Avatar Press. Their output as a company has traditionally been 75% gore porn, 25% various comic-book writers publishing ideas that no other company would be dumb enough to touch. Because they're gore porn. The F13 comics were largely by a guy named Brian Pulido, and "12-year-olds jacked up on sugar" is pretty much his status quo; his claim to fame is that he's the Chaos! comics guy from the '90s, which is an entire comic-book company devoted to making stories out of the kinds of characters that would be vaguely over the top if you found them spray-painted on the bottom of a skateboard in 1991. Before that, though, F13 and Nightmare had a handful of licensed comics under DC's Wildstorm imprint, by some writers who had some chops like Jason Aaron and Chuck Dixon.

weekly font posted:I feel that way about this game. Most of the kills aren't very Jason and I think it's because Hodder has spent more recent time playing the TOTALLY NOT JASON GUYS HAHA NOPE ITS NOT HIM character in those lovely Hatchet movies where the kills are a bunch of ripping in half and breaking limbs. Hatchet is interesting to me because its level of gore is kind of like how people remember '80s slasher movies, while F13 as a game is closer to how the movies actually were. The game's executions are mostly fine, and so many of them are direct homages to one movie or another that I don't have that kind of issue with them. My biggest complaint is that a couple of them have a weirdly long window in which the counselor just sits there waiting for death to happen (i.e. the water pump kill), and I'm not sure why the leg crack or chair crush are even in the game.

Wanderer posted:Avatar Press. Their output as a company has traditionally been 75% gore porn, 25% various comic-book writers publishing ideas that no other company would be dumb enough to touch. Because they're gore porn. Yup, a quick Google search found that Avatar is still around and still publishing porn comics that don't have the balls to actually just be porn comics. I need to check out some of the other NOES/F13 comics. I'm not expecting masterpiece work but anything not published by Avatar is probably good. Unrelated but the old school Hellraiser comics (and the new ones I've read) are some of the best/most infuriating comics I've read as a Hellraiser fan. Mostly because the comics are really good and the movies past 2 have been mostly poo poo. Back on topic, I don't think we're ever going to get a Friday movie like we did in the 80s, not just because of recent legal poo poo to do with the name, but because the studios have no loving idea what they're doing with the property. Paramount, from most other than commentary in the docs about the franchise seemed to have a fairly hands off approach with the franchise. Then New Line took over and we got Jason Goes to Hell and Jason X (I like both) and FvJ which the less is said about the better and finally the remake that's just a bunch of obnoxious poo poo heads being murdered by a Jason with some really dumb extra character work that's awful for him. Basically until something major changes in how Hollywood makes movies, we're probably not going to get a decent franchise resurrection for any of the major slashers because the people with the money are going to focus test the gently caress out of it until it's a bland paste of a film. And considering that Marvel and Star Wars are considered the gold standard for franchises, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Warner (who owns New Line) got the bug up their asses to try and build their own awful cinematic universe with their horror characters.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:I'm really sad that F13 is in the hands of New Line, the company Freddy built, because they've completely lost touch with their origins. Based on some things I've read, we'll be lucky to see another Friday the 13th movie anytime soon. Paramount's attempt got axed earlier this year, and now there's a lawsuit in Massachusetts between the rights holders and the guy who wrote the first movie. Rumor is they have a compromise on the table where the writer gets the rights to the F13 name and the stuff from the first movie as well as domestic distribution rights, while the current holders retain Jason and international rights, requiring an agreement on projects moving forward with both parties and a studio. tl;dr: Any future movies that are called Friday the 13th and have Jason Voorhees might require jumping through more legal hoops than a studio can tolerate. New Line is the least of this franchise's issues right now.

So we just had some Interesting games. I started life tonight as Chubs, did dick all, didn't see Jason til the end when Venus gave me a knife to clown Jason with, and then I just mozied on out. I'm pretty sure that's the same game that Venus then knocked Jason out of the world despite being no where near a car. Because this game runs on bullshit. It was either against Dancer Jason or Nate Jason the first time. Second round around I Vanessaed, and I mostly just hosed with Nate Jason while everyone else got everything else together. I had a pleasant conversation with him around the car before having to knock him the gently caress out and getting away with machete. Weekly threw himself in front of the car to try and stop us but no doing. I and Nate would tangle when he got Jason again, to similar results. The match I wish Tinfoil had stuck around for though, was when I got to be Jason. I rolled Part 7 Jason, as is my want, and immediately found LastDancer at the phone house. At this point, I made a deal with him. He was to not allow anyone else in the four seater, take it, and get out by himself or with Venus. What followed was a nice rousing game of murdering everyone else, where Dancer preformed wonderfully and ran over three people, Nate twice, and he and Venus got away. I killed two people who weren't listening to me, and was going to let Weekly get the car and get out, but Weekly took the cowards way out and attacked me. Disappointment followed. Disappointment and dismemberment. I try to be nice to you fucks, I try to be friendly and kind, but no, you gotta disobey the rules, you gotta touch my phone, and you gotta die. I was going to let Nate get away as well because he was a great sport over at phone house, but the Dancer Car Massacre went down pretty hardcore while I was busy chatting with other people.

