Lou Rowan was one of Australia's leading umpires in the 1960s, officiating in 25 Tests between 1963 and 1971. He first stood in 1958-59 and until his retirement in 1971-72 he never umpired a first-class match - other than a Test - away from Brisbane. His Test career started with controversy when his colleague Col Egar called Ian Meckiff in Rowan's third Test in 1962-63, ending the bowler's career, weeks after Rowan had cleared him in a state match. "My critics can please themselves whether I was satisfied with him, or not as competent as I should have been," Rowan said. Throughout his career he was not a man to be messed with, either as an umpire or a police detective. His final Test was equally torrid. At Sydney in 1970-71 he warned John Snow for intimdatory bowling, an act which led to crowd trouble and Ray Illingworth leading his side off the field. Rowan threatened to award the game to Australia if England did not return. In five Tests in that Ashes series Rowan did not give England one lbw. At Melbourne, he stood in the first-ever ODI, hastily arranged after the Test had been washed out. He umpired three of the unofficial Tests between Australia and the World XI in 1971-72 before retiring. He wrote a no-nonsense autobiography later that year entitled The Umpire's Story and continued to court controversy for decades. In 1995 he said that Muttiah Muralitharan and Arjuna Ranatunga should be banned, in 2000 he said the same of Brett Lee, and in 2005 he labeled Ricky Ponting a "smart arse and a disaster".

iMesh was a media and file sharing client that was available in nine languages. It used a proprietary, centralized, P2P network (IM2Net) operating on ports 80, 443 and 1863.[1] iMesh was owned by American company iMesh, Inc., who maintained development centers around the world. As of 2009[update], it was the third most popular music subscription service in the US.[2]
iMesh operated the first "RIAA-approved" P2P service, allowing users residing in the United States and Canada to download music content of choice for a monthly fee in the form of either a Premium subscription or a "ToGo" subscription. This subscription-based approach is advocated by theories such as the Open Music Model. A third option was also available for users (residing in either country) to permanently purchase tracks for 99 cents (USD) each, without a subscription.
In addition to the paid content, iMesh allowed all users (regardless of origin country) access to "non-copyrighted" music and video files. A legalized ringtone download service provided by Thumbplay was also available, allowing users to purchase ringtones for their mobiles.
On June 9, 2016, iMesh shut down their service without prior notification.[3] Their top-level web page was changed to read "We are sad to inform you that iMesh is no longer available."[4] Their Support page was changed to read "Due to changes in the music industry we regret to inform you that iMesh will no longer be available for download, and will no longer sell subscriptions or music tracks."[5] They posted to their Facebook page: "After many years of wonderful music, iMesh is no longer available. Thank you for listening with us. Stay tuned for our next adventure."[3] Multiple Facebook users commented on the post to express frustration that they had no way to contact friends made via the iMesh social networking features.[3]
In September 2013, the media and file sharing client known as iMesh was hacked and approximately 50M accounts were exposed. The data was later put up for sale on a dark market website in mid-2016 and included email and IP addresses, usernames and salted MD5 hashes.[6][7]
Legal aspects[edit]
RIAA lawsuit[edit]
On September 18, 2003 the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) sued iMesh for encouraging copyright infringement.[8]
iMesh settled the lawsuit a little over 10 months later on July 20, 2004, where according to the RIAA, the terms of the settlement were that iMesh would pay them US$4.1 million and could continue operating as normal (unlike Grokster) while implementing a paid service (iMesh 6.0).[9] iMesh had first agreed to have the new service available by the end of 2004, but this was pushed back towards the end of 2005.[10] due to technicalities.[11]
After the relaunch, iMesh was advertised as a 100% legal P2P client, and acknowledged as being so by the RIAA.[12] This was because downloads through the client were limited to a select database of 15 million licensed songs and videos.[13]
The iMesh 6 client (and later versions) achieved this by detecting attempts to download copyrighted material and blocking the transfer through the use of acoustic fingerprinting, provided by Audible Magic.[9]
An agreement with the MPAA had also been reached. Video files more than 50 MB in size and 15 minutes in length could no longer be shared on the iMesh network, ensuring feature-length releases would not be transferred across the network.[14]

In my previous post (http://thinkfirstcodelater.com/blog/?p=3606) I showed you how to use the Windows Azure cross platform command line tools to list storage accounts associated with a Windows Azure subscription. In this post I'll show you how to use these tools to view the details for a specific storage account.
