My First Pentakill

I got my first pentakill in League of Legends!  Granted it was in Ultra Rapid Fire mode, but I was still quite excited.

Being a nerd

"If you go out there in the world and you feel like no one appreciates you because of something that you love just keep looking because there are people out there who love what you love and will appreciate you for who you are. Being a nerd is about being special. It is about being different. But most importantly it is about embracing that and making wonderful things happen for yourself.  So go out there and be the best damn nerd that you can be!"

Rust Life:02-04

Rust Life:02
I decided to start close to a city.  There is a large rock castle to my left and a shack to my right.  I walk through the shack finding a locked door I cannot open.  Heading out the back I run into a bloody, literally bloody, not British, bear.  The bear attacks me, so I fight back with my boulder.  I give him one good smash in the face and am subsequent mauled to death by the bear.

Rust Life: 03
There was some tires and a barrel in the distance.  This is the first time I've seen anything besides buildings or nature. Upon investigation I find a crate containing a flare and some bullets.  While looting the crate I notice my RADs increasing at a crazy rate. On a nearby rock there is a bloody bear who growls at me.  Remembering my last encounter with a bloody bear, I turn and run.  While running away I contract radiation poison and start taking damage.  I keep running and thankfully the radiation subsides and I start getting my health back.  I come across a road and a couple buildings. Walking towards them I see a boar.  Knowing that I will need food I pull out my boulder to attack it.  Unfortunately, I hear a growl.  There is a wolf behind. I fruitlessly swing my boulder at him a couple times before he kills me.

Rust Life: 04
Starting in an area void of landmarks, I walk through the trees and past the large boulders.  A wolf howls and I know that he is right behind me.  Without seeing the wolf, I run my ass off to get away.  I see a large complex of buildings including a silo.  Making my way through a gap in the gate, I head into the closest building.  My RADs are rising, so I quickly loot the create closest, finding my health kit.  RADs are still rising so I quickly exit the structure, making my way back into nature. The RADs are going down as I move away from the complex, which is a relief.  I find a couple boulders.  Since I had been having such a hard time finding these earlier, I prioritize mining them.  Then I hear another howl from a wolf.  Without thinking twice I start to book it as fast as I can away from the howl.  After running for five or so minutes I slow down and turn around to scan the area.  Another howl goes out before I can properly survey the area.  Vietnam flashbacks fuel my run as waste no time heading breaking into a run. I run, run, and run, finally stopping to look around when I take damage from the side.  It is the same wolf.  I hit him futilely

with a rock. This cross country wolf kills me.  I just want to make a stone ax.

Rust Life:01

I awoke in a valley, cliffs on either side.  Heading through the rocks on the cliff side, I found I could not seem to gather stone from the cliff's boulders.  I went back down into the valley, following it to find a deposit of gold and then coal.  Not having the tools necessary to mine them, I set my goal to find stone and wood to create an ax.  The wood was easy to procure off a close by tree, so I continued on through the valley, eventually reaching the sea, not finding any stone.  Veering to the right after hitting the sea, I continued on into the night, not any stone in sight.  Halfway through the evening I become hungry, then starving, starting to lose life as I walk on looking for this ever elusive stone.  The sun starts to rise, creating a beautiful sunrise when I finally stave to death.  I never found any stone.
