEALAND!!! So if this pans out into its own game, NZ will be able smack their flag on this and say we made one of the future top selling games.

The fire from the sky still falls...

DayZ IPX server

Im getting a little closer to getting this setup. First off I need Robag to confirm these details. Can we fit the specs of this thread quoted thread below? If so I will roll ahead with the next step. Also if you can, please let me know the actual info of our gear so I can let them know what it is.

Beta Watch - DayZ (ARMA II MOD)

It was time to leg it out of town, the sun was setting and I need to get that gash looked at. If I didnt find safety soon, I was going to bleed to death. With no one around to help, being stuck in a pitch black town full of walkers in my state would surely mean my end.

The sun had set some hours ago and the sound of gun shots from the town below rang in my ears, it was close by but far enough that I knew that I would be fine. The only thing I feared more then getting eaten, was being shot. Its a hard life but when everyone is fighting to survive, humans are deadlier then walkers. I had eaten the last of my rations and left myself will little to attend to further wounds. The bleeding had stopped, but I was still in bad shape. Im just lucky I didnt lose any more blood or I might have to find some blood packs for a transfusion. One thing was for sure, I needed to find some friendlies or at the very least, brave going back into to town for further supplies. I do remember passing a hospital and general store, but the large horde at my back would have ripped me apart had I cracked the windows to gain access. The pile of dead bodies I passed outside the apartments was warning against it. If they could take down a group, I stood little chance of getting away. Maybe tomorrow they might have moved on, or even better, chased that poor bastard down there out of town. Maybe if I travel a little further into the woods, I can get some rest and see what the day brings. Thats all we can hope for now… just one more day.

Looking at up coming gaming future...

Well this weekend ushers in the start of the Guildwars 2 first beta weekend, followed soon by Diablo 3 full release and more Guildwars 2 beta test weekends with the final release also being very close (not counting the 2 other betas Im currently in which I can not disclose). Im just letting everyone know that I will be informally removing myself from all ladders that I said I would be in. Between these two games and playing causal LoL games on the side (I have invested way to much money into that game to just let it go) plus my beta testing commitments, I will have no time for current ladder games or skrims. If Im around and you need a player for any thing, Im more then happy to jump in and help out. This is why I say informal, as I will leave my name on all current rosters just in case Im needed. As much as I would love to compete along side all of you, my priorities with games needs to take a new focus.

Beta Watch - DUST 514

We are currently standing on the precipice of new gaming era. I bring to you, Dust 514.

A change in the tide of war is coming. No longer will they rule the skies above us with the unabated reckoning of their massive corporations. Let us put feet to the earth and take them down from the inside. Band together my brother mercenary and join me in a battle for the galaxy. From down here they can not, and will not ignore us. For as much as they may hit us from above, so will they feel the sting from our battle cries into the skies.

Backup mumble server

Due to down time with the mumble server tonight, came to my attention that we dont have a backup. So for just such cases, I got us one. I dont if or when Robag can give us a better log on name… but here are the details. Last thing I want is a match night and this happens. So if you want to jump on, do so. Its only a 20 slot server but I think that is more then enough for a backup.

Hostname: voice25.sydney.hypernia.com
Port: 64778

Also, when I have the time I will put in some structure to the channels etc… but I think just an open lobby should do for the next couple hours while I get some stuff done and figure it out.

Exclusive game testing site!

Thanks to a friend, I have finally gotten back on a site which does hard core game testing. This is an exclusive, bare bone game testing site. It also has a clear cut NDA, with instant bans and possible legal action if I even mention any thing Im doing for them. So, on that note… if you are interesting in testing games (you dont get to pick, its just what ever they have going at the time), then please let me know. I can say that they get a lot of FPS game titles from EA and other big companies with other game styles thrown in from time to time. So if you are willing to put in some hours for bug finding (and some fun on the side), let me know. Please be sure you are willing to keep to the code and NDA, as entry into this will be on my head if you are approved through me. People braking any regulation not only gets you banned, but those you invited AND the one who got you the invite!

COMING TO QLD BITCHES!!!!

Ok, so Im visiting my son for his birthday in early Nov. Then the girlfriend wanted to visit friends in QLD before we flip on home to WA. I would love it so much if we could arrange a huge IPX team meat up in QLD in Nov, so while she gets a girls weekend, I would love a guys(and IPX girls) night. IPX party anyone? First will need a place for it to happen… then of course, everyone of you great little bastards to come see me and the rest of the crew. Would mean a lot to me as I dont make it east all that often. Anyone up for it?

Beta Watch - World of Warplanes

First up, could someone mod this into the news section or give me access so I can move it there and remove this after. Thanks. Click read more for the full article.
