Thats not the end of it. Today I was cleaning my room and just it hit me again. This damn game. I just sort of fell on the floor and stayed there for a while. I wish I could say I was exaggerating or hyperbole but I'm not. I guess I just wasn't ready for something like this. I'd tell you to go to the doctor, but I don't think there's treatment for this shit.

Loved the episode(s) Ross. The only problem I have with it is that in all of the recent episodes you don't do the one or two second cutaways. You know, like in Tyrian where you say "I have a ship that's a carrot."

you asked whether or not I saw a UFO. Fuck if I know. You tell me. It was a cold night on December 23rd. Despite being Christmas time there was few people on the roads-- even for this area. My buddy and I were heading to a bar. I offered to be his DD because I had nothing better to do. On our way there I was looking out the back of the car. I see this balloon...blimp...Zamboni...parachute...thing. It looked to be a blimp, yet had no cabin on the underside. I could see everything about it clearly as it was floating around 30 feet in the air; just over the trees. A tan-peach illumination resonated from the center. The "skin" of this thing looked paper thin, yet somehow supported its self. Slightly translucent from this light, there looked to be nothing inside it. No shadows. No people. It was not a weather balloon. It wasn't rising, yet maintaining a constant speed and trajectory. In relation to our car (moving 35 MPH) it appeared to be moving 25 MPH. As I stare in awe, I realize I should tell my buddy. I turn to him and say "look to your right." It was gone. This thing flat out disappeared from the face of the earth. I know I wasn't hallucinating. Edit: The only record I can find of this man with little research is his Marriage license. Another edit: According to that site she and her husband moved to Marble, NC after they moved to Blairsville, GA. Ironically, they lived in Jupiter, FL.

"THIS IS OFFICER SCOTT OF THE POLISH NATIONAL POLICE FORCE ORDERING YOU TO OPEN UP" "GET ON THE GROUND! I CAN SOLVE 1000 PROBLEMS A MINUTE WITH THIS AND YOU'RE ONE OF THEM!" *While in cuffs the criminal turns to Ross* "Has anyone ever told you that you look like Gordon Freeman?" "...Yes."

You can tell he's geeking out. That's not to say I wouldn't do the same if in his seat.

As I said before, I'd be willing to type up subs for you if you're busy. Have a happy vacation, Ross, hope your vacation isn't as shitty as this game. As far as I know, Nintendo is still doing their seal of approval. I only think they've changed the logo once, and that was to make it an oval. Speaking of shitty controls, flash games are ripe with that shit. You'd think the developers would have at least 1 buddy that would say "Hey, uh, dude, what the hell is this?" to the controls. Unless I'm playing an MMORPG, the controls shouldn't be that complicated. It's understandable with specific kinds of games, but not a beat em' up, or a puzzle game, or a platformer.

I'm always up to do subtitles if you're ever too busy. Edit: Forgot this: "Mazes you wander the same area over and over because you have to." This reminds me of the Half-Life Lambda Core

I wouldn't think of his reaction to the boss, but more of how he's gonna fight the beast. He Has Denied Himself access to all the powerful weapons in the game and probably missed the Crossbow, leaving him with only a SMG, Pistol, some grenades, and an RPG. This isn't gonna end very well... I think when he gets to the weapons locker at the end, still high on morphine, he'll agree to do it.

I can't remember where I heard it, but I saw someone say something like this: "I've been shot at, beaten, bitten, snot on, bombed, electrocuted, stung by strippers, chased, knocked out, crossed dimensions, started a resonance cascade, attacked by at least 10 alien species, drowned, deprived of sleep, subjected to radiation, almost sliced in half by lasers, launched a missile, chocked, bled on, almost broke every bone in my body, shot at by tanks, suffered head trauma AND I WAS LATE FOR MY FIRST DAY OF WORK! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! ARRRRGH!" *Starts shooting* I made a comment kinda like that one on FM #54 when it came out. Yep, yours was the comment I was recalling. I can totally see Freeman doing that.

There have been a few mods that have featured him, the only one I can think of is Absolute Redemption. And even there he was caged up. Curiously enough, the level he was in was called "Fun times at the Carn'evil." I think a game where you face the problems someone who has glasses would have would be cool. Dirty, blurry, scratchy, lost and shattered glasses would be neat if implemented properly.

He had a wedge put behind him so he didn't accidentally roll away? Oops, sorry, typed that in a rush. Choked* With how the Alien Invasion is going, I wouldn't be surprised if they actually tried something like that. I mean, after all, you can't expect strippers to be the best strategists.

