Mod + Memory: Amicable Unbonding
Season’s Greetings! I’ve figured out how to make a mod that lets sims break up without causing furious reactions, and here it is - consider it an early Christmas present (or anything else my followers might be celebrating) from me!
With the mod installed, Sims who are married, engaged or going steady have access to a new social (cloned from @midgethetree’s Just Be Friends mod) found under Propose.../Unbonding so there’s less likelihood of clicking it by mistake. This interaction will remove the married/engaged/steady flags, as well as the family ties if married, and will add the optional custom memory I included if you have it installed - but won’t break your game if you’re wary of custom memories and choose not to install that file. However, it will not change the two sims’ daily or lifetime relationships (or make them fall out of love; use Midge’s mod for that), move either of them out, or make them or their children upset about it.
It does not replace or alter the standard Maxis Break Up interaction, or Midge’s Friendly Break Up mod - so if you still want a nasty breakup for certain scenarios, this mod won’t stop you. The custom memory is positive and has an icon taken from TS3.
GUIDs: Controller = 0x86797B9C Interaction = 0x86797B9D Memory = 0x86797B9E
Any conflicts or issues, let me know and I’ll fix them. Enjoy, and have an awesome festive season! - Equinox/VT

A very merry un-Valentine’s Day
I had the idea of making some Valentine’s Day gifts for my fellow asexuals and aromantics, so we can still enjoy the good bits of the day without the actual relationship stuff. I know I’m uploading this part two days early, but I was spurred on by completing the torch-to-wand defaults last night, as well as the Natasha Una post I reblogged today (I’ve been listening to that song on a repeat loop since then).
This is a tiny little trait name replacement mod, turning the Commitment Issues trait to the TS4 equivalent Noncommittal. Because not wanting to settle down is a matter of personal preference, not a shortcoming! It only changes the name and description, not any mod functionality. You’ll still need trait_MAIN from the original traits project post to have this show up in game. Please note, this is the collection only trait.
Download (SFS)
Credits: @hexagonal-bipyramid for the trait mod, @gonerilcapp for the less ableist trait name mod that inspired me, EA/Maxis for the original trait and for having the good sense to  switch to a less judgmental name in TS4.

In my efforts to become a better mesher, I’ve decided to join a dating site for non-monogamous vampires. It’s really helping me to find decent poly counts.

Interest Ages Mod
@rio-sims​ literally just asked me if I’d made a mod editing the interest age limits EA assigned. I have; here it is (SFS). Now all sims’ interest levels are truly random and not dependent on their age stage. Come on EA, there are topics I’ve never been interested in, regardless of my age (looking at you, Fashion interest) and I don’t see why being a certain age means you “have to” be more or less into any topic. ;)
Credits: - @rio-sims​ for the post that prompted me to upload this. - I’m pretty sure @midgethetree made a post about the in-game interests and their age limits. If it wasn’t Midge, please can someone let me know so I can credit the actual poster?

CAS Memory Equality Mod
Thanks to some advice from @midgethetree​ on which resources to edit, which I literally received just now, I’ve been able to fix something that’s bugged me for years: the fact that, even with mods like “pregnancy for all genders,” “have child not adopt” and “same-sex marriage,” when you make a same-sex couple in CAS they will still get the “joined” memory as well as “adopted child” if they also have offspring. That ends today! :)
With this little mod, all couples created in CAS now get the “married” memory. They will also get the “had child” memory rather than “adopted” if they are created with children. Thanks again to Midge for the advice - without her help I would have spent hours looking at the wrong resources!
What am I forgetting? Oh yes...

I would absolutely love to see more of that Naegiri PMD AU! It was great! Also, I want to know what Pokemon the other characters were, if you thought that out.
Anon: Mod kirigiri, what pokemon was byakuya and the others in the mystery dungeon AU if you dont mind me asking?
Tumblr media
…This Mystery Dungeon thing’s gotten more attention than I anticipated.
Not saying that’s a bad thing, just… a bit overwhelming. With how much I love PMD, I’m actually kind of excited about it all. 
Given that I’m moving currently, this seemed like an easier request to tackle. I have a few others relating to it that I’ll get to once things have settled down a bit. Some of these will have more detailed/defined description than others. Keep in mind this is kind of a developing AU, so things are subject to change with time and refinement.
