If memory serves he claimed to have been hired as security for it. He ended up getting in a firefight and basically had to tell the police they had to take his gun. According to him he had to browbeat the Brazil police into taking it seriously and accept his "shooting involved weapon" into evidence. I remember I already thought he might be full of poo poo because I tried to look up if there way any report of a crime that matched his description.

Can someone help me with this one. I am pretty sure he made this claim IN a thread. It's possible I have which years Olympics it was wrong but I really thought it was Rio.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing a bunch of grown rear end adults he tried to hijack a plane after 9/11 and was still a free man.

come to think of it did he think hijacking a plane wouldn't be a federal crime, black ops LPer at the helm or not. did he think they excuse him from doing it if he's military or if it's a family emergency. now im hung up on this, I dont care if it's bullshit

they talked him down so its fine, no need to involve law enforcement. they are famously chill about airplane hijackings.

I think one of the things that was going with his character was that he built these broad tragic flaws into it. I think the plane thing was him trying to sell his persona's inability to deal with problems he could not solve through violence.

It's pretty obvious this pathologic liar just said things for attention and didn't think much about the broader implications of his outrageous claims.

he was actually hijacking the plane via getting himself captured in order to kidnap a scientist that had recently published a paper about weaponized fusion reactions. In mid-air they attached the plane to a bigger plane, blew of the nose of the hijacked plane, then attached an IV to the scientist, pumped blood out of him and into a corpse to make it look like the corpse was the scientist killed in a plane crash.

Ironically, he would go on to heroically stop himself from blowing up gotham with a neutron bomb made by the scientist that was kidnapped form the plane crash. He did this with a lot of money, which is why donating to patreon is so important.

John Cleese had a story for a Fawlty Towers movie that involved Basil Fawlty thwarting a hijacking only to get arrested for trying to force the plane to continue to its original destination.

I mean yes that is why he did it but he definitely was interested in building a tragic angle to it all. As many of his stories were him being a gently caress up drunk as a badass mercenary. He (or his character) identified really strongly with Caim from Drakengard and I do think a lot of the more maudlin and tragic elements of his stories were him trying to "tone match" that story for whatever reason.

I can't believe that this is what got me to check the forums again after like a decade. Incredibly funny poo poo, this is like finding out some guy at a high school reunion pulled a bunch of insane poo poo and looks like a crackhead now.

I think that's a decent analogy. I hadn't thought about this person in a long time, but I still recognized his name as someone who made all those LPs around 2010 or so. I'm not going to retroactively pretend I was too cool for them, I thought they were entertaining at the time (I probably shouldn't try re-reading them now).

When someone posted in here that he had terminal cancer, I just assumed he was a regular nerd guy who had faded back into obscurity after screenshot LPs went out of style. Finding out that he's actually been cultivating this badass mercenary persona on his own personal Discord (which he has and is popular for some reason) all this time is wild. Some people's brains just get scrambled by even minor Internet fame

The thing I find strangest about all this is that I'm used to this kind of thing comin alongside the reveal that he was embezzling money or dating a 15 year old or something, not just... apparently telling increasingly implausible lies nobody actually cared enough to question while actually doing LPs. If all he wanted was internet fame he already had it.

The one thing I'll say is that at least it's a form of narcissism that doesn't seem to involve making insane accusations about other people (particularly other 'content creators'), which is what you often see within these insular Internet communities. It was evidently more about one-upping and making everything about him, and somehow there were plenty of gullible people willing to believe it.

I guess it must have been a twitter thing too? I remember it pretty clearly, though like I said I am not sure of when it was.

I am pretty interested to find it though. If for no other reason then to figure out when this all occurred. I am kind of shocked to think that I may have been watching this dude thinking he was lying since 2016.
