Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I expect Shelly to be played as Shelly as possible. "Guys, I'm running around in circles by the other councilors making lots of noise because it's hilarious! Why won't Tiffany sleep with me? That bitch!"

You could park the car blocking the door. People would hide inside and a driver would park so when they get out they are inside the shack. There was nothing Jason could do at that point to get to the counselors.

Apparently there's SOME kind of story going on with the counselors because Gun Media's videos keep showing specific pairings.

Chubs is pining after Tiffany, Adam and Goth Girl are a thing, Jenny is after Chad while Kenny watches jealous as gently caress, and the others just kind of exist without any pairing yet.

Fox is trying to sabotage the campers after a run in with Shelly, the old guy has just eaten a bunch of raw weed so he's not having a great day either way.

Mitch either is out there because one of them called him so they could buy weed, or Mitch is actually a kindly old hippie who wants to give some brownies from his organic bakery to those nice kids down at the camp but that drat Jason is just ruining every.

I thought Adam would be the counselor I would use most when I first got the game. Well he's ended up being among the counselors I've used the least.

I guess it shows how my priorities have changed since when I first started playing. I use Tiffany, Vanessa, Kenny and sometimes Jenny (although I think she pretty bad).

I guess you could just park it in front of the shack, get out and wait out the whole round and Jason wouldn't be able to get inside.

Vanessa usually, Buggzy if I just want to beat up on Jason. I've been considering Fox since she has alright speed and stamina, and also repair above 5, but I haven't gotten a chance to play in forever.

I really want to like Mitch but he's just too slow. If they had given him one or two more points in his speed stat I would use him a lot more. I play Chad about 80% of the time now and I'm probably better at repairing things with his 2 than a 6 or 7 repair. The meter starts to move too fast with the higher repair stats and unless I'm Tommy or (god forbid) LaChappa and only have to make 2 easy presses, the last press is just me guessing what's going to pop up.

e: It might be a little easier now that I'm not playing on a TV and have a nice monitor with really low input lag, but I've only played a few rounds since getting it.

I still only random on counselor. With Jason, I pick one of the Jasons who doesn't suck because being Jason is a rare treat and I don't want that experience to get ruined with a loving Part 7, 9 or Generic 3.

My problem with random is the "I've had enough of this dude" instinct I mentioned before. You do NOT want to find yourself hitting Jason in the back of the head with a pipe as AJ.

Part 4 is really good for early round but his awful shift, slow water speed, and only having 3 traps combine to make him one of the worst late round Jasons in the game. If they changed just one of his weaknesses he'd probably be the best.

Being able to chop down doors with 3 strikes early give you the ability to really open up all the cabins though.

The lack of traps is the only thing that is really a pain for me.

His shift being really bad can be a pretty big hindrance on most of the maps, but actually works very well on the Jarvis map for the most part. Trying to shift through one of the two main houses with someone who has fast or even normal shift is a nightmare.

Ghostpilot

"As a rule, I never touch anything more sophisticated and delicate than myself."
If your Jason has a poor shift (part 2, 4 and 7), you'll want to prioritize the car over something like the phone. Once the car gets going, you going to blow most of your resources trying to stop it and - chances are - even then it's still going to fail.

Part 2 will have an easier time with this after tomorrow's patch as you will then be able to trap the driver-side door and not have it be bypassed by the getting-in animation.

I don't know if people have gotten better at driving or what, but man I can't pin down the cars anymore once they get moving. The best I can do is hope I can spook the driver into not stopping for anyone as they drive backwards through the woods dodging trees :shepface: Meanwhile any time I'm a counselor, the driver immediately drives full force into a lamppost, and suddenly I'm getting hauled out of the window before I even notice Big J's theme

I don't see why it wouldn't go towards your achievements, although I know they said they would be adding challenges to single player which sounds like a fun idea.

That would certainly make smaller lobbies less of an issue if you're stuck waiting with only four people.

Although I'm looking forward to Paranoia when that finally drops as a match option because I'm excited as hell to see how that madness plays out.
