Today’s game is Zomboid. Yesterday was a lot of fun, and i had fun seeing everyone’s opinions. I saw Zomboid mentioned a few times again yesterday and i got really in the mood to bring back Jerry and Cable. It’s been a hot minute since i played Jerry i think, so for anyone who hasn’t seen him before: Jerry Attricks basically a middle-aged Suburban Dad who when the apocalypse hit wanted to watch the big game and have a cookout. On his way back from the store he picked up his “son”, Cable (played by my friend), off the streets. Cable is actually a “20 something gay stoner” (word for word quote from my friend), but he just goes along with it, despite the fact he’s lost more limbs than a person probably should due to Jerry’s actions.

We started with a light modpack. Spongie’s mods, some car mods for flavors, and the Only Cure. Keeps things light but adds a lot of flair in my opinion. I accidentally gave my friend the wrong spawn town so i had to hunt down a car for Jerry to get over there. Luckily i found this lovely thing a few houses down. I tracked down some gas and managed to get it running.

After picking up my friend, we drove by a Drive In and planned to stay there. It had lots of space and it was secluded from society. It made the perfect base for us. Not to mention there were a ton of cars and a gas station right across the street.

We found a better base though after driving into a nearby town. We were making a supply run for metal sheets to repair the vehicles, when we found a Military Apartment Building. In our very first save we had a motel base, and remembering that we decided this could be the motel base 2.0. We looted shotgun shells and stuff from the local houses and used the car horn to draw them all out. Then we started house cleaning. Before long we had emptied the entire building basically. Next up on our list will be too cut down trees for planks and make barricades too protect the building. We saved that for later though because Jesus christ are there a lot of windows on the bottom floor.