Some of these are based on a previous Pokemon ask I handled, actually the first ask I handled, (which you can find here) others are changed to fit them being a Pokemon more. I mostly tried to avoid Pokemon that were major NPC’s in previous games, but what happens, happens.
Mystery Dungeon AU Pokemon:
Detective Society: The Detective’s Society functions in a similar way to the Explorer’s Guild or Exploration Society does in the other games. Their primary goal is to help rescue Pokemon that have gone missing in Mystery Dungeons and to track down criminals. Despite the name, not all of its members are ‘detectives’ per se, but they all share a similar goal of helping other Pokemon through similar means.
(I don’t actually have names for all the teams yet, but the names bunched together are on a team together.)
Makoto: RockruffMakoto is this story’s human turned Pokemon. With a memory that’s hazy at best, he’s unsure of what he’s doing in this world, but wants to figure it out. By a stroke of luck, the first other Pokemon he meets is Kyouko, who is willing to help him out in investigating his missing memory in exchange for his cooperation in getting her into the Detective’s Society. The two of them get off to a rocky (mind the pun please) start, but the bond they form over the course of their adventure, as they discover Makoto’s purpose and lost memories, is undeniable.Kyouko: EspeonAn aloof Espeon that’s a detective by blood and shrouded in mystery. She has no interest in joining the Detective Society for usual reasons, rather they have information that can only be accessed by its members that she wants. She agrees to help Makoto with his missing memories in exchange for him forming a team with her in the Society. Her blunt words and sometimes cold attitude can sometimes turn others away (as was her intention with Makoto), but with time and patience, she warms up to Makoto to form one of the best teams the Detective Society has ever seen
Hina: BuizelAn energetic former athlete turned Detective Society member. Hina found herself finally reaching the top of the game in athletics and wanted a new challenge, so she decided her next goal would be to make a change in the world that she wanted to see. She’s not exactly the best investigator on cases, but actually taking down outlaws is no challenge for her and her partner Sakura. She especially loves to lead water based investigations and rescuesSakura: MachokeReferred to as the ‘Most Powerful Pokemon’, Sakura decided to use her skills to fight for a good cause. Being the slightly more level-headed of her team, Sakura is a good balance to the ever energetic Hina. Neither she or her partner serve as the best investigators, but are useful allies in rounding up and arresting running outlaws. Her team are some of the closest allies to Makoto and Kyouko.
Taka: RuffletTaka became a member of the Society in order to better the world and clear the air about his family name. His passion and dedication often frighten people off, which made him incapable of keeping a partner for very long until Mondo was assigned to him. Although they initially seemed like the worst enemies, one overnight case seemed to make them the best of friends. After adding Chihiro as officially a part of their team, Taka does his best to lead his team towards the truth on all their cases.Mondo: ScraftyMondo used to lead a gang with his brother, but an accident that led to his death turned him away from that life. Now he wants to use his position to help steer others away from such a path that he took in his life. He tries his best at investigating, but he’s willing to admit that the hunting criminals part is more his speed. Still, he and his team work to the best of their ability to solve the cases presented to them.Chihiro: JoltikChihiro isn’t much of a fighter, preferring to run some behind the scenes things within the Detective’s Society or help investigate some of the smaller cases. Out of the three, he’s the best at investigating, however lacks confidence in his abilities. Chihiro is also responsible for running maintenance on the equipment of the Detective’s Society, including the map, bulletin board, tracking systems, and computers. It seems like a lot, but he handles it all in stride.
Byakuya: PersianThe heir to the Togami family, Byakuya is simply a part of the Society out of necessity. His family funds the Society and is tasked with keeping a watchful eye on it’s activities. He’s certainly a competent investigator in his own right, but he’s much less invested in each individual case and less tactful about how he goes about things, and even has used manipulation in the past get things within the society to go his way (with the one exception seeming to be getting assigned a different partner) He finds Makoto “useful, but bothersome” and has occasionally forced him to go along with him on cases.Touko: SneaselA very timid Pokemon with a stutter, Touko doesn’t like to go out to the field often. She prefers to handle other tasks like filing through the requests to post onto the bulletin board and keeping records of completed cases. However, if Byakuya asks (or even if he doesn’t) she will run out to hunt down criminals without a second thought regardless from her. There are moments, however, when she seems to relish in hunting down criminals and even has to be restrained to prevent injuries to them. There are whispers of another, darker personality at play, although few buy into them.
