Jason Goes to Hell is a very good 10 minute short film that ends when the FBI blow up Jason.

A great end to the series right there.

The rest of it is a made-for-TV movie about an alien parasite or something.

Anyone on ps4 finding the random counselor / Jason selection to not be very random? It seems like every time I sit down to play a few rounds I'll just roll the same thing every single match. This makes me sad when I wind up playing as Kenny and J3 all evening.

It's random, the problem is that it's truly random. I've spent a lot of time writing code that generates stuff randomly and if you use true, real randomness, ironically, the results don't seem that random. Typically you have to tinker with the results.

In this example it would be better if, rather than picking a counselor at random, it shuffled all of the counselors and kept track of which ones you'd played as recently.

I got Jenny Myers so often I took random off.

I chose Adam and then it randomly spawned me next to the cabin with the fuse 5 games in a row. So that was nice.

Yeah, I seem to get Kenny and Jason VII disproportionately on random.

Once you get to part 6 of a series about a killer zombie-man you HAVE to get your tongue in your cheek and that's exactly what parts 6-Freddy do. Highlights being 6 and X. The former for being smart and funny about it and the latter for just having fun with it.

They're literally teenagers who have mental health problems and need counseling. They've done NOTHING wrong.

Reggie loses his entire remaining family in an ugly, brutal way.

Random people get murked for no goddamn reason.

If you can enjoy that, and I do for a few reasons, it makes for a fun time. If you don't then that's just another thing to turn you away from it. 5 is the movie where morality went to die.

I just watched 6, and I enjoyed the tone so much more than 5. Yeah cool people still died, but the movie didn't relish in the deaths like 5 did. Also surprisingly for an 80's movie (and following the heels of 5) not a single tit, even with a sex scene.

So far 5 is the only one I'm not sure id watch again, and if I want to see Violets dance there's always youtube.

5 is the only one (aside from 3 and 8)that I'm hesitant to watch again because it is so tonnaly different than the rest.

Plenty of Goons have gone to bat for it so I'll dig it out at some point. I skip 8 because I don't like it and 3 is fine other than Shelley and the 3D effects looking goofy in 2D.

I will always love 3 because Shelley in a way sets up the chick stoners death scene, and the scenery she chews in that scene is just :allears: every time. I love it.

The best scene in that movie imo, after Violets dance. The Crispin one is great but Violets gives it a run for it's money I think.

He knew he was donion rings, so he tried to do enough damage to get Jason's mask off so the others can hit him harder. "Take your best shot" was basically saying "At least give me one of the cool kills", and Jason delivered :patriot: Julius was a real american hero

Part 4 is weird to me because ostensibly the Jarvis's have been living in that house on the lake for quite some time.

How?

Like, Jason is a seriously territorial son of a bitch. As far as he's concerned he *owns* that lake. How did they go years without him noticing them even once?

Well I don’t think Jason has really been out and about until the week or so long rampage that happens in 2, 3, and 4, which starts at Camp Crystal Lake and basically ends with him wandering the Pine Barrens or whatever just kind of looking for people to stab. So I think it’s safe to say that the Jarvis residence is a good bit away from Crystal Lake. Also I am unclear on whether or not Jason was actually alive and running around before that or if he is a zombie ghost man who came back in response to his mother’s justifiable murder.

Actually that's pretty fair if we just assume he didn't go "active" until Part 2, since I forgot Part 4 is within that same time frame.

I also just realized that everything from Part 6 onwards is 100 percent Tommy's fault.

Yeah but to be fair, nobody could've anticipated that stabbing a corpse with a metal pole during a thunderstorm would frankenstein it back to life. Least of all a numbskull like Tommy Jarvis.

On the other hand, Tommy's the kind of guy who'd probably still do something like that even if he knew the risks, just to get closure.

That's what I assumed. He was living in the woods (we see his shack in 2) somehow saw his mother killed, I assume because he was hanging out in the woods and was drawn by the noise.

2/3/4 all take place like...within days/hours of each other and the Jarvis house isn't that close to the camp.

And yeah, Tommy fucks everything up in part 6. Maybe not let the crazy kid near the body of the monster that caused him to snap? Oh Tommy you lovable dipshit :allears: Thom Matthews performance in that movie is a big part of why I love it.

Last night we did a homebrew game type. Jason is not allowed to kill people- instead he cripples them and then they have to do what he says. Namely kill other players or whatever make more zombie slaves

I knew how to win this game. I spawned as a nerdy character, found a shotgun. By the time I found the shotgun, some one had already fixed the two seater car and was going to escape. I stalled them long enough for Jason to arrive and then I murdered another player claiming that I knew how to win the game.

In the chaos and fuckery I stole the car and made it seem like I was going to destroy it, getting Jason to leave me alone. I have a habit of doing whatever the gently caress in the game so this was completely valid.

I then used the car by myself to get away.



The only other person to survive the match? The person I killed, who respawned as Tommy, as I thought they would.

Hooray for a plan coming together!
