Day Z brings people closer before making them blow each other away
A story from Day Z makes a strong case for bringing gameplay bringing players close together with saying a single word before making them blow each others brains out.
The image below is screencapped from 4chan, and I saw it on Twitter from Cliffy B. Now I'm used to hearing about or being a part of great random encounters in online gaming. Those time that by chance you find yourself teamed up with someone that rocks who you really want to send a friend request to but you don't want to seem too forward so you play it cool. That's what happened in the Day Z mod for ArmA 2 with these two guys before things went south in a very zombie apocalypse sort of way.
Here's the imgur link if you can't read this: i.imgur.com/KTuai.jpg
It's crazy to think that this didn't happen in a game but in a mod for a game, and in some way it speaks to the quality of the Day Z mod and the talent of the people who made it. We've seen mod teams turn into full time developers so who knows what happens for the guys behind Day Z. Any g1s have a cool story about random encounters in their online gaming?

no, you need arma 2 and opperation arrowhead. Right now until the 24th you can get both for $24 and then you can get the mod, which is free.

Just go to show... the game player is just as much a storyteller as the game designer...
That and /v/ isn't completely evil...

I would love to see someone make a movie out of this, made in the game of course but made to look cinematic.

Criken sort of did something like that when he played Day Z however it's mostly funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UyJn7Bi0vY

Now this is why I wish I had a PC capable of running Day Z.
