Now I expect the tsunamis to start showing up in droves solely to try and kill Ray.

To be fair if the tsunami was caused by an underwater earthquake you do actually typically get secondary tsunamis to correlate with aftershocks or secondary collapses.

However those tsunamis are typically much smaller and weaker than the primary one so yeah this is absurd. Literally the only thing they got right is that tsunamis are caused by earthquakes and you typically get more than one. Everything else is wrong.

Just caught up with this thread. I noticed something unusual said during part 4 partway through fighting more faceless mooks where one calls out "Cover me!" and his squadmate replies "Copy that. I'll take cover."

Uhh, I don't think it works that way.

Are you questioning the tactical acumen of the special forces veterans in SURGE? These guys have been fighting wars since before you were born, cupcake! I think they might know a little more about combat maneuvering than you do, buddy!

It was apparently called the Monster 'BFC'....why would anyone ever need this?

When I was in the Navy I knew an ordinanceman who would drink one of those when he got to work and then another pint can of Monster at lunch. How his heart didn't explode, I will never know. That's a seriously dangerous amount of caffeine/ chemicals/ sugar.

If this is the Pacific Ocean up in the Washington and Oregon coast, then yes, the water is very, very cold.

But it isn't, so it's wherever WhyWouldYouEverLiveHere, USA is. Where all potential disasters are going to happen, possibly all at once.

Still waiting for that coastal hurricane followed by a midwestern tornado, and possibly meteorites striking the city. Simultaneously. :allears:

Also, that man is the worst goddamn pilot, I mean really. JUST FLY UP.

I'm glad you made this gif to show off Gregory's favorite and prized weapon that Ray is able to unlock after shooting 10 grenades out of the air during the boss fight (which I think I mentioned):


Yeah.....that doesn't look like what he was using at all. At least it must do something cool, what with a name like 'Deep Impact'. I mean, what do you guys think it does?

Yup, it's a completely different model, the name means no sense, it's annoying to unlock, and in the end it's not that good of a gun. Thankfully the other boss weapons are marginally better than this one....marginally.

I always love fanart and I always appreciate when I get it. So please keep doing it if anyone feels like it.

Also the next update will probably be Wednesday or maybe sooner depending on how the mood strikes me. I know you all want to know what happens to Ray after he is creamed by a cable car and drowned.

It's just another relaxing day in the park; hanging out with the mayor and some lovely people that we saved from imminent danger. Now they just have to worry about the forthcoming danger....but you'll have to watch the episode to find out where that's coming from. And no, it's not coming from Ray shooting them.

(also I did gently caress up a bit and this episode won't be coming in the normal blistering HD quality; hopefully that won't be an issue)

For once they at least acknowledge that other people might want crackers. This was a good section, even if Ray never cleaned off Anna's teddy bear.

I couldn't tell if you were timing your questions about the nuclear warhead, since the video answered it almost right in synch.

Free tip for the thread: Don't do a search on 'Caterpillar Man' (I was hoping for an alternate version of "Watermelon Man".)

Nah, that dog is clearly a hero like Ray is clearly a hero. Also I was trying to get Panzer to have the dog be a corgi like her fat loaf of a dog but apparently her dog is never that helpful (unless helping involves farting or bringing over horribly mangled rawhides).

I sadly had a lot of trouble thinking of a good title for the thread and I went the safest route I could think of. Homosexual innuendo and disasters.
