Week of the Rat, Day 5

PackRat is meant to be played against one's Facebook friends. If, however, one has few friends or few friends who are playing it, PackRat features a few resident rodents from whom one can steal stuff. Each rat grins at the player from the same 50x50 pixel avatar space that the real people do, but none of them has his/her own profile page since, obviously, none are actual entities. These cheerful critters do, however, have associated with them, just like real people, large-ish avatar-ish portraits. The lovely and talented Shakirat seemed the rat most fitting to be introduced in her full glory because of all the rats she's the easist on the eye. And now she'll sing her latest hit as a finale to this week's ratty festivities. See you next week when we return to our regularly scheduled programming (unless I bump into you in Austin before then).
