Weather watching in The Long Dark

No survival necessary

While playing the sandbox survival mode of The Long Dark [official site] I often feel the urge to share the beauty of the in-game sky and weather effects, or just the really lovely sense of time passing. Screenshots conveyed some of the magic, but not really the desolation or the subtle shifts so instead I've opted for videos. They're from different times of day and different weather and light conditions. It's only a fraction of what's in the game but the video has the added bonus of you not needing to wonder whether you're about to die of hypothermia or wolves or food poisoning or any number of other things!

Enjoy...
