DayZ flash mob group staging raves, games, more shenanigans

Don't bring an AK-47 or a fire ax to a rave, unless it's DayZ .

. With millions of playersbuying into the early-access, standalone alpha of the zombie survival sim, it's safe to say a DayZ flash mob group was bound to surface. Founded back in February, the Steam grouphas been releasing videos of its meetups in recent days. You can check out one example below.

A lighthearted subversion of the game's more typical kill-or-be-killed experience of wandering and looting, the video is one of severaluploaded by the flash mob group. While I'd more likely be the guy sitting in the corner desperately trying to open a cold can of beans, there's a certain joyful goofiness to the flash mob that makes me smile. Other events captured by the group include a rap battle and a not-so-serious attempt to test the limitsof DayZ's simulated gravity.
