Me & my Brother had one of my favourite memories in gaming playing Project Zomboid. We toiled for days, walling off a base, clearing and burning the bodies, then spent ages on the farming... all we had were cabbage seeds, so we grew a ton of cabbages. We barely survived till harvest time - and finally did it - we harvested our first crop of cabbages... we had found tons of flour, and a lot of yeast - we could bake bread! This was it! We had secured a food source and thought we might make it through the winter. We made cabbage sandwiches - patted ourselves on the back for "a job well done" - and took a bite.... then immediately both of our characters got the "depressed" moodlet. Turns out we hated cabbage sandwiches.
@@AnaseSkyrider yep, and fishing with a rod would be the opposite. Depending on your gear and skill, you get a lowered chance to catch a fish based on species and size, as large fish will break your line and some species are better at escaping.
@@ancapftw9113 not to mention tackle and line quality, type, whether there's a sinker or float, which k8nd of sinkers or floats, type of rod, rod size etc etc Video games making fishing eeeaaasssy, but it wouldn't be fun if you were fishing for 8 IRL hours with only bites.
Worth mentioning is that while Thoreau lived in the woods to enjoy and experience nature, he lived within easy walking distance of Concord, MA, often going to town to visit those he knew, as well as entertaining guests - simple and deliberate living, rather than isolation. Yet in making this series, AA truly is living as Thoreau did - connecting with nature, but maintaining the connection with the community that he calls home, and in turn, the people who call him "friend."
That'd be an interesting thing to model in a game, where low-skill characters can only rarely catch the largest fish, but high-skill characters can catch the largest fish plus frequently catch smaller ones.
I never really got into building entire buildings either but you can do some really cool stuff with paint and furniture you find out in the world. personally I never got past the wooden shack stage when building something from scratch but I saw some really cool builds online...
Gerald Williams is how I survived rocking my baby at night many months ago. I may never play Zomboid, but it certainly has a special place in my heart because of AA
Yeah, this is definitely a game better watched than played. The controls are incredibly clunky and the devs speak to players in the most toxic manner. Really, google EnigmaGrey, one of the developers, and judge his comments for yourself. I'd rather go without a game than give that sort of person any money. They see customers as marks.
@@anonymoususer4937 eh, I've been following the pz community for a while and the devs most certainly don't speak to players in a toxic manner from what I've noticed and, quite frankly, given how shitty and entitled people get with indie developers in general, I wouldn't blame them if they did (but I haven't really seen them doing that so :/). As a matter of fact, I did just google EnigmaGrey and judge his comments and they were completely reasonable and pretty funny from what I've seen. Controls are a personal preference, but they definitely haven't felt clunky to me at all.
@@anonymoususer4937 I think the controls (that are completely mappable) are quite intuitive once you get used to them.

Kinda relying on heavy narration for neoscav, it's pretty minimalist and the overall RNG is kinda limited. It would be like trying to narrate a point and click adventure/puzzle game.
the amount of diversity this game has is just amazing. All of these traits, items, skills, etc. You can do so much, so freely. It sounds like this isn't the popular way to play this game, but I can imagine the developer having it as a feature instead of "oh yea that mechanic is useful there"
Actually sort of make sense , to a point. A river is flowing water meaning that while it is not hyper safe to drink like purrified water, it still doesn't let bacteria grow and form biofilms and such. Once in a bottle, it becomes stagnant which means aml micro organism hae time to devellop and happilly multiply ina small co centration thus the micro organism concentration grows quickly. ... Of course the process should take hours if not days but y'know, video games
Heads-up: Pontoons are now needed for building on the water. Only thing to add in addition to the already needed wood and tools is tire tubes. This might be some mod addition instead but it showed up on a wiki as well.
7 Days to Die actually prevents "free floating" structures like this by having them fall apart when they get too lopsided. This can be an advantage if you deliberately set up said structures to collapse upon zombies when you need it.
