While Gerald Williams was meant to struggle, Gerald McWilliams was meant to dominate. I think his philosophy is going to be more active and optimistic this time around. Can't wait!
Behold - Gerald McWilliams of the positive traits! Here we begin the "Winter is Coming" Project Zomboid Challenge (I may have begun the snow earlier for fun). Hope you're in a winter mood... FYI **This is the Build 41 IWBUMS beta branch of Project Zomboid available here: projectzomboid.com/blog/content/uploads/2019/10/iwbumshowto-768x486.gif
When worm man died, his body was too restless to simply decay. He was absorbed into the earth, and reborn as the one, the only, Sir Gerald McWilliams! His endless work ethic and belly of undigested worms and potatoes served to empower him during his rebirth, making him decidedly not nearly as shit as he was in his previous tortured and and burdened life. This rebirth did not sit well with the great mother earth, however! She recoiled at this utter disregard of her rules, and begat the worlds greatest wave of cold on history, blanketing the world in snow. Can Gerald survive in this harsh world full of snow and undead, much like his against the odds ancestor worm man, or will he be reclaimed by mother nature and cast back to his rightful place, the grave? Only time can tell. Gerald does not age, and as such he only faces mortality through numbing cold and the shredding, gnashing teeth of those he once called friends...
Man... You need to make a novel based in this series, like really, I would 100000% read and I am not kidding. It would be really cool zero to hero story with great character development the only hard thing would be giving him a personality....
@@arthurmaciel7357 an ancestory epic of a deathless man who is eternally reborn to fight the same apocalypse, but with different challenges each time Worm man is Gerald as well as every other zomboid character Amphibious has ever played as. He would always have the same personality. A man wracked with guilt from seeing everyone die whilst he never can. A sort of survival guilt, maybe?
@@starlight4649 definitely!! I think that a little of grouth would be necessary but I don't think it would be much just a little less dispair and a little more detached with each reincarnation.
@@arthurmaciel7357 and then finally, with this latest reincarnation, he finally puts his all in again for one final battle against nature itself, just so he can finally reach the end. Only mother nature can end his torment, basically. Worm man would be the first incarnate, of course. A mistake that came about on the earth because of some dysfunction, awaking at the same time as the zombies. Each incarnation gets progressively more cohesive, up until the first Gerald, who is thrown the hardest start of all because he grew too powerful. After this, Worm man would be dissuaded from trying anymore until his final battle with the universe itself as the second Gerald!
@@starlight4649 yes, Yes, YES! Lets hope he continues to make another challenges and stuff so if he doesn't the story ends but if he continues Gerald would fall to the ground with hate at the world trying to find why this is happening making a sub plot on the challenges.
30 seconds in and Gerald has already unlocked the secrets to quantum physics, allowing him to phase through solid objects. This is going to be a good series.
Gerald has transcended the garbage state of being an incredibly flawed human to a form of pure perfection. Watches the bane of former Gerald now just appear to him out of respect.
There's _snow_ way he can be stopped now. _Ice_ see no way that this can go wrong. Gerald McWilliams just needs to stay _frosty_ and he'll do just fine.
Gerald Williams, the chrysalis, has broken open. And Gerald McWilliams, like Perfect Cell, has emerged. His Tournament, the frozen world. His Goku, loneliness.
May Gerald McWilliams succeed, where Gerald Williams had failed, the world is flush with opportunity, and the keys are in his possesion, so move, move with the shadows, move with the winter, and be victorious against the enemy. Great video, your editing and poetic rumination is on point as always.
Starting the year off with the successor to Gerald Williams. What more could a man ask to fend off the existential ennui? It truly is succor for the lost souls of this mortal coil.
Super excited for this series man. Me and the misses love watching your content together. That soothing voice, dry humor, and spongebob references. Pure bliss.
They added a new feature to Spears, You can now CHARGE with them. If you sprint with a spear in hand, you'll level it forward. Once you do, the first zombie you run into will have the instant kill animation played.
You managed to scrape off with all the negatives, this will be a walk in the park. I do am looking forward to the philosophical ramblings of a zombie apocalypse survivor.
I love the project zomboid gameplay, although it is funnier watching you struggle with the terrible characters lol. It is nice to see goals being met faster than in the bad character videos. Thanks for the awesome content
Gerald Williams crawled and drew all the world's misfortune to himself, so that Gerald McWilliams may run around the meadows of happiness and know only ease.
You, my friend, are a well read individual. I just got done watching all your zero to hero( hardest start) challenge , subscribed to you somewhere in the middle and now I’m almost caught up to the current uploads. It has been great 👍🏼 . Thanks for the entertainment.