I actually haven't done any drugs, though I have known many stoners. I was basing this on morphine being a depressant and sometimes creating a euphoria feeling, but not necessarily impeding higher brain functioning. I have had weed incidentally before when I was fixing a friend's computer at the same time he was hotboxing the room with it with his friends. I actually hated the experience, it made me much more aggressive. I could FEEL myself become dumber and found it very frustrating. I remember thinking that if I never knew what it was like to feel smarter than this, it might not be so bad, but as it was, I found it horrible. Some people become enraged after being administered anesthesia. Some people even become homicidal and have to be restrained. As always, great work, Ross.

One, wonderful as always, Ross. Two, while HD is a bit better, I think it's somewhat pointless unless you decide against not doing Black Mesa. However, I wouldn't mind an official version of Freeman's Mind redone in Black Mesa.

That is so far from true that I can't decide if I find it depressing or hilarious that you believe it. The people we send to prison aren't a bunch of violent animals. Certainly some are, bur they're a tiny minority just amongst the people who actually did something, who are in turn a tiny minority. Most people in prison are there for minor drug offenses. They never did a fucking thing wrong, and they got thrown into an environment of intolerable abuse and daily loss of human dignity so people like your friend's scumbag boss can keep soaking up massive amounts of goverment money. Most of them are timid, cowardly victims of our corrupt and abusive system who would give anything to be treated like a fucking human being again. And if you think most of the abuse comes from other inmates, you're wrong. Prison guards, by their very nature, abuse the inmates constantly and think they're entirely justified because they see the people on the other side of the bars as subhuman animals, just like you do, even though all most of them did was put a substance into their OWN BODY. Which is done at the same time that the pharmaceutical industry rakes in massive amounts of money selling unsafe drugs like ritalin, oxycodone and methamphetamine (why yes, methamphetamine is also used as a psychiatric medication for two "illnesses" that don't exist), that they know aren't safe and are likely to kill people, including children which two of those three are primarily prescribed for, which the FDA knows aren't safe and doesn't do a damned thing about because they're just as bought off as the congressmen that keep our ridiculous drug war going. No, I do not see them as subhuman animals. There are people in prisons for a host of reasons. When you piss someone off that's in for a life sentence, they'll just try to kill you. What are you going to do, throw them in prison? I'm done talking to you, if I say anything else, i'll say the wrong thing. You've called me a liar, a fool, and then told me that I don't think prisoners are people. I'm out.

And that the inmates didn't have a real knife they could have really stabbed him with and not risked breaking it, and that the inmate was likely stabbing him out of anger, not fear. If you want to know the difference between what happened with him and a real stabbing, go pick up a pair of scissors. Look at the last centimetre of that, then look at a knife. There's the difference in the wound alone. Even that isn't all of it, there's a difference in the impact between a light hit on body armour being careful not to break a shiv, and a hard stab into soft, squishy flesh. The former barely hurts, the latter would crack bones and damage organs even without a knife present. And neither of them compares to the kind of force people put in when in a life or death situation. We always hold back no matter what, being careful not to cause ourselves injury and only using a little of our strength. In a life or death situation, which we have failed to handle with our brains, we stop conserving as much of our strength and stop worrying about whether we're going to break out wrist, or throw out a shoulder. We still don't hit as hard as we really can, but we put in a whole lot more force than we would normally put into anything. In that circumstance even just a punch would break ribs, rupture lungs, and possibly force the broken ends of those ribs through the lungs, quite likely leaving a fatal wound even without a weapon. With a blade, so much force is put into it that the user's hand frequently forces its way into the wound. Had the inmate stabbed him out of fear for his life, which is way more likely than you might think because no matter who your friend is normally as a person he's going to be a total bastard as a prison guard by the very nature of the job (look up the Stanford Prison Experiment, a frequently replicated and confirmed experiment on the matter), your friend would be dead no matter what weapon his attacker used. Even if the attacker didn't have a weapon he'd be dead. He would have been dead before medical attention even became a factor, or before the attack was even close to over. Tough-asses don't last in prison. I mean, you've got thousands of inmates and a hundred guards. It just seems like they'd be dead before the day's over, doesn't it? I'm probably wrong, though. Whatever the inmate used (I can't say what exactly he used for a shiv; wouldn't know) somehow pierced his armor. He obviously bled, so I wonder: How many light pierces would it take for someone to bleed to death, given enough time?

