Yes, but if you tell zombies, they wouldn't understand because they are mindless corpses.

Or at least, those are the only kind of zombies I will even accept as "zombies".

Well, if they eat brains.... do they still count as mindless. Technically, they still have brains in them [albeit their stomach]

I decided to man up and send a haiku to Vampire squid:

Quote:
Ascension, Team SWAT
Super Jump way up on high
Snipe Snipe Snipe


Bonus points if you know what I'm talking 'bout.


As stated... Bonus points if you know where my hiding spot is XD

The vampire squid's email address comes from a sound file that references Netochka Nezvanova. That wikipedia article on the artist(s) left me pretty amazed.

Does anyone else think it would be immensely cool if this turned out to be associated with one of her/his/their projects? NN sounds very ARGy, proto-ARGy in fact.

I think I'll have to participate just to find out!

I just got another response back from the squid:
Quote:
How delightful, thank you.

What scares you most? Adult men or teenage women?


My reply:
Quote:
Good to hear.
If I had to make a choice (though teenage women are more volatile] I would say that the adult men scare me most.
Just a force of habit, normally it is the adult men committing crimes and mureders.

However, I wonder, why exactly would you need to know this?

I never seem to get your inside jokes. Remember, I live in the ocean.

People don't, like, drop video games into the ocean after freak fishing/sea-bound lan party accidents?

I would recommend capsizing a shipment of Halo 3. NOW.

I'll see what I can do about that. I'll look to see if any shipments are heading my way.

Some improtant stuff from the squid this time:
Quote:
My partner in crime wanted to know.

Just as a heads up, I will update my website with at least 1 new page every day. Be ready to look around every 24 hours for arbitrary additions.

Aren't you excited for September 1?


My reply:
Quote:
You can't imagine how .
Ive cleared my schedule for it, or course. No way I can miss this.

So you have assosciates? Are we allowed to know wgo he/she is?


So, his comment made me check back at the site and I found that hide.htm had been updated w/a new page.

We've been having a fun little conversation but apparently he does have friends, or that's what he said. Other than that nothing important.

Although he did ask "Who were you most intimidated by in school? Your peers? Teachers? Principal?"

To which I replied, my vice principal.

Entirely irrelevant, but... I asked whether Vampire Squid was a man/girl/invertebrate. He answered "All of the above."

Also, he/she/it goes by Frank apparently. At what point do we move this out of News & Rumors? Sept. 1?

Sorry, only very large games get moved out of here, which this doesn't seem like it's going to be. But that doesn't mean it won't be fun anyway!

[offtopic] Speaking of that, wouldn't it be better if the division was something like "Rumors & Mini-Games" {Single-Thread / Grassroots / Smallscale / etc.} and "News, Press, and Other Analysis"... *shrug* [/offtopic]
