Can I Survive in a SINGLE HOUSE in Project Zomboid? 

Took me long enough! I just did a crosscountry trip and a crosscountry move the last two weeks, so I've just streamed as ever time permitted. Hope you enjoy!

*"When you were looting houses, i studied the carpentry"*

"Overconfidence is an insidious killer" I see Darkest Dungeon will be next.

The focus on gardening makes this feel more like Plants vs Zombies than a hardcore survival simulator. I expected to hear "Day seven - The cabbages can now be used as defensive turrets to fight off the hordes."

"Overconfidence is an insidious killer" Literally every single one of my successful/long Project Zomboid games ends with a stupid, easily preventable death. So can confirm. :P

Surviving in a single house all the time is essentially just how I live my life.

In an actual zombie apocalypse I imagine hiding in your house and not venturing outside isn’t a terrible idea, at least for awhile

"While you went to parties and socialised, I studied the way of the hammer. While you drank alcohol and ate pizza, I mastered the art of cookery and housekeeping. Now that the apocalypse has come, you are unprepared. While I, inside the fortress that is my mind and home, am unstoppable." - House Man

"Hard working and fat" When your negetive outweighs your positive but your positive outweighs your negative.

My base is of a school. Full of zombies, but I managed to make an upper floor classroom my safe space. I barricaded the only door out into the hallways with furniture. Lots of furniture. I then chose the 2 windows available as my entrances and exits via sheet rope. Luckily, the area i’d climb down into was surrounded by tall chain fencing. Plenty of outside room, possibly for as much farming and water collecting as I’ll need. The school would allow me to collect many many books, and allow my second character (my first got bit) to get a 3x multiplier of everything possible (besides mechanics). I’ve recently lost infinite water from the sink. Even though I was smart early on and gathered tons of water, it won’t last me forever, and I’ll have to learn carpentry soon. Sadly, the TV programming had shut off. Food, currently is not a problem. A grocery store is stocked with food, which I can go visit when needed until I can sustain myself via gardening. Only negative, is the long dangerous walk between the school, and the grocery store. Luckily, all the houses in the neighborhood could allow me to get carpentry quickly, as long as I can sustain hammers and necessary tools for the job.

i like how the player character in zomboid lives there entire life hardly learning anything then the zombies attack and they watch a few tv shows and read a few books and they are basically gordon ramsay/tim allen

I just love the thought of your character in between tearing the house apart running down stairs standing in the middle of the living room hammer in hand bodies around you all to catch the farming show

Bitten by a radioactive infected house, he becomes HOME MAN

Honestly just chilling in a house watching tv, reading, maybe playing some games and munching on hotpockets while occasionally bashing in nearly defenseless zombies sounds like the true American dream.

I'd love to see a "How long can I survive in a Supermarket"

"In many starter homes, you MIGHT find Cabbage Seeds." That MIGHT is so MIGHTY it is doing all the heavylifting in that sentence. 07:55

Never played this game, but i watched the whole video and loved it

The satisfaction of knowing that you have a really good set up for yourself, followed by getting bitten by not noticing how tired you are That's the Project Zomboid experience

9:50 I love the metaphor of a resilient flower paired with that dainty piano music... Meanwhile you're surviving in a zombified hellscape lmao

YOU CAN DO IT! SURVIVAL! THAT IS YOUR HOUSE! YOUR CASTLE! ALL WHOM CHALLENGE IT SHALL PERISH!

"I will survive in my house" *turns into the dude from plant vs zombies*

This video has taught me to stay home, read many books I can, and take advantage of the shows that play on the TV for extra stat points, thanks, Amphibian!

Remember, buildings can burn, luckily zombies can't burn stuff.

I had, for the first time, a great setup in PZ after picking the game up two days ago. Found my first gun, was stocked with food and meds, holed up in the Medical Centre, curtains galore, working on my skills in private. Then I went to bed and burned to death because I forgot I left a ham in the oven. I died not because of the apocalypse, but because of my own domestic incompetence. I adore this game.

You're one the best creators on the platform I've ever watched 👍

>lights a fire ontop of his house in the dead of night. >gets swarmed by zombies who saw the fire for miles away. Seems about expected.

I remember when my family and I were stuck at the airport for 8+ hours, I spent all of that time just looking at my brother playing this game. Kinda nice seeing it in my recommended now

I've been wishing for a survivor show like this forever.

