Project Zomboid: The Worst Day Ever 

since there's a new multiplayer update on this game, im kinda excited for what whacky stuff kevin might get up to with other players knowing his sparkling history of multiplayer games

i can imagine all of Kevin's sims characters feel like this everyday, the worst day ever is everyday for them

Hey Kevin here are 10 tips that might make the CDDA challenge easier to tackle! 1. You can muffle your coughs and sneezes with toilet paper or tissues by equipping them to your secondary slot, then not as many zombies will follow you when you're trying to sneak! 2. You can sew up your deep wound with any needle and thread so you don't necessarily need to get to the medical center. Hunt for a needle, first aid or sewing kit. If you find a needle you just need to rip up a bunch of clothing until you get thread 3. You can outwalk most zombies, to avoid excessive exertion try not to run or sprint. Besides exertion, running and sprinting also causes loud noise and attracts zombies so it is a good way to get yourself killed. Only briefly use the run or sprint to skirt around a zombie or two if you're about to get grabbed 4. Try right clicking and using "walk to" when going through the woods. The character's path finding will search for the best path through the woods and you'll avoid scratches! 5. Avoid running near low fences because you're almost guaranteed to trip over those and get hurt, make sure you're walking before you attempt to vault any fence 6. Stockpile your food at the start. You can actually go hungry for longer than you might expect before you begin to lose health due to starvation, and the only way to get over the bad cold you start with is to be full of food and have a good rest, so find a safe house to hunker down in and stockpile the food you find there and keep yourself just above the starvation moodlet until you're safely able to eat and sleep and stay warm for a couple days and your cold will go away. Once it's gone just try not to get hypothermia or wet to avoid getting a cold again 7. (Edit: this one may not be true anymore as of a recent patch to the game) TVs are actually invincible objects at the current moment so if you ever want to be completely safe, block off all the possible entrances to your location with TVs. You may want to get an escape rope ready and use the top floor of a two story building if youre going to hunker down somewhere closer to civilization, so block off the stairs with a TV and you won't need to worry about the other doors or windows if the stairs are the only way to the spot you're hiding in. Later if you find a sledge hammer you'll be able to completely knock out the stairs. TVs are also a good way to cheese the system and grind levels of skills if the zombies can't get to you but you're still able to get to the zombies.... 8. Generally it's not safe to try and kill more than two zombies at once, three or more will usually overpower and kill you. Its better to calmly walk as far away from crowded areas as possible and look elsewhere for supplies. Also, if you have to lock zombies behind doors you'll want to leave that place right away because hordes burst through doors quite quickly as I'm sure you've noticed already, but it's a great strategy to get out of a large horde. 9. Another good strategy to get out of a large horde, or to get into a place that is surrounded, is to herd up a ton of zombies (standing and walking, don't run or you'll eventually tire out and get grabbed) and getting them lost in the woods. Walk through the woods with them and then once you make it out to the other side of the woods try circling back (far enough away you don't encounter the zombies you just got lost in the woods of course) and sneak back to where you wanted to go. Best to do this when not with a cold so the zombies are only relying on their line of site to find you. Last advice for zombie wrangling is to find alarm clocks, set them for a few minutes into the future, drop them somewhere you don't need to get back to, and when the alarm goes off the zombies in the area will go to it and leave nearby buildings clear. One other thing you can do this with but at a much larger range are vehicles with sirens like police cars and ambulances 10. As far as weapons are concerned, either longer range melee weapons like shovels and spears, or the short blunt weapon class like hammers and wrenches are your best friend. Long range because they're good at keeping you far enough away to avoid bites and scratches, and short blunt because it's the most common weapon type to find in the game so it is super easy to level up fast. As far as long range melee weapons, you can actually craft a spear out of a plank (which you can get easily by letting zombies knock down a door) and chipped stone (which you can forage for!) Long range are great beginning weapons to one shot zombies without needing to sneak up on them to do it

We need to have a project zombiod episode where he has as many positive traits as possible, we must see Kevin's strategic genius in action again

Monday: great video Tuesday: great video Wednesday: “ah, grand he’s taking a bit of a rest today” Thursday: great video

I love how Kevin puts in his facecam and reactions but never lets it block parts of the game

"The clown leading the conga line" has to be the best expression I've ever heard

Kevin’s singing is so nice to listen to, I get so happy whenever he does a lil musical montage :>

it's great that Kevin is taking Wednesdays off instead of uploading a video at least he can take a break and knows that we all still appreciate his work and comedy

"And I forgot to mention, its also a zombie apocalipse" Love how Kevin says it like that's the least of his problems

I'm now dreaming of the day all the Irish lads play this with kevin, can't wait.

Really love the musical parts finding their way into videos!

Can we take a moment to apreciate that Kevin took a day off yesterday? Take care of your self, lad. Health comes first and we'll still be here if you take a break

Kevin singing randomly is still the best thing

Love seeing more project zomboid kev, really enjoying this, glad to see you still playing.

