For our Tenth #3: Dr. Seuss
I can't help but think that yes is the wrong answer here
Did you ever walk with ten cats on your head?
From the classic One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.
For our Tenth #2: Ten Hours of Nyan Cat
Only the strong can watch it all
I am not one of the strong...
So... for our Tenth... Ten Cats
It's an (unrelated) comic strip...
It's also video game related as they mention Call of Duty right there in the last panel between shrimp and chicken.
HoC Random Upcoming Anniversary of the Decade - 08132017
August 14, 2007 was an ignominious day
So tomorrow is August 14. 2017. And at some point last week I remembered that it will be the Tenth Anniversary of HerdofCats.ca. This did not spur me into planning anything. I guess this means I will be counting on you guys for content tomorrow.
Hello? Anyone? Damn crickets.
So yeah, anyway... I haven't done or planned anything other than remembering that it is tomorrow. Seems almost appropriate somehow.
Windows Central: First look at the new Xbox Avatars
Whoot! Yay! I guess...
- Microsoft has been working on new Xbox avatars for quite a while, having teased them several months ago. They're nearly ready for prime time as part of the Fall Creators Update for Xbox One, and we got an early look.
Video after the break.
HoC Random Quote of the Day - 080917
Playing FORTNITE as the Outlander
I also captured video but for some reason I appreciate the picture more.
"It's like herding cats... and then blowing up cats."
Collectors Edition unveiled for Call of Duty: WWII
Complete with Commemorative Bronze Statue
We here at HoC are busy arguing between this, Star Wars Battlefront 2, and Crackdown 3. Getting a little too close to call. Bad enough with just the standard editions. All the special, collectors, valor, limited, super deluxe versions just complicate things even further.
Contents of the two different Valor editions of Call of Duty: WWII are listed after the break.
HoC Twitch Experiment: Black Ops III kind of a fail
It turns out there may have been a reason.
Two out of four HoC members would not join the Party Chat stream. One refused and one didn't want to figure it out (too busy killing zombies). The third connected before I even finished asking. So SeanMCR and I chatted to the world (and sometimes empty air when chatting with the other two).

Official Nazi Zombies reveal trailer
Sledgehammer Games delivers an original and terrifying new co-op survival experience in Call of Duty®: WWII Nazi Zombies.

Nothing is as it seems in this zombies horror, as a dark and sinister plot unfolds to unleash an invincible Nazi army of the dead.
A new horror rises on November 3.
HoC Sega Nite Twitch Experiment ran for two hours
And worse, it's archived for your amusement
There were no issues other than sarcasm and bad play. Neither of us noted any lag issues. There was, obviously, a time delay in the broadcast. Oddly, my time delay was less than Pwn Call's.
Coxxorz/Pwn Call was required to download the Twitch App on his Xbox One but we think this was just Twitch self propagating. We think the only required step is to go into your party chat window and approve Broadcast streaming. Working this out lead to ten minutes of me talking to myself. Online.
We had a pick on Stormblade moment 12 minutes in. It was sadly disappointing as neither of us had prepared for it. You would think we could just whip this stuff off but apparently we need to work at it.
The World lost George Romero, 77, on July 17
Time to shut down the site I guess
No!!! Not George! The God Father of Zombies and a star in Call of Duty's Zombie Mode passed away due to lung cancer.
Here is an excerpt from the Globe and Mail:
George Romero, whose classic Night of the Living Dead and other horror films turned zombie movies into social commentaries and who saw his flesh-devouring undead spawn countless imitators, remakes and homages, has died. He was 77.
Mr. Romero died Sunday following a battle with lung cancer, his family said in a statement provided by his manager Chris Roe. Mr. Romero’s family said he died while listening to the score of The Quiet Man, one of his favourite films, with his wife, Suzanne Desrocher, and daughter, Tina Romero, by his side.
Go well George, if anyone deserves to come back as a zombie, it should be you.

Herd of Cats now experimenting with Twitch
I warned you this might be bad
The Herd of Cats twitch feed is available here. Don't expect a lot of content right away as we are mostly experimenting.
Coxxorz and I are having a Fortnite co-op day and since most of you can't make it (or, maybe, weren't invited) we thought it would only be considerate of us to let you watch us play.
Starting sometime early afternoon this Friday we will start streaming our initial experience with Fortnite. Have watching some early streams of Fortnite I have discovered that there is no way we can be worse.
Coxxorz is concerned about what he might say about other clan members while he is broadcasting. If nothing else will make you tune in, that should do it. Me personally? I insult most of you to your faces so how different will this be? (Except Stormblade because that is a secret hate. I may need to run a separate stream just for that...)