Junko Enoshima: TeddiursaThe one exception to the Society’s team rule due to having lost her previous partner in a tragic accident. Despite the loss, Junko is a very happy and cheery personality, always willing to assist when she can. Often she surprises people with her own combat abilities and her powerful moveset. However, there are some that claim that there’s something off about her, often claiming to hear or see her in more than one location at the same time.Mukuro Ikusaba: ???The former partner of Junko who lost her life in a tragic accident long ago. Little is known about her beyond the fact that she was a powerful foe and not one to go down without a fight.
Not everyone is a part of the Detective’s Society! Some simply live in the town of Hope’s Peak and run businesses or have other jobs
Hiro: EggxecutorSimilar to his DR counterpart, he is a fortune teller (If this were a game he’d also serve the purpose of unlocking treasure boxes with his abilities) He’s not officially a member of the Society, he’s not really good at investigating, but his services are sometimes used by the Society on particularly difficult cases. He’s also on good terms with several members and can often be found lazing about with some of them.
Sayaka: MeowsticSimilar to her DR counterpart, Sayaka is a well known pop idol in this world who befriends Makoto. She ends up being the first client of Makoto and Kyouko after they form their team together and afterwords tends to assist them when she can with her own abilities. Kyouko isn’t entirely trusting of her though, although she’s not quite sure why.
Leon: Monferno Leon is the first criminal caught by Makoto and Kyouko when they are officially Detective Society members. After he’s caught and revealed his intention was only to try and afford reaching his musician aspirations, he is given a chance to reform himself by working with Sayaka. Although a bit brash and hot tempered, he tries his best to help out those in need when he can.
Celeste: GothitelleShe runs a popular cafe in Hope’s Peak known mostly for it’s strange atmosphere and excellent teas. It’s a popular hotspot for Society members to find work when the bulletin board is a little sparse.Celeste herself however, is rather elusive. Those that have met her have described her with one key word: Frightening, and highly recommend to watch your wallet around her.
Hifumi: SmeargleHifumi is a popular artist the frequents Celeste’s cafe to gather inspiration for his work. He’s most well known for creating exaggerated tales about some of the Society members adventures that he overhears while at the cafe, but he dabbles in other works too when commissioned. (If this were in game, he’d probably serve a similar role that Smeargle does in the rescue team games with the flags and such)
As I said, details on this are subject to change and refinement, this is just what I have upon my preliminary drafts for all this. I’d like to also eventually include the SDR2 cast in this AU as well, but I’m not quite sure how to work them in yet.
...The Mystery Dungeon AU is kinda becoming a thing now, so if you have a request that isn’t part 2 of the original post (and I only say that because it’s already being worked on) then shoot em at me.

BIRTHDATE .      He woke up December 21st  BIRTHPLACE .      Woke up in the desert just outside Reno Nevada  GENDER .     Male ORIENTATION .     panromantic pansexual . SPECIES .     [ REDACTED ] ( he actually has no idea what he is. That terrifies him. Most people assume he is a zombie or a ghoul -- but he knows that doesn’t quite fit.) OCCUPATION .      student. professional hitman. SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS .      working class. CURRENT RESIDENCE .      shitty bottom floor apartment in the rough side of  Monstropolis.

PETS .      Ugly - a Barghest that followed him home one day. She’s less of a pet and more like a roommate.

PERSONAL  !
MORAL ALIGNMENT .      lawful good    /   neutral good   /   chaotic good    /    lawful neutral    /    true neutral    /    chaotic neutral    /    lawful evil    /    neutral evil   /   chaotic evil    .