They need a clown Jason who beats your rear end with a rubber chicken, I can already think of two kill moves. One where he stuffs a bunch of party whistles and confetti down your mouth than squeezes you so hard you burst out a plume of confetti and the whistles all whistle at once with your last breath. Another where he smashes your head with the chicken and lets your body fall with a screaming chicken noise

I just got out of a fun couple of matches. They were back to back and with the same players. I started up a lobby, and immediately switched to the Crystal Lake map because I refuse to use Packanack due to the sheer amount of cheaters. Almost immediately I get 7 other players and that's where the fun starts. They all have mics and it quickly becomes apparent that they're all kids due to their voices and attitude. Almost immediately they demand I switch to Packanack, which I refuse on the grounds of how buggy it is. They promptly throw a shut fit at me, accusing me of not being fair, to which I politely tell them to deal with it. First match starts, and I play as AJ. Almost immediately I find both the battery and keys and head over to drop them off or fix up the car. When I get nearby, I can hear angry yelling, and at a cabin nearby, I can see Part 2 Jason chasing around a couple kids. Seeing him distracted, I install the battery, and drop off the keys by the car before heading off to the west side of the map, as they get violently murdered in the background. While I'm looting a cabin, someone manages to call the police before getting presumably murdered. It's down to the four of us, so I sneak over to the main road, and in a nearby campsite, I can see a couple players hiding in tents, and another guy on the other side of the map. The timer is at 2 minutes, and I hear the kid telling Jason where we are before getting murdered. Right away Jason spawns at the campsite, and kills another player then chases another into a cabin. During this, I've managed to sneak over to one of the exits and as far away from Jason as possible. As he dies, I hear him tell Jason where I am, just as the police show up on my side of the area. I casually drop firecrackers, and walk out while Jason's screaming at me for not playing fair. Back in the lobby, people were extremely salty that I was the only one to make it out and were accusing me of cheating. It turns out they were using PSN chat to tell Jason where I was during the entire match, but Jason kept going for the wrong counselors nearby instead of me, while I hid in the bushes. I found this out when the Jason player and a few others were having an arguement in the lobby They still stay, as I pick Higgins, but not Packanack, much to their anger. Round begins, and I end up as Part 7 Jason, who everybody immediately means that it's an easy win for them since he apparently sucks. Almost immediately I Morph to the phone and find a counselor inside the cabin. He didn't even lock the doors so I walk in while he's looting a desk. I promptly cook him in the fireplace, while he's accusing me of not playing fair. I start moving around, setting traps at both cars and the phone, before moving to cut the power. During this time, I'm picking off counselors one by one rather easily using shift grab and the machete. They were extremely salty, calling me a "fuckhead" and "rear end in a top hat," especially one guy who locked himself in a cabin with a shotgun, taunting me about how he was safe. I simply walk around and use the back door which is wide open. His back is to me, while he's gloating so he doesn't see me until I grab him and throw him out of the window. I can hear him screaming "Noooo" at the top of his lungs during the animation. The second to last counselor, I chase into the main house and he locks himself into a closet on the second floor, obviously intending to glitch onto the shed roof at the back. I promptly break down the door and am informed he has a knife. I simply start hacking at him, and he drops fireworks, gloating about how I suck. It doesn't last long when he realizes I'm blocking the only way out, and he promptly tries to glitch through the wall, only to die to my machete. The last counselor, I kill in an outhouse in the middle of nowhere, and as we end up at the EXP screen, everybody is raging at me for not playing fair. Just congratulating them on a fun game makes them even angrier since I had killed them all in less than 10 minutes so obviously I couldn't have won without cheating since Jason was so slow, their words, not mine. They all rage quit in the lobby right after that at the same time, and honestly that was the most satisfying round I've ever had. Nicaden fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Jun 28, 2017 |

If you're on Steam there's a patch that's just hit that adds the report feature and fixes the Packanack roof exploit (along with other things, I'm sure). Edit: Seems the crouch bug has been fixed as well.  And the game is no longer limited at 30 fps? (I may be misinterpreting that one from the F13 dev Discord).Ghostpilot fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Jun 28, 2017 |

I watched a few movies finally and had fun though man reading FvJ stuff confuses me. Have no interest in seeing it myself but everything I hear just confuses me. I can't tell if it's worded wrongly or what but I see "kids save Jason so he can fight Freddy" or something along those lines and I just can't wrap my head around it. Like everything I read make it sound like Jason is a superhero and not a murder mutantl.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:I watched a few movies finally and had fun though man reading FvJ stuff confuses me. Have no interest in seeing it myself but everything I hear just confuses me. It's kind of hilarious. By the end of the movie, Most of the main cast is dead, and only one of them, the character the Final Girl did not know and did not care about, was killed by Freddy. EVERYONE ELSE was killed by Jason, or in her boyfriend's case, pretty badly wounded. Literally all of her friends were slaughtered by Jason, and she's still, in the end, after watching him literally murder her best friend in front of her, is sympathetic to Jason and doesn't hate him. But because Freddy killed her mom years and years ago, he's the one she hates, while Jason is her BFF super hero. To be fair, Jason does inadvertently save her from Freddy in the end. It's just hilarious to me that Jason is overwhelmingly the Good Guy of the story, while also being the one that kills absolutely everyone.

I had all four. I remember liking them as a kid. There was a series of young adult Nightmare on Elm Street novels too. I don't remember much about them, but I only had a couple.
