Bruiser Sivir, and why Urals should not be driven without Engines!

Today, I decided to play the second champion that I ever liked. Sivir. Now, most people build her straight carry with a bit of extra mana thrown in for good measure. But I find that that build on her is somewhat underwhelming so I decided to try building her bruiser instead! Started off by building Black Cleaver then Berserker Greaves with Furor enchantment, went pretty even against a Caitlyn (which Sivir apparently counters). Then I got Frozen Mallet and Atma's Impaler followed by BotRK and Banshee's Veil for some added troll! The thing I love about Sivir is her ability to absorb enemy spells for mana. Caitlyn ult? E! Karthus ult? E! Lux ult? E! Teemo, Nidalee and Caitlyn also leave convenient deposits of free mana around on the ground and in bushes for Sivir to absorb.

I was also playing DayZ: Origins today. We (my clan and I) decided to do a raid on Salvation City and so we got in a helicopter and flew off with loot in our minds. As we got to the island - flying low over the water as to not be spotted by the 50. cal Emplacements which were inside the main compound - two of our team were sniped out of the chopper by some well placed shots from another player. We started with Seven and now we had Five. Our pilot dropped us off along the south western beach and we ran for a good 500m along the coast to an entrance location, we took shelter in a ruined house and waited to see what was going on. We heard alot of gunfire coming from inside the wall and then some footsteps outside the house, a very brief firefight followed and we had lost another but the attacker died too! Meanwhile our pilot had flown back to the mainland to pick up the Three that were respawning. Our team leader and the only other remaining squad member ran to the entrance hole and disappeared into the compound, leaving me to guard the escape. I moved to the second floor and found a window to watch from, soon enough I heard some footsteps and a Bandit in a blue tracksuit started towards the hole. I gunned him down from behind with my AK-74. Soon after, I died to a guy with a Makarov who snuck up the stairs behind me. Damn lucky headshot!

After I respawned I headed into Mitrovice (the small city next to our base) and then started looking around for some equipment. I happened across a survivor poking around near an apartment building, I befriended him and we went to check on the general store and its prospective supplies. He then invited me to his TeamSpeak3 server which I happily accepted since I probably wasn't going to get picked up by my clan by then. Anyway, after a few more deaths and kills (one death was caused by Dr. Ivan, a "Super Zombie") I ended up outside the Mitro hospital with Three others. We then headed North West to a zombie overrun army camp in which we almost lost one man to a sudden zerg rush of zombies, however a hail of lead is a sure way of driving back the horde! The server restart message came up, giving us 15 minutes warning. In the following 15 minutes one of my new friends stole a Ural from a group of players that decided it was a good idea to stop and refuel at a nearby fuel station. After stashing the Ural in the nearby forest we logged out for the restart. Afterwards we logged in and I ran over to the Ural and looked inside it, Two CZ550 rifles! Win! We all hopped in and I drove (somewhat dangerously) to the nearest repair station which was in the next city over. Then back to my base. All the while I'm talking to two of my clan mates and telling them that I'm bringing some friendlies around and not to shoot them. One of them is OK with it but the other is extremely paranoid and refuses to trust them straight up. After a few small firefights with some fresh spawns that kept coming to our base to attempt to steal loot off us, the distrust had turned into an uneasy friendliness. We then drove down to the local docks to loot cycle for some building materials for houses for our new allies. We parked the Ural between two hangars and then I removed the engine so it couldn't be driven away. After loading quite alot of building materials into the Ural from some good spawns, the clan mate that came with us decided to try to reposition the Ural. He forgot I took the engine out. It exploded. There goes all our newly acquired loot. Oh well, there is always tomorrow.
