I never heard him speak before and I expected his voice to be really deep. I’m pleasantly surprised.

He sounds almost like President Biden.😏

[@karamay4189]

@@philipmancera5796 if you mean that he sounds smart, I agree.

I met him at a convention in Florida a couple years ago and he's a really nice man. We spoke about the Addams family and we also spoke about Raul Julia and he told me what it was like working with him and that it was a very sad time when he passed away. Along with him, I also met Christopher Lloyd, Christina Ricci, Kane hodder, Fairuza balk and Edward furlong.

Holy crap he looks fantastic for his age

I'll make sure it's set my alarm. It's been a long time since I've seen Christopher do a talk.

Great interview.

[@jcb0249]

Stayed up just to watch, very informative. Any tips for agriculture/permaculture in southern AZ? I mostly hear "Move somewhere else." For that one.

Check out Tucson Village Farm, Watershed Management Group, and Brad Lancaster!

My latest book just came out, Foraging Arizona. I hope you get a copy

Hello Christopher, I saw you on Buzzfeed's "professionals play" and many viewers think you should give The Long Dark another try. It looked like they didn't teach you how the game works, a lot of people commented on that. Would be amazing if you made a series on that game, of course you're probably not the gamer kinda guy, but it was very fun to see you try and give your own takes to the game and to the developers so they can make the game even better and more realistic!

great interview besides interrupting Carel a lot.

Omg he’s 72

I saw a video about you playing The Long Dark. Now I think you could try the game called DayZ. Maybe it's not the most realistic scenario of apocalypse (28 Days Later style zombies, but don't worry, according to lore of the game you're immune to the virus), but it's certainly really realistic about overall survival. The first things I want to do is what you shouldn't do there: 1. Eating grass 2. Destroying hay bales for insulation material 3. Throwing ammo into fire isn't the best idea 4. Look for fruit in orchards (for some reason these orchards are fake, I became a victim of this and they don't give any fruit, if you want fruit, try finding fruit trees near houses, along the road etc. and watch under your feet, you don't pick them up straight from a tree) 5. Opening cans using concrete walls or asphalt. Now learn cyryllics, because town names are written in Russian alphabet. After your character is spawned, take a look on bottom right corner. There are several markers, that are visible all the time (when they're white, you're doing survival right, if they're blinking red or just red, you're going to die if you don't care about these). Also there are several markers, that are visible only if you do something: 1. Plus marker: Health, the most important marker of all time, you can't outright regenerate in seconds when you lose it 2. Drop marker: Blood, the 2nd most important, along with health the only stat, that can instantly lead to your death if they're low enough, the rest of markers affect these two. 3. Thermometre marker: Temperature, actually red marker is good and blue marker is bad, affects your chancs to catch diseases and if it's blinking blue, you start losing health 4. Apple marker: Nutrition, don't need to explain this 5. Bottle marker: Hydration, don't need to explain this too Now markers, that aren't always visible: Wound mark: means you're bleeding, will stay until treated Pathogen mark: you're sick (but doesn't tell, what disease you got), will stay until disease is gone Pill mark: you took a medicine, will stay until medicine doesn't work more Stomach mark: you're full, some more food or drink and you'll start vomiting On your bottom left corner, you can see running man marker. That's your stamina. The heavier equipment you carry, the less stamina you have. At the center bottom of a screen you have hotbar slots. You can drag stuff you've found onto these slots and after clicking a designated number you take in your hands these items. Now to inventory and looting. When you see something, I advise opening inventory and checking your vicinity instead of using F. You have to manually dress your character (slots for clothing, guns and several melee weapons are in the upper right corner of inventory). Onto guns, RMB makes guns ready to fire, by clicking RMB you aim down the sights, by holding RMB you hipfire. I advise taking ammo to hotbar slots when you want to reload a magazine or when a gun has internal magazine. With holding R you load a mag (or a single bullet if you don't have a mag) or clear a jam, with double tapping R you extract a bullet from a chamber. Onto repairing stuff, everything has their own "health bar". Pristine is the best condition ever, Worn is next followed by Damaged, Badly Damaged and Ruined. You can't repair ruined things. There are also items that are irrepairable (like shovel or hammer, Idk why), but most items can be repaired. The most universal reapiring thing is duct tape of course (because why not). I found everything I could find as basics. Remember, on a coast you won't find much. You have to go inland (that means west or north, there are 2 coasts).