He’s after all for the first time let someone ( @hellrager ) into his home. None of his friends even knew where he lived for the longest time. His other major secrets include -- his lack of a sense of touch. It gets so bad sometimes he can barely walk. He hides this major weakness do to his rough lifestyle (while it also explains it). He can’t remember anything about his life before or why he woke up outside of Reno of all places. This scares him. He has no idea WHAT he is. Which is even more terrifying. He has night terrors almost every night -- but even if he were to tell someone about this -- he can’t remember what they are about when he wakes up. Only that he’s terrified. He’s scared that whatever made him will eventually come back for him. Which is why he pushes away anyone who gets too close. He thinks that one day he might become a thrall to someone else’s will and believes that if he has less to lose... then when the time does come it wont hurt as bad. Lastly he wants to become a tattoo artist and do body mods. Although due to the last secret he doesn’t pursue it because he doesn’t think there is a point.  STRENGTHS .      creative , tenacious, determined, loyal, laid back, grounded, non-judgemental, supportive, adaptive, devoted to his friends, protective,  WEAKNESSES .      enigmatic , competitive , stubborn , wrathful, murderous, selfish, standoffish, introverted, impulsive, aloof, sadistic, liar, cunning

Animals - he really is fond of animals in an almost cute way. Murder - something he genuinely enjoys taking part in. He’s unapologetic about it. It’s not just business - or because he has to. Brian kills people because he likes to. Making fun of shitty horror movies. Taking part in mass brawls.  
PHYSICAL  !
FACECLAIM(S) .      Canon appearance, for his human self Nicolas Brown from Gangsta. HAIR .      Black and surprising thick. It doesn’t have a proper style or anything right now. He cuts his hair himself when it starts to get in his way and that’s it. He doesn’t like strangers touching his scalp as it is the one place where he has retained a lot of feeling. EYES .     He’s got pretty long, almost feminine lashes. Thick like his hair. Black sclera with an icy silver iris.   SKIN .      Pale Green, at times almost ashen toned due to his blood being very dark. BUILD .     scrawny    /    bony    /    slender    /    fit    /    athletic    /    curvy    /    full - figured    / herculean    /    pudgy    /    average . HEIGHT .      6′0 WEIGHT .     I’m so bad with weights. Brian is however made of lean muscle tone. SCARS  /  BIRTHMARKS .     many. Main ones are: on his face - his cheek has been ripped off. Also has a scar on the bridge of his nose. His shoulder is also torn. Parts of his spine are exposed as well. And on his chest he has three huge gashes from a werebear. Full scar listing is here.  CONSTITUTION  /  FITNESS .      He’s like a machine with how fit he is. He has a strict work out routine and as of currently never gets sick. His body doesn’t even decay. But it doesn’t heal either. He has to patch things up on his own with fleshcrafting magic.
FAVORITES !
DISH(ES) .      Brian is a carnivore. He only eats meat based dishes. He’ll eat other things occasional for the pleasure of the taste -- but tends to stay away from breads. He likes strong tasting foods. Spicy or Sour.  DRINK(S) .      Anything with alcohol in it . PIZZA TOPPING(S) .      meat lovers. COLOR(S) .     Black. Grey.  Dark Red. Browns. Silver. Gold.  MUSIC GENRE(S) .     classic rock. Metal.  BOOK GENRE(S) .     horror, action adventure, lore books. MOVIE GENRE(S) .      horror, action.  CURSE WORD(S) .      fuckstick, cunt, bitch, fuck,  SCENT(S) .      fire, gun smoke, cigarette smoke, spicy scents, musky scents. Damien. QUOTE(S) .      “Talk Shit, Get Bit.” or “Whatever doesn’t kill me better start running.”
FUN STUFF  !
TOP , BOTTOM , OR SWITCH .      Switch. But he’s bottom leaning even if he wont admit it.  SINGS IN THE SHOWER .     VERY occasionally.  LIKES PUNS .      Yes. He can’t help himself. Murder + puns. yes. HOGWARTS HOUSE .      Surprisingly enough? He’d probably be Gryffindor because he is loyal, passionate, and an arrogant asshole. If not that then Sytherin - while he’s not ambitious which is what would keep him out of that house I think -- he IS cunning.  MBTI .      I really should do that test for my muses. It’s just so long I haven’t done it yet. TEMPERAMENT .      Angry at the world. Hostile towards strangers. Warm to friends.  ENNEAGRAM .     what?? ABILITIES  /  POWERS .      Brian is functionally immortal. This means that even if he is torn apart he can still survive the encounter. He one put himself halfway through a wood chipper to find out if he would die or not. It took him two weeks to put himself back together. Other than that he has super strength. Full posting of his skillset can be found here.

