Spoiler: GIF (click to show/hide)

I am so ready.

Also, that ogre ape's face is so bloody that it needs two bloody descriptors. That's got to be the bloodiest face around.

[Aquillion]

I am more concerned with that fist's penetration value.

Feature Friday (one day early, cause I'm on vacation next week!)

***Quick note: we'll be out of town next week, so there won't be a Feature Friday patch on November 13th. We'll pick up again the following week, on November 20th.

-Some regulatory agency mandated that gunsmiths stop selling 12-gauge shells; they were tricking buyers into thinking 12-gauge shotguns had been invented yet.
-The campfire choirs now have a Mechanimist preacher leading their flock. They spout short prayers (soon to be full sermons).

Holy face-snatching Fridays, Batman. This makes so much sense I'm ashamed I didn't come up with it myself.

[FallacyofUrist]

I can only imagine the boost from wearing that bear's face(now a mask, basically).

[puke]

All I can think of is:

Everybody wants prosthetic foreheads on their real heads

[Ehndras]

Can I wear a human face on my human face?

We need human cannibals, stat!

[forsaken1111]

We need randomly uploaded/downloaded bones files so I can find Ehndras' last dead character and wear his face on my face.

Two things: how do you sever faces anyway and...

My most recent character pulls out his pump-action shotgun and blasts an irritable tortoise(or perhaps a boar, I don't remember exactly), killing it. Within the shotgun's firing cone are two glow crows, neutral to me. The only two shotgun pellets that didn't hit the boar split up, and hit the crows. Yes, you heard right. And the crows were rather moderately distanced from my character, not short-ranged. Oh chance.

How good is a Stasis grenade III, anyway?
