S'pretty neat, though I managed to lose 90% of my health and crash the game shortly thereafter within about 10-15 min of play :P

Might want to be careful with the vac while close to the extreme right of the map.

spill a lot of petrol at a petrol station, then throw a Molotov at it set the puddle on fire with a lighter. I dare you.

Better.

I have to attack a beehive?!  Oh God, I'm going to die aren't I.  My arms are already broken due to mushrooms and it's 1 in the morning.  I'm at Strength 0 and speed 19...

For future reference, if you really don't want to try dealing with the massive swarms of bees in th'depths of a hive, you can make royal jelly out of honeycombs and, I think, bleach. They're craftable, in any case. So you can nab some honey and book before the whole hive comes down on you.

That character's definitely going to die, though :P

Hmm... Sounds an awful lot like Attack of the Paper Zombies...

*Googleing*

Huh, looks like it's the same guys turning it into a more visually attractive game?

No need for the question mark, that's exactly what it is. Looks like some new weapons for the squaddies and new mutations and such, but the trailer definitely makes it look like basically AotPZ 2. Not necessarily a bad thing :P

Also, what's the best build for someone who wants to try and do nothing but hunt in the forest and survive without scavenging?

Maybe th'gourmand thing, but the integrated toolset (for hotplate-less cooking) and water-making bionics would be your major go-to items. That and decent butchery and you'd probably be able to self-sustain off rabbits and wolves and whatever.

Biggest issue with being outside all the time is probably rain. Being wet can add up to some pretty horrendous morale penalties. You might be able to counter that somewhat by keep a varied diet of morale-boosting foods around (strawberries, apples, honey comb, etc.). Second biggest issue would probably be storage, especially if you're trying to do a complete no-looting run. I think you'd have to get at least a few volume-boosting things before you hit the woods, just to be able to hold enough things to craft necessities things with.

Well. The run will end the first day you get an outright acid rain, though. That melts limbs.

Totally need aquaphobic/aquaphillic defect/perk. Especially the latter one :-\ Rain is deadly.

I don't exactly know th'Noh play style well (or much at all), but I do vaguely recall a lot of them "end in hilarity" of varying sorts. So things going south in rapid order might be true to the inspiration :P

Now if only they'd make a roguelike out of it, heh. A pox on your storytelling, give me alphabet genocide!

Is called memory editor and local build :P At least for code-ignorant windows users, eh. Starting out with 20 in all stats, 4-6 in all skills, and three good perks (Take quick, at the least!), is rather helpful. So is an infinite XP pool.

My best legit attempts have so far done their best to focus on melee, taking HP ignorant and the two drug-related defects for extra points. They usually manage to kill 20-30 zombies and zombie variants before dying horrible deaths :-\

Combo of quick and fleet footed my help if you just want to explore. You can outrun most things with that.

Chunk a molotov at it? I haven't figured out how to set things on fire with lighters yet, though that'd hopefully work -- I haven't been suicidal enough to try setting a puddle of gas besides a gas station on fire while standing beside it. Yet. Could try shooting the puddle, I guess.

Wait for a lightning strike :P

Wait is this like D&D or a videogame?

Tenra Bansho Zero (TBZ) is a story-telling game that you play in the real world with your friends, usually around a table. In Japan, these kinds of games are called "Table-Talk Role Playing Games", or "TRPGs".

First two lines of the about page on the site linked :-\

Piano! Iz can get mah ragtime on!

Total bonus points if one of those tophat zombies occasionally spawn playin' yer piano. It'd hammer out tunes until you hit it with something. Shame it's not a proper grand piano, though.

Metroid style, baby. Loot: The Chests Strike Back. Mimics, assault doors, etc. Stick a violent skeletron arm onto your front door. Chain harpies to your windows. Everything can be improved with VIOLENCE!

Seriously, though, attack chests. Terraria needs them. Try to open one without the key and they try to bite off your arm. Basically disarm-able mini-bosses.

Oh god. Bees.

I got my revenge, though. Cybermutant carried sledgehammer > bees.

So, uh. How does one go about fixing broken arms?

Acid rain breaks arms, by th'by, apparently. Or something. It tells me they're broken and in need of surgery, but I'm kinda' curious what kind of Black Jack level surgery is going to fix arms that've had their flesh melted off. It'd be really awesome if you could hide beside 7 trees when it's pouring and kinda' not get melted on. At least until the tree melts. That'd be neat.

Still able to swing my sledge hammer around, though, and punch people to death, and knock down doors, etc, etc. Arms broken, straight down to 0 on 'em both, still going strong :P

E: Fire gauntlets total rip. Was expecting flaming fists of doom. Got firefighter gloves :-\

E2: Nevermind. Apparently the answer is "Sleep." Poor master surgeons. Out done by 7 hours of shuteye.

I had that option... but then I remembered that alcohol = molotovs. Why would I want to eat my explosive source?
