Frustration returns...

[vfxtodd 125]

In yet another brilliant turn, I hide my backpack thinking its getting in the way of my crawling under a wall. I realize I still can't crawl under the wall. So, I go back to retrieve my backpack. Lo and behold, the game won't let me grab it. It's hovering right in front of me. But, I can't get it.

A few minutes pass, and I realize most of my important gear was in the backpack. My knives, my fireplace, can opener, etc. So, now I have to find something to cut up a chicken. I discover I am way up north, miles from anything resembling a town that may have loot. I punch and kill a chicken and then a rooster. But, I still have nothing to cut them up with. I am yellow health. I decide, screw it, I'm going to switch servers and hope I spawn near another town that might have something for me. I spawn, find a hacksaw, and kill a chicken. Suddenly, I am unable to open my inventory or access my quick bar. I don't know if I can use a hacksaw to cut up a chicken, but it doesn't matter anyway since I can't access it.

I eventually find a small military compound, and fight off a couple infected zeds. I am red health, dying of starvation. Screw it. I die.

DayZ is so disappointing sometimes. I had this character for a few weeks. I was really enjoying it. Only to die to bugs.

Now, I've respawned in the middle of nowhere and my character is freezing to death. Lovely.
