It's been too long since we've celebrated some of the funniest and freakiest frag videos on the internet. But every New Year brings new games and new videos along with it. So for the first time in 2014, here's a collection of some of the better movies floating around the web.

DayZ Standalone

Apart from selling like hotcakes, the Kiwi-born zombie survival simulator DayZ (now in standalone form!) is a fantastic study in the utterly bizarre behaviour of humans. With zombies a minor concern compared to the ambushes and traps other players lay, it's a wonderful proving ground for hilarity.

Warning: some of the videos below contain varying levels of profanity.

DayZ's environment, as you can see, leads to some strange behaviour. Others fully imbibe the apocalyptic nature of the wasteland, give in to their inner madman and record the carnage for all to enjoy.

Given that supplies are so crucial in the DayZ universe, it's understandable that a good deal of burglary goes on. But it's not always so straightforward.

Of course, there are plenty of opportunities to show the depth of human kindness too.

Well, to try to, anyway.

Battlefield 4

Despite the mile-long patch notes and the millions of forum posts complaining about bugs, server crashes, rubber banding and every other glitch under the sun, thousands of gamers are still driving tanks, flying helicopters and firing shoulder-mounted missiles day in and day out.

The scope and size of Battlefield has meant there's plenty of room for all kinds of gameplay: great frags, funny moments and the odd bug. Here are some of the more recent videos, including one that outlines some of the upcoming changes and another with an intriguing war story.
