- For a new challenge, I tried surviving in a single car in Project Zomboid with only the contents of a starter vehicle. Can anyone sustain life with food, water, and shelter here?

With a long enough stick, you can do anything....ANYTHING.
@@someasiandude4797 welcome to the car nation, or truck nation if you live in Texas or New Mexico
@@firstname4097 I live in California and there is a car crash every Sunday
Now the question to ask yourself is, "If every part is gradually replaced, is it still the same car?" Theseus' car
As long as the VIN is the same; yeah, totally.
Legally at least.
Lol
Vsauce, Michael here
I say yes.
Each time you replace a part, that part becomes a part of the car itself. Even if you change each part in turn, each one is becoming a part of the car and is thus still the same car.
Edit, since I made this posts I've heard two really good points:
1: What matters is the purpose, the history, the essence of thing, much moreso than its mere materials. Even if you were to replace the entire thing at once, as long as you are actively trying to stay true to those things then the result is it is still the original car. For example the Gold Pavilion Temple in Kyoto has burned down and been rebuilt several times, but every time they've rebuilt it they've fully committed to keeping the purpose, history and essence of it perfectly preserved, so it's still the same Golden Pavilion Temple. The west is too fixated on the materials themselves, when that's not the most critical part.
2: If you want a short and to the point version for answering the "Ship of Theseus" question, then it has two definitive answers:
A: If you're selling tickets to see it, then it is the original.
B: If you're selling the boat itself, then it's not and you don't tell the buyer that it's not in mint condition any more.

Car has been a symbol of liberty, this will be his prison.

Thou'th car once the key

Once thou'th world explored,
key to survive, is on the lord.

This video is just a long philosophical argument for Right To Repair. "If you put attention and care into your possessions they will last you a long long time. Preserve the things that matter to you.

I thought this void WAS about philosphy and then I realized wait its about a zombie video game lol
The famous Winston Churchill quote, "That night I raided the other cars for spare parts. Especially tires."
“I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tires, and sweat.”
I quite enjoy the sudden bursts of positive philosophy in middle of the zombie sim gameplay
This Guy brings smiles upon them who lissen to the most beautiful vocals that decents from the glorious entertainer
This channel is literally pioneering the popularity of this game, respects
Is it growing now? I haven't played it much since it first came out years ago but it was always a favorite gem of mine.
@@nickpurdy69 Yeah, it's reaching it's record peak concurrent players time and time again, with amphibous' videos, and now also people like northernlion.
Someone bought it for me and I think you're right. I'm getting warmed up to it.
I started playing the first time it came, as a demo or so, and then forgot it for a long while. A week ago, after watching couple of this guy's videos, I went through my HDD looking for an old copy or backup, but not finding anything I just bought it. First it came the frustration of not being able to survive more than a day or so, but I've learned from my mistakes and currently have a pretty nice base in one of those posh two-story houses in Muldraugh, south the road where Cortman Medical is. I am struggling to find seeds, and I lost in the house's first survivor my welder mask (a shame, considering I've got a propane torch and two tanks), he might be wandering over there, I hope I find it soon.
@@nickpurdy69 play it again man. All the updates has make it so much better

Ah this reminds me of the much-lauded "Skyrim without walking" challenge by ymfah

To be fair you could do it for a little bit by only relying on zombie drops and luring all of them to you but after you clear out the neighbourhood you'd be screwed

Sir, you're not playing Project Zomboid game you're just showing us a simulation of an average Joe's life in San Francisco
Nah the streets are too clean
Too few zombies
You guys have never been to sf huh there's plenty of zombies
Who is joe?
@@yuttermulek4569 Joe “Average Joe” Vossi is a notorious serial killer from the San Bernardino area. He was a fixture in the LA mob during the 1970’s into the early ‘90’s. He was also known for being made up by me, right now, for you. Hope that helps.
(pulls up to a zombie, rolls down window) "Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?"
"And if you think you can do better than me..."
"YOU'RE DAMN WRONG I'M GOOD AT IT, GET OUTTA HERE"

