I just thought that it would be kinda interesting to have a thread to share interesting, funny, or just generally noteworthy stories from the entire genre of Survival/Survival Horror. I guess I'll start.
Recently, I began playing Project Zomboid once again, and let me tell ya, it is much harder than I remember. My first game revolved around a lovely man named Joshua Perez. Joshua is not very skilled when it comes to staying alive. On his first day, he managed to anger a horde of about 20+ zombies. Since the only weapon he had on him was a golf club, he decided to run into the forest in an attempt to lose the horde. As it turned out, this was not a very good idea. Joshua became lost for two days, and only survived by coming across an old logging complex, and looting the vending machines inside. However, he was now in the middle of nowhere. After trekking along backcountry roads for the better part of a day, he finally came across a highway. He was excited, since with highways, came buildings, and with buildings came food. His joy was short lived however, when he noticed the large horde of zombies that had spotted him. In a panic he ran -- you guessed it -- back into the forest. Unsurprisingly, he became lost again.
This was when I gave up on poor Joshua. Maybe he's still roaming in the forest. Maybe he's dead. I suppose we'll never know...
