You missed the boat, I stopped playing about a month ago.

Kind of ran out of things to do and from what I understand the hacking problems are really bad at the moment so I think I quit at the right time.

check out some of my dayz vids on youtube ;D  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxZT3uL4g1I  all under the TW DayZ heading

I mix DnB, have done for 13 years. Even though there is alot of comercial BS in it now there are still some producers throwing out some great tunes.
Still can't beat some of the oldest and greatest from decades ago imo...

 Goldie temper temper (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIcMolthnX0)

 Zinc Casino Royale (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqHkb0bLu9s)

 BC planet dust  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0y9RbQYP3s)

i respectfully submit that none of the tracks i posted are particularly new :old:

They are all roughly of the same era as Casino Royale (now that one brings back some memories) or older

Bat do you attend / mix at any of the dnb nights around the shire?

you're right, I first posted the bukem and goldie stuff then added the more recent bottom two as an edit. I only meant to distinguish between the jungle/oldschool style and the newer (well, late 90s) jump up. I have not been raving for probably 5 years at least, the last time I went I ended up in uxbridge (a placew i certainly do not live) with no money and nothing but a bottle of lemon fanta after attending the Fridge and then the after party at the Office. At least I made it out of brixton. I never persued it as a career I loved mixing too much to make it my job. I played alt of back alley house parties from 2000-2005 and the odd cash function. If you want a me to spin at a party now  I definitely still got it even if my tunes are a bit outdated :D

Yeah man, I'm with you completely on that. Did you ever rave in London? My best childhood memories of music came from Fabric Live during the True Playaz era. They kind of sold out in the end but they were amazing back then, although it could have had something to do with the beans. Sorry Micky, total hijack here

hype (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tivjbQEJuzc)


Never forget this one time when we crawled out of fabric at 06.00 and into this little corner cafe run by 3 Brazillian women, just for us it seemed. Some little scally tried to nick a bag of cheese and onion crisps and as he bolted out the door this little short white guy with a record box came through and stopped him, made him give the crisps back and then sat calmly drinking his tea while the kid was shouting through the window that he would come back and stab him etc etc.. That was the closest I ever got to metting Zinc, what a legend!

PC only. It's a hardcore sim, too many buttons to fit on a console.

thats what i thought.  I tend to buy big games like this on console since my pc has so much trouble running them.

Dayz is just fantastic, only problem now is the cheaters are most annoying.

Apparently private hive servers are the way to go now to avoid hacking script kiddies

My buddies that i used to play with are raving about a server called 'Born to Lose', i might give it a try with them if i have time

Too much traveling involved and it takes too much time to get anywhere. Unless you have a helicopter but that's very rare and if you play by yourself, chances are, you'll be bored to death. You more or less need a buddy or a squad to play it with. I played for 2 weeks straight but after you completed everything (get every top gear there is) it gets rather stale and all that's left is to hunt other players. Which is even more time consuming.

It's a great game, I was addicted to it for a while, but it just takes way too much time to do anything. Fun if you got 5-6 hours of free time. You can't really do anything in an hour in DayZ. I probably won't be able to play it for a while due to a job and classes starting again.

I saw the news about the possibility of this being developed as a stand alone game.  I think it has real potential, and the possibilities are endless as far as the things they could do. 
Title: Re: DayZ
Post by: Zodiac on September 08, 2012, 03:07:59 PM
Yes it is being developed as a stand alone, and the creator has said that he wants to develop the stand alone along side the mod. Which would keep the mod up and running after the release of the stand alone and allow the mod to be a 'test bed' for creative modding that could well be incorporated into version updates of the stand alone, while allowing them to lock down the stand alone and make the hacking a thing of the past. So you would really get the best of both worlds, the stand alone would be playable without having to deal with all the hacking while allowing the mod version to still be used for creation of new designs and further modding which could then be added to the stand alone by the creators with version updates.
