Counter-Strike Online!!!!1!!
« on: July 30, 2007, 10:54:21 AM »
Did YOU ever want to play Counter-Strike over the internets? Now you can!

It's just been announced.

Quote

We will be devoting our expertise in online game development and service know-how for Asian territories to Counter-Strike Online. Already a global phenomenon, we are confident we can grow the success of Counter-Strike with this new product by tailoring the gameplay for the millions of gamers in Asia, one of the gaming industries fastest growing territories.


tailoring the gameplay for the millions of gamers in Asia? I await a framegrab from Bill with an interpretation of that. In the meantime, someone on another forum created this bit of concept art:



Chances are it will be just a localization of the GUI, but rational thinking is not the point of the Funhouse

I think he must have some huge archive of all those framegrabs. We tried to beat him and see if we could stump him here, but he had a reply for everything.. You didn't seem to be active at that time.

And by the way, how the bloody, bloody, bloody hell did you manage to get 12 posts per day? That's insane!

My goal is to have S-U-P-E-R give me the title "Silent Protagonist" but I don't think he ever will.

Also Bill I give you props for scouring the imageboards and providing us with never ending entertainment . . . also is it a bad thing that I would so want to play a game like the art you posted? lol.

Who said that they are human, as far as I know they could be aliens from another planet that are 200 years old and still look good enough for a bangin'.

Wait, what?

*Does research*

Creeeepy...

Edit: Allow me to rephrase that:

That is perhaps one of the oddest thinks I've ever seen, read and heard. All this time I thought that character was a chick. Then again, I've never played Guilty Gear (I prefer Mortal Kombat *Dons flame-retardant suit) or read into it. But I have to say that is perhaps the creepiest thing I've ever seen in a video game.

I'm trying to figure out how you didn't come to know this after all the time you've posted here...

As for Bridget, his story is actually pretty tame...One of a pair of boy twins is raised as a girl so he wouldn't be killed, and now he's left on a journey to become more manly...Of course, after being raised as a girl for all your life, it's going to take a bit to adjust... =)

Not so much the girl-is-a-boy thing, but the plots in general. Just because they seem really, y'know, abstract.

Ah . . . well Naruto isn't really abstract. It's quite straight forward actually though it does have a lot of great plot twists and such.

It's long though so it's easy to get lost in it if you don't start from the beginning.

Sir_Stabbalot slammed the bolt on the AWP back and then forward again. The beast's .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge clicked into position. That round could go through a man's head and leave an exit wound the size of a dinner plate.

It didn't matter that his internet was lagging because of the torrents he was downloading (Simpsons Season 9 FTW), or that he had forgotten to buy Kevlar (not that it helps him much), or that he was a crappy shot. For that moment, for that moment he felt a rush. For that moment, he felt like a lord of war, a young god striding the battlefield with his mighty weapon of death.

He stopped hopping and brought the weapon to his shoulder. As he took aim, he roared his battle cry.

Sir_Stabbalot heard the footsteps too late. The next thing he felt was the knife plunge into his back. The pain followed quickly. He fell to his knees, the now useless AWP clanging to the ground, cartridge still in the chamber.

He remained there for a moment. Was this it? Was it all going to end? He had been so close... Yet so far. He had failed his misson. Stabby fell to the ground in a slump. With a groan, he let out his last words.

"OMG ***!"