Once again, just a reminder that I'm using the command line tools on a MacBook Air with OSX (Mavericks) installed, and I'm using Google Chrome as my default browser. However, the experience should be identical on Windows and Linux as well.
Open an instance of your command line (Terminal, Bash, Command Prompt, etc.) and type the following:
azure storage account show -h
The azure storage account show command is the command to use to show the details of a specific storage account associated with a Windows Azure subscription. the only parameter you need to provide is the name name of the storage account. To view the details of one of your storage accounts, enter the following into you CLI, substituting where appropriate:
azure storage account show '[YOUR STORAGE ACCOUNT NAME]'
I entered the following:
azure storage account show 'adgrocstorage75′
The details displayed for the storage account include the following properties:
- endpoints
- location
- label
- status
- geoReplicationEnabled
- geoPrimaryRegion
That's it for now. In my next post I'll show you how to update the properties of a storage account using the Windows Azure cross platform command line tools.
Did you know you can try Windows Azure for free for 30 days? Just go to http://aka.ms/thecloud and sign up.

This paper describes a dynamic voltage frequency control scheme for a 256 X 64 SRAM block for reducing the energy in active mode and stand-by mode. The DVFM control system monitors the external clock and changes the supply voltage and the body bias so as to achieve a significant reduction in energy. The behavioral model of the proposed DVFM control system algorithm is described and simulated in HDL using delay and energy parameters obtained through SPICE simulation. The frequency range dictated by an external controller is 100 MHz to I GHz. The supply voltage of the complete memory system is varied in steps of 50 mV over the range of 500 mV to IV. The threshold voltage range of operation is plusmn100 mV around the nominal value, achieving 83.4% energy reduction in the active mode and 86.7% in the stand-by mode. This paper also proposes a energy replica that is used in the energy monitor subsystem of the DVFM system.

I posted this as well on Nvidia Developer discussion.
I am learning to write my first cgfx shader- a terrain shader. So I can only use 1 vertex channel (the alpha channel) and I want it to store 3 masks. I programmed a script no problem in the 3d App Maya where I can store 1 mask in the tenths place, 1 in the hundreths, and 1 in the thousandths place.
Each original painted mask is clamped at 0 - .9 (to prevent zeroing out with fmod) so if a vert has:
mask 1 =.857
mask 2 =.345
mask 3 -.948
the combined alpha channel for this vert is = .839
The problem I am having is I cannot get these masks extracted into seperate masks properly in my shader.
If I output the Mask1 I get the correct nicely blended mask. I do this by:
float Mask1 = (fmod((Mcolor * 10f ), 10f)) *.111f;
If I output the Mask2 I get all these weird artifacts. It looks like the mask1 is pushing itself ontop, even when I am only outputting Mask2. I am positive the math works, I have run the same thing in Maya to store the values to begin with. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
float Mask2 = frac(Mcolor *10);
which should just push the mask 2 over into tenths place and erase Mask 1 results in the same artifacts.
float Mcolor = In.VertColor.a;
float Mask1 = (fmod((Mcolor * 10f ), 10f)) *.111f;
float Mask2 = (fmod((Mcolor * 100f ), 10f)) *.111f;
I posted some images of the issue on the Nvidia forum, but I can't post here becuase of spam prevention.
Help is much appreciated -thanks for reading through! Please explain your response if you can/ have time, I am new to programming so the more descriptive the better!

The packaging is visually impressive, looking like the Turtles' Party Van. The inside has slots covered in fabric to prevent the discs from touching. It is easy to remove individual discs without touching the bottoms as well. The top is also padded. The packaging has a few flaws though. The top half doesn't secure in any way other than simply resting on top of the discs. It would have been better to have it either hinged or have a way for it to snap in place. If it were to fall off a shelf, your discs will go flying everywhere. It also comes with a booklet with an episode guide and bonus feature listing. It doesn't really fit inside the van, unless you bend it around the top of the discs. It should have been made smaller or had a compartment for it.Read more ›
• Video quality: 720x480 NTSC video. Don't expect it to be clear and clean than what you saw on TV. Yes it's in much better quality from VHS that for sure, but if more money was invested by the manufacturer who gathered all the episodes to create this remarkable set then they'd probably go to the very masters of the series and re-capture everything in a much higher quality.
