Bay 12 Games Forum

Exactly what it says on the tin.

Does grand ol' Bay 12 have any airsoft enthusiasts that like to get out on fields or maybe even join milsim games, or at least plays regularly with his/her friends? My curiosity has gotten the better of me.

For those that don't know what airsoft is: Think of paintball, but instead of paintballs and paintball guns, the players use replicas of actual firearms that fire 6mm plastic ball bullets. The whole thing can be a tad bit expensive to invest into, but I feel that it pays off after a few visits to a local airsoft field.

For a more visual explanation, there is a very good youtube channel that offers many airsoft videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/scoutthedoggie.

Lately I've stumbled across a great website called turntable.fm, which places live people as DJ's in a room. I found the website through /mlp/ when somebody posted a thread advertising a pony music room, and I have to say that I've become hooked. I figured, hell, why not start up a Bay 12 turntable.fm room? The crowd can choose to skip songs if they dislike them, or alternatively give them a like and give the DJ playing the song a point. Music of all kinds is welcome and wanted.

An important note: Two DJ's are needed for full songs to play. If only one DJ is in line, then there will only be a sample of the song played. Thus, we must get a bunch of people in here to keep the room going and keep music playing.

I'll use this thread to help organize and manage the room. The only thing required to get in is a Facebook or Twitter account, and if those aren't available then you can also register an individual account. If you do log in using Facebook, there's also an option to change your username.

Get in here, Bay12!

Powder Toy is, as many of you may know, a sandbox physics game that has heat, electricity and pressure simulation. It updates very frequently, and new things are constantly being added. The last powder toy thread that we had dried up in 2010 and I didn't want to necro it, so here you go.

Let's make science.

I've recently gotten heavily into the survival horror genre because of great games like Penumbra, and thus I've began creating Let's Plays on my youtube channel. I'm starting with a semi-blind playthrough of Penumbra: Black Plague, and possibly some intermittent SCP: Containment Breach for now.

I use a face cam in the upper left corner as I play, and since the videos are survival horror, situations get intense and can be rather swear heavy at times. So they're generally not something I would recommend playing out loud with family members around.

I'm going to use this thread so my fellow Bay 12ers can track me if they wish, and post suggestions on games and actions within games. The following post is going to be reserved for organization purposes. I'll provide links down there.

A small notice: I sound very young, and I look kind of young. I am, however, going to legally be an adult in two months. Appearances can be deceiving. I know that whenever I open a youtube video and hear the voice of somebody very young, I can barely stand to watch for more than a few minutes because I can't take them seriously. I don't know how this applies to others, but if the sound of my voice is off putting just bear with me and I'm sure it'll be easy to get used to. I've always been self conscious of the sound of my voice over youtube videos, so I guess that's part of the reason I'm putting this notice here.

This topic has been moved to Creative Projects.

I don't know why, but if something that was relatively unknown begins to get mainstream popularity I start feeling little pangs of anxiety.

I don't know if it's the recognition of the flood of haters that comes in with the flood fans, or some sort of sub-concious hipster coming out in me or what. Take MLP, for example.  The show has been featured on national news sources more than once, and everytime I see it on one of those news sources I cringe a little bit, realizing that the show/work of fiction/whatever may have just gained a lot of mainstream popularity. 
I don't know if it's just a little problem I have, and I don't know what that says about me, but whatever.

Anybody else feel those little pangs of anxiety when you finally realize something is becoming mainstream?

A lone man stands in his tower, awaiting yet another victim to fall to his vast arsenal of weapons.

You awaken on a shore line after days of drifting.  You have nothing but the clothes on your back.  Looking up, you see a lush jungle envrionment, and a wayward sheep staring at you from across the bay.

What now?
