But to a goofball like me, H1Z1 provided frantic, humorous experiences one after another. Typically, the treacherous first hour in H1Z1 involves gathering firewood, foraging for scraps of food in the form of wild animals, and praying that no zombies catch your scent when night falls. H1Z1 drops players into a barren, zombie-filled forest, with only your wits, a torch, an axe, and the clothes on your back. Such is but one of the memorable moments possible in H1Z1, Sony Online Entertainment's foray into the open-world, zombie survival genre. And yes-God help me-I teabagged his corpse. I then brandished my torch, lit him on fire, and ran circles around him while he burned to death, his axe swinging frantically and futilely at my face. I warmly greeted the first person I saw in H1Z1's rural wasteland with a friendly wave.
