It’s a forum game, it has a proper name I’m sure, I nicked the idea from another forum I’m on. Basically, there would be 8 heats, 1 heat for each Hitman game. There would be a list of every mission from that game, each starting with, say, 20 points. Once a day, every user who wants to play can add 1 point to their favourite missions, and remove 2 points from their least favourite mission. So, for example, say we’re doing Hitman (2016). The starting list would look like this:
Freeform Training [20]
The Final Test [20]
The Showstopper [20]
Holiday Hoarders [20]
World of Tomorrow [20]
The Icon [20]
Landslide [20]
The Author [20]
A Gilded Cage [20]
A House Built on Sand [20]
Club 27 [20]
The Source [20]
Freedom Fighters [20]
The Vector [20]
Situs Inversus [20]
Patient Zero [20]
So say my favourite mission is World of Tomorrow, and least favourite mission is Club 27, I would copy paste the list, then add 1 for World of Tomorrow, minus 2 for Club 27, and put the number changes in bold. We play each day, missions hitting 0 points being eliminated. We would hit a set number, then move on to semi-finals and finals, where all the different game missions face off against each other.
Freeform Training [20]
The Final Test [20]
The Showstopper [20]
Holiday Hoarders [20]
World of Tomorrow [21] +1
The Icon [20]
Landslide [20]
The Author [20]
A Gilded Cage [20]
A House Built on Sand [20]
Club 27 [18] -2
The Source [20]
Freedom Fighters [20]
The Vector [20]
Situs Inversus [20]
Patient Zero [20]
Yeah, I think the time for it might have come… Last one was right after H3 released I think. It’s a shame (and disappointment) that the only addition to the roster we’ve had since then was Shadows in the Water. Was hoping for a bit more before we have another one of these (unless IO have some really big surprise reveal for Y5 up their sleeve)
Imagine how much fun it will be now that we have @Heisenberg and company? I do miss arguing pointlessly, I miss Team Rangan and I miss backing the dark horse at every conceivable poll.
@Heisenberg I think AK98 is saying is that you always bring an interesting perspective to whatever the conversation is about. I’m curious to see what Hitman missions are your favourite and least favourite.
While trying to cut a small piece of plastic, the exacto-knife I was using slipped and I cut my middle finger… It was a small cut, not very deep at all, and I had been using the knife for quite a while so it wasn’t that sharp. I did pinch the spot with my thumb, then rolled it back, still keeping pressure on it… I couldn’t even see a red line and started wondering if I just scratched myself with the blade… Then I started to see a red line appear. It seemed weird feeling it but not seeing it until several seconds later.
So I had a bottle of super glue gel in my small project/toolbox, twisted off the cap and squeezed some out, dabbing in along the cut. That was 8 or 9 hours ago and it’s still holding together.
While I was holding the piece of plastic I was thinking both that “It’s gunna slip!” and “I’ll be careful.” Well, I wasn’t so careful. I’ll definitely try this again if I ever have such a slip-up.
Yeah, I know! These are the arguments she always makes! “You can always add more layers, but you can’t take more off when it’s too hot.” But I still haaaaaate it. Man, I hate the cold. I’ve lived in cold places most of my life, but goddamnit I’m Mediterranean, I don’t care, I’d much rather be too hot than too cold. I don’t care if I’m sweaty and sticky and stinky and slow — it’s better than being too cold! Fuck the cold! We hates it! Maybe I just haven’t suffered through months of intense heat like I have of cold, but man…. Fuck the cold.
I chose too hot because of all the other troubles that are associated with “too cold” (weather). Let’s take the God forsaken Polar Vortex, with negative temps like -15 F, to -40 F. The ‘F’ stands for Fu**ing Cold!!! Besides having to heat your residence… If you don’t have anything to do then just stay in bed with layers of covers on, maybe even extra layers of clothes. Then probably the biggest thing to worry about, even if you have your faucets dripping - the water can still freeze… Then you run the possibility of any number of pipes bursting… splitting. And you won’t know until said pipes thaw and you can hear the water blasting inside the walls or underneath the house… Either that or your water pump/well burns out from pumping constantly if there’s a leak that you don’t know about. A loss of water pressure will be the 1st sign (assuming you’re getting any water from whichever faucet). The best case scenario is the breaker tripping before the pump/well burns out. Then you’ll need to hire a plumber to fix whichever pipes broke and another guy that works on (water) wells.
If it’s too hot I do at least have air conditioning, or can dip into a pool or creek, or just get the hose and do whatever.
Yeah. I had something similar happen at my late father’s house 2 years ago, which I still have yet to move in to. But there’s a lot of work the house needs done (anyway). I did fix at least one broken pipe inside the wall of a tub/shower, and hired a guy that works on wells. I suspect there’s at least another pipe somewhere that needs to be fixed underneath the house… Because when I watch the pressure gauge when the water line going to the house is turned on it goes up to around 40 psi, then falls about 10 psi every several seconds.
I don’t know if I’m a tad claustrophobic, but I HATE going underneath that house. It gets down to about 12 inches in some parts.
