Herd of Cats

The sarcasm seems to come naturally

So tonight I stealthily snuck up to the kitchen to get a glass and some ice. Stealthily because I was not sure if Rolly was asleep yet.

Ice turned out to be a problem as using the ice dispenser creates a lot of noise. I guess Rolly was still awake attested to by the:

Keep the noise down out there

Which was yelled from the bedroom by Rolly.

I fired back with a quiet:

Sorry bud, my apologies.

This got the well deserved reply that it had earned:

I'm trying to sleep here.

I crept back to the basement well scolded. By a five year old.

...that's a sickle

The new Zombie Mode, Call of the Dead, has no bowie knife. Not this time around. Now, the have a sickle which is supposed to be good for early to middle levels. I suppose this does suit the horror movie theme.

It is located at the bottom of the slide across from the Speed Cola machine and costs $3000.

I have never seen it in game, I spotted this online. I saw someone using a sickle in a strategy video and had to look up where it was.

We have run past it many times but since it is in the freezing water we did not stop to sight see. Maybe next time.

A SyFy original movie based on the Red Faction games. And I did enjoy Red Faction: Guerrilla.

In the year 2125, Alec Mason led the Martian Colonies to freedom in the hit action game Red Faction: Guerrilla. Now, Syfy and THQ are teaming up to continue the saga of conflict on Mars 25 years later in an all-new Original Movie, Red Faction: Origins. Stargate Universe's Brian J. Smith stars as Jake Mason, son of revolutionary hero Alec Mason (Terminator 2's Robert Patrick) and a Red Faction ranger. Fighting to preserve Martian freedom, Jake encounters a powerful new enemy in a dangerous and mysterious group led by the charismatic Adam Hale (Torchwood's Gareth David-Lloyed) and holding secrets that will rock the Mason clan. Jake must now battle the relentless regime and somehow reunite a family torn apart by war.

I wonder what the odds are of a video game movie being good? On the plus side I did not see Uwe Boll in the credits anywhere.

No, there is no mention of the song Friday in this video. You can rest easy.

And HoC reached a new high

So yesterday finally saw the Herd of Cats' Alpha Team of Zombie Killers together in Call of the Dead for the first time: Stormblade, Graybush and Blackwalt. Not to demean the previous and future support of Coxxorz, SeanMCR and Wartactix but really... we all know who the (HoC) Alpha Team of Zombie Killers is. The rest of you want-a-bes can continue to try out for that elusive fourth spot.

We managed to get to Round 12. It does not sound like a huge triumph but keep in mind our previous high was Level 9 and our average is down around Level 6.

Anyway during our Round 12 triumph we found a heavy steel door inside the light house. A door that could not be opened. And there were voices behind it! People stuck behind the door asking for help. Four people in fact. One Russian (who asked for vodka), one American, one German and one Japanese.

Yes, the four heroes of previous Zombie Modes, Takeo, Nikolai, Dempsey, and Richtofen, appear as an Easter Egg in Call of the Dead.

Hmmm, what isn't this based on. Connected to this comment that isn't related to this story but probably should be. And there may be a little bit of this in there too.
