Bay 12 Games Forum

Got sick the first week which robbed me of all creativity, had a crapton of assignments for school, missed one meetup after another, and now I'm still at just over 2,000 words, looking at my crappy story and realizing that I have nowhere for it to go. Goddammit, another year or failure 

I'm fine with video games having an enforced ratings system.  Anything beyond that starts to set off massive alarms for me, because it's getting into familiar repression territory.

Agreed. I have no problems with knowing what I'm getting into when I'm checking out a new game. I'm even fine with letting stores choose not to sell adult games (after all, there's always digital distribution). I have real problems when random talking heads want to outright ban stuff, because I know that they're not all as incompetent as Jack Thompson.

_{was gonna TvTrope link here, but apparently Jack's page got removed}

Thing is, the company that makes TF2 (Valve) also runs Steam, so a lot of their games run on it. Sorta like EA with their Origin client and their games, but actually semi-trustworthy
Could you have picked up the Trojan elsewhere?

@ Max: Well, that's good. Pesky heroes are always causing trouble.

That doesn't make a lick of sense <_<;

Just checking, but did you download it from the official site?

It was a Blood Moon. I thought my defenses were near-impenetrable. I knew Clowns were rare - indeed, I had gone some Blood Moons without seeing a single Clown. When one showed up and and was crushed by my boulder trap, I figured the worst was over and went to check on the back entrance to my fortress.

I returned to the front gate just in time to see a second Clown drop a bomb on the walkway.

Almost as if this were planned, half a dozen Possessed Armors leaped through the hole and charged. I counterattacked, my Godly Night's Edge swinging, but one managed to break into the Guide's room and slaughter him. And then the Clown returned. I managed to slay it before it could drop another bomb, but was swarmed and killed by Wandering Eyes and Armor.

I respawned in my room, determined to seal the breach as soon as I could, but no sooner had I cleared the fortress of enemies and hastily patched the bridge did yet another Clown appear. The makeshift bridge detonated before I could reset the boulder trap and I was killed again, still weakened from respawning.

The Clown was now inside the fortress, tossing bombs every which way. Possessed Armor began breaking down doors to other homes, threatening the occupants. This was the first time a Blood Moon seriously threatened or frightened me.

Eventually I managed to drive off the enemies and survive the night, but it cost me two more deaths and the loss of the Dryad and Tinkerer.

Also can't ride a bike. Impossible for me to push on a pedal without making the entire bike fall over. FUCKING PHYSICS, HOW DOES IT WORK? 

Balance.
Mah strategy for that was retrying it till I either bleed to death or stopped failing. It worked, But I wouldn't reccomend it.

>Have someone hold your bike so you don't fall
>That somebody stops holding your bike
>Somehow not fall

WITCHCRAFT! Seriously though...*no* balance. I flipped a bike with training wheels.
As a kid, I weighed about 80 lbs but had size 12 feet. I never needed to learn balance because I was so bottom-heavy.

just remember, ice skates have razor sharp blades!

hope you don't fall over and have someone go over your fingers!

...

This is why I never go ice skating.

Even if you don't lose a finger or two, falling down (and you WILL fall down) hurts more than you'd expect. Especially when you actually get some decent speed going and accidentally dig your toes into the ice.

This is totally not personal experience, honest