• Subtitles: They are in the DVDs, however there is no option to turn them ON from the menus but to play with the player settings or your remote control. On the computer though not all players were able to even recognize that the subtitles are exist. But once you find one that does you'll find that the subtitles have been designed with a solid-black background to them, instead of a transparent one which you usually see on TV/Movies. See attached screenshot.
• Product quality (the turtles-van package design): The concept of making the package as the turtles-van is nice, however I'd prefer something more secured and convenient to store the discs like thick DVD cases that can hold up to 12 discs each, rather than having them sit on half-circled sockets which made out of cheap and bending plastic. Meaning that 2 thick cases could hold the entire collection, including the booklet that came with this set which doesn't have a proper place for it to sit in the van design. Besides it would require less space on the shelf.
To summary:
Overall and although the negative points I described above, I'm still pleased with this set and very happy I purchased it. It's a piece of nostalgic that every TMNT fan should have. That is if you don't own the seasons of the series on separated boxes already.
As someone who grew up watching this cartoon all the time and is my favorite as a kid, this is the best present I have received. It was pretty funny at the beginning when she gave it to me because I thought it was a toy and didn't know it had all the seasons inside. If you are a TMNT fan I recommend this collectors edition as a must have.

U.S. large-cap stocks advanced in the first three months of 2016 as gains in the quarter's second half outweighed earlier losses. U.S. stocks followed global markets lower in the first six weeks of the year as investors reacted to poor manufacturing data out of China and a renewed decline in crude oil prices, which touched a 13-year low in February. Starting in mid-February, stocks recovered as oil prices climbed on reports that oil-producing countries might agree to freeze or even cut output. Sentiment improved after the Federal Reserve left short-term interest rates unchanged at its March policy meeting and signaled a slower-than-expected pace of rate increases this year. Eight of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 advanced. The health care and financials sectors each fell more than 5%. Value stocks outperformed growth stocks across all market capitalizations.
The Value Fund returned 0.58% in the quarter compared with 1.35% for the S&P 500 Index and 0.84% for the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index. For the 12 months ended March 31, 2016, the fund returned −2.05% versus 1.78% for the S&P 500 Index and −2.78% for the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index. The fund's average annual total returns were −2.05%, 10.98%, and 7.00% for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods, respectively, as of March 31, 2016. The fund's expense ratio was 0.81% as of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
Benchmark Definitions
Health care was the fund's largest overweight sector as of quarter-end. Our health care holdings are concentrated in the pharmaceuticals and health care providers and services industries. The fund has a large overweight in utilities, which features many companies that deliver stable cash flows and higher dividend yields with relatively little downside risk. Financials remain a significant allocation. Financials stocks have rebounded from the 2008 global financial crisis, but we think that valuations of select companies still appear reasonable on a normalized earnings basis and that the sector provides good leverage to the improving U.S. economy. Information technology remains the largest underweight sector, followed by consumer discretionary.
The S&P 500 Index ended the first quarter up 1.35% including dividends, extending the current U.S. bull market into its eighth year. The advance has pushed valuations to levels that appear stretched, in our view, making it harder to find quality investments trading at attractive valuations. China's ability to manage its slowdown remains a concern for the global economy. Meanwhile, tepid wage growth and recession-like conditions in the energy sector are among the headwinds weighing on U.S. growth. We anticipate muted returns for the economy and stock market and have positioned the fund more defensively with overweight allocations to health care, consumer staples, and utilities. Despite relatively expensive valuations in the large-cap universe, we continue to find high-quality, attractively valued companies that we believe are agnostic to wider market swings. We remain focused on buying quality companies at attractive prices and maintaining a long-term horizon to give our holdings time to become fully valued.

After traveling for nearly 3 weeks for work it was time to take a family break. The warm reception I received by the front desk staff was refreshing after a nearly 10 hour drive. I need to name two MVP's at the front desk, Cheryl and Tara made it happen for me despite my last minute request to be on the same floor as my children (the hotel was nearly at capacity). When we did get our room in this smoke free property it was clear that the persons who had recently stayed didn't adhere to this policy. I was really annoyed to say the least. Why do people do that? I don't think the $250.00 fine is worth it. The response once again from both Cheryl and Tara was professional and customer driven. I don't believe their response was because of my Platinum status but genuine care for guest.
