Where did she come from, cotton-eyed joe?
Yeaaaa….that just happened, folks.
Any how, I am well aware that my blog unfortunately dwindled to fewer and fewer posts until it eventually just went quiet for a bit there. In all absolute honesty, it was mostly out of priority and time shifting in life – and unfortunately keeping my blog up to date was one of the things that went to the back burner until such a time as I could properly do it again.
So here I am!! I don’t have any miniatures for you today, as painting was also a back-burned item, but I have been doing some gaming as of late!
Lately I have been playing A LOT of 7 Days to Die. I have to admit, I love this game a lot and that has a lot to do with watching LordMinion777‘s YouTube videos of him and his mates/girlfriend bro-ing out on it, but it’s stacks of fun.
The idea is Zombie Survival Crafting. So kind of…. Day Z meets Minecraft. I was recently playing with a friend and we set off on our brave adventure into the land of infected humans and broken down homes.
We head into this old gas station. As I’m scuttling around down in the station looting cars and various left over people’s limbs I suddenly hear ‘HOLY MOTHER OF …. WHAT JUST HAPPENED’.
Turns out my friend had found a ladder leading to the roof, and plummeted to his broken boned doom.
Did I live? …. Nope. Not a chance.
We ended up not making it back to any type of structure before night hit and quickly built ourselves a little hide out in the middle of the rubble.
Sorry you’ve caught us in the middle of renovations. Please excuse the mess. Teehee.
Nah actually this was a pretty tough little fort come sun down. It was mildly terrifying in the flicker of a candle light watching zombie shadows shoot past the gaps and then start ripping into the walls – but we lived.
Looked very cozy on the inside if I do say so myself.
It is important to keep in mind though, that this game is most certainly an Alpha. Even though it’s heaps of fun even WITH alpha style bugs, there is still definitely a lot of bugs. And the game play experience is changing and updating constantly.
Loot this corpse you say? Don’t mind if I do….
There is currently an issue with Zombies spawning mid air. The lucky survivors of that particular glitch end up on rooves occassionally, so in the morning my “first objective” for my survival was to wander the streets and pluck them down with my cross-bow. Without fail, every single one “landed” mid fall in the air.
Ah well, it made looting them all the more amusing I guess.
Well, that’s all for today my friends! I shall leave you with this glorious screen shot of the amazing sun rise.

Ellison