The notification for this video was so wild, I was about to click on another one and my phone sneakily put it in front of my finger, as if the will of the dear leader declared "stop whatever you're doing, it is time to watch Kevin" xD

as someone whos spent the last week essentially bedridden with a high fever and plugged ears because covid made me too dizzy and congested to do anything, I relate to that opening way too hard

betablockers help slow your heartrate. but you know, in the zombie apocalypses, medicine is really hard to come by. you should take every pill you see because you really can't afford not to.

As many already pointed out, it's really nice that Kevin is actually taking wednesday off to take care of himself. We're proud of you Kevin, and we support you even more! P.S: great musical montage!

Kevin's creativity with character names never stops to amaze me

I just admire your positive thinking Kev, even in zombie apocalypse you're like "lalalala I'm dying but let's do the train " xD

“How did I get glass in my groin?” Callmekevin 2022

The fact that Kevin created this play-through just to call me out shows next-level dedication

Currently stuck in the airport waiting on a four hour delay. Thanks for the upload Kev!

I remember seeing this game and thinking "man I wish a funny RU-vidr would play this" and you my man have answered my prayers

I love how every iteration of the Ed family start off with glass in their groin. I guess it's an inherited trait.

Watching Kevin play project zomboid convinced me to get the game and my gosh is it hard! Kevin makes it seem easy when he isn't casually dying during a challenge.

Ah yes, Kevin's new addiction. Now with multiplayer mode. No doubt he'll carry his team, being the military genius that he is. :D

As an avid Zomboid player, I find this both hilarious and infuriating.

Kevin singing a horse with no name in his version is the best thing that could have happened to me today

I definitely want to see more Project Zomboid. It's always so funny & entertaining when Kevin plays!! I love the weird challenges, but I would even watch him playing "regular"

Is that actually Kevin singing? Amazing voice, man.

I love the project zombie vids so much, he seems to enjoy these challenges as much as we do

"Eat the crackers" could be a quote from Kevin _or_ the zombies

Should've named him "Ah-cho" and he would've been a senil old man calling for his friend, but didn't know it was himself.

Kevin flexing on us by playing the game on hard mode. Truly a military genius

Yes! I love when you play this game. Any simulation game really, you manage to find the best ways to make it fun beyond the game's intention

"Making my way downtown, walking slow, and I'm pissed off!" - Kevin, 2022

I loved the “horse with no name” remix

Omg Kevin that musical bit was brilliant, I'd love to see more stuff like that in your vids!

"OH NO, I'M SUPPOSED TO BE BLESSED NOT CURSED!" felt that

I’d love to see more PZ. I’ve been so happy seeing you play it again ever since I watched you play the one neighborhood challenge and hoped for more.

I feel like there’s so much chaos (and just general fun/replay-ability) potential when it comes to this game! It would be great if you did more videos with it! (if you want to ofc)

kevin with that military bulletproof vest i couldn't even see him this explain why you are a military genius

Kevin and Anna should play this together it'd be fun to see

Kevin going to a chemical toilet and wondering why he can't drink from it is peak Kevin.

Haha a sentence I never knew I would hear Kevin say "how did I get glass in my groins" and always the achoo from the character xD

Yo Kevin, deep wounds need suture needles/sewing kits, so if you find a sewing kit in a house or a medical center with sutures you can stitch up your deep wound. they don’t heal naturally if they’re unstitched

I love watching him and other creators playing this game so I tried playing it. Even when I make my characters much more favorable and give myself an easy start I get my ass handed to me. I really suck at this game 😭

**Grabs rolling pin before leaving the burning house** This guy is definitely Italian and is going to smack the heck out of those zombies like an old Italian lady

This is the first ever comet I ever made on RU-vid and I’m using it to tell you that you are absolutely funny and keep up the amazing work. I also have I BitLife idea try living as the worst soilder of all time

Hey Kevin, here's just a quick few tips that helped me since i just got into the game. You can press shift and click on curtains to close them, which is much quicker then right clicking and hitting close curtain. You can also tap E to open and close windows, and hold E to go thru them, same with fences and such, tap E to vault them. Also, if you have any kind of pan, you can warm it up in a stove or on a fire, get hot water, and use that to sterilize ripped sheets, it helps heal quicker and guards against infection. Keep up the great vids, love watching them!

thank you for uploading such quality videos kevin! these come out just in time for me to watch on my work break, which is just the pick up i need. you always make my day better. keep it up buddy!

Loving these Project Zomboid videos Kevin, you're great at keeping them fresh and fun!

Little tips here, you can actually sterillize your bandage/ripped sheets by boiling up a saucepan of full of water or a cooking pot filled with water, then when it's boiled up you can right click the boiled water and the option for disinfect rag/bandages will pops out. This way, you can save up your alcohol to do something else, like drunk and driving. Anyway, good vids man!