So inspirational
"Naturally I scratched myself on the groin" - groin injuries are disproportionate in the apocalypse.
Y'know, I never thought Project Zomboid would be so philosophical, but after watching most of the adventures of Worm Man and all of the roof-dwelling maniac, I'm convinced this is one of the best games for learning about the world and ourselves. When everything is terrible and it takes forever to not die to zombies, we truly do get a glimpse into ourselves. For in such a dangerous situation, at least we're safe inside our minds. And our cars.
Truth.
I was thinking the other day after playing PZ for probably too long: you cannot win. There is actually no way to "win" this game. Only you can decide if you have reached your goals. In a long enough time line survival drops to zero. No matter how you lived, you die like a dog in the mud, being eaten by the undead. All that you accumulated, all that inventory management... and then it is over and we are left to contemplate what it was all for...
Ambiguous is just the modern philosopher.
Never thought I’d watch a philosophical man play a zombie game and learn quotes that can help improve ones mind, yet here we are. Love it ambiguous, keep it up
I'd love to see him play the forest and spout philosophy while the cannibals SCREEEEEEEE in the distance.
9:35 Dude I think that's Ash Ketchum
That hat do be kinda Pokemon tho
I do love seeing my favorite UA-camrs watching the same videos that I do.
Thanks for this!
I love your project zomboid content especially, really brightens my day!
Glad to hear it - thanks!
Yeah same
Always enjoy your uploads to UA-cam, and I really enjoy PZ.
Yea I wish I could afford a PC I live vicariously through AA tho
@@illmaddox91 yeah same
This video is quite meaningful to me, being that I use vehicles for everything in the game, from transportation to shelter to combat. I remember my happiest moment was when I hotwired my first vehicle. Actually made a video of it.
My father passed away last week, and i know it sounds cheesy, but your video was prophetic to me, "to value and take care of what matters to you" this theme rings home extremely hard for me, as now im left with all his possessions, his home and vehicles, and these things matter so much to me now, they are things i cannot lose.
Sorry for your loss, keep good care of those things, and they will do the same just like they did for your father. My mothers offroader has 30 years now, keep good care and itll be fine.
When my dad lost his dad, he'd think of him as just out of sight. Like he'd gone into his shed to care for his birds or do some repairs. And if you look after his important possessions, it'll really feel that way. That he's never /*really* gone, he's just left for a while. All your memories of him will stay, and he'll always be just like he was in your mind.
In a way, everyone you know is in that same place. Once they leave your sight, they too are frozen in your mind.
@@trouty7947 Read that in amphibians voice, nicely writen
Im sorry for your loss friend. Things always seem to get better at some point. Although i wouldnt pretend to understand what you are going through. I hope everything is well.
First of all, my sincere condolences.
After reading your comment I couldn't help but remember AA's Gerald Williams videos where he would go on and on about "repairing his father's house". That, along with this video's lesson on caring for what you care about becomes oddly fitting.
Take good care of not only what your father left you with but also of yourself and the ones you love and I'm sure you'll make him proud.
My best wishes.
"I made my way up to 80 to save gas"
Ah yes, the American and European strategy
If that's a Dodge Dynasty analogue a wai - warm air intake - will help with fuel economy. And for the record 80kph is around 50mph, on most cars of that period 50-60mph is the most fuel economical speed.
American only*
@@cr4yv3n As if you're special.
@@CoralCopperHead??
@@rosiehawtrey it's surprising that it's set that fast, as usually the faster you go, the steeper the power required. It may be more accurate to say the car has been 'de-tuned' to run less efficiently at lower speeds, so that it will be more efficient at highway speeds. The window sticker doesn't care what your fuel economy is at 25mph, only 55mph. I think if they wanted to optimize for a lower speed, say 25mph, they could have much higher fuel economy ratings. (I don't know if air resistance follows the square law, but it's that sort of curve, the faster you go, the greater the percentage of power loss due to drag)

