I will be sure to do a reenactment when I have the inclination.

#3542

Pretty sure you wouldn’t have a job if you started throwin chairs. Also, I now picture you working for the Architect from The Matrix.

#3543

I always pictured that.

#3544

I have an office to myself. My boss is there so rarely it could be months before he found out I busted up the place, so long as I didn’t draw the attention of the landlord.

So a city in Russia got hit by asteroid fragments. The footage shown on the news was both awesome and scary.

I saw that on the IGN forums. That’s insane.

#3547

Wow, that’s crazy. It’s both really cool and terrifying how they leave visible trails of fire in the sky


Oh, youtube comments.

#3548

beautiful
 to bad a lot of people got hurt.

#3549

If I didn’t have a gambling problem I would be driving down to Atlantic City after work today


#3550

Did they? I haven’t seen any news sources on this yet.

#3551

At least 500 people injured from falling shards of glass.

#3552

I heard 400 (now 500, thanks to Maxey ninja-ing me :wink: ) people were hurt. 200+ buildings were damaged by it.

#3553

So I broke down and used the money from my TF2 items to get FTL and Cthulhu Saves the World/Breath of Death VII.

And about that metorite. There are quite a bit of dash cam videos of it but nobody is ever saying anything despite it having sound. I would be freaking the fuck out if I saw something like that.

And did it hit anywhere near buildings? I know you guys are saying some people were hurt. Are there any videos of it hitting or of the damage at least?

Edit: Hahaha, they’re sending a task force to look at the strike zone. This is like the beginning of a sci-fi movie.

#3554

A task force? Hah, that’s pretty neat.

The conspiracy theorists are going to go nuts over this, I can see it already.

#3556

VFX artists: OH! Real video reference!

#3557

Wow, according to wikipedia there were about 1,200 people hurt. Apparently it was just one meteor that exploded on reentry, and the shockwave did all the damage.

#3558

Yeah, most of the people injured were from falling glass from the shockwave apparently.

#3559

Suddenly I don’t feel like such a wimp for keeping the blinds closed all the time.

#3560

That’s pretty crazy. Imagine if it landed in this lake, one of the most radioactive spots in the world:
