Corpse Run 205: Unless it’s nailed down
One thing that I never got to hear much of during my first (non-stealth) playthrough of Skyrim was NPC chatter; normally I’d just run into rooms and beat the bajezzus out of everything until it died or ran away. Sneaking afforded me the opportunity to listen to baddies chat with each other, where often times NPCs mention how stashing a knife in their boots would serve as an antidote to disarmament.
pppbft
So a few mornings ago I awoke to a series of thunk THUNK thunk THUNK. I figured, hoped maybe, that it was my landlord fixing one of the many things that seem to have gone wrong in our building recently. I looked at the time, decided it was too early to get up, and tried to go back to sleep.
THUNK THUNK THUNK
Ok, I thought, that definitely sounded like it came from inside my apartment. This thought didn’t really bother me, however, because the roof access goes through our living room, so the landlord may have come in to get some work done with our leaky roof.
Thun…K
Alright, ^*$# it. I got out of bed to see what the commotion was. I creaked my door open a few inches… no ladder, roof access thingy closed. What the heck?
THUNK THUNK THUNK
I opened my door all the way. In the living room, Jackie was tossing darts. My sister got me a dartboard for Christmas, and Jackie finally took the initiative and hung it up on the wall. Sweet!
Unfortunately, we are both pretty god awful at darts; our wall is now peppered with tens (soon to be thousands) of little holes.
I think it might be in my best interest to invest in a tub of spackle sometime soon.
LIVESTREAM UPDATE: Okie dokie, barring any sort of out of control nonsense, doodle livestreams are scheduled this week for Thursday (May 3rd) and Friday (May 4th) (sorry, won’t be around Friday night) at 9pm est. If you’d like, come and check it out!
While this has nothing to do with the current comic or story, I have a question. How did the site name get started?
I must ask that after playing more of Corpse Party. Must have game on PSP, and you can even play a fan remake of the 1996 original on PC. 😀
I used to play MMOs a lot, so corpse running was a big part of the routine. The 2nd place name that I eventually decided against was “Dos Boot.”
Get the spackle.
Apparently we had some, but it was all dried up… NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Having a rush for stealing?
It’s my newfound Skyrim hobby. I don’t even fence the stuff I steal, I’ll just drop it on the ground once it’s nicked.
We *have* spackle (it might be old and dried though, I haven’t checked) under the sink with paint and caulk and other house repair things. I’m pro at both making and filling holes in the wall.
I recommend checking. A wall of swiss cheese isn’t… stable
What idiot thought darts + alcohol = good idea? Cause I’ve yet to be in a bar with a dartboard where some drunken jackhole hasn’t let a dart “get away from him” at least once.
And when it’s in the wall next to the board it’s at least forgivable. But I gotta say, a dart dug nice and deep into the knuckle of your left hand followed by some douche off in the distance drunkenly asking if he “got you” with that last dart is a serious fun-killer.
I’m thinking it was the idea of either a drunk guy or someone who wouldn’t be in the building at the time.
Darts (and any sharp object, really) should never be mixed with booze. Safety first!
I’d flip out if a dart got stuck in my hand… how long did that take to heal?
“I’d flip out if a dart got stuck in my hand… how long did that take to heal?”
I did, and a little over three weeks.
I’ve got a dartboard, and after several rounds of wall repair, I decided to upgrade the board. I bought a roll of cork from the craft store (they sell sheets in all sizes), and mounted the dart board to it. Leave at least 6″ or so around it to make sure the darts have someplace other that the drywall to land.
If you are feeling extra crafty, and want the board to look nice, you can mount the cork to some Masonite or other thin plywood, and then frame it with some baseboard molding. If you don’t have the saws and tools, most Home Depots will make the cuts for you. Just take in your measurements and grab one of the workers in the lumber area. I made my dart board roughly the size of a movie poster (20″ x 30″ or so). Hope this helps!
Sounds like a pretty sweet idea. It would certainly keep us from (continuing to) destroy our wall. Might be a good weekend project pretty soon.
I’m gonna sound like an idiot here, but who’s Jackie? Roomie? Sibling? Girlfriend? You keep mentioning him/her in the descriptions, but if there was ever an introduction to them, I missed it. I’m just so frigging curious because they never show up in corpse run, just you and Dan.
Jackie is my super cool, totally awesome roomie!
