This Psycho Will Keep Me From Ever Returning To ‘DayZ’

Published

on

After watching this unnerving video, recorded by a player who had a run-in with a stranger who was most definitely disturbed, I’ve made the easy decision to never again play “DayZ”. Or, at least not for a while. This is one of the creepiest things I’ve ever seen in a game. Apparently, some unfortunate player unknowingly walked into a goddamn horror movie while doing whatever it is people do for hours and hours in the newly released “DayZ” standalone.

I mean, freaky stuff like this is bound to happen in a game that’s sold well over a million copies, but that doesn’t make it any less unsettling to watch.

Thankfully, all of the murderous players I encountered during my first playthrough of the game were of the violent and silent type. If any of them had switched on creepy music and started walking slowly toward me with axe in hand, I’d probably be in therapy right now.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
