If I'm going after people in a cabin I block in case I go round a corner and they try to shoot me with a flare.

Can't block shotguns though.

Yeah, I forgot about shotguns when I posted that. Those work, but literally nothing else does.

This game had a typical outcome for a Duster Jason round. What sets it apart is that a few people spent more than 10 minutes trying to get out in the four-seater. Also, Duster manages to grab someone out of the drivers seat from the passenger side.

when is holding your breath worth it? it doesn't seem to last long enough to make it a good idea because whenever you let go of the button you loudly gasp. if Jason spends any length of time in the house looking for you he's gonna hear you gasp eventually. actually when is hiding ever worth it at all?

It seems to work best if someone else is in the cabin with you. Hold your breath when he's in the same room as you and hope that the other person runs out of the cabin and leads him away. If you're by yourself it's often better to jump out of your hiding spot and try to run when he gets close.

quidditch it and quit it posted:

Every pun has to be a variant of "ice to meet you" just because it makes no loving sense and Jason just gets confused.

"Pan to meet you"
"Bat to meet you"
"Stick to argh gently caress it he's got me run"

I will forever use the 1984 reference when I use the boot stamp kill as Jason.

Just got a rare Adrenaline Rush perk. 17% increase in stamina boost after escaping a grab, but -3% stamina regeneration. That seems like a lovely trade-off. Am I missing something, or is this just a lovely perk all around?

I got one of those yesterday and immediately sold it because it seemed awful. I could see some situations where it would be useful but it didn't seem worth slotting when there are much better perks.

if you're playing a low-composure character, holding your breath is a desperation attempt to make your character shut the gently caress up when you see Jason near your hiding spot. in practice, the best thing you can hope for is for jason to guess at a hiding place you're NOT currently in, which will give you enough time to pop out and start running.

if you're high composure you only need to use it if you're already super scared.

Just had a Savini Jason tip me out of the boat like 14 times in a row before giving up.

No idea if he sucks or SJ is just that slow, but I was howling that I could 180 and hit X before he could grab me that many drat times.

Sorry to whoever sent the invite tonight. I was heading out for the night.

In other news I love being Chad and this game rules. Was trying to chad out with the 4 seater while Jason was chasing the other councilors around a cabin. Then all this happened.

My favorite thing was the other player who was the leather jacket guy was all about staying in character and was playing off my insults about his jacket.

Please excuse my mic clipping, need to get obs to limit for my stupid laugh.

Story time, since I hosed up saving the video.

I piss off a Jason at Higgins House. He chases me around and through twice. I go upstairs to the hidey corner to get stamina back. He comes in and I run out. He follows me for another lap. This time I hide in the room by the stairs with a window on ground floor. As he's breaking closets and beds, I hear my group say they've got the car started. I tell them I'll keep Jason busy.

So my next move is running to Higgins camp. He shows up outside. The car is long gone. I'm now final girl.

For the next 7 minutes Jason and I are occupying the same long cabin (the kind with lots of cots and a central hallway. He breaks every god drat bed and closet and hallway divider wall, and I'm always just around a corner of an open but unbroken door. For 7 drat minutes I have to hold my laughter as Nintendo Jason keeps going outside​ to hit sense only for me to still light it up red.

Unfortunately, with 2 minutes left he got smart and jogged around a corner as I tripped. He got me, but the lobby exploded in cheers from people who couldn't believe that poo poo worked.

I'm devastated to learn that the ps4 dropped the recording when I went to the main menu.


But, I did save my adventure in having infinitely more patience than Jason as we fought over a boat.

I was in a pubbie game last night where I ran Jason all over the map (as Adam of course) for 12 minutes, and all 6 of the other survivors cruised easily over to the cops without ever even having to see Jason once. Nobody thanked me or anything :( I went to find a new lobby after that, they didn't deserve my Adam!

Just had a great pubby game that started rough, but ended with me as NES Jason taking down everyone + Tommy Jarvis. Traps and morphing really take care of just about anything you go up against as Jason.

So, as mentioned, another session of Science Camp took place last night. We never did get to see what the spread on the shotgun is like, but we did try out the car again, as well as a twist on the car.


We attempted and failed to do the boat test, because it took three tries for the boat to loving spawn, and when it did, the propeller decided it wasn't going to spawn. C'est La Vie

So first and foremost, we discovered that the car can, in fact, run over every single counselor in a row without stopping. Last time Jason must have been too close to Adam player and saved his life. But there is an important caveat to this. If you are caught in a bear trap, either Jason or survivor variant, the car will not kill you. You will warp ontop of the car and become fused there until Jason hits the car making the car kill you.

It's a whole thing.

I also did a minor experiment with a Weekly Jason to see if you guard as Jason, when the sweater is used on you, does it save you. The answer appears to be yes. He was stunned, but when I hit him he did not go to his knees. But I'm not completely convinced on this yet, I'm not sure how reliable that will be for Jason survival.

We also discovered that it's near impossible to kill another player with a loving pan or a pot. Or a wooden board. But that was Fight Club Camp, we don't talk about Fight Club Camp.

Doubt it, they were already charging less than the usual full price for a game and it's only been out a month. You'll probably have to wait till Christmas, and who knows if there will still be people playing by then. Right now I'm pretty optimistic about it but we have a long way to go before December.
