We're trying something a bit different.  This week's comic is part of our "This Stupid Couple" series.  Basically, it's our chance to make fun of how Megan and I act together.  We're also doing these while we set up for the comic series idea that started TaffyGunn.  It's exciting, but Megan and I are taking our time studying to make it as awesome as it can possibly be.

Lately, a good friend of mine and I have gotten bit by the Day Z bug.  It's the best zombie game I have ever played by far.  It's really about survival and the zombies are the active thing that doesn't want you as the player to survive.  So if they hit you, you bleed; if you don't bandage yourself you might bleed to death.  If you run too much, you get hungry and thirsty; if you don't eat and drink, you die of slow blood loss.  The closer you get to death, the harder it is to see. If you die you're dead, no respawn with minor exp. loss, armor damage and money loss, no, you're dead.  As in start over.  This might sound pretty horrible, but it really makes dying scary, as you can imagine, and thus the survival part completely worth-while.

It's really is the best co-op experience I've had since running around in Halo 1 punching Grunts in the back of their heads with my friend Randy about 10 years ago.  But this game... this game is something else.  Crawling through Electro while talking to my friend on Skype about where to meet up and hearing him go from telling me how things are good to the next second about how he's got a broken leg, losing blood, hiding on top of a roof with a tonne of zombies waiting to eat his body and a human sniper taking pot shots is really a whole new kind of experience in zombie survival.

If you have the time and money to buy Arma 2: Combined Operations, I would recommend this game more than any game since Halo 1 on the Xbox.
