OK, this time of year people have a bit of free time (in theory), and you might be a little jaded or bored with current games you own.

So, go on Steam, find Arma 2 Combined Ops, it costs $18 right now, download it install both Arma 2 and operation arrowhead that comes with it.

Now, go [HERE and download DayZ Commander.

The commander will install DayZ for you (if you click install) and also search for servers/friends.

DayZ

Once you have everything running, Talk to me or Happy, or Pie, or any of the other handful playing this and we can get you onto a server with us, right now we're on Laughing Man's servers (he has 2 and they connect to each other) they share info so your player is saved on both servers.  

I'm pushing this because this game is much better with friends so if we can get a good sized group going all the better.

Do it now, don't ask questions.

looks cool. I may get it tomorrow.
What about the high resolution pack? Watched a youtube video on it.
