Headshoots - You see a Deathsmith

Wow, headshoots was amazing - it really dragged at first, and I was like "eh, getting bored..." but as time went by it just got better and better!

Rooms that can't be found, mazes of twisty passages, clever plans and TRIBUTEs gone awry, walls to seperate the survivors from the madness of the fallen, suicide cults, undead, demons, and immortal godhead leading an undefeatable military force, collosal gravestones that provide the scene for a final epic confrontation before the fort topples into the dust... It was simple beautiful. And its a shame its sitting here mentioned on a later page of a thread about Boatmurdered - I think I'm going to repost this post in a new thread!

Someone needs to create an abridged version of this thread like happened with boatmurdered, because it does take a hell of a long time to read.

How come at least 3 posters in that thread have al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade avatars?

Weren't they working on an archived version to be posted on LP?

I don't remember reading about it in the thread, but it seems likely.

Yes: see the last couple of posts in that thread.

Frankly, I think Headshoots rivals Boatmurdered in terms of sheer awesome. They had rooms that you couldn't find even when you were looking at them. The only point against it I can come up with is the fact that the ending was sort of cheated in, but that was a necessary evil considering that there was otherwise no way of ending the fortress.

Like they said in the thread, Headshoots is to 3D what Boatmurdered was to 2D.

All burn.

Yeah, I'm at the beginning...seems kind of boring, but because people are talking about how it ramps up, I'll stick with it.

Oh God, I need to save that LP before the SA forums decide to crap out on me and lock me out.  :D

Fifty-six pages?  Dear heaven, that's a bit much.  :o

I'm talking about the bronze colossus. It's supposed to be made entirely of bronze.
But really he's just a softie inside. They all are really. When megabeasts come to your fort you never welcome them inside and give them a hug, do you. You heartless bastards...

It's a sorta ironic thing from their gloves-off politics subforum.

Yeah but all the actual updates are linked from the OP, so you don't have to scan the entire thread.

Not all of the updates are linked from the OP, just the first ones of each year.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

I don't suppose someone could make another 3d visualize of the TRIBUTE? It sounds grand but Phrog's expired. Or something. *continues reading*

edit: Ne'ermind, found one.
