Re: [Official!] Project Horizons Comment Crew Chat thread.

Some people have tried to tell me I'm attractive, but I don't think so. It's hard to be attractive when my ribs are visible no matter how muscular I get.

I dunno, some people are into ribs. for instance, I play a mean xylophone

[tylertoon2]

I'm willing to bet the only reason I've had anyone flirt with me is because:

1. I'm tall, strong and tough
2. How friendly I am

Exactly. Jokes aside, you have that whole gentle giant shtick going on. And while a ways from classically handsome, you're pretty cute. So to people who don't know you, as long as you weren't being outwardly violent or insane, you'd project a feeling of safety, stability, and comfort. And to people who do know you, well, less stability perhaps but a lot more fun.

All in all, far from an unattractive package to anyone who isn't trying for a prince, a bad boy, or a movie star.

As a man who likes men I second this statement. Granted you are not a total bombshell but you are adorable looking.

That is probably part of the angle, the gentle giant thing. And I can also second the allure of having someone big at your side, it's like a popular fantasy for people, especcally women. To have a big strong partner who is also a total sweet heart gentle giant but won't think twice of beating the head in of anyone who messes with you.

[Ketchup]

I don't flirt, and people don't flirt with me. Works pretty well, given that I don't speak to people who aren't friends or friends of friends, it isn't likely for me to actually talk to someone who would flirt with me. Besides, when people talk to me, it usually isn't something other than a question.

Though I wouldn't see a flirtatious comment if someone hit me in the face with one anyway.

[tylertoon2]

As for flirting I don't really understand it. I talk to people. I pay them compliments, and jokes, and sometimes insults depending on who they are and what they've done.

What is flirting? I know the term and I know what it describes. But I don't know when it occurs.


Unrelated note: Stop drinking the extra large sodas from fast food places. It is FAR TOO MUCH SUGAR AND CAFFEINE GAH!

[Quotidian]

Funny that flirting is the current topic. If this had come up a week ago I'd say I was miserably bad at it and hang my head in shame, but a few days ago, I went to a poetry reading for a class of mine, ran into a classmate there and, long story short, ended up with her number and one hell of a goodbye kiss.

Of course, me being me, I'm now convinced that it was just the alcohol and she won't actually want to have anything to do with me. -_-

Basically, it's joking and giving complements for the sole purpose of showing that you're interested in whoever you're talking to and trying to get them to see that you're interested and reciprocate.

I know the feeling, years of utter bastards and bitches mocking the very thought of someone liking me and deadpan sarcasm has left me very paranoid of anyone paying me a complement let alone being interested in me. Barring my trusted friends of course.

Alcohol? Oh right college.

Okay, the revision is in! This one is in one large block, so you may find it below for your convenience.

[CamoBadger]

Quick question.

What are folkses opinions on parallel universe/alternate reality stories? (I still can't really tell which term is 'correct', since both seem to be used with very very similar definitions).

I ask because I'm working on a non-pony universe story that will both be used for my Fiction class, as well as a personal project that I've wanted to do for a while.

[Ironmonger]

Since I'm late to the party:

I have a track record of getting hit on a lot by women, but I'm usually so wrapped up in my current task that I'm oblivious to the occurrence. I'm usually the strong silent type when I get nervous, so that's normally what girls see unless I'm around friends.

[Cptadder]

Bioshock Infinite has been conquered. The circle is closed and I am sad because there's no new pretty environments to wander around after I've thrown crows at everyone and then shot them as they fail around helplessly.

No seriously in the game the vigor Murder of Crows is pretty much "everything I can kinda see" gets pecked at by Crows and they all flail around helplessly for about six seconds. Which is more than enough time to shoot half of them and throw crows at the rest.

Oh, and I finally watched part 4 of phoenix wright mlp turnabout storm.

This series is SO AWESOME

I have plans to re-watch that one of these days never saw part 4.

[Stringtheory]

Anyone see Double Rainboom? pretty good, though didn't live up to the hype of course, didn't see that crossover coming however...

[StoneSlinger88]

Reminds me of the rats in Dishonoured.

[Moodyman90]

Heh, looks like we almost beat it at the same time.

I went with more weapons upgrade then the Vigors. I wish I had done more with Vigors, but other then powering up Possesion and using it... didn't get much of a handle on them.

But I got really good with the guns. Pulling off headshots with the Hand Cannon when the sniper rifle would have been better.

Return to Sender was awesome once you got the ammo collection upgrade with it, but if I had to choose Crows was one of my favorites

[Moodyman90]

Return to Sender turned into a God Send during the Siren fights.

Especially once I had gotten my ass handed to me multiple times during that first fight and I was just trying anything. Also, good thing I wasn't on 1999 Mode cause I ran out of cash and ammo over the course of that fight.

The other two times not so much. Lamed it out the last one. Grabbed a sniper rifle and got as far away as I could. Seems like on regular Hard mode the enemies still can't aim for shit at long distances. Though at the same time I was getting headshots and had that gear that stuns enemies.

[Kippershy]

I almost never put down the carbine on Bioshock Infinite.
I headshot nearly everyone with that beast of a gun, made sure to give it every single upgrade possible.

Hand cannon was good, though I didn't often take it for long stretches due to ammo constraints... then again, I ended up with 4k cash...
Shotgun usually made my second weapon acquaintance.