My family and I had a great time, and the breakfast menu had variety in the two days we stayed. The dog friendly property didn't faze us either,no barking was heard.The rooms need to be updated, with the most recent look. The beds were great and my family was happy.I must admit the airplane were somewhat annoying in the early morning, but it is the Residence Norfolk Airport.

Pensole x Air Jordan II Sample
As great as they are, footwear collaborations are becoming somewhat commonplace in today's market. It almost seems like there are new projects popping up on a daily basis with every major brand. But, when's the last time you saw one that made you <insert emoji with huge eyes popping out>...?
This is an Air Jordan II Sample that was mocked up by D'Wayne Edwards and the team over at Pensole Footwear Design Academy. If you haven't heard of the Pensole, then you've probably been living under a rock. Use a quick Google search, and you'll quickly realize that the academy is a pioneering design school that drives a lot of creativity and imagination out of aspiring footwear designers from all over the world.
What was the inspiration? The initial creative driving force of many Pensole Academy students (including the founder D'Wayne Edwards himself)... A regular No. 2 pencil. Every single detail was meticulously thought out and executed to the highest standard, from the pink rubberized lace aglets (a not to the pink eraser head), to the metallic detailing shown above (inspired by the "ferrule" of a pencil, or the metal piece that holds the eraser in place).
As of now, there are no plans of a future release. Let's hope that changes, as I would definitely love to snag a pair or two. These are currently on display at Deadstock Coffee in Portland, but only for a limited time. Stop by to check them out while you still can!

Anime and Manga
- Fist of the North Star has so many people die that it would be easier to count how many people are still alive at the end of this series, even if one discounts all the random mooks that get massacred throughout the series. Driving this in further is the fact that these people are still remembered, to the point that the Toei anime had the credits of the Grand Finale showing the images of about every named character (aside from the most important of them) scrolling by.
- As you'd expect from the title, this is true in Death Note. Lots of important characters get offed, never mind redshirts. Light needs the names of criminals to kill them, so he's always killing characters that have names. Several times, they'll have a few chapters of focus, they'll die...at which point we find out they were being controlled by the Death Note that entire time.
- Everyone is fair game in Gantz and since it's a Deadly Game we're talking about here, there's always going to be a good bunch of (named) players around to be killed. Also, since the players end up in the game by dying in the first place, many (or most) of them get to die more than just once. And then the protagonists start to run into other teams with equally named and expendable characters... and then the war starts.
- In the x1999 film, everyone dies except for Original!Kamui.
- Berserk. Absurd bodycount of the named characters, not even factoring in the genocidal slaughters on the battlefield every few episodes.
- Attack on Titan deals with a Red Shirt Army facing giant, man-eating creatures that are almost impossible to kill thanks to their Healing Factor. Soldiers are regularly encouraged to die bravely for Humanity, as opposed to actually winning or even surviving a battle. Members of the Survey Corps, in particular, have dismal survival rates and the large cast is primarily thanks to how quickly characters are slaughtered in various gruesome ways.
- Dangan Ronpa. The entire series pits the entire cast against each other, Battle Royale style. (or Hunger Games sans the gratuitous award at the end). The premise is to get someone to murder someone else and get away with it. And boy do they start dropping like flies.
- Kamisama No Iutoori involves a typical death game so has this in spades as is to be expected in the genre. However what sets it apart is that every teen ager in the world is playing at once and thus progress through the rounds making it very easy to introduce new characters. The completely unfair a trolliferic nature of the games makes it nearly impossible to tell how important a character will be when they first show up, regardless of well they establish themselves.
Comic Books
- The Punisher MAX: Given the basic premise, no one is safe from death (even Frank died once, though he came back making no reference to the whole affair). Recurring characters like Barracuda and Yorkie Mitchell are safe for maybe three arcs.
- The Peter Milligan/Michael Allred X-Force/X-Statix started off with the majority of the apparent protagonists killed off in the first issue, killed off major characters at regular intervals throughout, and killed all the remaining characters at the end. Only one of the characters important enough to get onto the work's character sheet on this wiki was definitely still alive at the end.
