For future reference, make sure that the link that you’re copying ends in “.jpg” or “.gif” or else it’ll break the link like it did. You have to right click the image itself and copy the link address instead of the imgur link.

Now that I got that out of the way, this is fascinating. Looks like an inverted image of one we’ve seen before (original…[Read more]

Thanks for posting that, @electrichippo. That looked…

Like a real slap, for realsies.

@macbethinabathtub – Sounds almost exactly like what Samson said when I asked him about himself.

Oh!? Did we get a name from this new player?

“Proud”

@thebuz, why do I get the feeling you’re using that word as a euphemism?

Hell yeah to both the panel and to the documentary! I can’t wait to see both

I DON’T CARE WHAT THE TRUTH IS. IT ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A BEAR TO ME.

@dawsonc – I agree entirely with your murder mystery analogy. People that I interacted with in Tension seemed to either form a persona or acted as themselves, choosing one path or the other based on personal reasons and whichever allowed them to get into it more. I played a bit of a persona because I needed it to get immersed into a world that I…[Read more]

@electrichippo telemarketers are fair game. Everything up to and including crying into the phone, firing off fake guns and then having the line go silent or reciting scripture nonstop until they eventually hang up is all okay when it comes to motherfuckers who call you you like that

Most of what I’d recommend has already been said here, but I’d like to reinforce a point that others have touched on:

The point of all of this is to become immersed. It’s the strength of this medium and what makes it great. But you must remember that we operate in an entirely different world than the public. We are literally playing a game, and…[Read more]

@mouse – My understanding is that the books are finished and going to be shipping March 10, so you should be getting it soon

Personally, I normally give it a couple hours before doing any deep dive on suspected spam. The polish topic’s gone now so someone out there is watching, but it looks like the process isn’t instant

@lilmsfancpants – I could see that, do you suspect that we’ll be seeing his insecurities shine through, ultimately unable to keep afloat his untenable ego? Or unravel as his facade fades and he can’t maintain the lies of success he’s built?

Or do you think we’ll see him lean in more towards it, perhaps with a more Patrick Bateman vibe?

@coryphella 😉

My contribution for new conversation thread, because I get the feeling this one’s about to take a harsh left turn into creepy.

Does anyone else find Noah entertaining, even refreshing with his brutal (if arguably inaccurate) bravado? Surely not everyone views him as just a dick kicking target?

I’m with @sbkevin on this. Besides, making your prospective clients/business partners/targets wait is literally power play 101 and is to be expected

@thebuz – When did you get that? Was old, and part of your catch-up/ketchup kerfuffle or was it received recently?

Looks like Imagine Painting is a real company, with reviews and everything. A whois check says that the site’s existed for a couple years, before both Lust and Tension. It’s a hell of a coincidence but I think it’s a coincidence
