Upcoming Indie Game: Faceless

A multiplayer horror game. Tell me please tell me if you've heard of any game that's a multiplayer horror game. If done right we could see a whole slew more of these but until then this is the only one (that I've heard of) that is trying horror with your friends. 

The game modes found in their site (http://facelessgame.com/index.php) are pretty interesting. 
There's the regular slender man set up (though they claim it's not connected to Slenderman at all). They have dolls scattered throughout the map and you need to collect them all and burn them to potentially "escape".There's also a "Versus" mode that one of your amigos is Slenderman and you need to kill your friends to win while they collect the dolls to escape. Another option is called "RUN". You run through maps as fast as you can avoiding Slenderman at all the maps. at the 3rd map you can escape. And the last mode is called "Hysterical Blindness" where one of your friends or you is Slenderman but that person will look like a regular person. The person who is Slenderman must kill everyone without people catching on who you really are.

It's pretty interesting if you ask me. But it doesn't matter how interesting it is if they don't release it anytime soon. But here's a trailer for the time being for what it could look like at the end. At the time of this post their latest update of the project was from July.


Creepy things you do out of games

There's a lot of things I do that comes straight out of games. I make sound effects when they sound appropriate for the situation (dun dun dun Duuuuun). To saying odd catchphrases that only my geeky friends would get. There are some things in this video though even though they're awkward I really do feel like doing. Like skipping dialogue, Barging through houses and looting them like it wasn't a big deal, solving puzzles. Things like that make me wish sometimes life was a videogame... if it wasn't awkward at least.

What would you do in a home invasion?

This may be paranoia speaking but I'm constantly afraid of that. It's probably the movies that make me think of that but no matter how safe I feel I know things can go south in an instant. I try to make short plans in my head when I hear an unexpected noise. "So I know that I have my laptop here, if I use the edge of that to hit the 'perps' I'd be good. This thing is pure aluminum!" Stuff like that I think of at night. Reading from that description though that might not be a good plan. Maybe I'll feel completely safe if I made my own iron man suit. 

But anyways, my neighborhood is "gated". You could wait at the gate for at most 10 min and someone that lives here would have a clicker to open the gate. So it's not full proof. My neighbors don't know who we are for the most part (which is our fault). And we live in a city that fosters crime with low levels of education and opportunity in the working world. 

Wow looking at this list scares me. You know I made this list to see if there were any qualities that I could think of. But I can't think of any...really I can't think of any... Well If any robber reads this just know I have an aluminum laptop that I can use as a bat. You've been warned -_-... And I may have a gun ...suckah!