I've owned this game for about 5 years. Time to clean the dust off of it, cause you made it seem very interesting.

This reminds me of “the night eats the world” it’s a movie where a guy goes to a party in a Paris apartment building and he sleeps in a locked room and wakes up in the apocalypse and you watch him as he clears out the apartment building makes it his home

I can’t explain it properly in words but watching this video is like my bedtime asmr; it might just be a combination of your voice, the way you speak, the diction that you use, the gameplay or something else entirely, but it puts me at ease… even if the subject matter is about an obese misanthrope just trying to survive the zombie apocalypse

Realistically, doing this will always get you killed whenever the helicopter event happens. Unless you can somehow destroy the stairs and just live somewhere zombies are unable to reach you, the swarm is gonna be too much to handle. And that'd mean spawning in a house with a sledgehammer, so good luck. :D

This could be a pretty good way of surviving in multiplayer.

I know I'm about 8 months late, but your voice and stories are both absolutely hilarious with the way you provide the information, and super relaxing with the tone you use. Love your videos, you make fantastic ones, I hope you continue having fun doing what you do.

"Then....a neighbor" I have this sickening feeling and my neighbors aren't even zombies hahahaha

"For negative effects I chose obese, agoraphobic, conspicuous, disorganized, hard hearing, clumsy, short sited, slow reader, and sunday driver." I didn't know he was playing as me

In a Disney movie I'm sure this dude and "Let's Game It Out" will both be mega villains.

"Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer" goddamn Wayne June's quote is just always perfect

Build 41 is quite the drug. Its weird seeing these old builds.

I've never ever heard of this game before, but I watched the whole thing lol

The moment the Zombies find you it sure is gonna be a _Full House_ , haha! *punts self into the nearest horde*

I've watched the beauty of the journey of Home Man more times than I can count now and it's still beautiful.

Honey, a zombie appocalypse is beginning, what do we do!? Dad: quick! turn on Food Network and ill grab the upstairs curtains and a couple books!!!

4:17 I hate when this happens to me

(EDIT: THIS INFO MAY BE INACCURATE. THE NEW 41.51 PATCH UPDATED THE MEDIA IN GAME) 6am, noon, 6pm, midnight are when the Life & Living teaching shows come on. If you use the "pick up furniture" tool on the curtains, you actually can pick up the whole curtain, instead of getting the generic "sheet".

i would like to see a full series on this it would be interesting.

I've spawned in that exact house, so this video hits home.

Its some next level of torture. To watch cooking show when you are starving.

This channel reminds me of Sseth, if he did longform let's plays and not reviews. I fucking love it.

This is the first project zombie play through I’m gonna watch. Know it’s gonna be good!

I don't know how you manage to naturally flow into a positive life-message in seemingly every zomboid video, but man is it captivating. Cheers!

"Overconfidence is an insidious killer" Have you touched Darkest Dungeon?

Watching the tv before it goes out is great. If you end up missing shows and the tv then goes out, if the power hasn't, you can still go raid book shops and VHS stores. VHS stores have alot of the cooking/carpentry/fishing/etc on tape, so long as the power is back on you can make up for lost levels. Got to level 8 carpentry and cooking by the end of the 2nd week that way

I played this game when it was in beta. Had a huge amount of fun naming characters after authors. One session involved a particularly perilous escape from a horde that caused me to exclaim, "Walt Whitman is a zombie-killing machine!" I think I died less than ten minutes later. O Captain, my Captain, lies cold and dead.

Finally, you’re back to Zomboid! I love your runs of this game.

"It's fine, don't question it." needs to be a Tshirt

Your script writing and commentary is second to none, you’re a brilliant storyteller and thoroughly entertaining

I haven't even played this game but holy crap this is so entertaining

This is actually such a great view into what is possible with the game. It makes me realize that I'm doing like 1% of the possible things....what an amazing in-depth game

gotta love it when ya extracting worms from the 3cm roof dirt you are growing your cabbages in.

Man! You are great! I've started playing Zomboid because your "from zero to hero" series. I used all the knowledge You gave me and now my record is 85 days and 750 killed zombies! What a great game it is!

these days a living only inside the house means never going through a exit (door / open window, etc) moving up is allowed in staying in your house (not for staying inside but that does not matter in video games)

“This meant a fight in the nude in the dark” Why haven’t I stopped snickering about this

What I expected: A great zombiod playthrough with ingenious strategies, and thoughtful commentary What I got: A great zombiod playthrough with ingenious strategies, and thoughtful commentary Actually good philosophical questioning of life Abuse of the mechanics Bending those rules like a rubber hose And thats why I love this channel :')

Every morning I break down my house Every night I eliminate those who break in I do not sleep I only watch my television and perfect my defenses I hunger for the day that I am either eliminated by exhaustion or entombed forever within my own house

I love when AA come back to PZ

He led a simple life, long and healthy but in the end his time came. Thank you for telling this mans tale.

