Let's Play Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead - Episode 7: Kirk 

@Worm Girl Thanks again for featuring the miniature! 1:26 Excited to watch this today 😊

The last encounter in the parking lot is exaclty WHY in CDDA you should always carry a firearm as soon as you find one, they really are a get-out-of-jail free card for situations way beyond your capabilities. And, if your gun still doesn't do the trick, you were probably boned anyways.

Not a firearm enthusiast personally, but I really enjoy the little history lessons about guns you find! I had no idea 9mm was that old!

I just want to say I really like your narrative style with this Let's Play. I just started playing CDDA a couple days ago, and your tutorial videos were very helpful. The way you narrate these Let's Plays in detail allows me to listen to them in the background at work, and I still have a pretty good idea of what's happening, even if I can't see the screen.

I'm so glad this is back, I've been waiting! Great content

Thks & quite well-done.

Thank you for the video

Love the series!

O, blessed are we to receive additional Cataclysm. I give my thanks, and sacrifice my words to Mighty Algoritmos so that he might spread this video amongst the people.

cant wait for the next episode!

You just know somebody's gonna clip "Cheese" or "Sausage" for a soundboard. Archery seems really effective, but the lack of any real backup plan made me wince a few times.

One time i used the blood filter cbm and it removed my vaccinated effect, hell of a filter that thing must have.

Hi from YNAO 34:40 He have a crossbow... If he meet me hi will be dead😈

Well, yeah, Mellifera doesn't wear sunglasses at night, her vision isn't nano-augmented...yet.

Oh cripes, I died? Damn.

28:45 just going to gloss over picking up that heroin, are we?

Well, now everything I post gets deleted. Too bad. Just know that I love the series.

🇲🇩👍👍👍👍👍👍

Take off sunglasses??? Rubbish! My current char. always wears her stylish sunglasses at night, because the Cataclysm is the perfect time to be stylish! Oh, and 14 perseption also helps somewhat (thanks to the "Abandoned" junkie start)…

I love that the first child zombie you killed gets a poetic monologue. But the third child zombie you killed gets mocked.

"No, there are not menstruation mechanics in the game." someone with 4 hours of free time and knowledge: are you sure about that?

Worm Girl enjoyers rejoice!

I also like compacts simply because your sidearm in Cataclysm tends to be just that: A pistol you can keep on you when you drop your backpack and other gear to fight, so you can draw it quickly and shoot something unexpected you don't want to get close to. So a small, handy compact pistol tends to do the job best.

I found you through your Fear & Hunger stuff, and I love your method of storytelling. I'd love to see more from you!

Another great episode. Love you are explaining some of the more obscure mechanics as well that aren't as obvious to the newbie

Mellifera being so anxious about meeting someone that she briefly considers reading a a car buyer’s guide and practicing her social skills in the mirror is incredible. Adore the work you do.

This is such a great series.

I really like what you did with the dialogue sequence

Really felt the tension at the end and it's easy to see how our punk rocker had started to panic. Loved the episode as always.

I didn’t understand why ASMR was so popular until I listened to Worm Girl give me a firearm history lesson

just a warning to anyone thinking buying the steam version, the admins there are purging any thread that bring criticism our mention the free version, i literally got banned for that

I am extremely happy to have found this channel. Came in on the Fear & Hunger vids and then found CDDA on here? Goddam! This series even taught an old timer like me a couple things. The SD card thing is amazing to learn after half a decade of playing this game. XD

Looks like you hit 30k while I was binging these excellent videos. Congrats!

As a European with zero gun knowledge the info sections on guns is both informative and hilarious.

I greatly look forward to these! The gun history is fascinating, the gameplay tips are useful, and I really wanna shout out how good the conversation with the NPC was. They can feel really nonsensical and you navigated it really well. Yay flu shot! Getting a cold is soooo annoying, especially if you get unlucky really early on. Baseball bats of all stripes are awesome defensive weapons (find good ground, wait for the enemy to come to you - the knockback will throw them off of rubble or car wrecks and cause them to have to approach for 400 move cost again and again), I racked up about a thousand plus kills in my most recent run.

