I do, I can't forget your smoking heatman sprite avatar. Good to see you again.

sweet

also can anyone tell me what stuff is needed to play mm8bdm nowadays? when i left it was because of a huge amount of mods i had to install every time i wanted to get back into it and i'm not sure what's up anymore

(is there even people playing)

(i hope)

Well, if you use doomseeker or IDE, add "http://www.best-ever.org/wads" to the internet paths. That place has pretty much all the wads except for one required for saxton hale mode, which you can get here:
http://www.cutstuff.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=5359#p216666.

And yes, people are still playing this, but normally earlier in the day (or later, idk which timezone you are in).
The most popular mod right now is Saxton Hale, but quite a few players rediscovered playing without any wads in the last few days.

EDIT: I totally forgot that the classes mod now has the taunts in a seperate wad that you can get here: http://www.cutstuff.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=1743

As a reminder, I'm going away tomorrow against my will and won't be back until Saturday 6th at the most. Like I said, I'm told there's WiFi, but there's no telling on how good it is.

I need a break. For whatever reason I can't stand to be on Cutstuff right now. It's not like I can pay enough attention to keep forum games running as I just keep letting them die for weeks at a time, I'm sure no one has any interest in that crap anyway.

Basically I'm leaving until I'm not because I'm a butt who has no good reason to leave a site. I might show up if I manage to write something, probably not. The only thing I'll probably keep doing for sure is lead that slow moving fangame. But besides that, I'll be back whenever I feel like it.

Goodbye, Freeman.

man I should resend that G-Man speech to you so you can hear it when you get back and it'l make sense

[Dr. Freeman]

I lied. This is the last post. I need to be more specific.

I'm leaving because this community has grown up, for better or for worse. Mostly the latter. All I see anywhere from 90% of everyone is User A complaining how User B is a horrible person. User B complaining about how User A needs to die in a hole. User C complaining about User A some more while everyone yells at User D. 90% of this damn community is at each other's throats, talking crap behind everyone's back. Trust me, I've been in a chunk of calls. Not all of them obviously, but enough to constantly hear people mentioning a user and someone else saying, "Man I fucking hate that guy". And whoever the other guy happens to be, is usually bitching about someone else too.

Hell in my chat alone whenever I join calls it is one of three things.

1. Smash is streaming
2. Silence
3. People Complaining about People

And I feel no reason to pay any attention to a community that is mostly complaining about other members of the community. I don't care if Servbot sometimes makes ridiculous topics, I don't care if Kirbysonic made a mediocre Megaman recolor forever ago, I don't care if Alice mixed up Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 minigames. Those are just the first things that came to mind, everyone is just freaking out at everyone and it's ridiculous. It's at the point where there's way more unpleasant people then people who are on Cutstuff just to have fun and play Megaman games.

One thing I tried to do with my skype chat was to add as many people as possible, which usually led to things like "hey can we remove this guy" or "eww why was he added"

"But Freeman? Don't you have Island Survival" the bad forum game
"But Freeman? Don't you have that story" Because I really like being told "freeman write you can't do anything else with your life" and then when I do I get Thatguy, TGOT, and ColdFusion to say words, MAYBE someone else. (I do appreciate those three actually taking time to write comments and not obits most of the time) Either that or complaints about my grammar.

tl;dr- I don't care that everyone is being a jerk to everyone else so I'm leaving the community. Maybe for a while maybe forever if things don't change. I don't know.

See you all whenever.
Final post for real. For a while.

Insert Witty Last Words Here.

I'm going to miss you

even if you didn't even post that often, your presence was still there and I'm sure everyone noticed it

[Awbawlisk]

Oh shoot...... Well.... Bye Freeman. Hope you find a better community!

[Geno]

Bye dude. Hope you find another place to exist for the time being.

I sure am glad I'm not part of that 90%.

[Solar Equinox]

Whelp see you later

Thanks for the good story and just being a thing of a dood.  
So long and good luck with life.

[SmashTheEchidna]

Aw man. Sorry to see you go, Freeman. You will be missed.

See you down the road.

[Gumballtoid]

Sorry it got to this point, Freeman. We'll miss ya, buddy!

Worry not, I'll leave the dirt-finding to Llama or Xronim.

[GameAndWatcher]

You will, be missed, Freeman. I hope to see you again.

[Laggy Blazko]

Bye, Freeman. Thanks for the story stuff.
