Video Games Archive / Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Does anypony play CS:GO? I personally think it's the best CS game to date, it combines what was good in 1.6 and Source and tossed in sweet new graphics and a few new weapons. So far I have 27 hours on the game but I stopped playing because it's a little boring without someone to play with...

Video Games Archive / Slenderman: The Game

2012 Jul 06, 08:57:35

This has to be the most terrifying game I have ever played since Amnesia, at first I thought it was going to be a crap game some dude from 4chan tossed together, but it turned out to be much worse... I recorded myself playing the game for the first time, having not seen any gameplay whatsoever prior to playing, although I'm not going to post it here because of the obscene language. You can go to my youtube account, the link is in my signature. Feel free to respond to this thread with your thoughts, perhaps a playthrough video with your reactions.

Video Games Archive / Has anyone played Max Payne 3 yet? (WARNING! There may be spoilers.)

2012 Jun 11, 18:59:37

I personally find the game to be faithful to its predecessors even though the game mostly takes place in Brazil, but the fact that they have the original VA's for the game and the throwback levels gives me some good nostalgia. One thing's for sure the gameplay's very refined but the dependence on the cover system is a bit much for what was a textbook definition of a run-and-gun series. Now that I've given my two cents, what do you think?

Sunset Winds

Spoiler: show

Name: Sunset Winds
Gender: Stallion
Species: Pegasi
Age: 21
Occupation: Freelance writer/Novelist
Special talent: Wind and cloud formation, able to fly through opposing wind currents, philosophy.

Body Color: Yellow
Mane/tail Color: Orange
Eye color: Orange
Physical appearance: Appears to be an average looking pegasus
Main accessory: None
Residence: Ponyville

Personality: Sunset is considered the type of pony who tends to think to himself a lot and because of this he appears to be quiet, and this is mostly true. Regardless of his quiet demeanor, he is at least soft-spoken. He shows respect to everypony and has a very unified idea of ponies, only varying the way he confronts others for their level of authority. Having an idealistic state of mind, Sunset weighs everything without prejudice to come to conclusions, even if it takes a lengthy amount of time to do so.  He has an all around positive outlook on life and in a way can be eager in rare situations.

Characteristics: Sunset has a poetic way with words, it's not uncommon for him to use metaphors, idioms and large, descriptive words. He sees the world differently from others, he knows that not all of Equestria is beautiful, but he also knows that this is the only world he lives in, taking in all of the wonder and ambience of the land as he could possibly muster. Sunset is an exceptional reader and writer as well, it is one of his favorite activities and can explain his sometimes poetic manner of speaking.  He has an able body, physically fit in many areas from flying to running, pulling, lifting, etc.

Bio: Growing up in a secluded environment due to protective parents, he had much time to think to himself, and eventually began to enjoy it more and more over the years. When he was enrolled in school, he was shown to be exceptionally bright and intelligent, but his lack of motivation to do his school work got him in trouble often. One day he had skipped curfew to go home to watch the sunset over the mountains. He found the hour of sunset to be his favorite time of the evening and would enjoy relaxing, flying or of course thinking during the sunset. This helped him earn his cutie mark, an orange cloud blowing winds. When he graduated from school he decided to move to Ponyville, it being much more quiet even with its occasional moments of chaos. Around that time he became an accomplished writer, writing short stories and having started a series of novels.

Flash Frame

Spoiler: show

Name: Flash Frame
Gender: Stallion
Species: Unicorn
Age: 24
Occupation: Film maker
Special talent: Directing and writing films

Body Color: Cream
Mane/tail Color: Dark blue
Eye color: Dark blue
Physical appearance: Slightly shorter than the average stallion, well built
Main accessory: Expensive sunglasses
Residence: Canterlot

Personality: Flash Frame has a very eccentric personality, he will go on about films and the visual media and when having an idea he will proceed to talk constantly about his idea when he is 'brainstorming'. He tends to jump to conclusions often, whether offering a pony that approaches him an autograph or quickly resulting a mystery of a situation. Otherwise Flash Frame is courteous to others and has a very refined sense of mannerisms.

Characteristics: Flash Frame is an eager pony, when he gets an idea he adheres to that idea for a certain amount of time depending on how well the idea holds up, whether it's a script or a cinematic aspect or style. His ideas are very copious in the sense that he would have to keep them in a notebook to keep track of a week's worth of his ideas. Even with his personality, Flash Frame possesses the ability to completely change his demeanor from eccentric to serious in a manner of seconds when needed. He's not tall, but his body has been refined from the help of his fitness trainer, even though he's not the type to do much physical labor.

Bio: Being a Canterlot unicorn, Flash had many luxuries since birth. One of these luxuries was being able to see and buy as many movies as he wanted. This sparked his interest in film at a young age, and even asked his parents for a film camera for his 9th birthday. Of course he recieved it, and using it he directed many home movies and stop motion animations with it. After recieving his cutie mark, he started to partake in school's film competitions and over time began making short independent films that would garner good reception. Flash now has a career in film writing and directing, even having a successful cult horror film made.

Keep in mind that I will be doing some editing over time, such as adding in new ponies and editing their profiles if there is something I feel that I didn't word correctly. And as stated in the title, I would like feedback to know if my OC's have anything that should be changed about them or not. Thanks for reading!