As for vigors, I didn't tend to use them. I always always always had the game shouting USE YER VIGORS at me but because I rarely upgraded them, instead choosing to do my shield and health, I never had much salt to spare to use them for.


Fucking loved the game though. GOTY for me, definitely.


I went into the siren area with no ammo pretty much, because I stupidly didn't buy any before crossing the bridge.
First siren fight was scary, resorted to the pistol laying around and even then almost ran out of ammo with that.
After that, I went all MGS on that part.

Okay, quick questions :

- Do I need to have played and finished Bioshock 1 & 2 in order to enjoy playing Infinite Y/N ?
- Is there a demo ?


Because all this hype makes me kind of curious of playing it, but I'm hesitant to spend €50 on a game I'm not sure I'll even have time to play ; considering the box for Bioshock 1 has been sitting on my desk for literally years and I haven't gotten past the initial two or three hours of gameplay yet (to be fair, the game crashing / taking a while to load may have had something to do with that).

[Harmony Ltd.]

That game and Dishonored seems like they could be cool, but the time I spend playing games is so little these days that it took me a week to finish an old game I played in less than a third of the time when I was younger.

[Cptadder]

Bioshock 1 would be good to play but only so you know understand that there is always a city, always a man and always a lighthouse. If you need a copy I have one sitting around.

And no demo


And yes the Carbine is oh so lovely. Oh it's a semi auto sniper without zoom? Fuck your zoom I got crows. And yes swicked the upgrade makes everything glorious.
The biggest thing holding it back is the lack of being able to carry extra salts means it's impossible to set areas up as traps. It's a very fast and fluid gunbattle game pausing only to let your shield recharge.

[Harmony Ltd.]

The first one is already installed on my computer, it's just that I haven't been arsed playing it yet.

Well, given Sim City is still shitting itself apparently, telling me "Your city seems to be malfunctioning, let us try to help you out kick you out of the game and make you lose the last 20 minutes of gameplay" maybe I'll try to advance the game I have...



Fucking Sim City.

I have around twenty / thirty "moving in vans" (or however the fuck you call those, google tells me "Pantechnicon van") which have been running in circle on the same path downtown for the last... oh, five hours of gameplay ?

[Kippershy]

I've gotta get back into SimCity.
After trying to build that great work and being told I have to wait some undisclosed amount of time I got tired of it with how much I was playing it constantly.

Blarg. I will get back into it.

It definitely sucks that they made the city connections so fucking shitty and don't let a whole map interact, it's a load of bullshit.

[Harmony Ltd.]

FYI, the great work is ready, we only need to ship it resources now. That's what I was trying to do, but I can't play a city for more than one hour before it tells me my cities have "problems" and it kicks me back to the main screen, forcing me to wait I don't even fucking know how long to play them again because every time I'm so frustrated I just ragequit.





Fuck it, I'm just going to play Civilization 5 for a bit.

[Frost]

The only reason I'd ever play SimCity would be to summon Cthulhu to destroy my city and hear the screams of the children

Oh, and yeah, Bioshock 1.

You wouldn't even have to complete it, I wouldn't say. Just get through the first two levels to have an idea of what the music is like, what the atmosphere is like and all that kind've stuff.
Why? Not because it's absolutely essential as such, but it makes for awesome moments when you realise the atmosphere is so much alike, even if its polar opposite in layout.

Don't open this spoiler, seriously.

Ahh, okay. I have over half the required processors and so it'll be an easy job to sort that out. I'll feed that over to it later today.

[Moodyman90]

Between the Siren and the Boys of Silence, the game got scary and creepy in a hurry during the last quarter of the game. And that Crow in the bank. Been fighting the guys for most of the game, and it's at the bank they want to make them creepy again with their teleporting? Geeze.
But yeah, I used stealth when it came to the area after you cross the bridge. Also one of the few times I used the trap version of Vigors. Laid out Devil's Kiss and Shock Jockey and waited for the rush after putting a bullet in the head of a BoS.

And yeah, that fucking ending. At loved it, but at the same time I was.. confused to say in the least.
Then I remembered I was playing a game with dimension hopping and minor time travel and stopped trying to figure out the metaphysics of it all. So I still love it.

Heh, not to mention the post-credit scene.

[Kippershy]

I hate to be "that guy" Kipper, but what you're talking about is the Boys of Silence as they where called in the previews, the Siren was that, hold on.

Oh, okay. Thanks for letting me know.
Huh... well, that name doesn't really suit them too well, personally. I mean, their heads just make 'siren' so much more fitting. As for what the siren actually was, I just thought of that as what it actually was (what you called it) rather than going for any mythological names.
Yeah, definitely at the vigor part. I trapped the staircase before hitting the switch because it just SCREAMED out to me "trap this location here".
It was a classic set-up.
"Here's an objective, hit that and enemies come."

So yeah, I knew to trap that area.


Not in spoilers because its pretty generic stuff, in my mind. Nothing really spoilery about it.

[Moodyman90]

I find it funny you ended up using the original version of my post which I edited because I thought I had misunderstood what you had typed and didn't want come across an insane dick.

I still am but I guess it works out.

I guess my next playthrough I can give Vigors more of a chance. I don't think I used Bucking Bronco or whatever the water based one is, Riptide or Undertow? outside of when I first got them.
