VIDEO: Exhausted Planet of Cubes Zombie goes up in flames

This Planet of Cubes Zombie was tired, worn out, and would not give up. He had to go up in flames. 

It's rare that the Planet of Cubes zombies are out in the day but when they are, they're asking for it. 

 Why? Because they have that Vampire clause dangling over them: They go up in flames when the daylight hits them. It's hilarious. I thought it would be cool to catch one blow up on camera. If you're not out on the land of crafting  then you want to be in a house right on the border of the alleged safe zone. From there, go to a window or two. Just walk back and forth for a while and you're going to get some attention. It will either be spiders or Zombies.

So in my case, I had a zombie. He was not just any zombie, he was exhausted. It's funny because on the video you can see him taking breaks to catch his breath! I was cracking up. Add a little Walking Dead Theme Music and you've got a funny production (we'll see how long it stays up before it's flagged for whatever weird reason...)

As soon as the sun came up I took off out the house, not without a fight. He was blocking the doorway! As soon as I got out to open land I turned around and caught his demise on video. RIP to that lost soul, I will not be your dinner tonight! No matter where you are when the evening comes, be inside!

Walking Dead Zombies spotted in Planet of Cubes

The Walking Dead in Planet of Cubes Survivor Multiplayer??

Caught this shot of some Zombies outside my window as i waited for daybreak. Felt like i was in The Walking Dead!

Portal Jumping in the New Year

 

When you're portal jumping, anything is possible.

Portal jumping in Planet of Cubes Survival Multiplayer can be fun, but also terrifying. 

You know, it's already pretty rare that I go too far off the base map because you guess it - I have NO PROTECTION (haha). So today in light of the New Year I thought why not? Let's take a portal jump. The photo above shows one of those jumps I took through the portal. Looks great doesn't it? Very nice scenery - 

Travel further down the rabbit hole and you've got this: Spiders and Skeletons shooting at you. I was done.  Not gonna lie to ya - that caught me off guard. So I did what any Planet of Cubes player would do in a situation that you're not prepped for - craft fast, find a hole, and barricade yourself! In the photo on the left you can see that I only had a wooden hoe and a dream to hold on to. Needless to say I was killed by a spider and and soon I will have my revenge. 

I think the biggest issue I'm having right now is the fact I'm not defending myself very well. Longest time out in the Surivor mode? Two days. Usually I forget what time it is and get caught up in the Zombie Apocalypse at night. Have you SEEN HOW MANY COME OUT? CRAZY!

Survive the Night in Planet of Cubes Multiplayer Survival

 

Planet of Cubes Multiplayer Survival Notes: Day 1

 Life in the woods isn't as bad as I thought. I think one of the major things I needed to do was have a plan. I mean really, I'm wandering around without any weapons, armor and most of all, food.

So there I was, looking out the window very far from the safe zone. I'm going as far as I can before I get killed and that means hopping from one safe house to the next. I don't know if they're safe houses but when you're in the Planet of Cubes Multiplayer Survival mode, every house is a safe house.One thing I had to remember this time unlike yesterday's adventure was to ensure that every hole was plugged.

These random constructions out in the Survival Mode are not complete, so you've got to inspect every area of the building before you go inside. Otherwise, you're going to wonder how that zombie or monster got inside the building and is killing you. Keep this in mind and you can survive the night. 

Craft immediately, but hunt hard for supplies during the day. Don't EVER travel at night if you're not equipped. It's just a deathwish that will have you sent back to the safe zone. I'm keeping a log of where I'm at just in case that happens. You should too.

The Bunny, my Roomate

 

So there I was running through the woods like a crazed fool. No armor, no weapons. 

In Planet of Cubes Multiplayer, you die quick. 

But I was lucky this night, coming across a few safe spaces for the lack of  better words. As I dove into one I came across this little guy. He gave me the oddest look like, "you really shouldn't be out here dude." And he was right. 

This is when i realized that I could survive in the live area - just build a few of these blocks and wait the night out. I'm sure people have been doing this for years anyway, especially those Minecraft veterans, however, I'm late to the dance you could say. This didn't last long - I fell down a hole, ended up outside the safe space, and was killed by a giant spider. I don't know if he got the bunny, but it was a funny surprise. 

Dinosaur Park at Avatar Island

 I had not visited Avatar Island in a few months, so I thought it would be cool to stop by (and take a break from being killed in Survival Multiplayer). Planet of Cubes users and servers never fail to surprise me. If you were wondering, yes. That's someone being attacked by dinosaurs. Not just any dinosaurs, but Velociraptors. Yes. Velociraptors.

And as you can see, they're getting it in when it comes to attacking this poor soul. This is different from the many structures I saw on Avatar Island in the past. I was shocked and yet laughing at the whole ordeal because you could tell the guy wasn't hugging the dino but getting owned by one. Now because this was somewhat outside the spawn chunk zone, I cannot tell you if this was a user creation or a server production. However, when you're cruising through Avatar Island on Planet of Cubes, this is one structure you should stop and take a look at - it really sticks out.

I know many Planet of Cubes users are all in when it comes to Survival Multiplayer, but be sure to stop back past the Creative side of the house so you can check out these structures. This creation was near a History Museum and a place with a deer head. I'll check that out more and get back to you on my findings.

Naked and Afraid: Don't enter the Survival area without gear!

Planet of Cubes players have probably figured out that you shouldn't enter the wiles of the Survival area without arming yourself.  And then there's me - a guy that's always trying stuff out and wondering what it's not working out for me. haha.

In my defense I had a fairly decent plan. I was going to head out to the Survival area, mine a little bit, and get back into the safe zone before the sun went down. However wasn't the case because I fell into a dark hole. By time I got back up to the top, the Sun had set. It was dark.

Here come the spiders!

Before I knew it, I was racing around trying to simply hide and stay alive. I had no weapon other than a wooden ax. No armor, nothing. Just out there in the woods feeling like a helpless deer.

And that's when I saw her.  Her blonde hair from a distance made me think, "Hey, maybe she'll help me." No. That was wrong, very wrong. She watched me. Just just kept turning in my direction, observing every move. As I eluded the spider she approached me, and began to attack! I did wonder however why she was out there in the first place. It was a very creepy feeling - knowing that some Planet of Cubes players are only out there to kill ignorant "Naked and Afraid" guys like myself who know better.

I learned some things after being stabbed in the back - literally: Watch the bulky areas, GET GEAR, and don't think alliances are that simple. A hunter is a hunter.  Planet of Cubes Multiplayer Survival will be an growing and learning experience.

May the odds forever be in your favor!