Considering the zombies poor Melli ran into, I gotta say it. Forgive me. REMIND YOURSELF THAT OVERCONFIDENCE IS A SLOW AND INSIDIOUS KILLER.

Imagine my delight to see another episode of our mall-queen's story.

Yet another Worm Girl video lets fucking goooooooooo!

Ingame at least the 5.7mm is situationally useful, the armour piercing capability is very useful to have if you're fighting armoured opponents but it's generally wasted on zombies compared to the far more common or more powerful options available. Also to be honest most of the stuff that has armour you probably don't want to be in pistol range of anyway.

You're strangely knowledgeable on weapons. 57 is just too expensive to shoot, when a short barrel ar-15 223/556 pistol has better performance with green tip (SS-109) for 60c to shoot? Depending on ammo costs. It's a novelty gun mostly, and for humble bragging at ranges. Doesn't mean I wouldn't want one, just I wouldn't be able to shoot it. Too expensive.

Interesting history on the 5.7, on an unrelated note, are there older guns in CDDA or only newer ones? Specifically something like the M1 or Mosin Nagant, I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for WWII era weapons, my first gun was actually a Mosin Nagant.

"No, there are not menstruation mechanics in the game." Please don't give them any ideas.

Worm girl your the best CDDA player by far. And I know you wear your sunglasses at night lol 😎

Yay another episode!!! AND as a bonus I get a neat lesson on the FN 57.

🪱 time yet again.

I hope there's a lot more of these in the future! Been learning a lot from this

I don't care what anyone says, getting all that 5.7 ammo for free would make the apocalypse worth it

I wasn’t aware they had 5.7 in the game. I just bought a S&W 5.7 not long ago. Mine was only 650$ or so. Love it

Sounds like someone's vision isn't augmented!

37:03 Feel free to screenshot

I know nothing about guns save what little I’ve learned from Payday 2, and all I remembered when you found the 5/7 was that it was one of the few guns that could punch through a riot shield. Appreciate the lessons tho!

The fact that there are tampons in the game (but apparently not useful for their original intention) made me realize how much more fucked this sort of survival situation would be for people who have menstrual cycles. Not to mention specific issues like having heavy bloodflow or strong menstrual pain every month, or if someone had endometriosis. Plus irregular cycles due to stress and not getting enough food... As if it wasn't already a pain in the ass in regular life 😂 I've heard it's already an issue for homeless women to get regular access to tampons and other hygiene products...

Thanks for the content! Oh and I do like the use of metric. :). Your explanations are great l. Oh, do you play the game alone? When I play at night I kind of get freaked out. Lol.

i don't hate the 57, but who ever decided that they should capitalize the N in seven is trying wayyyyyy too hard.

Worm girl enjoyers

Just discovered your channel, it's pretty cool to get to see someone play instead of my usual experience which generally involves dying in the first 48 hours. Also I totally wish I had your pretty voice if you know what I mean? ;)

All I can think of when I hear about a Five-Seven is how Jeremy Renner vibechecked his wife with one lmfao.

FINDING AN FN Five-seveN IN THE FUCKIN ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE LMAO

Me playing cdda: guns suck, I'll just use my trusty quarterstaff. Worm Girl: I expect war in the comments

I don't typically care about guns, but for some reason I enjoy you talking about them. I think I fall on the eurotrash side of the FN debate! Also, how much of the quest you found was made up by you? I haven't played a ton but the most intricate quest I ever received was to find some particular object and wasn't imaginative

binging this and learning about guns thank you for your service ma'am worm girl

My comment seems to get deleted. Must be sen soring of somethign around the middle of the video. I'll edit the comment somewhat to see if it stops getting moved

I’m so happy you are making this series. I love Cataclysm but have never been this proficient in the game’s mechanics. You are a wonderful entertainer and teacher.

Skub changed my life, thanks to it I got cured of terminal illness

Chips png caught me off guard. I might have done a little snort laugh...