As a non native English speaker, your videos increase my lexicon. Thank you I shall say for all your philosophies and intelligence, dear sir Ambiguousamphibian.
dude i'm a native english speaker and i have no idea what the fuck a lexicon is.
@@florpyjohnson9531 Consider it a library of words and concepts in a language stored in your brain.
@@TayoEXE 'Lexicon' literally just the Greek word for dictionary. It's used in English as a loanword because old timey educated people loved using Greek and Latin to sound extra smart.
I would say that if you can move away from the car itself, it would be OP as hell.
You become a true nomad, the way our great great ancestors once were, always on the move to newer pastures, following their food and seeking a new home to settle on for a little while then move on once again, a never ending cycle.
Never ending until gas get stale
Even if you use ethanol, tires will rot after a few years
that's not OP, that's really risky
A rubber tramp as they are called. :)
Thanks for your effort! For pz newcomers like me, your content gives me ideas about how to survive
Glad you like them - thanks!
Honestly, watching this makes me want to do a migratory playthrough, moving around from place to place and not setting up a base, simply using whatever vehicle I have settled on as my mobile base, upgrading until I am travelling around in the 'best' vehicle and cruising around the map.
Then I remember that I suck at driving and hate how close the vision is, and I go back to hammering more boards onto my windows.
I randomly found this channel via the suggested tab. I've been going back and watching series and videos from 2018.... You've brought me so much interest in Project Zomboid that I ended up buying the game. I have all of 14 hours and I probably go thru 9 characters an hour but I'm having fun. Your story telling is unmatched. I'm so addicted to your channel as I'm not watching a UA-cam video I'm watching an actual Auto biography of your character. A movie of sorts. Thank you for creating such wonderful content.
Man this makes me want a wheelchair bound character even more
You monster. That's a great idea!
I love this, stairs would be inaccessible and you wouldn't be able to climb, which would be major disadvantages, not to mention the speed debuff
please tell me there's a mod
@@blueninja012 speed debuff? Imma tokyo drift that mf
cant move and attack at the same time
stairs can still be used when going down, just, very fast
Been wanting to do a "Van Down by the River" (in the words of the late, great comedian, Chris Farley) run for quite some time now. Here is the result - enjoy!
Lots of folks have asked about the music in these videos. I use a combination of Epidemic Sounds (recently became an affiliate of them - I greatly appreciate any use of my referral link if you're starting a trial: share.epidemicsound.com/3sMm7f ). In particular, a lot of the pieces I choose are either various bossa nova, or piano pieces, particularly by Trevor Kowalski and Megan Wofford, among others. Then there's UA-cam free music library and Shockwave Sound (requires a license) for many of the other classical pieces.
As always: FYI **This is the Build 41 IWBUMS beta branch of Project Zomboid available here: projectzomboid.com/blog/content/uploads/2019/10/iwbumshowto-768x486.gif
Damn
Your character development skills are phenomenal
12:55 "remember, there's always a chance to rekindle the relationship anew as long as there's still life". I do not know how these words are related to that, happening on the screen, but I am in a part of life right now, when I need these words. It was like an ointment to my sores. At the same time it was like a missing piece to my puzzle. You give me hope, Amphibian. I maybe not going to play PZ, but your videos, your philosophical wanderings are very inspiring. Wish me luck and thank you from my heart.
Glad it helped :)
This type of commentary and storytelling one may only find here at ambiguous amphibian. Always a great time watching these videos!
To be honest my dude I find your philosophical musings and challenges to be one of the more fun elements of any given day. Thanks for what you do my dude.
I would love to see you do a longer series like this, but you don’t need to be so restrictive with staying by your car. Just don’t travel so far from the car that you can’t see it.
It's impressive how you turned a zombie game into a life lesson
I know it seems a little tame in comparison, but an engineer play through would be cool. There are so many craftable traps and perks (recently learned at level 5 elec you can craft battery power lamps!), most people die before unlocking them (myself included). There is also a forage for worms and bait stick traps loop that can lead to sustainable food.
this zomboid content is exceptionally blessed, could watch these all day; looking forward to the next long playthough also whenever that comes :) love the vids and hope you're enjoying making them!
Your face.
I like the idea of a post apocalypse where everyone lives out of their car. Kind of like Mad Max Fury Road, except more about the long game survival and less about the going fast and hard.
I gotta say, I love the ingenuity of your newer zomboid challenges, it really keeps an old fave fresh. Not to mention that the one shot style keeps you from burning out!
This man could make paint drying sound like a philosophical teaching
Bob Ross? 👀
I though you just gonna live in a car, using it as place to sleep and storage.
But you took the challenge on a whole new level. 😄 Respect!
Do a “Can you survive as a God of Desctruction?” which means that every zombie you see must get immediately killed
That's gonna be the shortest run ever.
you might want to get a "Blind" trait for that one
I'm imagining him playing as a wheelchair-bound man with no wheelchair and whose only means of fleeing zombies was his car