We Got Tagged
Hey everyone, we got tagged by @localmutantlesbian in this mutant ask thing so here we go (as always Z will be using bolded font and Vex will use italics and if we’re both saying it it’ll be both bolded and in italics, just so ya know who’s who in our answers if ya don’t wanna read our names every time). Here we go!
1. What’s your codename/mutant name?
Z: I can’t decide honestly, I’ve considered something simple like “Shifter” and crazy shit like “Dragon Queen” but they’ve all been shot down so far either by me or by Prof.X or one of the other Profs or my friends for being lame
V: This is a question I hate because I totally would’ve gone with like “Multiple Girl” but Multiple Man has that and they won’t let me pick something in a dead or nerd language (even though I think it’d be super cool) so I also don’t have one. We don;t go into the field much yet though so it doesn’t really matter yet.
2. Age?
Z: 19 going on 20, birthday is in May
V: Same except my birthday is in June
3. Gender and pronouns?
Z: Genderfluid with a current lean towards nonbinary so they/them or she/her or he/him all work for me, I don’t really care
V: Genderqueer, They/Them or She/Her please
4. What is your mutation(s)?
Z: Shapeshifting and mild hydrokinesis and is ADHD a mutation? Cause I swear it gives me superpowers
V: Creating multiples of myself and enhanced strength, speed, and senses. And yeah ADHD should definitely count as a power.
5. Are you a member of any mutant group (X-Men, The Mutant Underground, The Brotherhood of Mutants, Morlocks, etc)?
Z: X-Men in training at Xavier's (But I have friends in The Brotherhood)
V: Ditto
6. Got any physical mutations?
Z: Yeah, although mine are mostly by choice seeing as I’m a shapeshifter. I’m fond of my claws and fangs and tails and scales and horns and freaky eyes for everyday use
V: Nope, not really.
7. When did your powers manifest?
Z: Around 13
V: 12 and a half
8. What is your favourite thing about your powers?
Z: Everything. I love my powers, I love that I can be anything and do anything if I put my mind to it. It makes me who I am honestly, I don’t know who I’d be without my powers. Hell I’d probably have killed myself if my powers hadn’t manifested when they did I hated myself so much back then. Of course being at Xavier’s and meeting V and my other friends helped too. But yeah I love my powers and how they make me feel.
V: Ditto honestly, my powers help me learn so much and so much faster than I used to be able to, the focus I gain from my clones alone is a life saver when I have to do anything I find boring (which is a lot because Inattentive ADHD sucks royally). The enhanced senses and stuff are pretty awesome too, nothing better than losing your favorite pen under a couch and being able to lift the couch over your head ta get it back. I wouldn’t trade my powers for anything in the world.
9. Biggest pet peeve related to being a mutant?
Z: Assholes being assholes to us, assholes who only approve of human-passing mutants who think we should be grateful they even tolerate that much, not being able to find good shapeshifter friendly clothing that still looks cool and comes in plus sizes, and uppity fuckwad mutants who judge others on powers or looks or anything else because god dammit we need to stick together and support each other. I could go on because I have a lot but I won’t or this’ll take forever.
V: The asshole issues that Z pointed out but also when my powers go outta control cause I lose my cool or something and I have ta calm down ta find control again and it’s really hard, or when I sneeze cause of allergies and I accidentally sneeze a clone out...it’s embarrassing. Also accidentally hurting people with my enhanced strength....I hate that too
10. Ever been to space or another dimension?
Z: Yeah by accident.....it involved tequila....lots of tequila....
V: Nope
11. Do you wear a costume (BE HONEST)
Z: Sorta? I have ta make a lot of my own clothes cause of my physical mutations and shapeshifting so sometimes they come out looking very costumey and I am fond of leather which doesn’t help. I guess my battle gear counts? Loose black cargo pants (need all the pockets for gadgets and snacks cause shapeshifting requires a fuckton of calories and effort), black tank top (lightweight body armor actually but designed ta look like a tank top), arm warmers (again armor, they cover from my wrists to halfway up my upper arm, they’re also black). black leather fingerless gloves, combat boots (with knives hidden in the toes, also black except I change the laces all the time cause I like making them funky colors and designs), and a black leather weapons belt that holds at least one stun gun, two daggers/medium sized knives, and in some cases a sword because I like it. All of it’s like....well for lack of a better term...enchanted ta survive my shifts (including into dragon form) so it doesn’t rip or tear or anything. Apparently when I shift it kinda just disappears into a pocket dimension and then reappears on me when I shift back...I dunno how it works, ask Scarlet Witch she hooked me up. And by the way the weapons are because sometimes if I’m too drained ta shift I gotta go hand-to hand.
