I love how in AA's video, it was a tale of gradual transition in Spiff, how the power eventually went to his head and corrupted him. Spiff's version of the story? Yeah, I was gonna establish dominance from the very beginning.

[@zombiechow9974]

it always goes to his head. its what we come here for lol

[@randomintrovertedspider7510]

It fits the unreliable narrator trope very well. All have personality, and goals, and it shows how on each end the narrator is always unreliable if its in first person.

[@fullercrane1795]

It's true power does corrupt. Just look what people do in video games when there's no consequences. Hack people up for fun. Just like in Doctor who when there was these things that evolved from humans millions of years in the future. They were summoned from the future by the master. And they were killing people. They asked why are you killing people you came from us. It said they do it for fun. Which sounds insane. But they were that far apart from us. We may as well look like mere monkeys to them.

It did not dawn on me when I watched Amphibian’s video, but when Spiffing said “I will hold the food” at 1:50 he had planned to become dictator from the start. Plus, it’s great to see other perspectives for all of the private intrigue, like how Spiffing planned on turning Rarr into his right-hand man.

[@ComicalRealm]

The way PZ captures the apocalypse is literally what I’ve wanted to see in so much more media, you have control of literally ever facet. The setting, atmosphere and harsh mechanics go hand in hand, such a rewarding experience.

[@MCDexpo]

I see you everywhere. We must be subscribed to similar people

The best zombie survival game, everyone try it out its just 16€.

[@ryanclemons1]

you may like CDDA give that a try i mean it's free so no harm if you don't like it.

[@DBT1007]

And also.. The zombies need to be smarter. Zombies in pop medias are dumb. It's dumb. If zombies were human, then obviously they need to have somekind of intelligence. Even if just like.. the intelligence of 5years old kid. That's why i love left4dead. The zombies smarter than in some popular medias.

I feel like your name basically means King of the zombies and Spiff offed you out of dominance. The only royalty he follows is The Queen and thus couldn't allow you to be.

[@johnp.2267]

Spiff shoots two party members. Spiff: "They got bit! I saw them!" Surviving Player: "They were kissing!" Spiff: "There is no kissing in the zombie apocalypse."

[@jamesrichardson9355]

You gotta love the efficiency of that execution at around 21.50 5 shotgun shells and a finishing blow with a melee weapon. So humane.

[@clob7551]

When this video started I was kind of surprised Nurse wasn't in it. I'm so glad she came in later. Now if only we could get you guys to do a Rimworld-esque colony playthrough that would be amazing.

Spiffing was a genius taking the shorts. Protect the groin, the zombies always go for it.

keep the weak ones, some say you only want the strong, however this is in fact not true if you have a weak one stumbling who you support and keep with you then when the time comes you can leave them behind to be eaten by the horde while you get away safely. Remember you don't have to outrun the zombies... just the weak.

Or be just quick enough to stab them in the calves and then keep on running.

[@linksbetweendrinks7032]

I hadn't played this game in four years before I watched this video; so I updated and fired it up. Fifteen minutes in a zombie burst through the second-story bathroom door and instead of calmly raising my shotgun, I panic-clicked random buttons and stumbled out of the window. My legs were shattered, despite a small horde breaking my fall. Thanks, Spiff!

[@Justin_Stephens]

Per your request for information on how to survive, I’d need a bag of charcoal, bag of sand, some gravel, a couple of 50 gallon drum barrels plus a bow, hatchet, pocket knife, cast iron skillet, jacket and a rifle. Everything mentioned before the bow is just for water purification/recycling. (Layer crushed charcoal, sand, gravel in the barrel in that order bottom to top and make some holes in the bottom. Axe to cut down trees/notch logs for making structures plus dig rows for gardening. bow for hunting, .22 caliber rifle for defense. (Ammo is more common to find in peoples homes and a small box can hold as many as 1000 rounds. So it’s lightweight easy to pack around. can be made much quieter than large caliber rounds with suppressors and has enough muzzle velocity to pierce a skull one way and not come out the other side. Plus with the right weapon they’re fairly accurate.) Go out in the woods and get to work. Pickup to carry everything plus serves as a makeshift shelter until you have a decent structure to live in. I put this here so if someone happens to read it and there is some horrible disaster where you need the information you at least have some idea of what’s important. Learn how to field dress an animal and tie knots. If you can work a welder or a tap/die set that’ll be really useful for you as well. TLDR: there are things more important to survival than a big gun and lots of bullets. If you’re curious read above. P.S. hope you never need the info.

[@Justin_Stephens]

Oh and bring a shovel because if you have to field dress, you’ll want to dig a decent depth hole to put the waste in, last thing you want is to draw predators towards your new home.
