Identifyin' the Rockin'

Just an update on the weekend's shaker: according to the US government site, there were actually 4 quakes that day, and, unlike the Singapore site, which pinpointed it as being somewhere in Quezon.

Curiously it list TWO quakes at the start. I guess they determine this by the peaks of the intensity. Then there was another one three hours later, which I didn't feel.

Urban Dead: All Risen Up And Nowhere to Go

When I played yesterday, I was lucky to have gotten to a safehouse that was strongly barricaded with my last action point. When I logged on this morning, someone had PK'ed me, AND for some twisted reason, left me in the building, which was now HEAVILY barricaded.
So I had to claw my way out of the building to get to a revive point.
The story doesn't end there though: while destroying the barricades from the inside another human comes along and starts attacking me.
Great.
But I don't waste AP trying to gesture to him. At least after a while he realizes I'm not attacking him, so he leaves me alone, although if he had killed me first, I would have appreciated getting dumped out of the building.
When I ran out of AP, the building was lightly barricaded. Hope I'm out when I next log on.

Great Villain Design


The recognizability factor of Voldemort's features in the Harry Potter movies is so great that even when transplanted to someone like above, it's immediately obvious what they're implying.


And it's funny too. Picture from here, btw.

"It's The Thought That Counts"

If i give this shirt to someone, will they think know I'm mocking them or will they believe I'm agreeing with them?
