Mensa

Well, Mensa finally finished processing my paperwork, and I received an email from the president welcoming me into the organization today. For those who may not be familiar with Mensa, it is a high IQ society that only accepts members who have IQ scores in the top 2% of the world. I should receive my official welcome package in 10-12 business days. I'm really looking forward to it. The Broward Mensa chapter is pretty active. They have events every Saturday and Sunday, and usually several times during the week. It should be fun to hang out with the other outsiders.


I'm still playing Dead Rising. It really is a good game with a decent story. As I said before, one of the primary objectives is to rescue other survivors. I was a bit disappointed to discover that some of the survivors I rescued are now listed as lost. Apparently, from time to time, some of them decide that there isn't a helicopter coming, and they would be better off on their own. If you don't check in on them regularly to stop them, they run off.

I'm nearing the end of the game, or I should say nearing the end of 3 day survivor mode. There is also a 5 day and 7 day that you unlock, but I'm not sure how they vary from 3 day. The special forces have shown up to kill the zombies, and apparently make sure their are no witnesses. I have no idea where the people I rescued have disappeared to. They are still listed as safe, but they aren't in the security room anymore. I did finally manage to find the underground maintenance tunnels. Throughout the rest of the game, I had killed less than 2000 zombies. In about 10 minutes in a car in the maintenance tunnels, I ran over more than 3000 more. I'm looking forward to seeing how this game ends. I really hope it doesn't go Jericho on me.
