I miss Bytejacker =(

[newchallenger]

@EsquireRu l totally appreciate and love comments like this. I do. I love Bytejacker to death - it was my life for three years. But I'm also putting a lot into this show - I created it, I write it, I produce it, I edit it. I'd love to see people focus on and comment about this project rather than dwell on my past efforts. Onward and upward, dudes!

My upward facing thumbs is for boobs.

@MrPeyzilla12 Thats true. I stopped playing this game since rummaging through hundreds and hundreds of suitcases tends to give me a headache. For me, the balancing on this game is not enjoyable. I am a resident evil fanatic however, ive played through every game, except code v.... Dead Island for me doesnt work sadly. :(

@homebrewman23 but if u lvl up ur survival skill to find more cash u can find 100 dollars or even better 1,000 dollars

[MrPeyzilla12]

2 lockpicking box's?! I FOUND LIKE 30 THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE GAME

[homebrewman23]

I dont see how a crowbar or a lead pipe can wear out, I hate rummaging through suitcases for $2, it was frustrating to not be able to pick up more weapons. For example I would drop all my duct tape, batterys and junk and still not be able to pick up a damn gun sitting right there. I cant find a compelling reason to finish this game sadly. Great concept though!

Soon as she said out, I knew this is filmed in Canada Lol!

@dontthinkJUSTDOIT21 You're not the only one. Love her to bits =)

[glennjridge]

I would like the notion that the zombies dont spawn to give you cheap excitement but are just randomely walking around. I also dont like the notion there are safe havens like in some buildings.

I would like it truly to be a random game and those things go where they want. also,while I dont have this game yet.....and I am told its a very large map....there seems to be a sameness to the island in every video I see.

I think should be like san andreas GTA. city.suburbs/farmland/resort/d­esert.