A little backstory. From the moment Gerald ascended he lost all negative in his body and became god of project zomboid adding Mc to his second name. He ascended into previous segment of hell - frost. So he must be known as McWilliams, the legend of hell now.
*Swole Gerald Williams:* Though I walk in the shadow of the valley of death, my quest for enlightenment will be my salvation. *Cheems Gerald McWilliams:* nooo not winter apocalypse, i am so cold and so so afraid
With the way this playthrough is starting I'm expecting our new hero to have skills eclipsing batman and an automated solar powered zombie killing device created by the end of episode 2.
There’s a mod on the workshop that changes zombie behavior to where they retreat indoors during the day, only venturing out at night. I don’t know if you’ve used it in a previous series, but it completely changes how I have had to approach looting and surviving. You can change the settings so they’re docile during the day and only shamble, however once the sun sets they set off sprinting like an Olympic medalist. Combine that with enabling zombies to break player-made structures and you’re in for an...interesting time. Really fun, until you walk into a 2x2 tile shed that holds 50 zombies somehow. Keep up the good vids, btw!
Is the zero to hero playthrought about the story of Geralt Duffle Bag Williams the worm man, the hash slinging slasher, tax evader, morgage killer, pipe man, car jacker, poet, philosipher, holy man, bridge builder, farmer of cabbage and metal and overall embodiment of the human race very will power to persivere and see the light in the darkest then lose it and be fine with it. Over?
I know it's late but I'm pretty sure it's because it moves so quickly that he does it to avoid aggravating people who may have epilepsy or things of that nature
Not sure why this was recommended to me. I don't play zombie games, in fact, I don't play that much games nowadays. I'm glad to have found your channel though. Your narrations are quite entertaining.

"Knowledge is power" He says as he becomes one with a bookshelf, becoming knowledge himself - Gerald McWilliams 2021
happy new years!!!
Little does he know that a bane of the fittest is Boredom that lurks under some random bed.
He is power
Knowledge is power and most of the people are powerless.
@@PapaFlashFlud Happy new year in advance.
You said happy new years, so I'm counting this one as well*
Gerald McWilliams is the butterfly to Gerald Williams' cocoon. Gerald assendant, Gerald perfected.
And Irish.
Or maybe Scottish.
Why not both?
Irish, Scottish would be Mac
May the road rise to meet you...
Did Gerald Williams die and I missed it??
@@RequiemPoete no probably just burnt out from the series go watch episode 16 it's the last one so far
In Scotland, "Mc" translates to "son of"
Is it canon that this is the son of Gerald Williams?
Out here asking the real questions
Would his name be Gerald McGerald?
@@haroldbalzac6336 AA lost the opportunity to name him “Williams Gerald”.
Yes
Cool
Gerald Mc Williams is just Gerald William's reincarnation. Doomed to forever repeat history in a never-ending loop of zombie slaughter
True, but having clawed his way up from the dirt, he’s earned his place as Positive Trait Man.
Gerald Williams is kind of like Jim Pickens
Ah yes, the ever elusive Southern Gothic reboot of Higurashi.
@@valumtimes Yo, Higurashi is fuckin great! Been loving the reboot so far
Oh hi Pr1vate Lime!
AA has such an interesting way of narrating games. It's like I have a buttery smooth poetry narrator in my brain for 12 minutes. Splendid
Thanks, my friend!
@@ambiguousamphibian I love the way you speak
Indeed! It is lovely.
@@ambiguousamphibian AA's voice reminds me of SwaggerSouls or ZeFrank.
Better than those boring ass Minecraft 100 days challenge videos
Gerald lookin’ fine
it’s confirmed, gromek is an aa fan
It must be noted in the aa lore
Wasn't aspecting you here
The mordhau man himself watching pz
First I see gromek on tf2 vids, now on project zomboid. I guess Mordhau is in the grave already.
The heir of Gerald, the Heirald, if you will.

Thank you i asked for this you will live forever
Happy New Year
Inb4 McWilliams dies from misadventure long before the original.
@@TheodoreIchabod The irony. His overconfidence takes him. In a game where you only die from unnecessary risks, a man lives life on the edge.
The descendant or reincarnation of Gerald Williams; Harold Jillians. McWilliams is better though

The real question here:
Will Gerald's son rebuild his father's house?
I was a survivor like you. Till people like AA and private lime decided to take the wheel.
🙄
I was blessed with a heart, but now I know.... he’s watching-
I read this in AA's voice 😂🤣😂
"We are going to need Worm clothing to survive."
and I flicker the lights, "Nosferatu!"
