You cant kill revax, he reminds of me https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Malloy

We could have fun trying though, that's half the fun

Besides, locking something up to a dungeon with no light, air or anything is much more fun! All it needs is a heatsignature cam!

This sounds oddly familiar...

If anyone has the time 20mins or so. I recommend this charming documentary. Its how larping saved a guy's life,  managing his autism, and the usual angst of growing up. It follows a group of larpers and such with focus on the main guy. it's very sweet and interesting.
It does look like a lot of fun, always wanted to give it ago myself.
I know there's a lot larpers here so i thought i'd share it.

I have always been curious on LARPing, but I don't have the balls to go to such event on my own and never had any friends to go with...so never got to do it.

Also!

Fun fact. There's some scientists that have found a possible cure/way to fight against cancer! In Malaria parasite.

Amusing how it goes.

Yeah i read about sounds interesting fighting a disease with a disease. Sounds like the plot of i am legend a little bit. Did you hear they may have also found alien superstructures in space (as apposed to the at the end of their garden) thats what they think they're anyways. Its a bazllion, million, million squillion miles away, but i think they plan to send signals to it soon. Mass effect generators anyone?

Speaking of cancer, sad to hear that TotalBiscuit's has come back, and it's unfortunately terminal. Doctor's told him the life expectancy rate is an average of 2-3 years, but that's generally because it's a cancer got by more elderly people.

I did not know what to think when I heard that, TotalBiscuit is the reason I even started to look at youtube and he defiantly increased my already great interest in games.

There are some outliners in the statistic life expectancy that lives with that cancer up to 10 years, it's possible he is one of those.

Shame about TB, I hope things aren't too tough for him as it progresses.

As for the Alien Superstructures.
It is a possibility they're considering, not much more. They're going to be aiming a listening dish in that direction to look closer at it (January or so was the earliest they could I believe)
They can't exactly see, but they have something that irregularly covers up to 22% of the sunlight, which is massive, a planet of jupiters size would cover around 1% and that's a big planet to begin with. There are other theories, like a massive cluster of comets passing through.
The star is 1500 light years away, even if we sent them a message now asking what's going on. For them it'd have been 3000 years after what we see (1500 years for the light to reach us, and another 1500 for a light speed message reaching there)
Imagine if we got a message tomorrow going "Yo dudes, what were you up to 3000 years ago with that building thing?" Would we even be able to answer, I mean... 3000 years is a long time.
Hell, if we sent a message we might not even remember that we sent it in 1500 years, much less 3000 for a reply to get here.
Of course, they might have devices for FTL coms... But even so we don't have that, or recievers for that. So still 1500 years for our message to reach them.

I guess what I want to say is that even if there ARE aliens there building something awesome. Communication is going to be practically impossible, not to mention a face to face meeting.
It's still massive if it turns out to be right, but all in all it's just a possibility they're willing to consider, there's no evidence either way.

You can find an article on it here

That was a really nice vid, Arkail!

I have always been curious on LARPing, but I don't have the balls to go to such event on my own and never had any friends to go with...so never got to do it.

I had no one when I started LARPing as well. But, from the moment I stepped onto the terrain people came to ask me who I were, gave me hugs, pulled me into the game from the start. Something that I really noticed and that this vid shows as well, it doesn't matter who you are or what you look like or such, most larpers are so extremely accepting and nice that it's just really nice to be with them.
It's like one big family.
So if you ever get the chance to go to a larp nearby, just pick up all your courage, and go. I never regretted it, and I don't think I ever will, because I even met my husband on a LARP, and most of my best friends.

I think I linked this vid once before, but for those interested in seeing a little bit of our dutch way of larp, here you go. It is in Dutch, but at least you get a little idea! I come by a few times, but most noticable on 9:20min where I have a duel with Ed in the arena. (I'm the one with the red hoody, Ed the one in the white robe thing. And it was coooold that weekend, -15 during the night. xD)

Just another reason for me to get into LARPing.. Sadly I still need to do a lot of work, and I can't really get further without a sewing machine >_~

Find non midival fantasy larps and it gets far cheaper.
Vampire stuff set today where clothes you own work for example.
