The golf analogy

[autoloon 285]

DayZ is a bit like the game of golf, in that it is mostly a competition with yourself, while also being very much a competition with others in a large playing field. 

 

Like golf, DayZ can be incredibly boring at times and always takes a really long time to progress through the game. 

 

A single critical error is enough to lose either game. 

 

Both golf and DayZ are notable for their unique brands of color commentary. 

 

Peace and quiet is highly valued in both games, and distracting chatter and background noise can mean the difference between victory and defeat. 

 

Both games have "hackers," and the differences in meaning are negligible. 

 

Sniping a target from 1km and getting a hole in one produce roughly the same effect. That is, reverse downward fist pump of victory. 

 

And finally, in DayZ sometimes you go up to a player and call "friendly." In golf sometimes you pick the wrong club.

Golf, like DayZ , is a day that can be spent in strenuous idleness.

Golf is a sport that rich white people play to flaunt their wealth.

 

DayZ is a game that socially awkward nerds play to mentally masturbate with their psychotic social issues.

Next time I walk up on someone looting a building...

 

"Mind if I play through?"

Lets not forget in golf and DayZ that the sand traps can have dire consequences.

Silence is golden.

 

When we play we use our huge arma2 community's TS, and sometimes people have to be yelled at.

Day Z is like golf, you do not beat it, you only play it.

I'm so going to yell "Fore!" next time I shoot someone in the face.

This....is oddly appropriate. Beans, sir.