How is a knife smaller than a shank? I could believe the shank being longer, but not bigger than the actual blade. The prison guard's Armour doesn't really help when you're being stabbed, shank or not. In regards to the deepness, you make a good point. There'd still be a fair amount of bleeding, probably enough to kill you without immediate attention, though. That all still doesn't explain what kind of lunatic wouldn't quit after being stabbed so many times. Wait, uh, disregard that question. We all know someone that's done that before. Shivs are generally a sharp, thick piece of metal on the end of a long handle, like that of a fork. The handle has extra length to increase penetration depth without needing a longer blade, and other than being fragile is just as good. It's a better weapon due to its length. Also, she was stabbed with a steak knife. Go look at your knife block. See the little ones on the bottom? Those are steak knives. No thickness, no breadth, and fairly short. And the scissors, while thick, taper too much and are too short. Neither one really works. Steak knives leave tiny wounds, and scissors don't reach vitals. A shiv is better than either. Guard armour is thick and includes one trauma plate and one layer of chain. Underneath tgis is heavy padding. It's actually fairly effective against most improvised stabbing weapons, including shivs, forks, writing utensils and similar, as such a weapon would have to pierce the plate, then break the chain *and* depress the padding for the entire width of the plate. The heart is basically unreachable through it with anything shorter than 20cm, and difficult with anything under 30cm. Shivs may be longer than scissors and thicker than steak knives, but they're still too short to get in easily, and their thin design makes them too fragile to survive a hard enough impact to reach vitals. If it was 56 without breaking the shiv, they didn't put enough force in to do a damned thing or the handle would have snapped. It's more a prod than a stab. And so what if you have other stories of similar but somewhat lesser stories? I can link to a guy who was shot 27 times with 9mm and .40 calibre bullets, and I really can, but if I said I knew somebody who was shot 32 times with a .45, that wouldn't be good evidence. But we've hijacked this thread long enough, so let's stop. Then I guess it was better than I thought that he wore his armor.

No, it's not Second source, just because Even if the numbers weren't 56 and they were stabbed all over the body, it still can and did happen. Hell, he had better odds considering there was medical attention in the building. Edit: Removed first 2 quotes and am adding this link So we've got what, a smaller number with a smaller and vastly inferior weapon twice in a row, and almost no information in a third. Great evidence. And funnily enough, the part about him being a prison guard means I kinda believe you now. But first, explain how it makes sense to be able to survive 56 of something that one of is usually fatal. You know how. Go ahead and say it. It's one word, six letters. Starts with an "a", end with an "r". Something prison guards wear, that means he really wasn't stabbed because the object didn't enter significantly into his body. Yeah, that's it. Armour. Prison guards wear armour. For this exact reason. Doesn't count. How is a knife smaller than a shank? I could believe the shank being longer, but not bigger than the actual blade. The prison guard's Armour doesn't really help when you're being stabbed, shank or not. In regards to the deepness, you make a good point. There'd still be a fair amount of bleeding, probably enough to kill you without immediate attention, though.

I think it's fun to do stuff like this, as long as it doesn't dissolve into anything. In regards to the human body being able to take a hit, a friend of mine was stabbed 56 times in the chest. He lived to tell the tale. I'm going to be the first to say I don't believe you. The impacts alone from 56 consecutive stabbings would be fatal, as each stab is basically a punch in the chest. We don't normally think about it, but the human body can put out huge amounts of force on a whim, and each of those impacts would be enough to break bones on its own. There's a reason more people die from single stab wounds than single gunshot wounds. Further, killing people is surprisingly easy, the only hard thing to do is killing somebody immediately. Even fairly small wounds frequently prove fatal through blood loss. This takes time, but so does the arrival of medics and the treatment of wounds. The only way this is possible is if the stabbings happened over multiple separate instances, and that's not what you said. Considering that he worked as a prison guard, I'd say medical attention is right there. Granted, it's rare to be stabbed THAT much and live for the exact reasons you stated, but it can happen. Good thing he had a radio, huh? Also, by chest, I mean this area right here My fault for not specifying a bit of the upper abdomen was involved, but that's the area I consider "chest" to be. I never said it was with a knife, either. Prisoners aren't allowed knives; I'm amazed he didn't get some kind of infection. Most inmates probably couldn't go tit-for-tat with Manny Pacquiao, either. I still can't fathom why he didn't quit.

There is. http://pyz.socialgamer.net/index.php I've known about that for some time. I meant a Cards Against Freemanity specific version. Not a deck, but a game just dedicated to Freeman.

Huh. I could have sworn that you used infinite ammo to make filming easier.

I'm in IT, and I've done a lot of stupid shit during repairs. Among them: Not grounding myself while removing the charge from an old CRT (one of the ones that still had the switch for eye-strain reduction) and I got shocked. Good thing I always have someone on duty just in case things go horribly wrong. That's why I now use a screwdriver held to another screwdriver with some heavy-gauge wire. I buddy of mine gave me the idea.

Cards Against Freemanity...I like this idea. Black cards: _! It's not as strong as _, but it lets you _! This sounds like a job for ambassador _.
