  My favorite game at the moment is a mod for Arma2 called DayZ. It is a persistent-world FPS game with permadeath. It's based on a military simulator, so it's very brutal and unforgiving.

  It's the most aggravating, unforgiving and buggy game that I've ever played. It's also a hell of a lot of fun.
  
  You can see a fan-made trailer here:

  Installation instructions are here:

  If any SunLit people give it a try, make sure and hit me up on Steam Friends. I'd love to team up with you.

  Need to see my buddy John in game....There be Zombers!!!
  
  I second the above. even scarier now that you spawn with no weaponry to speak of. They added the ability of the axe to me used in melee. I think you can do so with the crowbar as well. Good fun.

  I've been having a lot of fun with it, Krust.
  
  I have joined a clan so that I have some people to cooperate with that won't shoot me for my can of beans.
  
  They are at www.wardrivers.net, and they run the US 85 server.

  Hey John your installation instructions link is broken. I'm assuming you have to have Arma2 to play?

  You do have to have Arma2 Combined Operations. I think it cost me about $30.
  
  Here is a link to a whole bunch of useful forum threads at the DayZ site:

  Hope you come join me :)
  
  Right now, I have found a boat, but can't figure out how to put gas in it.

  OK, nevermind that link. All the links on that page are broken.
  
  They just switched to a new forum system. Almost all of the posts are there, but the links from the old system don't work. I'll see if I can find you a good tutorial tomorrow.

  Finally got it loaded only to have it crash my video card. I'm going to have to play with the settings. I'm in Vegas until Friday, maybe we can get together over the weekend and team up.