V: Yeah kinda, it’s my battle gear too. Navy cargo pants (I keep extra snacks for Z), black t-shirt, black wrist guards, black boots with purple laces and skulls and stuff painted on them, purple weapons belt holding a stun gun, throwing knives (like a frick ton, I also store more in my pants), more knives of varying sizes, smoke bombs (great for sneak attacks, just throw to confuse enemy and then attack from all sides with clones. I have flash bombs too), and a couple different versions of brass knuckles, and then I wear opaque black sunglasses too because I like them. Oh and yes my shirt is body armor like Z’s is of course, and my boots are steel toe.
12. Are you a minority in another way (race, gender, disability, etc)?
Z: Genderfluid Panromantic Demisexual who’s got mad depression, anxiety, ADHD, and fainting spells and I’m Polyamorous
V: Genderqueer, Queer in general, demisexual and polyamorous also with severe anxiety as well as dsycalculia and ADHD 
13. Coolest power you’ve seen?
Z: I love Storm’s powers, but Scarlet Witch is pretty cool too
V: I concur with Storm but I’m also fond of Z’s powers cause watching your friend turn into a dragion is really cool
14. Favourite mutant artist?
Z: Dunno
V: Ditto
15. How would your friends describe you?
Z: Loud, proud, queer as fuck, angry, musical, a water baby, a literal and metaphorical dragon, bad influence, pun queen, kind of insane, kinky, and V’s shoulder devil/inner crazy bitch. 
V: Quiet, secretly vindictive, punk af, dorky, wordy, easily distracted, helpful, accidental group therapist, mom friend, and Z’s conscience/shoulder angel. 
16. Enhanced/powered person you most want to meet?
Z: Deadpool, I always miss him when he visits and it sucks
V: Spiderman......I just think he seem really cool
17. Feelings about mutant registration?
Z: No, just no. That’s how they end up rounding us up and killing us all. If it’s an operation run by us mutants ourselves as a way to work together and support each other and offer aid to mutants and help mutant youth who’ve been kicked out of their homes and stuff like that then sure. But not some government list of us all, fuck no.
V: Yeah ditto on that.
18. #MutantandProud or #WeWantACure?
Z&V: #MutantandProud
Z&V: Again unless it’s something regulated by mutants for mutants, no. Because it should be a mutants choice whether or not they want their powers because some people get royally screwed and end up with powers they hate because they are dangerous or something like that. It shouldn’t be something the government or anyone else can decide, it should always be the mutants individual choice. 
19. How did you choose your codename?
Z: Don’t have one yet but when I do choose it’ll probably be like...by throwing darts at a bunch of names I like or a coin flip or something
V: Don’t have one yet, I’ll tell you how I chose it when I figure one out.
20. OPTIONAL: what caused your powers to manifest?
Z: Got mad, grew talons and fangs and scales cause I was reading about mythological creatures earlier, was not pretty. It happened when I was alone though so that was a plus. (I was mad because of a text from my boyfriend at the time). The hydrokinesis thing I figured out after I got to Xavier’s...was outside in the courtyard....got catcalled by some asshole student....wished I could dump water on his head....fountain water flew up and over and dumped gallons on his head....it was awesome.
V: I sneezed at the dinner table and three clones shot out of me....the strength and speed stuff I figured out at school in gym class when suddenly I was kicking ass at track and field after always sucking at it my whole life....The senses I figured out when I could hear waaaayyyyy too much noise everywhere and everything smelled waaayyy too strong and suddenly I could see without my glasses (yeah I used ta have and need glasses, I don’t anymore but if I did they’d be cats-eye style like a vintage librarian because reasons). 
Tagging: We’re not really sure who ta tag so if you wanna do it then feel free ta do it and tag us!

