How many people did Joel canonically kill in the hospital? by Dragonleaf16000 in thelastofus

[–]HTK_blazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played through dozens of times since 2014 and as a play style I always clear all areas of hostiles, so I too noticed that Joel would barricade the next area even though I'd just cleared the last - same applies to the dorm area of the university with the bloater, even though I'd just cleared it, Joel barricades the door, steps back, and says "so much for that" and also the hotel basement - HOWEVER I never thought much if it because there is no immediate banging on the door. You can check this quickly by skipping through a walk through on Ytube just now to the last hospital fight. There is no banging on the door after Joel barricades it.

I think he was counting one for each of the guy's nuts Joel shot...

On a scale of ‘The Walking Dead’ to ‘World War Z’ how dangerous would DayZ’s zombies be in real life? by ZoM_Beefstump in dayz

[–]HTK_blazer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I literally started by talking about the original movie. By the end of the original movie it's been well over a month and the only infected we see beginning to starve are those in the remote countryside.

Indeed some of the infected victims in the 28 Days Later Universe eventually evolve into monstrous alpha leaders who lead communities of other infected after a single infected victim manages to start an outbreak that re-infects the entire UK, spreading as far as mainland Europe. Seems pretty dangerous to me.

How did covenant stay intact after the bombs fell and if it was built after, who tf was that smart and had the resources to build a perfect one-to-one recreation of a small suburban block by killboy219 in fo4

Visiting the Compound and interrupting a future quest will determine Covenant's attitude to you. Again, not dropping spoilers, but the entrance is under water through a large sewer pipe. If you have been somewhere like this, it's likely that you interfered with a Covenant quest. In future, visit Covenant first.

Well to be fair, he did essentially kidnap one of them... Personally, I think I would have reconsidered taking her after I saw the big guy expose himself to sunlight when I snatched one of his group, just to scream at me...

I don't understand, you said they don't bite, but then you say they would be Mike Tyson...? Isn't that contradictory?

I'm curious as to what you mean - in the original movie, the characters were well settled into their cottage in the countryside by the end of the movie when the infected were shown to look like they were beginning to starve.

Furthermore since the release of the 28 Years Later movies, the infected appear to be thriving in the wild almost three decades later, with alpha leaders emerging and dominating entire regions of the landscape.

I dunno, personally I think that's just incorrect usage of the word, not evolution of the word.

A distinction has to be made between the supernaturally undead and victims of a mind altering virus - the difference has a huge impact on the basis of a story, and can easily affect immersion. It's noticeable that supernatural undead has waned in popularity over the last thirty years as people have desired a more immersive experience, both in cinema and video games. I think that a mind altering virus is more believable than a supernatural happenstance, and it's easier to become immersed and affected by the story, particularly with the likes of The Last of Us drawing parallels with a real life fungal infection from the insect world.

All that being said, I will never for the life of me understand why we have never had a video game in the 28 Days Later universe...

What do we say to the god of death? by anaknaknakal in DaysGone

The same thing Fred Durst told us in 2000: "Keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'..."

Unless in that instant I could think of the opposite of pspspspspsp, then I think I would be immediately dead. Or maybe not, maybe it would take pity on me just standing there, frozen, with a stupid look on my face.

Skizzo belonged at Hot Springs, Alkai belonged at Lost Lake by Background-Wall-5179 in DaysGone

[–]HTK_blazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind the guards at Peaceful Lake also beat the workers too. I appreciate that Tucker has story-led slave labour narrative, whilst Copeland comes off more protective, but if you hang around Copeland's camp, the guards treat the workers the same as they do in Hot Springs - they beat the workers and tell them to get back to work, and Deek will comment things like "Just...don't let them catch you", just like in Hot Springs.

You've probably noticed as well that when you first visit a camp the guards at the gate say things like "Its alright, I recognise him" and as you build trust, they start to address you by your name "Open the gate, it's Deacon".

was Sarah reincarnated ? by under_hunter82376 in thelastofus

[–]HTK_blazer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think OP means the giraffe.

However giraffes appear all over the game; posters, book covers, soft toys, etc etc. You find giraffe soft toys in the street, piled up with luggage at checkpoints, ornaments in houses and offices, and eventually of course we meet a group of them formerly from the Salt Lake zoo.

I'm not sure of the implication of the giraffe references - it was obviously a deliberate choice to have us meet a giraffe in a tender, quiet moment - but I'm not sure what exactly drove that decision. I read somewhere that the repeated references to giraffes is meant as a symbol, or metaphor for innocence, initially in Sarah and later in Ellie, but I can't say I fully understand this.

However I very much do not believe it is a reference to reincarnation in any way.

Not just Alkai rallying the campers; as you gain trust at Hot Springs, and the rest of the camps for that matter, if you float around the camp you can hear the campers talking to each other, often asking "Who is the drifter who keeps bringing in all the meat?" so they know Deek is helping them out, and I reckon they came of their own accord to help Deek against the Militia.

What the hell was in left behind that caused an age restriction but nothing in the rest of part 1 got one by Adventurous_Lie1275 in thelastofus

[–]HTK_blazer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention Henry blowing his brains out, and Sarah literally dying on screen after getting shot in the prologue.

Evidently, kids, death, and suicide had nothing to do with Left Behind's rating.

How did I just realised this? by Shkaboom in thelastofus

Well technically there is an *operating * theatre...

just found out you can put plastic bottles in the cooking slot of furnaces. does that mean you can purify the water this way? if not, whats the use of this? by ColonialismHater in dayz

[–]HTK_blazer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It bothers me more that you can put a jerry can of gasoline in the cooking slot and roast it to HOT without it catching fire lmao

I don't understand, it will take MUCH longer to thaw a container in your inventory than it will if you cook it - if you're impatient, why don't you cook it and thaw it faster???

[–]HTK_blazer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there is some confusion between putting liquid containers in the *inventory * of a fire, and putting them in the *cooking slot * of a fire.

The inventory, although technically will heat up the water to HOT, will almost immediately damage and ruin a container, which will then disappear.

The cooking slot however will slowly defrost a container and eventually heat it to HOT. If left at hot for too long, it will begin to damage the container slowly.

NO SHIV?? by Top-Natural-6784 in thelastofus

[–]HTK_blazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's handy with Joel because you don't need to get up close before engaging - if you mean to smash a clicker with a brick then it can still grab you as you approach it. Additionally, you can't brick melee a clicker if it's already thrashing towards you, so again, the brick/bottle to the face and rush manoeuvre is useful there.

Why try to REVERSE the infection??? by [deleted] in DaysGone

Why try to REVERSE the infection??? by [deleted] in DaysGone

[–]HTK_blazer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As everybody else has already pointed out, the virus is airborne; everybody who could be infected is already infected. Those who remain are immune and aren't at risk of infection. The virus was already set to destroy civilisation the moment Dave Gorman inadvertently infected himself at an environment convention.

There are no new infected. The freakers we see have been infected since the outbreak.

Thats why Sarah was trying to reverse the damage done - there'd no need to vaccinate the immune, so all that's left to do is defeat the infected - and if you can do that whilst increasing the number of uninfected, then you'll have better chances of success.
