so this guy's been getting a lot of heat lately in clan arena games, but I've been wondering if he's legit myself. Anyone have any insight into who this guy really is?
"I think human consciousness, is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware, nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself, we are creatures that should not exist by natural law. We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self; an accretion of sensory, experience and feeling, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody is nobody. Maybe the honorable thing for our species to do is deny our programming, stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction, one last midnight - brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal."
cohle is one of the best characters i think in a long time from any program. really dark and attractive. i did not think so much of the ending. the program was building up great from the start and although it was enjoyable it was a bit silly i think seeing him turn into some kind of invincible superhero in this one episode where he is running through the houses with the biker gang,. and when it is such a poetic mystery as to what is going on, like some god like entity they are up against but in the end it is just a fat paedophile, it will make me wish they have taken a page from matybe lynch or kubrick and left some of it up to the imagination on the viewer.
I agree that the ending was a bit underwhelming. Its one of the few shows I love where the last episode is the worst. But by regular tv standards, still way better than most.
Season 2 will have neither of the original 2 main characters which is a good and bad thing for me. Good because I like the nice self contained and wrapped up story. Bad because I really enjoyed them both so much.
I think they have vince vaugn and collin farrel for S2 so far
See, the whole thing is about the occult. And the occult is all about duelism, light contrasting dark and so on and so forth.
Every character well reflected this underlying theme. The ending reflected this theme well too. The visions, we're never really told with certainty whether they are real or not. I think most assume not. But given it is fiction it does not have to be interpreted this way.
I think it's all rather brilliantly done and the ending was quite perfect. Some of the best writing I've ever seen in any medium.
The production, acting and everything else was top notch too of course.
He probably took it from True Detective but "Carcosa" comes from "The King in Yellow", a book by Robert W. Chambers which provided some inspiration for the True Detective mythos. Just FYI.
So what, another alt of oldschool player slummed the game full of steam noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooobs.
Day like any other in Quake.
stressrap/naotablows/purplerain/tenjin/carcosa and any other name he has used. he's a good player, but stressrap was banned for cheating as far as I know. he denies it of course... but can you ever really know?
yeah the only similarity is that he doesn't have rl bound. i never won lg fights against purplerain either.
he has high stats but i played a few maps in a row versus him today and never lost a map or any battles vs him so i'm not convinced he's even cheating (my lg vs lg is not that good at all and i beat him consistently).
but he seems to be french canadian so that's a red flag
nothing he did gave me the idea that it was extremerz. no random prefire rails before i peek (like extremerz typically does to me for whatever reason) no oddball dodging that really throws off my aim while he hits 100% LG at retarded angles, etc etc.
those things ^ make me think extremerz cheats, selectively, but also give away exactly who im playing against when i notice them.
carcosa doesnt do any of the telltale shit extremerz does. not against me at least.
french canadian with high accuracy narrows the list down to most of +aim and a few other players.
again, not many of them really play like carcosa does.
edit: could be fractals. havent seen that douchebag in a while.
I dunno, to me it's just another case of a guy with weird stats that everyone freaks out about but anyone with some experience and decent positioning will beat every time. I guess the witch hunts are just fun to chime in on. Goes to show how dull QL has gotten, I guess.
What about that jimqc guy that got banned again recently? Isn't he French Canadian and just keeps coming back on a new alias?
Canada? Hacking? Jamalz strikes again! There are probably around five very special people contributing to the hundreds of suspicious and banned accounts from Canada.
You misunderstood. I know for a fact there are five retards, each with 20 accounts minimum, half banned, all under a month old representing Canada. I wasn't saying there are only five contributing to the epidemic.
Don't worry I am pretty sure community isn't that far away. Is it? Maybe if he does show up you could be nice n' treat him to Aurelio's or some shit. Hell, I haven't been out that way in some time and don't plan on being again =/
Pretty solid performance. The aim is good but the damage is not very high. I've had CA matches where I've dealt ~11,000 damage and my team still loses. Sometimes you cannot win no matter how good your aim is.
Note: these are 5AM FFA games, vs. low difficulty players. Still pretty awesome though. I told him he should play in the duel cup on the 30th. I hope he turns up.