This got me into cdda, thank you

I'll never be upset by people shoving rifle rounds in a pistol.

Ok... I want more of your content. All of it. Its all amazing.

Nice use of that old "skub" meme. I see someone's been on the internet for a while now lol

If there's ever a P90/MP7 found, should really mention the hecticness behind the NATO PDW trials, basically one huge political squabble.

I believe it’s supposed to be a reference to a clockwork orange

Like I always say, it ain’t pretty, it ain’t fancy, but any stick is better as a beating stick

I love the series, the mechanical break down, and NOW the gun lore!

I love your content, looking forward to more!

Was very surprised by your gun knowledge your very interesting

Perfect timing for breakfast enjoyment, thanks!

Man that parking lot encounter was super tense, happy to see Melli make it out in one piece.

I personally have a bit of a soft spot for the FN 5.7, it's the "Punisher" handgun in Resident Evil 4, and the interesting history of it, makes it one of my favorites, along with the P90, which uses the same ammo type. Oooh an aluminum bat, now that feels very punk, along with the sleeveless coat. >:D

That Skyrim reference lol I used debug to build several apartment buildings for the NPCs I rescued. Yesterday I realized I accidentally killed half of them and saved without realizing it 😢

Such an intense ending

Commenting for engagement

Also, I loved the cheeky little Corey Hart reference you slipped in there with the eye encumberance :P

NEW UPLOAD LESS GOOOOOOOOOO

Ayy neato! 7th installment! That figurine looks really awesome :O Also a little heads-up given you have updated the game (and unsure if people mentioned in other videos), regarding calories and weight: - The calories/nutrition system update may have broken a few people's characters given the threshold for when one changes "category" were raised (e.g.: "normal" to "overweight"), some people may have found themselves in "underfed" or "underweight" situations, very very deep into them in fact. If it starts being a problem for you, the best way to fix it is to reset needs in the debug menu (or alternatively award your character 90k calories so it is back to normal weight, close to overweight.) On a small side note, you can sort the items in your "V"(Look Around) and AIM menus by hitting "s". Helps a lot when looking for specific things (it is also much more visually appealing when looking through loot). On the [g]Pickup Menu you can use ";" to change the "hierarchy" too (i.e.: How items are displayed). As for the bugout bags I think there was a recent PR (unsure if it was merged or not) that severely changed loot tables and nerfed the amount of zombies that may have them too. EDIT: Re-Temperatures: The cold/chilly also comes from the sweating your character produces when "exercising" / fighting, or from bleeding too. Limb Score matters as well, but your limbs didn't seem to be damaged enough to count towards it yet.

PBF comic fam!

Yay

I've watched through this whole (as of now) Let's Play after Miro retweeted one of your Fear and Hunger videos. I've really enjoyed it! I love Cataclysm DDA but I rarely have the patience to play it well. The presentation here is really excellent.

Just catching the playlist link at the end with the thumbnail from the first vid it's wild how your character is already a far cry away from that first day. First time a gun has gone off since that episode too, I think?

Never before have i thought about detonating a car to get some parts quickly. Then again with this many meteores... i swear one have fallen on a farm house i spawned in.

you can't just drop Zombies ate my neighbors on me man, I feel myself ageing in seconds.

Surviving a mall parking lot is something I've never managed to do before. Then again, I've never tried a mall start before. Usually getting near them is trouble enough.

so glad you've gotten to devote more time to making videos. when I first found your channel, I was worried I wouldn't see any more videos from you!

I've been binge-listening the series and I am really pleasantly surprised you really know your weapons!

What tileset are you using?

When I was a kid, I totally would have had a book on something random like home distillation in my backpack, so this makes sense to me.

Sorry if this has been answered else where, but what is the tileset you are using?

The horeforge mini rocks! I love using it to help bring my character designs more real.

I love this series and am always glad to see another of your vids on my feed. Thanks for another exciting episode :D

This is such an awesome series! The game mechanics breakdowns, the gun lore, the RP! All top notch.

I absolutely love this series :) I always get so so so excited when I see an upload from you pop up!