I had to resist saying that
30 seconds in and Gerald has already unlocked the secrets to quantum physics, allowing him to phase through solid objects.
This is going to be a good series.
Gerald has transcended the garbage state of being an incredibly flawed human to a form of pure perfection. Watches the bane of former Gerald now just appear to him out of respect.
Now this is a _cool_ challenge, pretty _chill_ and stuff, and Gerald McWilliams seems like an _ice cold_ killer with all those traits :P
*S t o p*
There's _snow_ way he can be stopped now. _Ice_ see no way that this can go wrong. Gerald McWilliams just needs to stay _frosty_ and he'll do just fine.
Not cool dude, not cool.
*N🅾️*
My headcannon is this is what Gerald eventually turns into after so long in the apocalypse. He just becomes so good at pretty much everything.
Dude the parallelism with this and the first episode of your last series had me dying.
"Notoriously the least difficult start"
Haha...erm...
Gerald Williams, the chrysalis, has broken open. And Gerald McWilliams, like Perfect Cell, has emerged. His Tournament, the frozen world. His Goku, loneliness.
This is a prequel this man is gerald willian's badass father
I love this idea
Need to rebuild my father's house.
@@ambiguousamphibian As stated by a previous comment MC means “son of” so McWilliams is his Son
Why is his son so disappointing
@@magnustheman524 this is why Gerald Williams wanted to rebuild his father's house. He wanted to respect his father's memory.
May Gerald McWilliams succeed, where Gerald Williams had failed, the world is flush with opportunity, and the keys are in his possesion, so move, move with the shadows, move with the winter, and be victorious against the enemy.
Great video, your editing and poetic rumination is on point as always.
Haha, my pleasure!
Headcanon: Gerald McWilliams is Gerald Williams' Grandfather, and zombie apocalypses are weirdly common in their home county
Gerald heard our calls and reincarnated in his perfect form for us.
Starting the year off with the successor to Gerald Williams. What more could a man ask to fend off the existential ennui? It truly is succor for the lost souls of this mortal coil.
Gerald makes life worth living. May his journeys always be joyous.
can't wait for several play throughs later when we finally get to meet Prof. Gerald O'Connell MacWilliams III Esq.
Super excited for this series man. Me and the misses love watching your content together. That soothing voice, dry humor, and spongebob references. Pure bliss.
Haha, thanks my friend!
why not make a temperature pun for the titles like "Hero vs absolute zero"
Puns like... "Project Zomboid ABSOLUTE ZERO to HERO Challenge #1"
They added a new feature to Spears, You can now CHARGE with them.
If you sprint with a spear in hand, you'll level it forward. Once you do, the first zombie you run into will have the instant kill animation played.
So glad you're finally doing a super playthrough from the start!
I love seeing Gerald no longer struggle, even if he's a spiritual successor 😂 McWilliams shall inherit the Earth!
I wish you a happy new year, and I wish 2021 to be as good as Gerald McWilliams build.
Same to you my friend!
I have a feeling gerald williams is now watching these events over from the "astral plane"
Seems like the difference between the lucky and unlucky traits is way bigger than I thought! Love the video!
Calling it right now, next project zomboid character gonna be named William McGerald or Gerald McGerald
The story of Gerald Gerald, son fo Shannon Shannon
I truly enjoy your commentary, it might not make alot of sense but it is soothing and a nice insight into someone elses mind
I'm so happy to see more Zomboid - I only wish the episodes were three or four times longer lol. Though I'm guessing the editing takes a long time
The effects of the wind in the trees and the wind and snow looks amazing. I love this game.
"He is like the heir of Gerald Williams"
You mean.... Heir-ald Williams?
This is still my favorite series on UA-cam of all time. I come back and rewatch it just for the poetry.
Your vids remind me of the good ol days and fill me with nostalgia ❤ much love.
I thought he got a skillshare sponsorship when he was asking about how we wanted to learn skills at 6:35
i'd love to see some lategame zomboid with this char! hope we see him grow as we had the people had seen before us.................
You managed to scrape off with all the negatives, this will be a walk in the park. I do am looking forward to the philosophical ramblings of a zombie apocalypse survivor.
"Sofas are a decadence that distract the soul from spiritual fulfillment. Reject the sofa, return to floor sit." -- Gerald McWilliams
The energy this man has is astounding, luxuriously blissful.
Subscribed.
Looking forward to Mr. McWilliams' endless search for meaning, nightsticks, and butter.
