The penultimate entry in this series is now available for public consumption. I’m afraid this one is extremely absurd. Brace yourself.
This series ends on Friday.
The Best of 2019
I called 2019 "The Year of corporate Dystopia". Here is a list of the games I thought were interesting or worth talking about that year.
D&D Campaign
WAY back in 2005, I wrote about a D&D campaign I was running. The campaign is still there, in the bottom-most strata of the archives.
Bad and Wrong Music Lessons
A music lesson for people who know nothing about music, from someone who barely knows anything about music.
Mass Effect Retrospective
A novel-sized analysis of the Mass Effect series that explains where it all went wrong. Spoiler: It was long before the ending.
Fixing Match 3
For one of the most popular casual games in existence, Match 3 is actually really broken. Until one developer fixed it.
I think everyone here will agree that the gun gun is the greatest weapon ever.
I don´t. It´s too slow. 100 weapons per minute? Pfft!
However, I admit that burying someone under a mountain of weapons would be hilarious.
Man has a point. Isn’t the Heavy’s normal weapon supposed to do a hundred times that?
This should be included in the Turing test.
Because anyone who doesn’t think the Gun Gun is the greatest weapon ever is clearly a cold, soulless robot.
Even cold, soulless robots think the gun gun is cool.
I’ve always suspected that I’d fail a Turing Test someday…
I’m pretty sure this sort of weapon can be constructed in Garry’s Mod. I demand that this strip be made into a video!
And of course, by “demand” I mean “it would be really cool if someone did this” :-P
I imagine it being possible in FO3.
Alter the Rock-It Launcher to have a higher attack rate, and make Junk items (=RIL ammo) with gun skins. It would still look like a glorified shredder, but it will fire guns :D
Perhaps it’s possible to edit the RIL itself to accept any item, as well. Ever wanted to shoot stimpacks? A re-usable mini nuke (won’t explode)? Power Armor?
*goes off to toy around with the GECK*
EDIT: Someone on the Nexus released a mod that allows the Rock-It Launcher to shoot pretty much anything. http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5073
Out of idle curiosity, can the Gun Gun fire an instance of itself?
I’d think that for that, you’d need a Gun Gun Gun.
Because it can can can!
How cool would it be if all the guns it spewed out were themselves also firing? I would so buy the gun gun.
I hope you realize that it could be, technically, possible to hit yourself with your own ammo.
Now that´s a completely different tier of awesome.
This needs to happen. Probably can’t be done simply in FO3, due to the skill-based nature of attacks, but a gun, that fires guns, that are themselves shooting, would be concentrated awesome.
Oh no! _This_ edition of a webcomic about a late-night talk show hosted by a fictional character from a video game is extremely absurd! Whatever will we do?!?
(*snicker* Nother good one Shamus!)
Extremely absurd, but also hilarious. I’m really enjoying this series, and I am excited to see how it ends.
Second. This is an exceptionally good vintage of Stolen Pixels.
The last two panels made me giggle insanely. Congratulations! ;)
This is the second time I laughed about a weapon. The other was when I saw the BFG9000 for the first time.
I’d love to see that as an unlock. :)
(Gun Gun: Slows the heavy, heavy can’t move while firing, throws a lot of discarded weapons on the ground that others can pick up for ammo.)
They should totally release it during the engineer update. Imagine a heavy standing near a dispenser and showering his 9 engineer teammates with metal.
Joining the pile: the Gun gun is teh awesome. I continue to stand in amazement at your humor abilities.
Am I the only one reminded of the Poodle Gun from the Tick vs Tick episode? Bueller?