Films — Animation
- Highly unusually for a children's movie, Transformers: The Movie killed off over a dozen characters, some rather shockingly.
Films — Live-Action
- Most slasher films, but notably not the earliest ones - Halloween (1978), Black Christmas (1974), and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974 are all fairly tame by today's standards. Naturally, all three have been remade.
- Platoon: Of the 31 men of the platoon, 15 die, 11 are wounded, and only 5 are left unscathed by the end of the film.
- Of The Dirty Dozen, only one survives.
- Any work based on the RMS Titanic disaster. But you knew that already.
- The Hateful 8: Only 2 characters are still alive by the end of the film, albeit heavily wounded. It's made clear that they won't live.
- In Battle Royale every student's death is announced by the Big Bad, and by the end only two students remain.
- In GONE the FAYZ has a 40% mortality rate. Even though sixty are named, the same rate applies for them. Even the immortal guy dies. Well...kind of.
- The Chung Kuo series include the deceased characters in the list of characters as a separate section. It's by far the longest one.
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has a higher body count than the other six books combined.
- In the Honor Harrington series, particularly the early books, there were lots of named bit characters dying. When Eric Flint started writing in the universe, he tried to find some characters appearing in only a single book or two that he could use — and found they had a 90% mortality rate. (He did manage to find three.)
- Robert Graves's I, Claudius recounts the life of Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, a member of Caesar's family who survived the genocidal purges of both Tiberius and Caligula because he was believed to be mentally handicapped, but was later crowned emperor. During the arc of the novels (and history for that matter), Claudius witnesses practically every member of his family being murdered due to political intrigues and infighting.
- Oka Shohei's novel Nobi or Fires on the Plains (1951) follows a Japanese soldier deployed to Manila in the final months of World War II after the army started to fall apart. Ordered on a pointless death march to a losing battle, most of the characters succumb to disease, madness, murder...or worse.
- The Reynard Cycle: By the end of book three, all but five of the characters introduced in Reynard the Fox are dead.
- Romance of the Three Kingdoms: It's not a terrific exaggeration to say that two characters are introduced and two die on every page.
- In A Song of Ice and Fire, named characters die all the time, mostly because there is such a ridiculous number of them. Some of them can't even make it to becoming One-Scene Wonders, but are left to be only names in the appendices before they pass away.
- In The Wishsong of Shannara, Brooks kills off most of the cast, including Allanon, and the entire Company from Culhaven except for Jair and Slanter. Wishsong was the last novel in the original trilogy, so this may have been done as a way to show that it was the end of an era, especially with the death of Allanon. Still, even though a number of important characters had died in the previous installment, Elfstones, the sheer bloodbath that was Wishsong did come as a real shock to many readers.
- In David Weber's Safehold series, long-established characters meet the end on a regular basis. This is in keeping with the 'Total War' theme of the series, but it still hits hard when an assassin succeeds against a Charisian preacher who's a national treasure.
- Doctor Who author Jim Mortimore is notorious for having ridiculously high death counts in his novels. In the most extreme example, he kills off the population of an entire universe.
- Warrior Cats has killed off 430 characters so far, and counting. Granted, that's over the course of nearly 60 books, but still...
Live Action TV
- Game of Thrones is perhaps the best recent example of this trope. Being an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire such a thing is expected. But in season 5 and later 6 when the series become more of a pragmatic adaptation and going off-book it does so more often.
- The finale of Season 5 is a particularly egregious example of this, when the show kills 6 characters, two of which are main characters, and four of them being a case of Death by Adaptation.
- Season 6 as a whole basically embodies this trope. By the end of the season, the show has killed all (or almost all) member of four major houses (Martell, Baratheon, Bolton, and Tyrell); two ancient race (giants and children of the forest); all original leader of the great houses of Westeros (Mace Tyrell being the last); and all leader of the war of the five kings (Balon Greyjoy being the last, killed by his brother)
- The The Vampire Diaries TV show is notorious for this. Not only do they kill off lots of named characters, they especially like doing it after said character has had at least a few episodes of character development.
- In The Walking Dead, Only 6 characters from the first season are still definitely alive by Season 5, with everyone else either confirmed dead or unknown. Characters both major and less prominent die each season.
