After being knocked unconscious with a fire axe last night I started playing again this evening and woke up dead. Started at the beach.
Managed to scramble my way through the wilderness to Electrogorsk where I raided a firestation and a supermarket for food, water and fire extinguishers. Also now fulled decked out in black combat gear and a motorcycle helmet which looks pretty sweet. Pity my character is currently brandishing a fire extinguisher as his primary weapon...

Well then, get this. Played with Archie last night. He managed to glitch onto a roof, then broke both his legs getting down. We searched for a hospital when I headed into a building and got brained by a player, leaving me unconcious.
Archie meanwhile, found a hospital, crawled into a doctors office and gulped down a refreshing bottle of disinfectant. He was free of infection, but got pretty sick pretty fast and was almost blind by the end, puking every few minutes and unable to keep any food he found down.

@Dimbark, watch videos. Zombies are massively improved. They can clip through most things at the moment, but their pathfinding is so much better. Also, I'm a sucker for customisation and although it's currently limited to skin colour, shirt colour and shoes at the start, you can wear whatever you find when playing. Earlier I was running around with sunglasses under one of the PAYDAY masks under an army helmet. Then a zombie smashed them all off my face.
@Tetsu0, it is a bit good. Second session was on a different server but you rejoin in the place where you logged out regardless. I was going through cars, searching for stuff on the seats when I realised a player was going through my backpack. Span around and cocked my rifle, but he was unarmed and did a runner. Would have shot him if I wasn't bluffing with the gun. Bloody thing was empty.

I say more fool MS for not selling older OS versions for a reduced price under difference T&Cs. Just gonna make people go all peg-legs and eye-patches on their shit.
Got me a Windows 7 disc though so I'm just going to hold onto that forever.

I don't know about performance benefits or anything like that, but I intend to completely avoid Windows 8 because I hate the chunky touch UI. Keep that ugly shit on phones and tablets. I have a mouse.
Sure you can switch to the standard desktop but... you know. I don't need to do that on Windows 7.
Also, in terms of user friendliness, the first review I saw called it the first user-hostile OS. Yeah, fuck Windows Hate.

Not sure of the full details since I just followed the advise I found online, but it basically came down to removing the line LanmanWorkstation and adding LanmanServer. It's way beyond my understanding but it worked so I'm happy.
The reason I got irritated is because this issue seems to date back to much older versions of Windows and it's still causing problems. MS need to sort their shit.

I backup anything I work on via SVN now. Assembla offer free hosting for files up to 500mb, then they charge through the nose. Otherwise, if you don't mind paying for it, use repositoryhosting.com. I pay £3.50 a month for 2gb with them.

Fish that mofo ate, octopus tentacles, was nice, yet everyone lost their appetite. They contemplated removing their eyes and whispered "Hallelujah". However, Death often

Heh, I don't constantly harp on about The Core.
Unfortunately, it's considered a working day and you have to book it off if you don't want to come in. However, It seems equally pointless to waste my holiday allowance on 3 dreary quiet days in December when I could use them later in the year during Britain's week of sunshine.
Merry Christmas Andy.

Otherwise I'll go Linux.

@StojkeK I never said I paid for it. I just think it's ridiculous that they charge so much. My copy of Win7 Pro came pre-installed on my gaming rig.
Anywho, fixed it. The LanmanServer service wasn't starting properly and was holding all the other services up behind it. RedEdited that mother fucker.
I used to love Battlezone 1 on the PC.
Of course then it wasn't really large scale, but todays technology could easily handle it.
@CStriker: I do not.
"You've spent money you don't have! As a punishment, we're going to charge you more money."
That sucks though Rim.
@The_(c)Striker: I have no idea where any of those images are from...
I'm sat in my coat
I'm thinking of warm sands,
blue seas and a boat
I'll make do with coffee
my mug is bright orange
It helps me to feel
...ah bollocks
for this holiday rhyme
I'd write one myself
but I don't have the time.
May your days ahead be
filled with Christmas cheer
and let's not forget
The Core's out next year.
Anyway, I've found something to work on now so the time is moving a little quicker.
16:40 - Sooo fucking bored. 20 minutes to go and each one feels like an hour...

Also, check out The Core.
Can't get hold of any clients though.