I met Japanese and Indian dudes playing this. The Japanese didn't speak English, the Indian had a thick accent and nobody understood my aussie accent. We somehow managed to go a real long way. Great times... I still play with the Indian dude from time to time. The Japanese guy got married and doesn't have time to play games anymore
@@mirjanbouma The game is really detailed in many of its life simulations and such with fat and calorie requirements in game and zombie movements.

Stairway door, good idea. I remember trying this in older versions where the entire zombie population would just so happens to wonder into the forest looking for just you.
Your videos are refreshing. invigorating. They give me shelter from the storm of modern day toxicity and remind me of a simpler time in my fathers workshop listening to a kind voice explain things with a faint odor of a pipe in the air. Thank you for that. Ill be a fan forever.
Sure they have comforting voices, but there are other people with the exact voice qualities as AA, that have other bonuses to their voices, some say their voices are of the so called "be my daddy" kind, with voices so smooth and deep that if voices could impregnate their videos would be listed as R18. There's nothing better than smooth and deep voices. I still hear their voices in my head every day whether I want to or not, going Hey Hey People, Sseth here, or Salutations Exile...
You playing this game was probably more of a legit nature retreat than Thoreau in Walden tho. Let's be real, man had his mom bringing him food and laundry P.S. I love the gymnopedie in this
I would love to see a multi-player game. Where you follow players around have no idea what they are up to commenting and observing players in the game. Could be editing hell though, but could make for an insightful experience. I can only image the shenanigans they'll get up to.
The wilderness is my favourite location in Zomboid, I get far too paranoid scavenging in urban areas. Admittedly this means my winters generally revolve around fishing and eating stockpiled non-perishables but it certainly eases the stress.
Gonna be honest, I've never heard of you or this game, yet this popped up in my recommended. This game genuinely looks pretty fun and I really like how this video is formatted
The ability you have to just make people feel good with your commentary is truly outstanding. Then with other games its just entertaining in different ways, truly you are a master.
God, I love your Zomboid content. It always makes me want to come back to the game, and quite frankly knowing that there's mods available and proper multiplayer on the way only furthers that want.
respect to the soundtrack, your easy listening, organizational skills, and detailed bibliography of the reflections you chose to represent yourself through a piece of software that inspires.
I always look forward to your videos! Whether they are about "legitimate" organ donations in Rimworld or you running the most insane yet effective means of surviving the Zombie apocalypse. Keep up the good work, I know a lot of people also look forward to them! P.S please leave my organs alone.
I made a Motte and Bailey out of the entirety of the riverside self storage place. The two center units I connected by the roof with flooring, then built up from there. 4 stories on top of the units. Log walled outside of the metal fence and connected by flooring, then the fencing to act as parapets. It was most glorious. The only thing lacking is the ability to make torches. The main floor was a sort of great hall, a feast hall, a hearth hall. It was part of a small community challenge of a base build, I did not finish my build, just the exterior. Filling it out with rooms and then filling those rooms with decorations was more than I had patience for.
AA has given some real good to the world. Years later, I come back to these Zomboid videos the most. There’s a certain unknowable beauty to the quiet solitude of living off your own efforts alone.
I've really enjoyed your more overtly ironic performative monologues, but this more natural and sincere style feels very comfortable. I'm making a wild leap and assuming it means you're more comfortable, which makes me happy.
@@reeceshugrue6167 yes yes build 42 is the start of npc, they already have pretty much everything ready . :) maybe along the way they will introduce animals but it will be in a long time, probably build 45 or more.
This is what I love to see in games...emergent gameplay. Where you figure out a completely different way to play the game than the developers presumably intended.
