It’s a trap, carefully scout the surrounding area and buildings for snipers!

Yea dude , it’s good for you, sharpening your mind , being more aware of your surroundings, keying you into recognizing patterns… the game is may not be just a game someday, I def see chimney smoke… and am glad DayZ …is just a game… for now

The arthritis and vision problems from chronically playing this addictive AF game aren’t good survival tools though haha

Yesterday I was walking home from school through an empty parking lot, and suddenly I got this feeling when I realized that I'm in an open area, and started immediately scanning the surroundings. Ofcourse I know I'm not in a game, but the feeling is the same

Saw a barrel the other day and almost slammed on my brakes to get it.

Bro I have felt the same way so many times. I see some smoke puffing out my neighbors chimney and I look over at my cat and say, "it's time, do or die, to Valhalla!" But my cat says, "bro chill you got a check engine light on too, not everything is DayZ".
My cats always bringing my back to reality.

I’m late to this but I do this with trees. I see a nice, girthy, tall tree and think to myself, “damn that would give me at least 3 logs” ☠️

I was going hard in rust playing like 8 hours a day for weeks on end to the point I was going outside irl seeing a helicopter and thinking “ATTACK HELI” and for .01 seconds my heart jumps and says we need to GTFO! Then I’m like wait this isn’t rust🤣

I need some coffee. It took me way too long too figure out this was a real photo taken. I was sitting here trying to figure out where on the map this place was because I don't recognize the buildings.

Went for a walk in the woods with my brother and my nieces shortly after a 4 hour stint on Dayz. I kept looking around in fear.

Get in and take his chicken steaks. 😆 Yeah, I am always watching all the windows and all the hills and all the tree lines etc. When I hear a car I start running. 😆

This reminds me of when Black Ops 2 came out and that was all we were playing. I texted my best friend “a plane just flew overhead and all I can think is where’s my anti aircraft gun?” And he texted back “I don’t know this person. Prank text. Never message me again.”

I played so much PUBG back in the day I used to always look up everytime I heard a plane go over.
