    Well that’s a pretty damn good question! Another reminder that Chuck isn’t stupid.

    Corpo sponsored snuff films … no surprise there. I wonder what voice over model they use – dispassionate wildlife commentator or enthusiastic conservationist. Or maybe Nascar ?

538 – Astute Paranoia
Posted on December 11, 2024 by Dawn

Oscar was probably hoping Chuck would talk him down from his suspicions, not escalate them.

We're close to the end of this episode/issue, just a matter of figuring whether the final page will be next Wednesday the 18th or we'll put it up for Xmas. We'll try to drop a notice here and on Facebook once we figure that out, but we definitely want to post it before the New Year.

7 Days, 28 Days Later…

Posted on July 15, 2020 by Clint
In my review of 7 Days to Die last week I talked about how the name of the game largely comes from the mechanic that, by default, the game is set so that every seven days of in-game time a “blood moon” event occurs, where as the sun goes down in a blood-red sky, hordes of frenzied zombies will stop their random shambling and instead make a full assault your safe house as you and your friends try desperately to hold them off. If you manage that, you have another seven days to repair, scavenge, explore and prep before they’ll be back again, even stronger than before. They might even bring along some new friends to mess with your battle plan. You’ll also keep respawning on death so long as your bedroll remains intact… but you may wish you didn’t. Given the swiftness of zombies on blood moon night, it seemed appropriate for Dawn to capture and edit a video of our experiences of the fourth assault, i.e. “28 days later.” Massive spoilers of course, but now I know all-too-well what the commenter last week meant about finding a second base to avoid damage to the main one. Yikes. A few caveats — we have some mods and adjustments in place for our server (like we don’t drop items on death, which would have led to a lot of bare-handed punching). The game is still in early access so there are some notable glitches, like Anthony ending up stuck floating his way through most of the video. Also this is VERY DEFINITELY NSFW or for any other environment sensitive to colorful language. Let’s just say panic mode doesn’t lend itself well to bowdlerized utterances like “shucks” and “dang.” Also also: Dawn + shotgun + panic = teamkill shenanigans.