The idea of an god going from person to person just observing, is such a potent thought. I didn't think I would find in a project zomboid video. Thanks AA Edit: correction
"Something that just makes games intrinsically fun and reminds me of the curiosity with which i explored them in youth" Me staring at that one flight of wooden stairs holding up an entire mansion:
Actually, I remember my high school English teacher told me Henry David Thoreau didn't actually spend all his time in the woods, he would regularly go into town to get drunk at the tavern, or have his mom do his laundry for him. I had also been romanticizing the wilderness a lot and that knowledge just sort of killed it.
loved hearing you talk about us Wilderness players on your former server. Was watching your more recent videos and was thinking back to my game time on there today. Great times. Had a lot of fun foraging and roughing it!
I like how this man talks about gaming like one speaks aboit art and other hobbies... Not just something kids do, or a given, but something that teaches creativity and so on...
ah yes, the ooga booga playstyle. Bushman Uga - strongest man that i will never forget "died because he tripped off of a roof when running out of his woods to scavenge for foods." the ballad of Flint Axe is all that is left
It feels like you changed up the narrations just a little, what ever it is, I REALLY like it, it's...really relaxing, and it feels smoother, consistant, not as many sudden cuts. it makes for a video that's really easy to enjoy and engross one's self in. I VERY much look forward to more episodes of this series.
Loving it mang. This week has been fucking fuckitty fick fuck for me mang. Got fired, had to put down 3 horses... I'm really glad you're uploading and flexing your creative editing skills. never forget that while you may think what you do is a hobby, or a career... for a lot of us fans, it really makes the difference. Don't let the world get to you mang. Thanks for being you, and sharing your virtual adventures with us mang *raises glass*.
@@ambiguousamphibian Thank you... it will get better Indeed. You;'ve got this too man! As Epictetus said: “Some things are within our power, while others are not. Within our power are opinion, motivation, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever is of our own doing; not within our power are our body, our property, reputation, office, and, in a word, whatever is not of our own doing.” we've GOT this.
So I’ve started to play multiplayer with a friend in a one on one server. And it become apparent how even a minute amount of more experience in the game can drastically increase your survival experience. So thank you for teaching me some of the little mechanics to help me survive all the much longer
Might return to it or something like it at some point - unfortunately it's a bit of a slideshow, but I think something of a similar scope and nature would be absolutely welcome :)
At times when I watch him at night his calming voice sometimes puts me to sleep, great voice if there were an audiobook from you I am sure it would sell well.
The way he talked I kept thinking he was about to pull a very straight faced dry joke, but it was just genuine David Attenborough mixed with soul searching. Very nice. I too like to find the meta, the micro habitat that game systems make by accident. Like fishing giving you clothes.
Was pretty engaging and entertaining until you're like, "So I spawned myself in a saw and some nails" randomly in the middle of the video LOL. Take a thumbs up for the first half anyway though!

Gonna be honest, I've never heard of you or this game, yet this popped up in my recommended. This game genuinely looks pretty fun and I really like how this video is formatted
Same for me, I got project Zomboid just because of this video and don't have a single regret.
The ability you have to just make people feel good with your commentary is truly outstanding. Then with other games its just entertaining in different ways, truly you are a master.
God, I love your Zomboid content. It always makes me want to come back to the game, and quite frankly knowing that there's mods available and proper multiplayer on the way only furthers that want.
respect to the soundtrack, your easy listening, organizational skills, and detailed bibliography of the reflections you chose to represent yourself through a piece of software that inspires.
I always look forward to your videos! Whether they are about "legitimate" organ donations in Rimworld or you running the most insane yet effective means of surviving the Zombie apocalypse. Keep up the good work, I know a lot of people also look forward to them!
P.S please leave my organs alone.
I made a Motte and Bailey out of the entirety of the riverside self storage place. The two center units I connected by the roof with flooring, then built up from there. 4 stories on top of the units. Log walled outside of the metal fence and connected by flooring, then the fencing to act as parapets. It was most glorious. The only thing lacking is the ability to make torches. The main floor was a sort of great hall, a feast hall, a hearth hall. It was part of a small community challenge of a base build, I did not finish my build, just the exterior. Filling it out with rooms and then filling those rooms with decorations was more than I had patience for.
