I name this vessel… ‘EuroCar I’

We were driving down with 3 of our friends on the Friday night, and so I decided to do something special to the car. In City of Heroes, each character has a costume mode calld ‘SuperGroup Mode’ which adorns their costume with the colour scheme and logo of the group you belong to. I didn’t have time to respray the car blue and yellow, but I did have time to add the EuroCore logo using the CNC vinyl cutter at work that cuts out stickers of the same kind you see on company vans.

Raid on Pizza Hut

By the time we got to Cornwall we were pretty hungry, but the rumour had it that the nearby Pizza Hut closed in just 15 minutes. 3 of us went to check, and we found we had a good hour until closing.

Pizza Hut Girl: “Table for 3?”
geminid: “No, no, there’s more of us”
Me: “There’s 13 of us coming.”
Pizza Hut Girl: (face drops) “You are kidding, right?”

Eden

Eden!

The fact that this place is called ‘Eden’ is made more amusing to City of Heroes players by the fact that there is a zone in the game called ‘Eden’ that is inhabited by sentient animate plants that are out to destroy humankind. This zone is home to the Eden Trial, one of the most challenging trials in the game.

WEEE Man

I’m still not quite sure why the giant stompy washing machine robot has pooed a bunch of TVs.

Ride the Giant Bee!

I really wanted to ride the Giant Bee.

EuroCore’s Eden Trial

These strange people play games on teh internet. Shocking, I know. Sometimes we even venture out into the real world. Or, in this case, the Temperate Biome.

‘Love Oil’?

Sorry, what?

No socks

Right after taking this picture, a small child pointed at the statue and exclaimed: “HA HA! He’s not wearing any socks!”

Danger – spiny plants!

Is that…? Nah.

Eden’s Tropical Biome

Inside the Tropical Biome

Global Warming has taken its toll

A lesson for us all, kids

Chocolate is reputed to be an aphrodisiac

The “Story of Chocolate” was pretty tame until the value added smut near the end… I was particularly impressed by the fact the artist had rosied the butt cheeks of the woman being spanked.

The waterfall

The new EuroCore Forums

In the museum part of the centre is a large wall made from the front of refrigerators, complete with magnetic letters. Cue many messages being left.

Stoats & weasels should only be fed cheese

Despite the obvious superhero theme, these people had nothing to do with our group.

Bring Back Captain Planet

He’ll bring pollution down to zero!

EuroCore on Ice

We waited in the Arctic cold to go ice skating on the temporary rink that the Eden project has each winter.

Elizabeth on Ice

Me on Ice

Looking about as suave as a dead rat.