- Battlestar Galactica (2003) has: Billy, Gaeta, Zarek, Dualla, Cally, Anders (effectively brain dead), D'Anna Biers (presumably perishes on the uninhabitable "Earth"), multiple supporting cast crew members whose deaths were depicted, several last-episode fatalities ( Roslin, Cavil, Tory, etc.) and that's not counting characters who die but come back at least once.
- Midsomer Murders is famous for its ridiculously high murder rate (even for a detective series). Depending on population estimates, the rural county of Midsomer has a crime rate beaten only by a few countries.
- Revolution: Within the first season itself, lots of named characters end up as dead as a door nail. By the first season finale, Charlie Matheson, Rachel Matheson, Miles Matheson, Aaron Pittman, Priscilla, Priscilla's daughter, Tom Neville, Jason Neville, Julia Neville, Kelly Foster, Grace Beaumont, and Sebastian Monroe are the only big characters still alive. Not only that, but trailers for the second season have made it very plain that a number of those characters still alive are going to end up as dead as a door nail, too.
- NCIS: Case of the week aside, the "dear departed" include NCIS agents in the opening credits (Field Special Agent Kate Todd, Director Jenny Shepard), their close relatives (Mossad Director Eli David, father of Ziva David; Jackie Vance, wife of Director Leon Vance), other good guys (Mike Franks, Secnav Clayton Jarvis, Gayne Levin, Simon Cade, Chris Pacci, Paula Cassidy), and of course, bad guys (Ari Haswari, Rene Benoit, Merton Bell). Death never takes a holiday here.
- Spartacus: Blood and Sand: Historical Domain Characters aside, only a handful of characters are alive by the end of the series.
- Out of the six characters who received main billing at some point during the first two series of Torchwood, four are dead by the end of Series 3 — three die within a single five-episode span, and another is only spared because he's immortal.
- The 100, in addition to killing off quite a few major and supporting characters, features large scale massacres on a surprisingly regular basis. To give you an idea, when the Ark space station colony is introduced in Season 1, its population is listed as around 2500 people. By the end of the season, it's down to a few hundred, max.
- In most Doctor Who stories (pre-2005) and episodes (post-2005), it can be more or less guaranteed that at least half of the named guest characters will be dead by the end, and often more. The rare Everybody Lives stories get special attention.
- Shakespeare's tragedies are notorious for this. One Reduced Shakespeare Company production had mattresses laid around the stage for the characters to die on.
- Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus is a veritable bloodbath featuring not only murder but also rape, torture and cannibalism with more than a 70% kill rate for named characters.
- Although much less gory, Hamlet also ends with a pile of corpses on stage. A staple of the "revenge tragedy" genre, which Hamlet is a deconstruction of.
- In the Japanese Kabuki play Yotsuya Kaidan, or "The Ghost Story of Yotsuya" a samurai named Iemon wants to get rid of his wife so he can marry the daughter of a rich man, and in the course of his overly-intricate murder plot, kills her off as well as several innocent bystanders. Later in the play, his wife comes back from the dead as a ghost and in the course of her overly-intricate revenge manages to kill off most of the remaining characters.
- Halo: Reach. One by one, Noble team dies, including Noble 6, the player character.
Visual Novels
- Danganronpa, as a Deadly Game, is known for this. In the original, only 6 characters out of the 15 introduced at the start actually survive until the end. In the sequel, it's 5 characters out of the original 16.
- Fate/stay night is about a war in which legendary "heroes" and humans fight each other to the death. In all three routes, by the ending, most of the characters have died, though who survives depends on the route. Although there are some main characters who are quite likely to survive in each route, by the third route Heaven's Feel, this rule is thrown out the window and even the main hero can die and stay dead if you make the wrong choices come the finale.
- Both Higurashi: When They Cry and Umineko: When They Cry by the same author feature this in spades, with the main mystery being figuring out who is doing it. In both cases it's also exacerbated by a "Groundhog Day" Loop where the exact circumstances of who dies and when keeps changing.
- Goblins, being an RPG-Mechanics Verse set in a Crapsack World with a Killer Gamemaster, has been known to kill scores of named characters in a single major battle.
- Homestuck:
- Almost all of the characters die at some point only to be visited in the afterlife, where we learn someone is killing them again - more than doubling the body count.
- [S] Game Over: Just about everyone bites it, fortunately through a rather convoluted method of Save Scumming they get another shot.