It's really weird of how calm he is in the beginning of the video, and I actually like it. Very calm and chill, soothing too
AA has given some real good to the world. Years later, I come back to these Zomboid videos the most. There’s a certain unknowable beauty to the quiet solitude of living off your own efforts alone.
Hell yeah you can! I can’t wait, this is going to be so cool!
I've really enjoyed your more overtly ironic performative monologues, but this more natural and sincere style feels very comfortable. I'm making a wild leap and assuming it means you're more comfortable, which makes me happy.
By chance today I stumbled upon what is probably my new favorite RUclips channel. Super fun content commentary and a really nice personality!
Came for a forest survival disaster and left with a floating wooden fortress in a lake!
I'm surprised you didn't wait for Build 42 to do something like this. That's when animals NPCs are going to be added(bears, deer, rabbits, etc).
I'll be saving that for later ;)
When build 42 is released, AA will have 75M followers and will be far too big for yeoman tasks such as those, plebeian.
unfortunately plans have changed, build 42 will not have wilderness but player npc.
@@reeceshugrue6167 yes yes build 42 is the start of npc, they already have pretty much everything ready . :) maybe along the way they will introduce animals but it will be in a long time, probably build 45 or more.
This is what I love to see in games...emergent gameplay. Where you figure out a completely different way to play the game than the developers presumably intended.
The irony is that Thoreau was never actually self sufficient, his mom did all of his laundry.
He didn’t even make his own house, he bought all of the materials from a general store
He survived in nature without even making fire. This is madness!. Damn dude, that ending.
The idea of an god going from person to person just observing, is such a potent thought. I didn't think I would find in a project zomboid video. Thanks AA
Edit: correction
Ayyyyy
That isn't omnipotence if he has to go to one person at a time
@@typerez8132 ok and?
@@typerez8132 True
I love that Amphibian uses Erik Satie as background music.
"a fish so juicy sweeeeeeet~"
I'm going to do the now harder CDDA challenge this way.
I don’t watch half of your videos, I just listen. You have a wonderful voice and way of speaking. So soothing.
You invite the Spiffing Brit over to play. You made him cry and you are a mean man.
Spiffing Brit is fucking annoying.
when ever this guy talks i feel like his talking down to me smiling while he caress me
you forgot no homo
@@peterhoffmann2231no i didn't
Don't you hate it when you're trying to survive in a forest and accidentally build a floating wooden fortress? xD
i love your lil speeches
the contrast between silly amphibian and genuine insight + reflection is very good and strong
Yes was waiting for something like this in a long time.
Happy to see you do it
"Since we are nearing PZ's multiplayer..." That aged like milk.
I still remember waiting 7 years for NPCs. Nobody even mentions NPCs anymore.
@@digitalwayfarer7404 NPCs didn't really work in old PZ anyway. At least there's a mod for it.
I mean, sure aged like milk but now its butter am i right?
@@empdisaster10 😐
Aaah... survival sims. The Thinking Man's genre.
Thanks for another chill installment of one of my faves. :v
This channel is a gem I never knew existed
Wow, Project Zomboid is really picking itself back up. I remember when you swung spears like pool sticks.
At 28 I felt that statement about intrinsical exploration. Brought a tear to my eye thinking about Legend of Zelda on NES
Another soul sustaining dose of zen. Thank you.
"Something that just makes games intrinsically fun and reminds me of the curiosity with which i explored them in youth"
Me staring at that one flight of wooden stairs holding up an entire mansion:
Actually, I remember my high school English teacher told me Henry David Thoreau didn't actually spend all his time in the woods, he would regularly go into town to get drunk at the tavern, or have his mom do his laundry for him.
