accurize2 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I plan on using this thread to post link to new videos I create for The Long Dark. My channel is all about survival gaming and this one seems custom made for my site and for me personally! Finally a game that does just survival...and it's done RIGHT!Those of you who don't have access to the backer area of the forum. Let me tell you the devs are VERY hard at work and VERY involved with the community. These guys/gals: 1. Know what they're doing. 2. Have a clear, achievable vision. 3. Are working hard (expect Steam to get blown away on release date - this will top the charts...mark my words)I hope these Let's Play series keep you happy until you can get your hands on a copy in Sept. As always, likes, comments and subscribes are always welcomed!

ryan_leonard Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Great video. This is what I wanted to do with the videos I've been recording and posting on youtube, but I don't have a microphone for the narration... so they are not quite as interesting :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accurize2 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Thanks for the nice comments above! It keeps me motivated during these long nights of blizzards and 63 MPH winds...Surprisingly, I start this life right right where I died in the previous life. Enjoy my struggles you sadistic viewers![bBvideo 420,255:3b6f71ch] [/bBvideo] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinterland Raphael van Lierop Posted July 30, 2014 Hinterland Share Posted July 30, 2014 These are so awesome. Love the creative titles. We'll share these on our channels too! Thanks for taking the time to do these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accurize2 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Thanks! They are a lot of fun to create also. The extra exposure on the site you've given has been extremely helpful. I plan on doing a livestream the next time I get a few solid hours free. Also, I have a really snarky title for the next time I feel I get Hinter'ed or Raph'ed and die of an illness. Furthermore, the community here is top notch and they have been very motivating. So I am just sitting down to start life 3 with a whole new strategy.Ok, less talk. More survival (attempts)!Here is Life 2 Episode 2 in the meantime...[bBvideo 420,255:1wbmn84y] [/bBvideo] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accurize2 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 I take a break in this one from the long Let's Plays and hit the cool and funny parts of this particular life / failed attempt... and just when I thought the wolves were starting to like me. :cry: [bBvideo 420,255:3ichx0k4] [/bBvideo] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bad, this kind of inventory can go up or down depending on luck. However, is it efficient for travel, after all the more you're carrying the more calories you're burning. Now I don't have the game and nobody has done a calories burned per pound breakdown either here or on youtube, so I can't go into specific numbers reliably. However, consider this alternate loadout...[table=][tr=][td]3 Pork and Beans__[/td][td]1.8 pounds__[/td][td]2550 calories__[/td][td]1416 cal/lbs[/td][/tr][tr][td]1 Canned Peaches[/td][td]0.6 lbs[/td][td]450 cal[/td][td]750 cal/lbs[/td][/tr][tr][td]3 Sodas (Various)[/td][td]0.6 lbs[/td][td]1050 cal[/td][td]1750 cal/lbs[/td][/tr][tr][td]2 Beef Jerkies[/td][td]0.4 lbs[/td][td]700 cal[/td][td]1750 cal/lbs[/td][/tr][tr][td]2 Candy Bars[/td][td]0.4 lbs[/td][td]400 cal[/td][td]1000 cal/lbs[/td][/tr][tr][td]Totals[/td][td]3.8 lbs[/td][td]5150 cal[/td][td]1355 cal/lbs[/td][/tr][/table]For 2000 less calories, you cut your food carry weight nearly in half while increasing your calorie per pound carried. As currently food decays at the same rate, it'd be better to save your Animal Meats and Peaches for when you return, because they have poor calorie to pounds ratios. Sodas are par with Jerky, and 3 sodas offer twice as many calories than one can of Peaches. As thus, they make excellent travel food for when you want to save the heavy foods for blizzard holdouts at a specific place.So with 3.8 pounds of 5000 calorie foods, the total carry weight of the Mucking About loudout becomes 19.2lbs without the optional Hatchet or Crowbar. This is both well below the Exhaustion penalty weight restriction, and it'll save you calories as you're mucking about the wilderness for loot.Additionally, For mucking about you want to carry unspoiled ready-to-eat food with high calorie to weight ratios (energy bars, jerky, sodas) that doesn't require a tool or fire (canned food and uncooked meat) when you head out. So as for what you're hoarding your soda for? You're hoarding them for mucking about outside.Hopefully this give you and some other early access players something to think about and better survive during their gameplay.EDIT: fixed tables for easier reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
