About

I’m one of KYM’s long-time users. I started back in early ’09, and stuck around because I like learning about the origin of my favorite jokes spread through internet culture.

@KippThe TF2 Spreadsheet. @BSoD There was, but the turnout was a bit small. Only about eight showed up, but Popper left early, and Pyro only stayed for a match or two, so it was more like six. I think we should do another one sometime soon, but with more time in advance to let people know. I just went with Wednesday because Electric Muffins said that was good for him, but I don’t know if he even showed up. Anyone know his Steam? I’ve yet to add him. no matter how good you are with stock launchers, the...

YES, GOD DAMN, SERIOUSLY. I just got a Strange Scottish Resistance, so I can be a little patient while we wait on new explosives. But they’re still long overdue. Speaking of explosives, new idea for a strange part: number of suicides. If the Strange Caber is any indication, people would go crazy for it.

KYM Pony General VI: Return of the Poni

Mentally Advanced is almost entirely voice acted by one guy who does all of the mane 6 and the CMC. He pretty much worked alone for the first several episodes. I’m actually impressed by that. It’s pretty much the same case for FiW. They got more people sooner, but they had a correlative rise in production value, too, which, in my opinion, made the overall product more impressive. Eh, maybe Mentally Advanced just isn’t my thing, I dunno. Also the Mentally Advanced Pinkie is the best Pinkie. Yeah,...

KYM Pony General VI: Return of the Poni

Friendship is Witchcraft gets better later on. The first two episodes were honestly pretty weak, but it gets funnier when they stop trying to dub entire episodes, and edit multiple episodes in order to have scenes that fit their own plot-line. It makes the humor more fluid, and less forced in. @Pinkamena Diane Pie I have to go with FiW. I could never get into the Mentally Advanced series. I think one of the biggest factors is the voice-acting. The Mentally Advanced series has a bunch of goofy, unfitting...

You know, the more I think about it, the more I can’t help but wonder why the sniper didn’t get the Flying Guillotine instead. It doesn’t make sense on the scout. He’s already the fastest class in the game. He doesn’t need a long-range option. That’s what sniper’s for. Just replace Sandman K.O.’s with Sydney Sleeper shots, keep the rest of its game mechanics, and it would be perfect. No offense to scout players, but scout and soldier are constantly getting updates. I just feel like Valve keeps neglecting...

Today I played against a Huo Long Heatmaker Heavy. I backstabbed him without taking any damage. Thank you Conniver’s Kunai! Fought him as other classes as well. I really don’t think it’s OP at all. That Flying Guillotine might be. I’ve only fought against it once, but it was very obnoxious. It did around 100 damage from further off plus bleed damage. Not to mention the instant-kill if used with the Sandman, regardless of the range. I’m not gonna say for sure it’s OP since I haven’t fought it much, but at...

Hey guys. KYM TF2 game this Wednesday. I want to get all of our TF2 fans on at one time. Should be fun. If any of you have your own server, let us know. We can lock it so it will be just us KYM folks. Otherwise, we’re just gonna find an empty server.

Favorite Books?

I don’t get to read much, but I’d like to get some more books from Douglas Adams or Chuck Palahniuk. Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is hilarious, and I skimmed through a few Palahniuk books after finding out he wrote Fight Club. The man writes some seriously crazy shit.

KYM Pony General VI: Return of the Poni

Yes, Sweetie Bot is originally from Friendship is Witchcraft. No idea how they came up with the idea exactly It was part of Cheerilee’s class in the first few seconds of the episode “Cute From the Hip.” I would imagine they just threw Sweetie Bot in at the end as a gag, but liked it enough to give her her own episode. Glad they did, too. “Neigh, Soul Sister” is my favorite by far. To all of you who have yet to look into Friendship is Witchcraft, I strongly urge you to give it a try! It’s absolutely...

EDM general

Quite possibly. I mean I could be bias here because I don’t go around rock, hip-hop or pop video’s and count how many people argue over the genre there, therefore I don’t know how common the phenomena is in other major genre’s That’s a good way to put it into perspective. I do listen to other genres, and I rarely see these arguments outside the realm of electronic. I think it has to do with the implementation of effects. A lot of house I’ve heard has the attack envelope cranked up on synths that drive...

Music General

@BSoDThis defiantly sounds like hip hop. The reason that answer is so wrong is because it was posted by the smartass that made the song. :V @Twins Dammit! I saw the cover art before reading the post and the style made me think it was Xanopticon. I got excited when I thought there was another Xanopticon fan here. Now I has a sad. :( Also, am I the only one who would like to avoid having another music thread that’s just a video dump, and actually have a conversation about music in here? I was having...

EDM general

Sorry I can’t add to the current conversation, but I’m not familiar with any trance. I’ve never heard any that caught my interest, aside from a few Infected Mushroom tracks a friend told me to check out. I’ve heard them referred to as trance, but it sounds like a completely different genre to me. Is it just me, or is electronic the most confusing when it comes to subgenres? I’ve never had this problem with rock music. I suppose Jazz might be as bad, though. (seriously, you would not BELIEVE how many...

KYM Pony General VI: Return of the Poni

It annoys me when people cling to their fanon to the point where they consider it above the factuality of the show. Especially when it’s about things like a character’s name or the slight variation of a character’s eye color. Fanon is not supposed to be an alternate version of the show’s canon, it’s meant to fill in the cracks and establish characters within the same context that the show is in. I agree with this wholeheartedly. I liked old Vinyl Scratch artwork with red eyes, but I dislike new art that...

I figure I’ll leave a link to my inventory. I’ll sell any duplicate weapon for a scrap. SERIOUSLY, I HAVE FOUR AMPUTATORS, PLEASE BUY ONE. Also, I have a stout shako now. Any takers? BSoD said:I don’t know how it works, but it works. That syringe gun is oddly dangerous to scouts. It does around 10 damage at any distance the scout is even remotely effective, and it’s rapid fire. Also, the rapid fire makes it hard to avoid, even when jumping around. You may do more damage, but you have 6 shots in...

FYI: the quick fix is terrible, it is only to be used on multiple people, not on offensive pushes. THE QUICK-FIX IS MY FAVORITE MEDI-GUN, DO NOT DISS THE BEST. Ubers are great for making a push, but if there’s not an engie nest, it’s not typically necessary. You can usually just stick with the quick-fix and keep everyone healed and make a push anyway. Not having overheal sucks, but the boost in healing speed makes up for it. You can heal one guy and be on to the next one easily, whereas other medi-guns...

Kairos offered some good tips. I’m gonna repost some of my Medic tips from an older thread too. Pocket Medic is what bad medics do. Heal EVERYONE. If a heavy can’t keep himself alive long enough for you to heal someone else, he’s terrible and deserves to lose. A full team with overheal beats a heavy with overheal any day. Give demo or soldier an uber if you need to take out sentries. Give Heavy or pyro uber if you need to clear out huge crowds quickly,heavy in open areas, pyro in close corridors. if you...

Disregard my previous question. I found out that it’s Danger and the Bloody Beetrots. Listened to a song or two from them and I don’t really think it’s my kind of thing. But I did find a Concord Dawn song with Slayer samples:
