Don't Starve: It's a game-thing

I only got the game a few days ago, so my highest record is only 8 days, which is a bit embarrassing, although I guess that isn't entirely fair to say (I got pineappleed over by being unlucky enough to have 2 Treeguards spawn on me at the very beginning of your set-up period, I stood no chance). My friend's record is 28 days, so once I start it up again, that's what I'm aiming to beat.

When I first started (During the Winter Update) I think I died after a few days, then I started fighting to get past Days 15~17. After that I was able to dominate and got to 70+ before using the Wooden Thing. Rain Update made the game a lot harder I feel and so far I'm struggling to make it to winter again.

I think the only thing I'd say I'd like to see improved is the combat system. I'd like to see mods in the future adding new weapons to spice things up if anything else. Also, apparently the devs are planning to have each character able to use a special skill to help differentiate them from one another, so that should be interesting as well.