Show of the Week - CS:GO Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Second Show of the Week transcribed and giffed! Once again, if there are any mistakes please tell me!
(Mike)
Hello and welcome to OutsideXbox’s Show of the Week. Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated as have rumours of my lucrative life insurance policy it turns out, Jane.
 (Jane)
Yes, well, I mean it got us this moderately priced new studio so don’t knock it deado.
 (Mike)
Our game of the week this week is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive or if you prefer the syllable saving CS: GO. A Valve game that shuns storyline in favour of action, it’s a… [interrupted]
 (Jane)
Woah, woah, woah what do you mean it shuns storyline? It’s a Valve game. It’s got to have story.
 (Mike)
It doesn’t have a storyline, it’s a straight up multiplayer.
 (Jane)
No, no, no it’ll be in the world somewhere. It’ll be emergent storytelling Valve style cause they’re clever like that.
 (Mike)
If you say so. Super-secret hidden storylines aside. Here’s what you need to know about CS: GO. CS: GO is a multiplayer only team based shooter in which a squad of pretty non-specific terrorists go up against a squad of noble counter terrorists. Terrorists mostly want to plant bombs and hold hostages while the counter terrorists want to defuse bombs and rescue hostages. Also, each side wants to kill the other side. And that’s the entire fictional premise for Counter-Strike Jane, honestly. It’s also a game with a long and storied past. Counter-Strike began life all the way back in the last millennium, if you can believe it. When PC gamers like me fought off dinosaurs by day and scored headshots by night. The game started out in 1999 as a multiplayer mod for Valve’s seminal sci-fi FPS Half Life made by modders Minh Lee and Jess Cliffe. It took the torch from straight up death match multiplayer shooters such as Quake 1 and 2 to lead the burgeoning field of online multiplayer gun shooting. It arrived with new and uniquely cool ideas, not least the cycle of earning cash at the end of each round and spending it on weapons and equipment at the start of the next. And it made huge waves in pro gaming. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, out now on Xbox Live Arcade, is only the latest in a series of iterations on that Counter-Strike formula. A long line of updates, revisions, community mods and even the odd boxed game. The no perks, no unlocks, no regenerating health, no instant respawns and no iron sights and there is friendly fire, in some modes. In short, it’s a pure bracing shot of something different and demanding in a crowd of me too FPS multiplayer and that’s why it’s our game of the week.
 (Jane)
Who’s that guy?
 (Mike)
That’s a terrorist.
 (Jane)
And who’s that guy?
 (Mike)
That’s a counter terrorist.
 (Jane)
Right. And how do they fit into Aperture Science and Black Mesa?
 (Mike)
They don’t. So now that… [interrupted]
 (Jane)
Okay, erm, but what does it say on that wall there? That one. Is that a newspaper article?
 (Mike)
No.
 (Jane)
Aw.
 (Mike)
So, now you’re excited about CS: GO, here’s how to play it.
 (Jane)
That guy’s not talking, maybe he’s Gordon Freemen.
 (Andy)
It’s possible to do well at Call of Duty and Battlefield by playing like this. Play like this in Counter-Strike: Global offensive however and you’ll be doing a lot of this. So, if you’re not a long-time fan of Counter-Strike, you’re going to have to adjust your tactics. Luckily, we’re here to help like heroes.
 First up, and most importantly, you run faster with a knife. Not entirely sure why. It’s like the head of Valve is in love with knives or something. Oh, yeah. Right, right. Still this is a core Counter-Strike skill. Bind the knife to something like up on the D pad and switch to it after buying your weapon at the start of the round. With the extra speed, you should be able to reach critical choke points ahead of your enemies until all the new players wise up to it and do likewise. The downside, of course, is that you might also reach these chokepoints ahead of you own team and turn up to a wall of enemies on your own having literally bought a knife to a gun fight. Make sure you can switch to a shooty weapon quickly.
 Next, you’re more accurate if you walk or crouch and you also move silently whereas you may as well be wearing a hat made of claxons if you’re running. Crouch is bound to left trigger by default, the same as iron sights in Call of Duty and you should use it the same sort of way for increasing your accuracy. If you’re the last person left alive on your team, you don’t want to give up your position unless it’s absolutely necessary.
