SOMETHING AWFUL DOT COM

This game has a pretty good goon following and I'm sure it could expand even further if someone made the effort to make a new thread for this game in the Games Discussion forum or tried to start a competitive [LLJK] clan.

It's interesting that you say that.  At one point, it seemed like most griefers had [LLJK] tags.

Well, I can't really vouch for everyone, but our forums are mostly idiot-free. Most of the people I've seen who play this game from SA are pretty swell and are above deconning structures and ruining the game for other people.

I know for a fact though that griefers frequently pose as other players when they want to stir up drama. Who knows though, maybe we do have a few bad apples. V :-? V

I play Halo Custom Edition (well, used to :P) and I saw a map called A.T.C.S.XL and in the description it said it was based off tremulous... So I googled tremulous (after quite a few spelling errors :oops: ) and found it... And trust me, whoever made that map totaly nerfed it... I mean, it has an extra back room in the base and no tunnel from base to base. Plus he made it so much bigger than it should be... God, he fit two warthogs into each crevice leading into the bases! :D

Type "Freeware Games" on Google. Now tell me what is first.

"Captain Ventris" is the main character from three Warhammer 40,000 novels. Type "Captain Ventris" in google, and see who is first.

eres an idea: Why don't you go impale yourself on a stick and die gurgling blood in your own inadvertantly released urine and feces?
