Expect people to oggle over your girlfriend depending on what she dressed up like I guess.

I think the best part about TTT was sticking around with the same group for a couple matches because people who are good at the game make use of all the game's tricks when they end up as the traitor, it keeps things fresh. I was once chasing a guy who I saw with the traitor knife out and he went around a corner. I knew he was waiting right there because I'm not that dumb, but I had forgotten that you can also throw the knife with right click. Just as I started to back off he tossed it, rebounded it off the wall, and hit me square in the head. :allears:

That sounds more like GMod Murder than TTT.

guess you missed the hubbub about the R&C reboot, unlike the movie it's pretty :krad:

anyway there's plenty of whatever you like on PS4, even the dreaded JRPG genre has a few selections now. Maybe ask for a more specific category if you want suggestions?

Its incredibly hard to pull off but there is nothing more satisfying than managing to somehow headshot someone while everyone is crowded together and somehow getting away with it as everything erupts into violence like the light house scene from Battle Royale.

Also just being a mad bomber with C4 is awesome.

It was The Hidden. :goonsay: only because I played the poo poo out of it. Being the Hidden was such a drat rush whenever you were able to take out the other team even though they tried to watch each other's backs.

Edit: It seems there was a "The Hunted" mod for HL2. But it's 2 equal teams instead of asymmetrical vs.

http://www.moddb.com/mods/thehunted

Yeah I mixed the two up. Hidden was indeed the one I was thinking of. The Hunted is also something I played, which is a really cool game mode and has kinda that same "you are a normal person and have to hide away from the bad guys" thing too though, which was lots of fun, especially since the bad guys appeared to be good guys until they transformed, so there was that whole secret assassin thing.

There's also the_hunted TFC map / gamemode :v: Too many videogames.

expect: a merch room of some sort with either a big crowd or huge line or nothing you want, a bunch of random rear end "panels" on the schedule that can be anything from interviewing celebrities to some ordinary schlub just showing a bunch of videos, and a rave at night where many will suffer from injury, dehydration and possibly throw in some drugs depending on how carefully they look. Also possibly one or more bored people signing poo poo

if any of those things sound good to you then good luck!

I legitimately have a lot of fun on the purge rp servers. Its based off of the movie, the purge. Except you know, there are a bunch of people running around as animes, sharks, or gordon freemans and you are hiding in some dark corner hoping the furry with the AK doesn't find you.

Like its just inherently funny.

You're going to be bored out of your mind, most likely. There really isn't all that much to actually do aside from buy crap, take pictures of cosplayers, and attend panels so if you're not super into those you're SOL.

The manger babies don't have feelings. You said it yourself.
Disclaimer: my convention experience is limited to SDCC and some of the other big cons, it's probably different at a smaller show.

Wear comfortable shoes, bring a backpack and stick some water bottles in it. Your GF is going to get stopped for photos a lot if she's cosplaying.

If you bring a 3DS you will get LOADED with streetpass tags that you'll likely fill up the 10 slots for streetpass tags in a few minutes, so if you really want to get a shitload of Puzzle Swap pieces or make some headway in Find Mii, cons are good for that.

The dealer room will have a decent variety of stuff, usually about the same price that you can find online but without shipping/sales tax. If you wait till Saturday or Sunday, you can sometimes find better deals as dealers don't want to ship all this crap back home with them. Unfortunately, the last day is also when everybody ELSE decides to go to the dealer room to get a good deal so it can be a mite crowded.

Don't eat inside the convention center because the food there is overpriced, there's usually food trucks outside with a decent variety at the cons I've been to, and convention centers usually have restaurants around them. With that said, look on yelp for bars around you to numb yourself to the fact that you're surrounded by a bunch of 19 year olds.

Forgot about the 3DSes, I have to remember to bring mine to one of the cons around the corner some day. And don't eat inside the convention center not only to save money but to not get sick. If you don't treat every surface like Patient Zero you're asking for a bad time either at the convention or over the next week.

Also take a risk on a dumb sounding panel that nobody wants to go to, sometimes they're funny and you can usually sneak out anyway

I've been waiting all my life for a director to make a fully first-person film (enter the void came close) so I can't fault Hardcore Henry for trying what it did, and parts of it were really incredible. The stunt work was fantastic, and people really looked like they were getting beat up and stabbed and shot.

However unfortunately the technical side of it just wasn't up to par, which made the whole thing way less enjoyable than I was hoping. Not only did the camera shake way too much when they should have tried to keep it more stable (even possibly should have used post-production image stabilization!) but the biggest problem was the focus, there's just no easy way to handle the focus in that kind of situation, so its constantly going in and out of being blurry and that kinda ruined the whole thing. :smith:

Still glad they tried though, and looking forward to camera technology improving so somebody else can give it another shot. Maybe not as an action movie but as a drama or something.