I really loved the piano music in the background, with your words and a bit of humor, it was one of the best things happened to me today. Thanks for spending time on such a wonderful thing ❤️
This was more of a motivation talk than a video game let's play
just how well the strange amphibian knows the game and how he tells stories makes each of these feel like a realistic depiction of a FUBAR situation
i LOVE AA's voice, his narrations, his way of speaking, everything. a fly cant bird, but a bird can fly. why choose doors when you can break on through. lol
Video is 4 minutes old, 14 minutes long .. and already hundreds of upvotes. A man of grate taste somtimes knows quality just by the label.
I feel like Sunday Driver is a blessing in disguise for a run where you live out of a car. Sure, you're going to be restricting yourself in mobility, but slower speeds mean softer collisions, and softer collisions mean less overall damage to your lifeboat.
This man is like the bob ross of survival games
I love the ending there, "Try it, and if you think you can do better, your damn wrong! I'm good at it"
Should have started with a beaten up car one below 50% to make the series more hard but still a good idea!
I love your tired voice of a noir movie police officer who smokes a cigarette and sips whiskey in a dark room, thinking about some dark matters. And the goddamn Chopin in the background.
i just gotta say, your one of the fewest youtubers that i love to watch, your chill but yet funny and adventurous plus i love your vids. (im not trying to sound like a fan boy but your really just an answer dude) keep it up an loves the vids espically on project zombiod
Thanks, my friend :)
I have just started playing Project Zomboid and the last thing I expected in gameplays about it were these somewhat philosophical gameplays. And, even weirder, I find it silly that I did not correlate philosophy and this game together.
You are awesome, sir. Never change.
*Massive depression?* *Crippling pain?* Just put on an AA video, it's a welcome distraction and makes getting through the days easier.
Thank you AA.
If only it were that easy kind sir/mam/person.
@@illmaddox91 It's not a fix, just a distraction. I'm sure you understand.
This content is A+. Your new editor is a god damn gemstone. Hold on to them. I still miss how plentiful the old stuff was, but this stuff is worth the wait.
To editor: thank you for not appealing to ADHD teenagers
Bumping my own comment because get money, dollar dollar bill y'all.
Haha, actually I edit them all :)
Much appreciated!
Just last week, I watched my nephew glued to his tablet watching a video, curious to see what had his attention I found that he was watching people play a video game, fortnite he said it was called... and I could not understand why he enjoyed it so much. Now, I have watched consecutively a whole bunch of your videos and rather enjoyed the time! Your narration is what wins it for me, the synchronization to the gameplay is really nicely done!
I'm very glad you've decided to do some zomboid challenges despite your previous decision to wait for the multiplayer update for the 41 build.
I've only recently found your channel, but your content is phenomenal - your zomboid videos being my favourite. Would you ever consider trying hydrocraft out for a series? I don't know how good a video it would make for, it being so ludicriously (tediously) in-depth, but I think if anybody could make a good series out of it, you would be the one!

