Hello all you zombie hunters out there Doubtless my intermittent fits and starts of gameplay over the past year have confused you, sadly, the pressures of real life are enough to bear any gamer down...however, throughout, I have kept my solemn oath never to actually quit playing this game until every zombie lies dead in the streets of malton. Recently, I scored some plumb teaching jobs in the far east, I don't yet know if this will make the artificial world more or less accessible than it was in the twilight years of my college education, but I will endeavor to play this game as much as possible. In other news...a wonderful thought occurred to me last night, which might add a new level of fun to this game (though, alas, it would force many among us to be a tad more social) The technological miracle that is Skype allows for real time voice communication, rather like a chat service...it may be the long-awaited media channel which will finally allow survivors to get organized (though I quite like the disarray). Also: if you're fortunate enough to possess one of those awsome headsets, you have the added fun of blasting zombies with something somewhat close to tac-com gear...radio talk will be encouraged if not required

Good thinking, Padre. Have you looked into other voip as well? Ventrilo and similar services are extremely popular in MMOs like WoW and EQ.

I'm a big fan of Vent, though when I used to use it Mac/PC versions were not compatible. Do you know if that has been fixed yet?

My mic met an unfortuante end involving an espresso and hands with oil on them. I will get myself a new one if we start with skype though

Plus, you know, I have a headset. HA HA!

Can you have conference type conversations in Skype? If not, it's probably not as useful as I thought. At least not fer UD.