"and with a little training he can open doors". god i dont know why that made me laugh as hard as it did
I can't wait for the crossover of Gerald Williams and Gerald McWilliams where both have an existential crisis
I love the project zomboid gameplay, although it is funnier watching you struggle with the terrible characters lol. It is nice to see goals being met faster than in the bad character videos. Thanks for the awesome content
As GeraldMcWilliams bears witness to the season of decay, he reflects on the struggle of his forefathers. Ass to ass, butts to butts.
Your Zomboid stuff is top notch. Love it x10!
Behold...the first video of this 2021
as always, a video full of knowledge and wisdom
Awesome.
Can't wait to watch all your new series in this new year.
The Long Dark Project Zomboid Edition
Gerald in terms of starter stats and traits, is straight up just Forrest Gump.
The "Mac" before the name means "son of" which means... GERALD GOT LAID
I like that the entire video seems like an intro
Gerald Williams crawled and drew all the world's misfortune to himself, so that Gerald McWilliams may run around the meadows of happiness and know only ease.
You, my friend, are a well read individual. I just got done watching all your zero to hero( hardest start) challenge , subscribed to you somewhere in the middle and now I’m almost caught up to the current uploads. It has been great 👍🏼 . Thanks for the entertainment.
This was not a UA-cam video, it was a masterpiece
A little backstory.
From the moment Gerald ascended he lost all negative in his body and became god of project zomboid adding Mc to his second name. He ascended into previous segment of hell - frost. So he must be known as McWilliams, the legend of hell now.
Gerald McWilliams is Gerald Williams' avatar after he ascended into Godhood in the year 2034 and after Williams restarted the world in the year 2050.
Im so happy to see project zomboid come back so quickly
Keep up the good work man!
Thanks for helping us start our new year philosophically, may good fortune rain down on you like unto manna from the heavens good sir
I don't think I'm emotionally prepared for another new Project Zomboid playthrough ha ha
A new year and a new video! Thank you!
*Swole Gerald Williams:* Though I walk in the shadow of the valley of death, my quest for enlightenment will be my salvation.
*Cheems Gerald McWilliams:* nooo not winter apocalypse, i am so cold and so so afraid
I'm loving the sudden and abrupt hello with the zoom in at the start of every video lol
AA, consider SS13. Cataclysm is often compared to SS13 and Nurse, who I suspect you know because you two play the same games, had some fun with it.
I am forced to believe the dislikes are from those upset they tapped the wrong video. You are the most cultured of men and that alone deserves a like.
Haha, thanks - God bless!
Ah, Gerald Williams trend the path of suffering to ensure a prepared journey of his heir in this world. Beautiful
With the way this playthrough is starting I'm expecting our new hero to have skills eclipsing batman and an automated solar powered zombie killing device created by the end of episode 2.
I like how Gerald just always casually just sits in the freezing cold for minutes.
All that was needed is just a humble lucky trait
A humble trait, eh?

Keep up the good vids, btw!
"Posted 1 minute ago" never been so fast before
Yesssssssss. I subscribed to him because of Zomboid! What a great start for a new year!
Forget not the tale of Gerald Williams Jr.
The all positive trait character with sprinter zombies who can open doors
...Perhaps one day
i absolutely loved the project zomboid series and wanted to see more, im absolutely ecstatic that you are playing this again

Over?
Ah thank you for setting down all these epithets in one place my friend.
And only beginning!
Your videos have re-sparked my interest in PZ! Can't wait to start playing again :) love your narration!
Awesome.
You have successfully made the easy mode for the game, yet not boring like most easy modes. Well done with the content man
Yes
gotta say. these recent zomboid videos are pure gold
Your goal should be to become max lv and ascend to godhood
Ah I like this - always helps to have a good end goal
Yeah, AA def needed a series like this, after all the hard ones before it's nice to chill out with something much more standard.
Why does he blur out the starting portion of the patreon credits?
I know it's late but I'm pretty sure it's because it moves so quickly that he does it to avoid aggravating people who may have epilepsy or things of that nature
Happy new year AA! Another year of yor vids is a nice thought!
What was with a chunk of patrons being censored?
I think probably there was a specific name that was censored, I want to know which one it was
@@thrawnnoconnection6931 ye that seems reasonable. Maybe creepy guys name or something stupid.
"Not even 10 minutes into the video and I already have a car."
Me: *Watches him run over some Zombies* And a new hood ornament apparently.
Question, how come the patrons were blurred out?
Been looking for this comment for like 20 minutes
Yes very odd. I guess we will never know
You can hold shift and scroll through containers instead of clicking them! A little tip
Why the censoring of some of your patrons?
"He's strong, He HaS bUtTeR!" I shouldn't of laughed but I did
