    In which we post the randomest shit we find on YouTube.

    I found a pronunciation guide for my username? Looking at the account, it seems to be a bot generating pronunciation guides for random gibberish words beginning with 'Aa'. I can't think of any good reason somebody would make that.

      Uhhhh...I'm gonna pretend that was a feature

    That happens to me in Left 4 Dead 2 for some reason. It gets kinda annoying that the game is explaining bilejars and pointing out ammo piles for the first campaign of every session.

    Medicinal warlock talks about a cosmetic SilverWolf owns but rightly doesn't want to pay for. Can I just say that header image looks badass? You're getting really good at making SFM images, the lighting and poses in particular Also new SPUF of Legend discussing Crimefest 2017, which ended yesterday with an AMA on reddit

    I made a new game, playable in-browser!

      Reminds me a bit of inner worlds.

      Woah, thanks for showing this to me. It's got the same core mechanic! The plant-collecting concept was inspired by Miasmata, but now I've got a second title for my "_____ meets _____" elevator pitch I have to give in a week.

      Inner worlds is one of those 90's PC platformers which were common but which are largely forgotten as a genre.  Jack Jackrabbit was probably the most famous.  If you're interested in inner world it's actually been made freeware.

    Happy birthday XYTWO. Gone but not forgotten.

    Huh. Maybe they're referring to this? Maybe a mod just discovered SPUF was dead and is leaving a tribute.

    It's happened to me too. I'd have to re upload and the new URL always works. In my experience, it's always the super long names like PartiallyRehydrogenatedSoybeanTsetseFly, I think it somehow exceeds the limit for Wordpress to recognize an embeddable Gfycat url

    "Good game"

    aabicus replied to Razputin's topic in Digital Gaming

    In my opinion the censor effectively neutered the bragging. It's tough to get mad at someone spouting inane gibberish, regardless of what they meant, and any permutation (like 'ez', 'ggez' or 'gg easy') loses effectiveness because it stands out by not being the standard. Before the censor, there was way too many people spamming 'gg ez,' the chat sensor decimated its usage.

    "Good game"

    aabicus replied to Razputin's topic in Digital Gaming

    I always type gg, especially if I lost, unless one team just blew the other out. It's polite.

      Played. Is good considering your experience.

      Thanks! There are definitely bugs and things that could've been better, but I'm learning new things with every project

    RAID WWII

    aabicus posted a topic in Digital Gaming

    Anyone playing the beta right now? It's...interesting. I like a lot of the concepts. I found it difficult to see enemies, they tended to blend really well into the environment, and I wasn't a huge fan of having to press F to collect ammo all over the ground. In Payday you collect ammo automatically and it cut down on the amount of hitreg you had to deal with. But overall it feels very similar to Payday in a good way imo
  15. aabicus
    Dude congrats on Panic Room! (I dont know how to do passwords, Medic will have to help you) I keep meaning to write an article about Payday speedrunning and use your crazy strats as a centerpiece, but despite your many explanations I just still don't understand what black magic fuckery you're pulling off to make that teleporting stuff work.

    Today's article is on Loadout, the Richard Nixon of shooters. I still love Loadout and it was the best game of it's time back when it first came out, shame what ended up happening to it. If only they'd used the annoying-but-lucrative crate system and kept it cosmetic only, we might still have one of the best arena shooters on Steam. I've actually been considering running an "event" for SPUFers to meet up and play some rounds of Loadout together. It's still just sitting there, even if it's deader than a doorknob shaped like a disco ball, we could have a private match if enough people were willing. (In other news, new SPUF of Legend on the recent 12v12 glitch in Overwatch and how Blizzard should make it an official game mode)

    I like him, he's posting comments all over the place. On that note, dunno if Medic mentioned but we opened comments up to the world wide web. Anybody can comment on articles now, whereas previously you had to make an account to post comments. All comments are run through a spam filter and have to be manually approved by me or Medic before going live, so I'm pretty excited because this is just going to be a net positive for conversation on the blog articles.
  18. aabicus
    It's true! I didn't think we'd be humming along four years later. TBH, I expected nobody but me would ever submit articles and it'd die down once I ran out of TF2 stuff to write about, but SPUF surprised me with how much gaming stuff they wanted to write about. Of course, Medic's also largely responsible for the blog's longevity, with her insane writing output and image creating, hosting, and CSS support

    Happy Jump Day!

    Jump Day earned me my first reddit gold :D

    Happy Jump Day!

    Alas, poor Sticky Jumper! I knew him, SPUF: a weapon of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: it hath borne me through the sky a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rims at it. Here lie those rounded bombs that I have exploded I know not how oft. Where be your explosions now? your grenades? your cabers? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set enemy snipers on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen? Now get you to the old SPUF, and tell those there, let them paint the skies with stickies, to this favour they must come; make them laugh at that.

    I enjoyed our more than Medic did, but I have very low standards for entertainment. It relies a lot on jumpscares and childhood fears, so it might not be super scary for adults in the audience

    Paladins

    aabicus replied to Medicinal Warlock's topic in Digital Gaming

    I wish Overwatch had a minion-based healer like that one chick in Paladins who summons illusions. That's a really cool playstyle

    Today's article is Great Moments in Left 4 Dead 2 Speedruns! Also a new SPUF of Legend video on Overwatch's Deathmatch mode!

    Yeah, I hate to admit it, but our nude stuff does wayyyyy better than our other stuff, especially considering how easy they are to write. Though it is one of the reason I don't stream on twitch, because almost everything I play has been nudified except, like, Overwatch and TF2. Ive been really out of it with a sore throat from hell. Been gargling constantly with apple cider vinegar and cayenne pepper, but this is arguably the best time to get this over with before I start college in 3 days.

    Absolutely agree about the absence of larger playercounts in modern games. Most of my fondest gaming moments are from maxed out TF2 servers where anything can happen and the Momentum can shift on a dime. Right now I'm playing a crapton of battlefield 1 for that reason, I'm loving the massive 64-player servers. As a medic you can still make a huge difference by reviving your teammates constantly and trying desperately to keep yourself out of the line of fire.
