I don't suppose we'd actually have any site registrants in Finland huh? The pic on this site (The Nameless City - one of Lovecraft's) reminds me of the watercolor. There's also some houses in the background of bseeingu.com (in the midst of the bushes) that are similar IIRC. Anyway, there isn't anything on the site, and I know I'm grasping at straws, the image just looked familiar somehow. Maybe it's a famous piece or something. /don't mind me

Just FYI, The Nameless City is also the title of a HP Lovecraft story, info here.

I get it!
All the biological entities are "creepy creatures".
Including some of the "computer consultants".

Cats, crickets, cthulhu and computer hacking. Totally making sense now!

Great. Have a press conference in Ireland for 5 days and when I come back...crickets happen!

Why do I miss out on all the good parts? Last I checked in we were trying to make sense of how a bunch of vigilante hackers could be linked to the Old Ones. Insects were clearly the missing link

I was taking a shower last night, and guess what decided to show up?

A black cricket!

I got the same impression, that it was a coincidence, at least apparently.

I've been telling myself for 5 days that I'm not going to get sucked in, and yet everyday I come back and update myself on everything that's going on here. I'm not saying I'm back but.........

maybe I'll just have a very slow summer at work. they should change the creed at work to snow, sleet, rain and args.

Yeah, the Boston listing was for an in-game player. Be glad it wasn't for you - there were live crickets inside.