You are honestly a philosopher of our time sir. I thank you for these lessons and reminders. Allowing me to stay focused in life on what really matters and gain more of an appreciation for the little things
I know the over-philosophizing is a funny gimmick, but "if you can forge your mindset to that of a sustainer, a preserver, you'll be a worthy steward of the things that matter to you, and they'll long outlast your guardianship" is genuinely one of my favorite lines ever. Thank you, ambiguousamphibian, truly.
*before pressing play*
Oh, nomad gameplay is fun! Always on the road, looting never setting up a permanent base...
*starts watching video*
Oh... oh no.....
A couple things I'd like to see in Project Zomboid in the future.
1. RVs for a home-on-the-go.
2. Bulldozers for clearing highway wreckage.
3. Blankets to help players keep warm when the temperature gets really low.
A car nomad would be pretty interesting.
Wanted to suggest a challenge : 60 seconds, you have only this time to loot for each building.
I like to imagine that you are a character from the Pixar Cars movie series, it makes this hilarious, especially you referring to your character in first person.
Oh my god, this must have been so annoying. You are truly a man of focus, dedication and sheer fucking will.
you should make this an entire series but with the RV Interior mod so you can have a literal house inside your car (or bus, semi, etc)
I just found you channel like a week a go and I love your videos keep it up 👍
'if you think you can do better....' lol
This video was a ton of fun. Thanks for all the time you spent on it! I know the car alignments had to be tedious.
You made me fall in love with this game sir , I love your content !
I’m in between jobs and hearing you say if you spend your life worrying how can you enjoy it. And dude I needed that. Thank you
Bloody love these videos, especially now that I'm turning over a new leaf in my life, Ambiguous' poetry has become way more impactful. BTW, niche is pronounced "knee-shh" not "nitch". Anyway, keep up the great work, have been loving these videos for a long time now!
"And if you think you can do better, your wrong. I'm damn good at it, get outta here." Thank you A.A. for all the smiles and laughter.
Love that voice of yours
@@EEEEEEEE E
Somehow this reminds me of this fountain pen I have. Usually you buy pens by the dozen and discard them just as easily when they run out. With this fountain pen I bought when it runs out I replace the cartridge. Having it last for a lot longer than any other pen I used before. If need be, I may even try and swap or fix the tip. Even if it's a small thing, it can be quite satisfying having something to keep and take care of. And in turn, you will have something familiar to serve you for a long time.
Thank you for the video, I was looking forward to hear some philosophy from you
I feel like every single pz video amphibian does is just a compilation of an actual zombie apocalypse survivor learning lessons and creating philosophical discussions with himself while some video game footage plays in the background
just wanted to say I love your content! was wondering if you made your own thumbnails and if you edited all your videos yourself? anyway, have a good day and keep up the great work!
Thank you! Yup - still all a one-man show :)
I applaud your use of Satie's Gymnopedie no. 1 in this piece.
Thank you for uploading
I like that pure stream of thoughts. And the way your videos are filled with existential and melancholic pounders about the nature of life, relationship, work, struggle, joy, meaning, sense of direction is really...cozy. Like being at the place where you are accepted and understood.
You do realise that some people watch you content to hear the things they need to hear but too afraid to say by themselves?
Anyways - your videos are great. I like you making up some original and idiotically genius challenges to try yourself. And glad that you provide us with content that has two separate, but both great, sides.
Thank you.
I finally subscribed to you btw. You are awesome. Make more carman videos)
Never change
I discovered your channel from Kevin's PZ video. your philosophical shitposting on the canvas of hard and tedious games has been one of the most unexpectedly enjoyable things I've ever experienced. oh frabjous day! callooh, callay.
Ambiguous: *survives insanely stacked against challenges*
Me: *dies before the first night comes*
Imagine doing a mrbeast challenge during a zombie apocalypse 💀
7:21 the first time he breaks the "crawling on the car" RP. He's actually sitting BESIDE the car for real this time.
Came from Kevin, stayed for the philosophical conversation and immensely entertaining commentary. I only wish they were longer 😂
the mental image of a man spidering out of a window and clambering over the hood of his car, rambling philosophical musings about the impermanence of existence amidst a sea of zombies, has sustained me for yet one more day
This thumbnail cracks me up. CAR. Yep, it's a car alright
I love the way he phrases his words, and how he has this philosophical sense about him. I really enjoy watching his videos and just listening to his calming voice 😌💕 keep up the great work Ambi, you're doing god's work out here
He always takes these challenges to the extreme! When I read car only, I figured he’d just not live in any houses, or maybe at most just keep it on screen…
So I never played this game but I love these videos.
Can you build a boat base? Get a large boat. Put a lot of dirt for plants and just live in the middle of a lake? I think you can fish.
This is like the stereotypical Dealership game advisement; Last one touching the car gets to own it.
Sadly, later that day the zombie apocalypse happened, and AA ain't no quitter. He just needs to find the dealer so he can sign for his prize.
You're like mad max who reached his plains of silence

I'd say this strongly follows stoic philosophy. So long as you have a car, the mind is unbrakeable. And diogenes would be walking backwards in his grave watching you manoeuvre around your four wheeled hunk of mettle and combustion Chambers like that without a care I'm the world!
I didn't expect you to actually always stay in contact with the car, but I should not have expected anything less from The Amphibian
