i like how he found a completely new strat to level strength and fitness as opposed to gerald williams who had to work out for an eternity

[@mrmcbaldspot]

As he awoke from his drunken stupor, he was not surprised to see himself naked, wounded, and in a burning house. It was another normal day for Washingbeard Democritus.

I dont think there is anything better on youtube than your long series. They are some of the best binge content out there, and your amazing commentary make them into the sort of an audiobook, with secondary visual elements

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Thanks - decided to string a few of these together next

[@AveragePootis]

@@ambiguousamphibian looking forward to it. I grew up watching arma 2 dayz videos, especially scavenging parts and stuff to fix vehicles and keep them going. I hope that we could some day see a series thats a bit more focused on vehicles at some point, considering how in depth the mechanic.... mechanics are

[@Gwentheferret]

@@ambiguousamphibian Wouldn't mind more long series, although this kind of re-do is fun, too. I like listening while trying to fall asleep.

[@jooot_6850]

@@ambiguousamphibianyipee! I got into your content when you still did long form stories and they were always my favorite. I still go back and rewatch your Rimworld challenges. Glad to hear some of that is coming back!

[@FroggySandwich]

You have no idea how many times I have watched and rewatched your zero to hero Gerald Williams and your worm man play through. This type of PZ content is GOLDEN. Keep up the Amazing work

[@FroggySandwich]

There’s something about AA’s voice. It’s like david attenborough

[@CasuallyShadow]

​@@FroggySandwichPERFECT DESCRIPTION OF HOW I FEEL WITH IT

[@rasputingrigori7378]

I'd like to think that Washinbeard's clothes are ripping, not due the stress and wear of the outside world, but because of his muscles tearing them apart from his gains.

[@That_guyVII]

Wise words from Russia's greatest love machine

[@Darkington]

If you ever feel this challenge needs more negative traits: "The Only Cure" let's you start with a missing arm which slows down everything and makes it so you can't wield anything two-handed. The "More Traits" mod let's you have more addictions as well as starting with injuries such as a broken leg or being totally covered in burns. As well as making your character afraid to use certain weapons.

[@thecoolestofthe834s2]

nah bro would start healing the zombies with - damage at that point

[@lemolea9571]

The only cure is the one that lets you amputate limbs to stop the infection spreading when bitten, right?

[@Darkington]

​@@lemolea9571 yep, only arms though.

[@BloodAngelU5]

The way this guy can make such interesting dialog with this game... it just pulls me in, I can't stop listening to it like I'm reading a survivors journal.

[@DonnieDaDream]

Ah yes, following in the literal footsteps of the great Gerald Williams.

[@chrismohr]

I just finished the 1 hour Gerald Williams video and you publish this, love ya ambiguous.

[@2dheethbar]

When watching the longer video, I saw how determined to live he was, avoiding death a shocking number of times. Surviving on worms and rotten food, dodging zeds whem they spotted him, and almost getting eating inside the car, he made it so far after much-earned successes. It was so motivating, I almost walked to work instead of driving that night (I live in east TX).

[@TeaMollie11]

😂

[@recu1]

LMAO

[@Facepalm9]

"The journey of an overweight, chain smoking, claustrophobic alcoholic-" The intro was such a vicious personal attack that I called the CIA to investigate AA.

[@Aproppo]

The most impressive part of this video is how beautifully eloquent your narration is! Splendid and meaningful verbiage gave a real weight to this video, love it!

Amphibian doing this challenge has made me fully convinced that he is in his masochist arc.

[@Brandon-dy8us]

That's what happens when pleasing the algorithm for maximum profits comes before your audience.

[@onlyjericho]

I might be a fool, but I still wait the return of this type of series....

[@chrismccorkle1685]

Love this format, this is what drew me to you originally and it's still just a calming and entertaining as it ever was

[@user-yj4sc8zr5m]

Help. I think my cat is racist

[@EnduringFrost]

I don't think there is a single video that you have made that doesn't bring me joy or captivate me. Eagerly awaiting 101-200 next!

[@gob384]

The rimworld sea ice series is my favorite set of videos on this channel, and the most calming playlist I ever watched. I would love to see more storytelling from AA in longer format like this again. The shorter narratives are excellent. But the pay-off of longer form content or series leads to much greater attachment and depth.

[@chiefbeef1003]

I like this format a lot. The voice over is a lot more digestable than the baroque poetry of previous playthrus. Gerald Williams and Torsquad were beautiful and an accomplishment of writing, but it was easy to have your eyes gloss over eventually. I also really liked the humor interspersed in the Sims and Zoo Tychoon videos.

[@savvywolfe9815]

Not even gonna lie ambi, I’ve really missed the PZ vids 😭😩 even if you don’t plan on doing long plays anymore, I’m just glad to see crazy pz stories again 😂😂 I really hope 2024 has more in store ❤

[@itsrosshammond]

I love this return to the more "POV journal/philosopher" style videos, your voice and style are terrific for it!

[@Traveler_zz]

Really loved the video, love the commentary and it was also great to see how you’re doing so well with such a difficult challenge, it’s also really interesting to see how you survive with all the challenges your character faces and how you used foraging, fishing, etc to survive.

