trimpampano 19 Posted July 15, 2014 I was browsing the DayZ subreddit when I came across this meme shown above. It got me curious and sparked a question, has DayZ caused anyone real world trouble? Well I am here asking you guys on the forum now. Have you ever had real world trouble while playing DayZ? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jesterarts 85 Posted July 15, 2014 Yes, with the wife. Couple weekends ago I think I put in a solid 8 to 9 hours and she was far from impressed.I would go as far as saying she was 'unimpressed', even moreso when I started sharing stories about my in game adventures over dinner.I think I need help... 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phL (DayZ) 63 Posted July 15, 2014 i work a lot in forests and after playing dayz constantly for a few days i got the "dayz scanning treeline and everything" paranoia at work. when i saw a deerstand i thought a few seconds about the loot i will find there.

Grimey Rick 3417 Posted July 15, 2014 Quite the opposite, actually. Y'see, DayZ allows me to vent otherwise dangerous emotions online in a harmless manner. Hell, without DayZ I'd be doing 5-10 for domestic abuse. I wish I had've been playing DayZ a few years ago... my overly vocal mother-in-law would still be with us. (They could never prove my whereabouts.) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sabre05 351 Posted July 15, 2014 This one time I walked down the road and saw a shifty looking guy. So I stood still, threw my hands up and shouted at the top of my lungs "FRIENDLY!" I only had blue jeans and a red T-shirt on, no weapons. Then I realised I was stood in Manchester, England. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grzech 50 Posted July 15, 2014 You need help! Lol no but really never pick video games over sexy time easy to say when you got 20-30 years and young, sweet wife. Trust me, after 40 it is not so obvious :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gearjammer 97 Posted July 15, 2014 I play with headphones, and my wife has heard a few one-sided interactions that could be considered quite negative. One such encounter involved a point blank execution of a corner camper that blasted me with a shotgun, ruining my clothes. I talked to him for a minute telling him that shotguns were broken, it didn't even make me bleed, etc. She walked in and only heard me telling the guy that he ruined my shirt, and then I shot him in the head. I got a little lecture about how the game brings out the worst in me and that I had just executed a stranger over a shirt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
