VIDEO: Exhausted Planet of Cubes Zombie goes up in flames

This Planet of Cubes Zombie was tired, worn out, and would not give up. He had to go up in flames. 

It's rare that the Planet of Cubes zombies are out in the day but when they are, they're asking for it. 

 Why? Because they have that Vampire clause dangling over them: They go up in flames when the daylight hits them. It's hilarious. I thought it would be cool to catch one blow up on camera. If you're not out on the land of crafting  then you want to be in a house right on the border of the alleged safe zone. From there, go to a window or two. Just walk back and forth for a while and you're going to get some attention. It will either be spiders or Zombies.

So in my case, I had a zombie. He was not just any zombie, he was exhausted. It's funny because on the video you can see him taking breaks to catch his breath! I was cracking up. Add a little Walking Dead Theme Music and you've got a funny production (we'll see how long it stays up before it's flagged for whatever weird reason...)

As soon as the sun came up I took off out the house, not without a fight. He was blocking the doorway! As soon as I got out to open land I turned around and caught his demise on video. RIP to that lost soul, I will not be your dinner tonight! No matter where you are when the evening comes, be inside!

Tree of Life area full of surprises

 

Tree of Life area on Planet of Cubes was a pleasant surprise. If you're looking for that city feel that has a rural setting, this is the area for you. I was surprised to find this windmill in the area, which was very cool. Walking around the area you could tell some user construction had started, but nothing really big, which means there's a great deal of land to be used!  

Of course my biggest find of the day was this police helicopter that was perched on his pad. I hope one day I'll get a chance to fly one of these around, you can never tell what's next in POC. Awesome surprises around every corner! 

 

 

And finally, back to my original mission of the night: A Group photo for this blog. I was surprised at how difficult that was- You'd think people would jump at the opportunity to get seen to gain more friends and be a little popular in Planet of Cubes, but that wasn't the case - However, big thanks to Mr. Awesome Guy for being a great sport. He was building a house when we talked. So if you see him anywhere on the planet, let him know that he's a celebrity now haha. Hopefully he'll be cool with that. 

Island Mysteries

 

Because I'm a lover of good mysteries, if you venture out onto the smaller islands in Planet of Cubes, you'll come across things like this: A Giant Girl, and random words.  What I'm beginning to discover as I travel around this world is that there were many players who designed various things and for whatever reason just left them.

 It could be attrition - the fact they may have moved on to different things, or maybe they're somewhere else on the board making more statues and words. Needless to say this mystery left me looking all over, wondering what "Close" was in reference to, and if the giant girl had any relatives standing nearby. 

If you're looking for places to focus all of your attention onto good sunsets and wonderful nights, consider the outer, more smaller islands. I was definitely surprised at what I found, and it made for an enjoyable gaming experience. The opportunity for adventure is indeed infinite, and who knows, maybe I'll come across your Planet of Cubes creation one day - only time will tell. 

But if you do have one, leave me your coordinates in the comments below and I'll go check it out! It would be my pleasure!
