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!

24 hour Travelbug!

It's back! Log into Planet of Cubes and find this week's travel bug! The block will  e go.d with a scarab on it.

Hint: Flowers on fire near water

An easy one!

3 Skins That Would Rock The Game To Its Core

Planet of Cubes players should know I haven't forgot about you all! Yeah, I've been gone for a while - the life of work and play will never be balanced.

Nonetheless, I've been staying in the know when it comes to the latest and greatest in the Planet of Cubes world.  If you haven't surfed over to the website recently, then you haven't noticed the vote that's going on right now about the upcoming texture packs. Sigh, no renting chunks just yet! But it's coming from what the site info explains -

Now, here are the three top choices that you've voted so far on what you want to see in the next texture pack update:

Planet of Cubes Texture Pack Votes

1. Tron (Futuristic) Texture Pack
   33% (10 votes)
2. Christmas Texture Pack
   30% (9 votes)
3. Another Texture Pack which is not available on the list above!
   27% (8 votes)

 It would be interesting to see a Tron texture pack. Different? Yeah, it would be. The Christmas texture pack wouldn't be a good choice because that's seasonal. And besides, Christmas is almost over! In regards to having another texture pack that's no available on the list, that's where many user will probably end up before it's all said and done.

However, I want SKIN PACKS.  I would like to see:

1. An optional pack to where you could create your own skins. Nothing special, just enough pixels to work with.

2. Naruto Skin packs - This would be AWESOME! Could you imagine the Planet of Cubes with Leaf, Cloud, and Rain Ninja running around? That would just rock.  (POC this is my version of begging you haha!)

3. Star Wars/ Star Trek Skin/texture Packs: Again, the ability to create your own Clans and Guilds would be endless if people could unite with skin textures. And besides, it's all the "in-thing" right now.

I'll be back in regular rotation talking about my travels now. I'll also be online Christmas for a few moments to say hello so look for Virgounitis! Probably in Comfort City.

Twin Love

I came across this a while ago. Twins. Its awesome because I'm sure the person who did this was probably a twin.

The Pharoah

Came across this Pharoah and a few Sphinx statues. Pretty cool.

A Planet of Cubes Police Station found

 

I'm not going to lie, I did think it was cool that I walked past a manned police station in Planet of Cubes the other night while in Avatar Land. LOL, every girl online that night had to have been talking to them. It was funny. They were doing patrols and stuff, speaking to people like real cops.

I think it would be really cool when the day comes you see people working at the grocery stores and in the company buildings - that would be different. 

 

Throwback Thursday: 3 Reasons To Build In A Cave

Today's #ThrowbackThursday is my post on "3 Reasons to Build in a Cave". Apparently this was a popular post with Cubers!

Enjoy!

 3 Reasons to Build in a Cave

Packed crowd at Imperial City

So I'm walking around Imperial City and came across a huge crowd. Didn't try to mingle as many of them couldn't speak English, but they were wearing the new skins though, recently released in the latest update. Cool! [ALSO READ: Planet of Cubes: 2 updates we're still waiting for]

This Way Up

Found an interesting structure that points up. Where? To the heavens

The arenas of Dubai

Travel to Dubai in Planet of Cubes and you'll eventually  come across the arenas. Very Impressive, they represent  everything you'd find in a real life arena. Except a sky box - had to dock points for that. Overall, very nice and very realistic .

Phrase to think on: "Love was built here"

What is Geocaching?

Geocaching, also referred to as GPS stash hunting, is a recreational activity in which someone "buries" something for others to try to find using a Global Positioning System ( GPS ) receiver. The pursuit can be thought of as a GPS-enabled treasure hunt. Usually, a geocache consists of a small, waterproof container that holds a logbook and inexpensive trinkets. Participants are called geocachers.

For POC Players, I simply post the coordinates and you find the Bug! Very easy! No GPS tools needed LOL!

Have fun!

What do I do when I find the Travel Bug?

Reply to this post!  I'll ask you a few questions to make sure you saw correct!

Design Ideas: Comfort City Fountain

Came across this fountain today. Looks fairly easy to build if you're designing a home.

Quiet Sanctuary

Found another Christian monument. Its amazing how faith is in gaming!

 

 

Eastpoint Bridge is more than a journey

The Eastpoint bridge has a story to tell.  The bridge has more than paved lines, but a panorama of color and flavor like no other location on the Planet of Cubes. It's their Route 66, where the destination is not has important as the journey.

If you are wondering, yes, that's a Minion. One of the many creations you'll find on the bridge. There were so many more, well, just download the game and see for yourself! Creation time is quote lengthy out there. So if you ever get caught between the bridge at Eastpoint, stop and look around. You might find something interesting.

Warriors of Ancient City

Found some cool warriors in Ancient City tonight. Go check them out!

As you can see below, the city has some buzz - I think the people here were part of a clan.
