   Apologies for the late reply, it looks like I replied and then forgot to upload   
   the REP packet in a timely fashion.    
      
   I was slightly disappinted with the update, but probably only because the   
   features added had no benefit for me.  I've been playing long enough, that most   
   of the long standing maps I know a lot of the landmarks already, and I've used   
   sticks, stones, cattail heads, and tinder plugs to mark things on the gound.  I   
   realize the new update lets me note those new marker locations of spray paint   
   and rock piles. eh. At this point I am guessing some of those new features   
   might be playing a part in the new chapter, but I guess we have to wait and   
   ee.

   That's actually pretty funny.  The only bears I've seen are either walking   
   around, chasing /attacking you, or dead.  I suppose a dead bear sort of looks   
   like it might be sleeping, but it's going to disappear in a few days anyway.   
      
    RS> I've started playing Breathedge.  It's an interesting game.  Have you

   I have not. I briefly looked it up but was convinced to start playing DayZ   
   by/with some gaming friends I'd been playing Sniper Elite 4 with.  In my   
   opinion, survival in DayZ makes survival in The Long Dark look pretty easy.
