People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.

Also, related, is a game called Angels Fall First which has crewing capital ships in combat, plus running to the flight deck to hop in fighters to launch out of them, plus boarding enemy space stations and then fighting as a space marine to capture the base. And it's loving INCREDIBLE.

Battlefront 2 (the original, didn't pay much attention to the new one's space stuff) had that, too. Good times.

Jesus, kid, you're almost a detective. All you need now is a gun, a gut, and three ex-wives.
Looks like I was in the clear, only listings for me were my actual comments in favor. There was another guy with a similar name that really doesn't like the idea though. I don't even think he's a bot either, just some dude in rural North Carolina that really doesn't like net neutrality.

.... and probably his spine. That video was filmed in 2012 and he found out earlier this year that his constant back problems and associated symptoms (headaches, neck aches, exhaustion, motion sickness & vomiting) were because his cerebrospinal fluid had been leaking because he hosed up his back sometime in 2012.


Edit: he almost obtained youtube celebrity status back in the day, one of his old videos has 1.3 million views (a 28 second video where he cracks himself in the nuts with a playground ride, the absolute pinnacle of his youtube career) and he had a handful of videos between 4 to 6 years ago that got about 500,000 views each. He's still vlogging like crazy but the best numbers he's pulled for one of his videos in the last 12 months was only 4,600 views. He hosed up his health really badly for these lovely youtube videos and no one gives a gently caress any more.

Regarding those Player Unknown videos:

A few people are immediately yelling about reporting people. I assume nothing actually happens even if they do? There's not actually any rule against camping, right? What the Hell - are you supposed to just constantly be on the move, grabbing guns and hoping to win quick draw contests?

I mean, it's definitely just people acting like loving babies, right?

Edit - watched a couple more. Holy crap it makes me want to buy it solely to camp. Dear God.

From what I can tell if you win the gamble about where the circle is going to be and can take position, camping is the intended way to play.

I mean, poo poo, there was one guy who made it to the last 4 alive by apparently just camping in an attic inside the circle. His first kill was one of 5 people left, who got made knowing that it was that guy's first kill of the game. Camping is 100% an intended playstyle of the game.

not against the rules and certainly not worth whining and getting mad about.

after having put a few hundred hours into the game i'd say that you're not going to necessarily have a ton of success if you focus on camping

i think most of the really good players do not stay put in one or two locations for a whole game

it's not intended playstyle but you can make it work for you

hiding in the bushes like that guy did can work really well, but not enough of the time to consider it a viable, repeatable strategy

I've been top three once and it was sheer luck. Good gear right where I dropped, and it ended up being dead center of the final circle.

These high-G injections have some serious side effects after pulling so many jumps.

There's a guy who comments on the MST3K blog I read that none of the vocal regular commenters can stand. Yet despite the regulars dunking on him and his different opinions (and upvoting each other's dunks, naturally) he's still there and people still read and reply to him. Is it schadenfreude to enjoy seeing this guy post and driving all the blog regulars crazy?

It's been pretty common practice for a while now for sore losers to immediately report anyone that beats them. You see it all the time in any game (especially DOTA/LoL, Overwatch, and now PUBG). It's usually just a sort of "gently caress you, I hope you get banned" sort of saltiness. It's so commonplace that basically every developer has systems in place to account for it so it doesn't actually result in bans.
