    JH> That's actually pretty funny.  The only bears I've seen are either

    RS>> I've started playing Breathedge.  It's an interesting game.  Have you

    JH> I have not. I briefly looked it up but was convinced to start playing   
    JH> DayZ by/with some gaming friends I'd been playing Sniper Elite 4 with.    
    JH> In my opinion, survival in DayZ makes survival in The Long Dark look   
    JH> pretty easy.   
      
   I listen to Jason Scott's podcast and I'm pretty sure he has talked about DayZ   
   on that.  It sounds pretty intense.  I haven't done any multiplayer online   
   gaming in years.  He mentioned that it could be fairly buggy.  Is it still   
   under development?   
      
   It's good to have a group of people you know to game with, there can be so much   
    hostility out there if you just have to wander into a random server or game   
   that it takes all the fun out of it.   
      
   I was always interested in more multiplayer co-op, but there just isn't much of   
    that out there.  I guess it's difficult to find a way to put something like   
   that together that would draw a big enough player base to make it worthwhile.   
      
   I remember Leo Laporte talking about Minecraft once and him saying how unreal   
   it would have sounded if Notch had gone to EA to try to pitch the game.  "It's   
   going to be all pixelated and it's going to sell a million copies."  You just   
   hear the EA rep yelling "SECURITY!!!"
