Watch that scene in Fight Club again where the guy's that own the building where they meet for fight club show up. That shit is really funny. The way Brad Pitt is laughing, and the smartass comments he makes, it's a lesson in life. If you're ever getting the shit beat out of you, just start laughing like a psycho, and your problems go away.

You know what's cool? When you go to get your oil changed at Wal-Mart, and they tell you they can't because of the "massive" leak. They have to use the word "massive", which makes you realize how great the rest of your day is gong to be. Then you go to Goodyear to get your shit looked at, and they tell you they can get to your car in about 2 hours, and then 5 hours later, which is 2 hours after they close, you're still waiting for them to finish your god damn car.

What a waste of a Saturday.

So, we brought on some beta testers from the forums, which was cool. Well, I thought it was going to be cool until I realized that one of them was arguing with me about FF shit, and he hadn't even played it. He was trying to justify himself, against me, and he hadn't even played FF. If he actually had a good point, and was arguing with informed information, that'd be one thing, but the stupid twat hadn't even played FF and he was trying to defend his position. Smart. People need to realize when their baby is going to grow up to be a failure, and just strangle it in the crib, but this guy's parents failed.

Aside from that, I think it's going to be awesome. This one guy posted some pictures he took with his ass destroying computer, and holy shitballs the pictures look good. The pictures he took look better than any shit ever by any person ever involved with klanope. I just want him to take pictures all the time cause the shit looks so god damn good on his shit.

The point is, playing with these new queers reminds me of the nights of finding bugs with Patty and Paul2, or waiting for the server to crash every 3 minutes when we had more than a handful of us trying to play. This was also back when our "default" map was some fucking abortion of a test/dev map.

There were lots of really cool bugs, but I think the coolest bug ever was how the velocity of another player would be transferred to you if you stood on their head.

e.g. Player A gets on Player B's head, if Player B moves, that movement was given to Player A. Player A would be forced in that direction, and it was really god damn retarded. Player A could get on Player B's head, and as long as Player B didn't move, Player A was fine. It was just when Player B moved, that Player B's movement would be transferred to Player A, too.

You could fix it by standing on someone else's head, and then getting off their head without that other player moving.

It was... uhh, it was a normal bug.

So yeah, oil leaks are fucking great.

Oh yeah, Gavin reminded me that this bug persisted through f*cking everything. Once you got this movement f*cking forced upon you, you couldn't stop it by...

  • Killing yourself
  • Changing teams
  • Changing class
  • Reconnecting to the server
  • F*cking anything


Unless you wanted to restart FF, the only way to f*cking end the suffering was to stand on someone's head, and then get off of their head without that person moving. This bug... this bug f*cking was around for a while, too. It was the most unnormal shit ever to exist anywhere.