 On Xbox, you can control your horizontal and vertical analogue sensitivity independently in CS: GO. Headshots make a big difference to how quickly your enemies go down, due to that being where their brains are. There isn’t a huge amount of verticality in the maps either. Because of all that, we tend to go for a high horizontal sensitivity with a lower vertical one so that even when we’re spinning around wildly to target someone, panicking and crying, more of our shots will go in the chest to head kill zone.
 If you’re playing on competitive servers, buy Kevlar and the diffuse kit whenever you can. It will keep you alive and save you precious seconds while defusing a bomb if the terrorists manage to plant it. And it’s also totally on trend with this autumn’s military inspired look.
 Short tip this, but it’s as true now as it was on LV426.
 (Corporal Dwayne Hicks)
Remember, short controlled bursts.
 (Andy)
Thanks, Hicks. Sorry about the rubbish way you were killed off at the start of Alien 2.
 Next tip, the Desert Eagle pistol is a monster. If you can afford it, buy it. It’s ridiculously better than all the other pistols and you can have it in additional to your main weapon.
 Next, and this may seem obvious but it bears repeating, learn the maps. Most of the maps in Counter-Strike are pretty well balanced with certain areas that favour sniping, close quarter shoot outs or middle distance machine gunning. If you know the maps, you can predict what a lot of enemy teams are going to do and then plan your strategy accordingly. For example, if you’re playing against a terrorist team on Aztec that favours the bomb site overlooking the swamp, try getting a sniper rifle and hanging out by the big double doors behind it, picking them off as they charge your way. Fun.
 And finally, don’t flash bang your own team for pity’s sake. I said don’t! Argh, I needed those retinas.
 [music plays]
 (Andy)
Is she alright over there?
 (Mike)
Yeah, yeah, she’s just working on a theory that the Zeus X27 taser is actually a piece of sentient designed by GLaDOS to test the terrorists and counter terrorists who she believes are robots sent from Black Mesa to infiltrate Aperture Science and steal her research.
 (Andy)
Probably leave her to it then.
 (Mike)
Yeah. I’ve got the feedback if you want to do that.
 (Andy)
Great plan.
 (Mike)
So, it’s that time where we share the words you’ve been writing at us in comments, on Facebook and on twitter.
 (Andy)
In regard to last week’s Show of the Week, Ben Borthwick write “Mike died and you didn’t use the Channelling the dead pun? Awww.”.
 (Mike)
My bad. Actually, your bad. I was dead.
 (Andy)
You were dead. Good times. Peter meanwhile takes issue with your pronunciation of Boba Fett saying “There are only two Bs in Boba, not three Channel!”. Then he links to this helpful pronunciation guide.
 [Pronunciation guide repeats “Boba Fett” three times]
 (Andy)
Well, what do you have to say for yourself?
 (Mike)
I say that is the last time I pronounce anything from straw was.
 (Andy)
Onto Mark of the Ninja now, of which we posted a preview earlier in the week and which comes out today if you’re watching on Friday September the 7th or in the past if you’re watching any day after Friday September the 7th.
 (Mike)
Sam Williamson commented “This is looking really cool, like 2D Tenchu with a draw distance. After something of a dry spell it’s a good time to be a stealth fan, with this, Dishonored and Hitman: Absolution out in the next few months.”.
 (Andy)
And in response to the OutsideXbox survey on the plural of ninja, Richard Cadman responds “Ninji obviously”.
 (Mike)
Totally incorrect.
 (Andy)
Finally, the user known only as TheMansuraj asks “Any chance of an OutsideXbox podcast?”.
 (Mike)
To which the answer is yes there is every chance of an OutsideXbox podcast! It’s right at the top of our to-do list and when we do get round to do it, we’ll let you know right here.
 (Andy)
That’s all for this week guys. Thanks for watching, don’t forget to hit like and subscribe on YouTube. We’ll see you next week. Did you figure out the story then?
 (Jane)
Yeah, yeah I did. It’s amazing, it would blow your mind if you knew.
 (Andy)
It’s not something stupid like this is all one of Cave Johnson’s tests or something, is it?
 (Jane)
Uh no.
 (Andy)
Wanna play some DOTA 2?
 (Jane)
What now?
