I was never emotionally abused, but my parents did kind of fuck me up emotionally because of their own quirks/hangups.

How many people here play PAYDAY 2, now? We should get a group going.

It's supposedly a classic, and there are some mods out there that add HD (or at least higher quality) textures. I say go for it.

Not sure how active the first one is. I definitely recommend the second one, though.

That one I remember. I could have sworn the fire thing was implemented somewhere as well, the idea being the afterburn would keep some of the damage going after the Heavy switched away from the gloves. Must have just been in a thread, or something.

I'm having a bit of a memory lapse, here. I distinctly recall a version of the GRU that lit the Heavy on fire instead of dealing regular self damage but I don't see anything about that on the wiki. Was that ever in game? Was it the Beta, or TF2 tightrope, or was it just suggested by the community?

Got that and F.E.A.R. Now I'm done buying shit. Honestly. I really am. I'm probably not.

The subSPUF subforum subsubforum?

Yeah, that's the issue with paying for a dedicated server. The last time we tried it there were very few regulars and it just didn't seem worth the money.

I guess a truth of thread is just your run of the mill confession thread in this case? If it doesn't make sense to do, it doesn't really matter to me if you add a thread/subforum one way or the other. I was just thinking if it was enough of an issue for commander to make a rule about it might make sense to contain all that shit in one place. Plus he's already subdividing controversial topics, anyway.

Could we just have one official "The Truth Of" thread? That way if people need to apologize/confess their whatever they can do it without cluttering the boards. You could add a "Conflict Resolution" section to Private Discussion or something where people can hash shit out, unless you think that would be a complete disaster.

Yup. You go on a heist to steal a sample of the green flu virus. Like EB said though, that's the first PAYDAY.

Yeah I hope that one wins, I can scrounge up enough for System Shock 2 if it does. I think I disturbed myself a bit much playing FEAR as like the first shooter I ever touched... It was a bit of a jarring transition from the Harrry Potter platformer I had been playing as like my one game beforehand. I'd like to get FEAR and System Shock 2 as well. I don't usually like buying older games but for a couple of bucks it's pretty easy to justify.

Dr. Strangelove was one of those movies that I "got" and respected on an objective level, but didn't particularly like.

My list so far: some PAYDAY 2 DLC Resident Evil 4 Rogue Legacy The Walking Dead: 400 Days The Witcher 2 (yes, I know I should have already bought it, shut up)

I'll see if I have what I'd need to host the server if no one else can. I've considered doing it before even though I lack the expertise. The only issue with that is I'm also moving, probably some time around September, and whatever I'm running it on probably won't be coming with me then, either.

subSPUF really hates me today, apparently. Still getting DB errors. When I refreshed and got past them, the site wouldn't let me log in for a couple of minutes.

Debating whether or not I should get Dark Souls. It looks like a fun challenge but it could easily fall into the never played/never beaten category of summer sale games. Also, does anyone own the "Ultimate HD Edition" of Resident Evil 4? Is it any good? I loved RE4 but the original PC port kind of sucked. Doesn't seem like it would be worth buying if it's only a graphical update.

So apparently there's going to be a live action Attack on Titan movie. Not sure how they're going to make that maneuvering gear work convincingly in the "real world" but it could be good.

Ah, wiki must not have updated yet. Good.

This could be pretty cool. On a somewhat related note, why isn't the B.A.S.E. Jumper usable in medieval mode, if only for fun?

Meh. I'll bite. I don't have any abandoned main concepts but within this superhero-esque thing I've been sketching out I have several abandoned story threads. For instance, I'm writing a time traveler character who appears throughout the events of the "series" out of order. Certain characters meet an older version of him first and other characters are introduced to his "present" self in parallel. The issue is the timeline the main story takes place in eventually experience a significant change. The intended sequence events is altered in order to save the lives of several characters. However, that also means everything the traveler does "after", or really before the split doesn't make any sense. The timelines are so drastically different that you can't really argue the idea that he "just did the same thing in both" or some plot hole plaster like that. I basically wrote myself into a corner and I've had to re-work his entire storyline, which still doesn't entirely make sense. I'm also having trouble figuring out how to resurrect a character far down the line. For the most part when people die they're gone for good (barring a major time travel event, which only happens once) so I feel like it needs to be a big event. The character in question is essentially a colony organism. He functions more like a highly evolved bacteria than a human being. His cells can function independently allowing him to divide into multiple organisms and he can infect other humans. His ability set also includes altering his genes at will and nearly limitless regenerative capabilities that allow him to heal and express modified genes instantaneously. He's heavily inspired by "The Thing" and is probably the most dangerous villain in this fictional universe. At the climax of his first storyline, he goes up against a group of people who are more or less this universe's Avengers. He kills all but three members, two of which end up infected with his cells. In the end all but one dies in the process of finally destroying him. The last surviving member ends up going on the run from the Government as part of a sequence of unrelated events. Her entire team is dead and she's kind of traumatized by all the fucked up things she's seen during her career, and essentially retires. This is where things get hazy. The original idea was that the Scourge (which is his working title, I guess) has a contingency plan in which he actually infects all of the "Avengers" before the fight, meaning that victory was futile to begin with, and he ends up lying dormant in the last surviving member. Having no idea she's a carrier she goes off the grid and in what appears to be the end of her story line she settles down somewhere. She meets a guy who becomes her love interest and upon getting together with him, the Scourge selects him as its new host and he's instantly assimilated/killed in front of her. I just can't find a reason for that to work, though. At first the idea was that, since this woman was a teleporter, her body wasn't stable/consistently solid enough on a molecular level for him to infect her directly and the Scourge is waiting for a viable host. That seems kind of ridiculous. Then there was the concept that the Scourge was always capable of assimilating her but decided to infect her loved one simply out of spite, which doesn't seem true to his character as he would have resurrected himself as soon as possible. Maybe he was lying dormant and was on some kind of "timer" but again, it doesn't make much sense. I really liked this extremely disturbing way of reintroducing the guy, but at this point I'm not sure there's a way to make it work.

I'll have to invite you to the SPUF CounterStrike group one day so we can all shit around in terribleness. I'm fairly sure that Jordax, Davjo, and Magickus are the best ones here at CS. I'm pretty shit because I know all these good smokes and flashes and other strategies, but I can't act them out. Honestly, when you're unranked, most people are going to try to run really shitty strats. People will run around with Bizons and Tec-9s, trying to rush into A through short without smoking off mid all while swinging around corners with grenades in hand, being complete bait for any competent CT. I'd be up for some CS:SPUF. I'm kind of intimidated by Counter Strike, honestly. I haven't played much of it but I'm pretty sure I'd be shit at it and the vibe I get is that it's all pretty srs.

I would have had it in there regardless. Metroid Prime and Echoes rank among my favorite games (although I think the second one isn't quite as good). Thanks for the rating.

Season four of the Boondocks was one of the most disappointing things I've ever watched. The finale didn't even try to redeem the rest of the season and left the main storyline completely unresolved. Sad to see this show go out with a muddled, painfully unfunny whimper. Just awful.
