To keep DayZ or not?

Well, we were feeling pretty badly after DayZ nipped at three kids, yes THREE nips and I really felt like … 3 strikes and you’re out … both figuratively and literally. The first 2 were little nips and didn’t break the skin but a final growl and following nip last Friday night was the last [...]
