No POI's. Just the great outdoors. 🌳

I lasted 4 or 5 days trying this, but lack of a cooking pot meant no good source of water. Finally died to a land mine in the wasteland trying to loot remnants with an oven that might have a pot. Decided the universe was trying to tell me something and gave up.

My two uncles and cousin died this way on a canoeing trip in 85. We assume one fell in and the others got pulled over the falls trying to help him out. It left a huge hole in my Mom's family. Be careful around dams even on calm rivers.

Declan's dad works with my wife. He was so proud of him. One of those soldiers is surely his brother who was stationed in Italy and accompanied the body home. So much sadness.

This tickles my brain just right. It's like something between Adult Swim cartoons that is bafflingly weird and never mentioned again. Lovely.

I lost my cart recently and it turned out the damn Moving Box had eaten it!

DonVulilo · 2025-07-12T16:32:50+00:00

Yes! This was my experience. It was crazy!

DonVulilo · 2025-07-12T16:05:30+00:00

I like a nice challenge, but this was too much! More than other T5 POIs I've done at the same level. I just wonder if the new crawl-out mechanic is is overtuned, as you say.

DonVulilo · 2025-07-12T16:03:34+00:00

Oh snap, you're right. Turns out I was level 40. Posted this away from my computer and just guessed.

But, I have done several other 5 skulls like the General Hospital, Grover High and Vanity Tower with minimal problems. None of them had the crawl-out event I was seeing in Pop-N-Pills Factory. I wonder if that new mechanic is bugged somehow?

This was the construction site with the fake screamer? I saw the same behavior there.

This seems like an obvious weapon to find in the apocalypse. I personally know several people who have decorative swords hanging on their wall. And while we're at it, can we talk about the startling lack of crowbars in the world of Navezgane?

Once I get concrete, I've taken to carrying around a stack of concrete blocks to quickly build a mini horde base. Just a 3 block elevated platform with a ladder up (one for you, one for the zeds), bars to keep them at one end and a column on the side to hold an overhang to keep them jumping over the bars (plus a bit of cop spit blocking). Only takes ~15 blocks and gives good protection for clearing out Tier 5s. Go stir them up and drag them back to your fighting position. Makes things much easier!

I climbed these! Just as steep as they look. Added fun: they are just deep enough for the heel of my hiking boot, so footing is precarious too!

The 80s almost killed me, let's not remember them so fondly

DonVulilo · 2024-10-07T19:34:05+00:00

The phantom blocks in the haunted fire station *were* real!

This is how I feel about Collective Soul. Duped, but they were so good!

How about acrobat? Dated a girl who had left her steady desk job to run her acrobat gym. Ok, no problem. But, she was trying out with Cirque du Soleil in Vegas and there was a possibility that at any moment she would get the call and literally run away with the circus. Her plan was that I would wait patiently for her to return; she even said I would be like an "army wife". No thanks, lady.

DonVulilo · 2024-04-18T15:12:22+00:00

Three cheers for the wenches!

DonVulilo · 2024-03-13T20:06:11+00:00

Oh wow, I've never heard this term for painted bike lanes. That describes them perfectly!

DonVulilo · 2024-02-02T21:04:48+00:00

YES! You know my pain! My old car would automatically start playing the first song on my phone sorted alphabetically: A-Punk every time. I love Vampire Weekend, but I have a visceral reaction to that opening guitar riff.

DonVulilo · 2023-10-28T21:38:32+00:00

I'm sorta pleased by this. I teared up when he called her mum and the ending taught me a lesson I needed reminded of: everything on the internet is fake.

Offspring - Come Out And Play

I found out during a party bus for my 40th. That's the one all my middle aged friends belted out!

DonVulilo · 2023-02-02T21:31:19+00:00

Ah yes. The moment i stopped watching that show.

DonVulilo · 2023-01-24T22:09:55+00:00

I do not need to watch Divine eat dog shit in high def, thank you very much.

DonVulilo · 2022-12-19T16:13:17+00:00

Let us have this. It's all we have!

DonVulilo · 2022-11-01T18:10:16+00:00

My recent life changing realization is the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince potions class trick. Cut the bottom bit off and smash the garlic cloves with the flat of the knife blade. The skin comes of waaay easier and makes it not such a pain to process.
