Herd of Cats

This is Coxxorz's fault

"Damn, if we’re first to post all the hive locations, think of how many people will visit our site!"

Well, we are probably not first but...

Herd of Cats' Guide to the Call of Duty: Ghosts Eggstra Nemesis Achievement

Amazingly enough, all of these hives were found without resorting to Google. We setup a private map and wandered around randomly peeking in corners until we found the hidden hives. Subzero and Dynasty were easy enough with Dynasty taking the least time. Goldrush took a few visits but was relatively obvious to spot. Showtime was not easy in any way. With it being the smallest map I was expecting it to be the quickest. It was not. It was the most convoluted to get to and took the longest to find. But we (Herd of Cats) did find it on our own. Which impressed us if no one else.

Enough complaining, here we go!

This is a plea for help. I am painting my whole house on Saturday and Sunday. So far, 2 people have answered the call and I am afraid we will burn out if we don't get a few more. If you want to help, flag me and come for a few hours. My new house is at the end of the OTrain (Greenboro) and is walking distance from there.

You can help with rolling, cutting, painting trim, cleaning rollers and brushes, stirring paint, making snacks, moving drop cloths, etc.
You won't have to move any furniture as the house will be bare.

Thanks

Well, not a loaner this time, but the same garage. One month later.

First off, everyone involved is fine.

Secondly, I was not involved in this in any way. Except by referring the mechanic. Again.

Thirdly, it was an emergency repair. If you define emergency as leaving oil trails from Farrhaven to Pinecrest Mall. And from the local Timmies to the garage nearest my house. Noticeable oil trails.

It was essentially a Father and Son LAN but it was still a success

This past Tuesday, August 5th, we hosted a family LAN in our basement. Technically Rolly hosted it and Guba and I just got to do all the work.

The idea came randomly. Stormblade Jr. was in the middle of his annual summer visit and we (and the Graybush clan) had just been visiting him in Arundel. Coming out of this was the idea to get the adult HoC Members and the kid HoC members together for the same LAN party. Playing the same game. But what games could we all play and all enjoy?

After hours and hours of intensive testing we came up with Burnout Paradise and Motocross Madness. Burnout Paradise everyone is familiar with and Motocross Madness happened to be this month's free Games with Gold.

For a Herd of Cats' Movie Night

The above image isn't finished but it is close enough. I forgot about it and then the movie opened. Well. Today. Guardians of the Galaxy is now out!

As you could probably tell from the number of Guardians of the Galaxy posts I am interested in seeing it. How could a movie starring a raccoon and a tree possibly be bad?

If others are interested I figure this is a good a time as any to get HoC together to go and see a film.

417. This morning.

Guba was so very close to escaping when they held her up to finally move the truck. Her possibly sarcastic comment was "It's going to be that kind of day!"

The official leaked Deadpool movie test footage

Yes it is as awesome as you would think.

CAUTION: extremely violent and a little sweary.

Like there wasn't enough reason to hate EA

If you buy a $400,000 house in TDU2 it comes with its own cat

My avatar with the new cat

For varying reasons I have been playing Test Drive Unlimited 2. It is essentially an open world driving game with MMO features. I have been finding it quite addictive. Recently I purchased Makapu'u Meditation, a property that turned to come with its own cat already installed.

Or some form of punishment.

Sure EBGames, I'd love to pay more for the used version!

You would think that whatever database they use could be designed to follow price changes but this seems to keep happening. I would like to think that the EBGames staff would stop you fro buying the more expensive used version or that the in-store price would be fixed. I would like to but...

We have posted this type of glitch before but that time the difference was only $5. $25 seems more significant.

I recently met a talented photographer and he turned me into a wallpaper

So this was my Monday morning...

After searching for mandatory DLC for Test Drive Unlimited 2

Not sure whether to blame Microsoft or Eden Games/Atari for the poor naming procedure so... Microsoft.