Imagine actually starting with a crowbar and hammer in your house, I get fucking spoons and thats it.

Watching your videos brings a calming feeling to the apocalypse, you make it seem possible for anyone to learn to be as great as a survivor as you.

5:15 " *I WAS CANNED FOOD IN THERE, WAITING FOR FOES TO STRIKE AND EAT ME* " MAN THAT WAS DEEP

This is the exact video that brang me into project zomboid. Thank you amphibian, without you i would never know about such a good game. I own it for 2 years now, and i love it.

Holy shit I really got an ad at 2:31 when you began with “a N-“ I had the hardest turn around

Single house games are fun. I've done a few where I've tried to stay in my house for as long as possible. The Day 7 helicopter event is kind of a bitch, but if you can make it through that, you are good.

Actually canon since some survivors stayed in doors as tv said they had to do, loved the video.

playing an isolating game during Covid is bound to be good for a persons mental health!

I keep coming back to this video to listen to the end monologue "keep stretching out our arms, and reaching farther than we did yesterday" eloquent and inspiring

I'm just stuck rewatching all of your videos on Project Zomboid since you stopped making them.. Even when I myself begin to stream PZ, I catch myself accidentally reciting a line from one of your videos... When I tried the CDDA challenge, I basically just said everything you said in your CDDA series. But no matter, this will never get boring to me. You are a big inspiration to me :)

I find it funny how we all collectively remembered this game existed, because honestly i was starting to get nostalgia for old games

I did this challenge accidentally on my first time playing the game. I was too afraid to go more than a few houses away from the starter house.

This video is especially funny when youve made this exact house a base before

How does this man turn every challenge into a spiritual experience?

I love survival games and never heard of this game before.. glad youtube recommended this randomly, I'll probably get it now looks amazing

The amphibious man never fails to amaze with the wisdom of a wise man in the peaks of Nepal

Not only did I learn a lot of new tips in this great game, but also learned that everyday is a chance to grow in my own world to grow and learn from each mistake that we all make. life is difficult and I am very happy that we do not have to deal with zombies. Keep up the great work man and I hope you all have a great week!!

Be proud that your video *is the most watched* Project Zomboid YT video as of today.

"Sedentary and full of purpose" Thank you for that.

This was a remarkably pleasant episode. Very calming. Thank you.

Imagine getting a home with seeds, sack of dirt, baseball bat, the exact carpentry books you need plus a hammer and a saw

Isn't drive way and territory around house being considered a part of house? like you buy the land on which house is built? so technically you can go out to your driveway, yard, and loan of how ever it's called in English.

"Why don't I harm myself more?" -ambiguousamphibian, 2021

I'm not sure how I missed this game! Thanks for introducing me to it.

New challenge don't leave the house without any reason Introverts: *"The Experts"*

Haven't played PZ long, just 35ish hours, and aside from day 1 deaths that I don't really care about, I've only died once. But one of the things I know is going to kill me often is gear-hoarding. I was at Rosewood setting myself up, and went to loot the police station. Saw a shotgun zombie and killed them, then wanted to loot the gun immediately, despite other zombies being around. I saw one approaching whilst I was picking it up and got scratched in the scuffle because it took too long to grab the shotgun. I wasn't infected by the attack, and I healed up from it just fine, but the fact that I risked the entire run just for a shotgun that I likely will never use is both hilarious and terrifying to me.

The video starts with "quick get the telly on!" you sir have already earned my like.

I wanna see this video become a series. Also wanted to see him barricade the doors and windows with planks

i watched your project zomboid video every night and go to bed, your voices sounds so sweet it take me to sleep

I'm so happy this came into my recommended lmao, was a fun ride from start to finish even though I've never heard of this game

*More Zomboid* Thank god, Zomboid content's been drying up.

You see. As we we're out, finding cars, exploring towns, and collecting loot. He was inside of his own home. As if the world was the same. Living and breathing cabbage.

This was a truly beautiful tale. What a treat!
