Chronic Reload Podcast: Tales from DayZ
Stephen poses with Chris' "Waterfire"
Hello? This thing on…? We’re back, after months of College and Employment Chris and Stephen are finally graduated and unemployed enough to start bashing out Podcasts again. Today we’re telling tales from our time playing DayZ, the hardcore zombie survival mod for ArmA II thats taken us all by surprise. To be honest I think you need some idea of what the game looks like before listening to us so have a look at this first:
Some links mentioned in this weeks episode:
- DayZ Homepage
- DayZ Install Tool
- Tweak guide for optimising Arma
- Installation guide by PC Gamer
- To play you need both Arma II and the expansion Operation Arrowhead. Both are available through Steam as one package
Also a correction: E3 has already started, there was a delay between us recording this and releasing it. We’ll have more than one E3 related Podcast coming soon.

Batman listens to our Podcast. Do you?
So we got behind on Podcasts for a bit there. Here’s our solution: Between now and Christmas we’ll be releasing several Podcasts each about one game released this Q4. Kicking off with Arkham City right here. Heber and Stephen discuss Arkham City and eventually Batman in general for well over an hour. This Podcast goes into heavy spoilers after about 15 minutes but well warn you. Also don’t forget to check out Heber’s weird Bad Photoshop blog thing, Stephen thinks the Harry Potter one is good. Follow Stephen and Heber on Twitter as well.

Stephen, Chris and Heber talk news and games. How much crap will you take to play Arkham City? Where has Assasin’s Creed gone to and where was it going to?

Episode 14!
Series 3 is finally here. Stephen and Chris make a glorious return while Heber is out going to a thing. Games discussed this week include Skyrim, Dead Island, Minecraft 1.8, Red Orchestra 2, Crysis 2 and others. There’s also a bit where we nearly talk about the news but then Chris can’t because he has to go and I talk about deleting this bit of the recording. I just remembered I never cut but it’s 2:51am and I do not feel like going back in there. Goodnight friends… Goodnight.
Also! This week we’ve used a brand new method to record the Podcast. If you have any comments or advise on the audio quality please feel free to post a comment below.