Kevin, i just wanted to say, congrats on the success of your channel. I love your videos and watch it all the time.

Loved that montage, I genuinely think you should sing more! It's a delight to hear!

Project zomboid is one of my most favorite games, I literally pause everything when I notice Kevin is playing again.

"He's got glass lodged in his hand???" Oh, bless your heart, Kevin...

I love these challenges you've been doing and the little musical numbers are amazing! :)

That would be my luck during a zombie apocalypse. I would sneeze at the most inopportune moment and I sound like an elephant when I sneeze. "Ah-choo!" And here comes every zombie within a half mile radius.

I would love to see more of these videos! It’s fun to see how you handle the extra challenges

"I'll probably be exec-...communicated" It was only a split second and you recovered well but you may have just revealed too much about the cu-...rch. Church, I mean. Got a cough. Cough, cough.

Clown lady looked promising :D Some tips: Wear more layers. You can wear many clothing articles together, for example tank top, t-shirt, plaid shirt, sweater, jacket - 5 layers of protection from both zombies and cold. Rest to keep exertion down. You should try to find a place to rest when you are exerted. Even the first stage (Moderate Exertion) will lower your damage by 50% and slow you down.

Kevin's Project Zomboid videos are the best cause he sees all these challenges in this really punishing and challenging game and without doing any research for how best to survive just jumps right into it

I love watching your Project Zomboid videos, Kevin. Its impressive how much you've improved, that was some amazing maneuvering!

Kevin should make Grognak in this game and use their high heels to stomp the zombies!

I'm glad Kevin becomes addicted to certain games

There is no bad day in this game, just death.... And now you can enjoy your agony with other people.

"Too much pain to sleep" relatable... this is why I drink.

Don't remove the glass if you can't stitch the wound up, that will cause you to bleed to death very quickly. Also, don't remove it with your hands, you'll cause more damage than you fix and increase likelihood of infection.

Love the PZ videos lately, and Bo Burnham quotes will always make me happy

More project zomboid! Love this game and the comedy you bring to it is something else

Absolutely loving all the musical montages Kevin's been doing lately! they're so creative and well done

05:17 You dont need a can opener for tuna. NOW YOU KNOW!!

the musical montages make me so happy, and you do actually have a very pleasant voice! thanks for the video

LMAO Kevin and Horse with no Name.... CLASSIC!

The zombies just don't want the sickness. They're running, not walking to Rona

"...His dead body and we're just Conga-ing over it!" -Almost Everyone At Astroworld

'A man with no name' was hauntingly beautiful

Perfect timing, just before sleepy time, and a Zomboid video? Kevin, I love you...in a brothery way

I have covid, but NOTHING will get in my way of watching a new callmekevin.

More project zomboid! I love watching Kevin play this game, its always hilarious!

I’m so meta, I liked this video at the start before the video when there was an unskippable advert for 11 seconds. That’s how much I know that I will and did like this video.

More Zomboid!!!! I too, am currently obsessed with that game, so I'm loving your content!

“How can you be cold with all this fire” Argh… I love you kevin I’m just really sad I laughed at that 😂😂💖

"Man a can of tuna but no CAN OPENER-" is even funnier since I believe cans of tuna and corned beef can both be opened without a can opener in game as they're implied to have pull-top lids-

Love it whenever a musical number comes up! Great video :)

I'm always so happy to see you playing this game I love so much! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it too 😊

Great Video! *this is one of the most hilarious and chaotic series ever*

I loved the horse with no name parody just put in the middle of the video such a nice treat

I personally love Project Zomboid videos. The streams with Max are literally my favourite and I keep rewatching them every few months

I love the content you make around this game! As long as you enjoy it I will keep watching it!

wherever kevin goes, fire follows

That has to be a new Kevin record, for the fastest game over from start of a game! Bloody hilarious!

thank you kev, i have employed your "God Begging" Strategy and what a turn of events, i went from dying all the time on day 7, too surviving way past when the water turns off... THANK YOUUUUUU

I haven't like watched this video yet and like good chance you won't see it but I wanna just say thank you Kevin for keeping me entertained for the last 4 years and I dunno just like making me feel welcomed in a community your an amazing dude and I love your content and all that you do you're recent practice off singing on the channel and streams have really inspired me especially what you said about mastering you're own voice instead of trying to replicate others have really inspired me to do the same as music is my greatest passion I dunno where I'm going with this and I'm pretty drunk but I've been going through a very hard time and you really have been a help a distraction through the shit and I just wanna say I love you man and your content you're truly amazing thank you

After watching so many people have so many flawless play throughs, it’s always nice to see Kevin struggle…like a normal PZ player lol.

When your groin catches fire and the only reaction you can summon before death is a sneeze. Poor Doom, Ed.

I love watching your Project Zomboid videos. Challenge yourself with various classes that you think would be fun would be a great watch.
