Saw that. I'm almost tempted to fire this up again. There's nothing like a good team taking on a zombie horde.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I never got around to trying this one out.  I think I may try it.  Hope the download doesn't take too long.

Yes, well you see there was this reason and I am sure it was a good one but I can't remember it now. :)


I started downloading it and its going to take forever, especially considering now is peak usage time for the internet lines around here so I'll let it run over night and hopefully get to play it tomorrow night or Sat after work.

It says"$4.99" until 10/29. Eh? Great price but even by the most twisted corporate-advert-spinning definition not exactly 'free'. Also, are enough people still playing this game to make it worth while? Any Grogs playing this MP here?

I think you can download and play for free this weekend.  Then if you want to keep playing after the weekend you have to purchase it.

That's correct TCT.  You get to play for free but get the discounted price if you choose to buy it before the free weekend is over.

Buy. It.

Or you're wrong.

Can I buy it and still be wrong? In general, I mean.

If we buy it does that entitle us to a mutliplayer with LB the GrogHeads Godfather?  ;D

I am hardly the godfather of this place.

But if you buy it and ping me, I'll do my best to game with you. Remember - groups are only four, so it's not like the whole thread will be able to get a piece of me.

Speaking of Online Zombie games, have any of you spent any meaningful time with DayZ? I've tried to play but I'm always getting kicked off any server I try with some kind of code mismatch. I've gotten no more than perhaps 2-3 minutes in before it happens. Is it worth banging my head against the wall to try and figure out or just a Flash in the Pan?

Yes I have and its fun if you have alot of patience and expect to die, alot.  I am looking forward to it becoming a stand alone game.
