    Nekkid Conga Line:

    The Right to Bare

    Arms

    By bored

    Everyone at one point or another has seen a

    nekkid Glitch. Some tolerate it, some love it,

    some hate it, and a few are appalled by it.

    However

    on 8/4/11,this nekkid thing went too far. Several Glitchers

    were seen parading nekkid through Plexus. A

    few unfortunate passersby happened upon the

    event. Some of the more like- minded tried to join,

    while others ran away, including a dev.

    While most of the offenders were nekkid, one

    Glitcher, RainyRain, declined to fully undress (or

    unfully dress) for the event. When asked as to

    the reason why, she stated that her love for

    Cosma superceded her love for nekkidness.

    When asked for comment, stoot barfield simply

    said " ... ignoring is sometimes the best

    practice..."

    Prisencolinensinainci

    usol- A word to the

    wiseBy Bored

    7/29/11 wasa Glitching

    day like any

    other-

    butterflies

    were being

    milked, trees

    petted, projects being worked on. Everything seemed fine,

    until a strange voice came over the music system. No

    one knew what the voice was saying. it kept repeating

    this word or phrase over and over again. One Glitcher

    thought it was saying something about raising cows. I

    thought it was a subliminal message to drink Pepsi.

    The insanity went on for several minutes, confusing and

    panicking some, while fascinating others. Eventually a

    message from GOD came, stating that the word,

    prisencolinensinainciusol, would go away if the game

    was refreshed. So everyone did, and peace was

    restored.

    But what does that word mean? It's not in the dictionary

    or in a foreign language. It's not a strange chemical

    compound. Nor is it a brand of soft drink. No one seems

    to know, or care, about its origin, but this reporter deems

    to find out... one day.

    Until then, I'll go back to chasing butterflies.

    If you happen to want to relive the earache experience,

    we can provide you with a link to the sound file. Listen to

    it over, and over, and over, again, until you decide that

    you had enough. Or, alternatively, until you cant take itanymore. Who knows, we might hold a

    competition to see who can listen to the endless

    repetition the longest.

    Whats your take on prisencolinensinainciusol? Can you

    read it backwards?

    Losuicinia- I give up..

    i Der Rook iz coming!

    Or came, or will come.

    By KitkatCat. Pictures by Cats1524 and Glitch Strategy wiki

    After some in depth research about past Rook

    Attacks, as well as screenshot submissions, I

    found enough information to cover this page. But

    first things first: What IS a Rook?

    The Glitch Strategy wiki description of the Rook

    is a collective noun referring to the evil, crow-like

    creatures which exist on the same plane as theGiants and are constantly buzzing at them, dive-

    bombing, attacking and trying to eat the Giants

    imagination. The Rook is dark and opposes all

    creativity. And they will try to attack the game

    world, especially locations which are left a little

    too neglected This is taken from the Glitchblog, and will pass as the Glitch devs definitions

    of the Rook. Now, Rook attacks, I hear you ask?

    Here as some pictures of the carnage..

    The Problem withIx..By daniel5457

    Recently a few glitches have had problems

    loading Ix. I, daniel5457, also have a problemloading Ix. The flash player would always crash.

    A few days ago I decided to say on the help chat

    that I was still had problems with Ix. Araldia tried

    helping me. But every time it didn't work. When

    she tried summoning me into Ix I accepted but

    nothing happened. "Congrats! I think you'rebroken!" said Araldia. We had had found a new

    bug. The next day I tried going to Ix in IE. It

    worked once (yay!) but the next time I tried I had

    to reboot the computer.

    Whats your take on it? Do you have the same

    problems? Comment on our blog guestbook, or

    our Forums thread!
