what a humorous anecdote.

Blasmeister posted:

I wonder if this is also true for Scary Movie. Was the wassup mask a creation of the movie and thus DBD’s ghostface is more officially associated with the Scream parody than the original, or did they themselves also run the direct mask licensing gambit to save money so the costume company owns that mask too?

According to this website, Fun World does indeed own the Wassup masks.

In celebration of Chucky we watched the first Child's Play and not for nothing but Andy's actor is really good for being like six or so. One scene he looks so scared and miserable one might think Don Mancini told him there was no Santa Clause right before the director yelled "Action!"

Yeah he's really good in Child's Play 1 and 2.

Adult Andy in the Chucky series......well he didn't really keep up on his acting lessons but it's still cool that they kept him.

DbD Thread: I'm all for violence against children

... but this is probably an issue they ran into with Victor and game ratings, especially per country. They're already M but being tipped to AO(unlikely) is a kiss of death, but they also have to contend with stricter standards from other countries too. This also makes me realize that their incredibly goofy insistence that Victor is a little man was necessary, funny as it was.

I'm just reminded of things like how Contra is about robots shooting evil robots in Europe, or how Fallout 2 has invisible kids in some versions so you can never interact with and hurt them.

Adult Andy would be a good survivor.

I'm so loving hyped for Chucky, it's something I never thought I'd see and yet here we are.

And they handled him perfectly. Especially the vocal lines, he never shuts up and there's just so many unique lines. I watched some of the Otz stream and I was amazed at just how much dialogue Chucky has, and we probably haven't even heard all of it yet. Also his movement, attack speed, everything is spot on.

So how long until they nerf all his best perks and add-ons?

I don't thinkany of the perks are OP enough that they'll get nerfed. The blind one could be fun but it's a Hex which instantly means it's off the table for me.

I could see Friends 'Til The End getting nerfed if it snowballs too hard, but Hex: Two Can Play and Batteries Included are just counter perks for things annoying survivor squads do. They don't do enough in normal play to do much, they're just something you slap on if you're feeling salty. You know, like Lightborn.

Eh, the duration of Exposed isn't long enough for it to really be a threat. Pre-nerf Nurse it would be devastating but now it's just another BBQ/Floods of Rage/Alien Instinct option.

Could have some potential synergy with the new Furtive Chase but yeah, I don't think it's an A tier perk.

Edit - I should say against knowlegable survivors - especially SWF, they'll quickly realize you have the perk going and will stay away from hooks.

Chucky's hex is good(if you want revenge) imo because it spawns mid match instead of being something a survivor can find within the first ten seconds by blind chance. Same reason I like pentimento and Pinhead's similar hexes.

Yeah no, it'll be terrible on Scratched Mirror Myers. He's slow, so won't be able to easily get to them and the aura reading is pointless with him.

In my opinion, of course.

He also has some fun interactions with Nick Cage. Seems like a really fun killer to play, so I too am fearing the worst and expecting them to ram him into the ground before release. I don't think they should: he's not OP by any means.

But what they seriously should do is fix some of the annoying little issues. His power feels clunky to use around windows and pallets, and aiming the final lunge also feels a bit counter intuitive. And the cooldown for the power is a bit long without the addons, so it feels like he might be one of those killers where certain addons are basically mandatory.

Not the end of the world though.

The way I see it you can supplement the free aura reading with your stalk, and the lack of heartbeat will make it so they don't know where you're coming from, making it easy to sneak up or head off the new obsession. The speed debuff isn't as big an issue if there's no chase :v:

It's map specific, but so is everything about scratched mirror. I hate the swamp a lot

Yeah I mean, I see the potential use but there's just so many other good options.

But that's what's cool about this game, there's tons of perks and hundreds of perk combinations and there's no meta perks that everyone uses and ahahahahahah can't keep a straight face

Chucky definitely raised the bar for all future killers. I’m not saying they all need to be chatterboxes with nearly 9 minutes of recorded dialogue, and some killers are just more effective as creepy silent murderers,but stuff like Singularity and Trickster definitely adds more personality to these characters.

I wouldn’t mind it for survivors either, although survivor mains probably don’t want their characters being more audible.

Also get Robert Englund into the recording studio :argh:

I mean, he doesn't look that off from Jackie Earle Haley's Freddy which he's based on. We won't get Englund because the rights moved around from what I understand, so it's 2009 NOES or bust.

Now...why Quentin doesn't look like Kyle Gallner in the least, that's stupid.

Mind if I ask a TCM question? I didn't see a thread for it. Any newbie Cook or Johnny advice not explained in the tutorials? I've played five games and the last one I was able to pick out survivors quite a few times, but in the others I wasn't in range a whole lot. I know I'll get better with map knowledge, just wondering if there was something I could be doing better.

Played Leatherface twice, the second time I got my first (and only) kill :shobon:

It doesn't have the same survivor vibe as ft13 but I'm enjoying starting out!

Johnny advice: Don't. my personal opinion everyone who plays johnny is a loving bot.

Cook, the key is grinding out his ability level 3 so that when you highlight people with your ability it highlights them for everyone. The Otz video (he plays with Hens and someone else) his Cook stuff is perfect. I play Leatherface and Cook mainly but also side with Hitchhiker. Sissy and Johnny just suck imo.

Any other questions by all means, I'm fairly versed in their play. (LF, Cook, HH only)