I had also been romanticizing the wilderness a lot and that knowledge just sort of killed it.
loved hearing you talk about us Wilderness players on your former server. Was watching your more recent videos and was thinking back to my game time on there today. Great times. Had a lot of fun foraging and roughing it!
we either start as gerald or become gerald, this one started as gerald.
I like how this man talks about gaming like one speaks aboit art and other hobbies... Not just something kids do, or a given, but something that teaches creativity and so on...
Can't wait for multiplayer to finally come back. Missed playing with my sister.
I love catching the AA Project: Zomboid videos. I cannot wait for it to inevitably turn philosophical.
ah yes, the ooga booga playstyle.
Bushman Uga - strongest man that i will never forget
"died because he tripped off of a roof when running out of his woods to scavenge for foods."
the ballad of Flint Axe is all that is left
It feels like you changed up the narrations just a little, what ever it is, I REALLY like it, it's...really relaxing, and it feels smoother, consistant, not as many sudden cuts. it makes for a video that's really easy to enjoy and engross one's self in. I VERY much look forward to more episodes of this series.
Loving it mang. This week has been fucking fuckitty fick fuck for me mang. Got fired, had to put down 3 horses... I'm really glad you're uploading and flexing your creative editing skills. never forget that while you may think what you do is a hobby, or a career... for a lot of us fans, it really makes the difference. Don't let the world get to you mang. Thanks for being you, and sharing your virtual adventures with us mang *raises glass*.
I got totally messed up this week, too, Jack. I feel your pain - my condolences, sir :) It will get better
@@ambiguousamphibian Thank you... it will get better Indeed. You;'ve got this too man! As Epictetus said: “Some things are within our power, while others are not. Within our power are opinion, motivation, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever is of our own doing; not within our power are our body, our property, reputation, office, and, in a word, whatever is not of our own doing.” we've GOT this.
So I’ve started to play multiplayer with a friend in a one on one server. And it become apparent how even a minute amount of more experience in the game can drastically increase your survival experience. So thank you for teaching me some of the little mechanics to help me survive all the much longer
Hey AA can you do another 1000 person colony vid? You can force a raid with the debug menu. I would love to see all of those dudes fight
Might return to it or something like it at some point - unfortunately it's a bit of a slideshow, but I think something of a similar scope and nature would be absolutely welcome :)
@@ambiguousamphibian Ok thanks love ur content btw
At times when I watch him at night his calming voice sometimes puts me to sleep, great voice if there were an audiobook from you I am sure it would sell well.
Hello? Your videos are so relaxing to watch. I'm not going anywhere with this. I just wanted to let you know I appreciate the effort you put in.
Every time you launch a new series i always feel like its the best damn series you've made so far, and this one is no exception
Ok, I am gone doing a forest build now, see you in two weeks. XD
I like your voice. It's not Sugar Sweet like lots of RUclipsrs, but mellow and Full-bodied. A breath of fresh air.
I thought project zomboid was abandoned. Is it still being updated?
of course! still to this day, and it gains alot in popularity :)
>decide to go full homeless and live in a forest
>ends up making Riverrun
0:24 is that pewdiepie?
I shudder at the amount of log hauling that would have taken.
Couldn’t relate to the commentary more this time, that is what everyone’s true view of freedom should be, best lad on RUclips hands down
How big is a cell????
Look it up
The way he talked I kept thinking he was about to pull a very straight faced dry joke, but it was just genuine David Attenborough mixed with soul searching. Very nice.
I too like to find the meta, the micro habitat that game systems make by accident. Like fishing giving you clothes.
Was pretty engaging and entertaining until you're like, "So I spawned myself in a saw and some nails" randomly in the middle of the video LOL.
Take a thumbs up for the first half anyway though!
Why does every video he makes first sound so silly and whatnot but at the end he just reveals some deep moral truth, what a man.
Loved this idea. Funny ending though, essentially the equivalent of "I did a little mining off camera." Can't blame him though. Would take forever.
I don't like zombie games but I love the poetic commentary this guy puts out.