[@TMMQuicksilver]

More zombie media needs Spanish Guitar playing as the villainous ghoul appears

[@jonathanwhite6576]

AA you have a very vague but highly descriptive mannerisms with your voice and I love the scenes that this creates during your narrating.

[@nerdybirdgames5407]

A true Christmas present! Loved the video, would love to see more.

[@bubbanator3340]

By far my favorite content from you is the long-winded ones. Between Kenshi and PZ, there's so much physiological things you do with it, that always make every minute worth listening to,

[@speedyspeeds]

They should make a gametype where it's not only a winter hell but it's always dark because an evil moon blocks the sky forever. Change up the dynamics so that finding light is a priority and challenge, and also indoor farming under grow lights.

[@radproturtle8066]

That’s literally “Don’t starve.” At night, if you don’t have a light source, you take a lot of damage. And there is extremely tough seasons, and many bosses that spawn with any input from the player.

[@lorddaem9641]

The amount of times I die to a horde after just leaving the first house in this mode is disgusting

Your voice is so soothing and relaxing, and combined with your amazing choice of words and melancholic music it makes for something really special… Thanks AA.

[@ithacathemageofhouseadenti7016]

Hey AA, love your videos! FYI in PZ you can use a branch with a notched fire board to start fires and you can use hand trowels to remove rows in the dirt. This lets you use the same area for farming worms instead of digging up large areas if you don’t want to.

[@sydroper4761]

Loved this format! More please

These are my favorite videos, please keep them coming!!

[@kryptikgaming3684]

As the man who really got me into Zomboid, it gives me great pleasure to see you undertake a new spiritual journey. Hopefully you can sanctify the home of your ancestor, and cleanse McCoy's for the loot within. Careful though, it's crazy over there, lost a run trying to do the same :D

[@Tech-Adept6106]

I really enjoy your content, Zomboid is one of my favorite you do.

[@abdallahamza1280]

I feel like your format with the Gerald Williams series was prime entertainment , you transformed the game of project zomboid into the story of Gerald Williams by narrating the events of his life as compared to the gains of your character. And that to me is the most amazing thing about your zomboid series’. I’d love if you can continue the older theme as compared to your fast pace, more objective oriented gameplay . Cheers

[@eternalrogue832]

Are you going to put the full play through up on the VOD channel? hope hope hope I just recently came across your content and I have binge watched all of the PZ content there and now I am here watching all of this. I have really enjoyed both and enjoy your commentary.

[@pawilon6395]

Your videos they doesn't feel like gameplay anymore, and I think You are aware of that. You are so good at story telling and narration that I can't believe you stick "just" to youtube videos. You are really great and I can't wait for your next upload.

[@theelltrain8985]

I really missed your project zomboid videos, I’m glad that they’re back.

[@dott0_]

This reminds me so much of zero to hero series. I remember watching those videos all excited, wondering what kind of tricks will you think of in these impossible circumstances. Now I graduated and I’m loosing my mind working and trying to keep up with medschool. Those were good times now that I think about it. At least these videos are still insanely entertaining to watch though

[@reginaldsafety6090]

PZ is by far my favorite content on the channel. Miss the long-form videos and unedited VODs that I can leave running in the background while I clean the house but this is a nice format too.

[@SilentPity]

I enjoyed this format! 😃

[@probablynotdanny4384]

This is great! I always wished you'd do longer videos! And Zomboid is my favorite game you play!

[@robezharvey8475]

I absolutely love these videos. Do you have a Patreon with long form content? I would love to pay to watch something like that from you.

[@greengrain64]

Please for the love of god release merch that simply says "worm man" i would wear tf outta that. Also as a side note, my husband and I discovered you through your project zomboid videos a while ago now. However only recently did we pick it up and start playing it together. It's crazy to have once watched you play this game thinking it was an absurdly complicated and needlessly realistic game that I could probably never last a day in, and now a hundred or so hours later, I can say that I would probably last at least... idk 20 days? haha. Thanks for the vids, worm man

[@graemelennie]

Your best content is PZ without a doubt. I've never even played the game yet I wait for these videos. My one piece of feedback would be that I feel like longer slower paced videos where you spend more time world building would bring these types of series to a next level. I'd love to see a 0-100 day video that is over an hour long. Your commentary is amazing and makes these videos, but a bit of space between dialogue to watch events happen wouldnt hurt imho. Either way keep it up AA, you're the man.

[@Linda_Potato]

"I removed the glass shards from my crotch" is one of the most disturbing statements I've yet heard. Bravo.

[@joshuaanthony5097]

definitely prefer the long form. drawn together, all of your series will create the ulysses of youtube. there will be scholarly articles, podcasts, and coffee shop talk dissecting the relations between characters. it will take 100 years to understand the intricacies of the colliding worlds. college students in 2098 will be looking up spark notes of torsolo and 100 pawn rimworld. professors will stare down from their podiums with disgust as the pupils complain about video length. he will have loathing in his eye but also a fear-a fear of irrelevance. he’ll return to his office and complain to colleagues about the work ethic of this modern generation. he’ll be taken home in a self driving car, walk through his door, dust off an old dell laptop. he’ll fold it open carefully, like an old book. it takes a few minutes to boot up, but as soon as it does he floats the cursor over a file titled “sims 1, 1 tile” and he is elated. he is satiated. he has not forgotten how to feel.

[@pourym2463]
