I was going to make a joke about MUH CANNON but I remembered there was that Freddy vs Jason vs Ash comic.

I'd be OK with Bruce Campbell as Ash in another video game. I remember one of the Evil Dead games not being completely trash but I don't remember if it was the first or second one.

I keep thinking about buying that game and then I see how much they're charging for the extra killers and nah.

DbD has such boring gameplay.

You run around, fix generators, open doors and get out.

The killer is the only one that gets to have any fun and even then they're all so loving limited in what they can do

they've been whittling away the fun the killer can have too, they're not really designed to kill people really

I have played dbd back when I first came out, and I was excited for it! But after about an hour, I refunded it because I felt as though I saw everything that there was to see. Every now and then they streamer at followill play it and honestly, not much has changed in regards to the game play for me.

I guess its continued popularity really goes to show how important it is to come out first (even though it's development started after F13). That, and licensing. Because the game mechanics sure aren't there.

It definitely mentioned it in the Virtual Cabin, it also mentioned that apparently Julius' actor was boxing Hodder's poo poo for real in Part 8 at Hodder's request, and he was just tanking punches to the gut for the entire scene. That dude's no joke

I'm doing a 1970s-style horror movie and my biggest problem has been finding an actor who can play the killer. It's not insanely physical like what Kane Hodder does, but it's just impossible to find physically imposing actors who are willing to take payment that's not in the thousands.

They can see it before a match though by clicking on names in the lobby. I always check people's levels before we start, because I want to know what an assfucking I'm in for if I'm a Jason in a lobby full of people who know each other and are all level 101+.

Good morning, counselors.

We have received multiple reports that many of you are bringing more pocket knives than could possibly be necessary to camp. In addition to pocket knives, there is an abundance of sharp-edged and blunt instruments that can be used as weaponry.

The following changes will be made to acceptable behavior when we next open the camp:

Pocket knives will be far less available throughout the camp, though special visitors will still be allowed to bring a personal pocket knife.
We have limited access to some pieces of hardware that can be used as weaponry, including an abundance of machetes and wrenches, that have later been found left around the camp. – These items will still be at the camp, but there will be less available.

Special note: Due to the abandonment of expensive medical inventory – Med Sprays - all over the grounds, we have been forced to reduce the amount available.

Please remember to do your part to eliminate the wasting of expensive and necessary camp supplies.

Oh thank god.

Man, I love Gun Media :allears:

As passe as it might be to dunk on Dead by Daylight, at least F13's devs know that their killer is supposed to be terrifying and the counselors are supposed to be in over their heads. Whenever people complain about Jason being underpowered they listen... they listen to counselor-side complaints too but they always seem to be tweaking both sides to ensure that Jason isn't totally toothless like all of DbD's killers.

While I will miss all the pocket knives, I think I got Inside Out Mom on like four separate occasions while he was Jason a few nights ago. We laughed but in reality there probably shouldn't be that many lying around.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I just play random all the time, which somehow translates to always being AJ. It's admittedly nice being aware four or so people are guaranteed to die first and Jason ain't gonna find my rear end until we're a ways in.

I still wish that they'd take a style from DbD and change traps so that Jason can pick up and reuse his traps, but you can do a minigame to destroy them for good based on the survivor's repair skill.

Really at this point traps are only useful in the early game, and Debbie and LaChappa are only useful for super specific parts. It'd be rad if Deb could be a trap hunter instead of just "boy I hope my teammates are smart enough to fix the car whoops I died because they weren't"

I'm fine with dying as long as I get a cool kill, anything but loving Asphyxiate :mad:

My favourite round was locking myself in the bathroom, forgetting he can see the lock from a time zone away. When he started smashing through the door I said "Okay dude listen, I know I'm donezo, but give me any kill but the swirlie, please." Fortunately he was cool and killed me via fireplace instead because I cannot stand the shame of dying in a toilet.

The flipside of playing random, drawing Fatty McFatfat and starting out right next to the phone box. Jason decided he was gonna chase my rear end down for the next three minutes until I ran out of gas

If you know you're in the phone house, quickly make it look unoccupied then HIDE. He doesn't have to tools to see you that early, he doesn't have the time to check either.

I mean if you're silly enough to get into a melee fight with Jason, you pretty much deserve to die. You can run from Jason, you can trick him into doing dumb things like not realizing cars can go backwards and forwards. But fighting him should be a resort of the desperate :colbert:

I just hope it leads to far fewer slasher-only Jasons because those players are loving boring. I don't blame them now with how frequently players get health sprays and pocket knives, but I'd like to see Jasons actually taking their chances with grabbing and executing.

Ah who am I kidding, we'll always have tryhard pussies who won't take a single risk when they're Jason because they need that kill count for some reason.

I will completely slash it up if there are a bunch of people crowding and it's obvious they're just waiting to smack me as soon as I try a grab. Then they'll probably dance
