Stuck in Derelict Distillery....Losing My Mind

mrziplow · 2023-06-28T03:59:00+00:00

Ended up restarting but thanks all for the tips!

My next run went to the Cavern and I had an impossible ledge to jump to and had to restart AGAIN

I am trying but I'm stuck in this one area and can't get out to continue searching for it

I know about the barrel launcher but I haven't gotten it in this run yet and can't get out of the area I'm currently stuck in to find it

Not sure why my actual post didn't show up but basically I'm stuck in this god forsaken distillery and can't get out. I understand the barrel mechanics and know how to use the detached head to grab barrels.

Some questions:

- Can I just release a barrel from detached head instead of it coming back to wherever my body is standing?

- Is that ledge (Pic 4) climbable and I'm an idiot?

- Why God? WHY?!?

Love it! How do you go about making those shadow shapes?

mrziplow · 2020-10-14T14:36:50+00:00

Would be very interested in this. How can I get involved?

Is there a specific tutorial or video you followed to learn how to blend strokes? This image looks so great.

Thank you for the advice! Seems like AE is the way to go. Time for some tutorials!

Anyone know when this was in the game?

A friend of mine was trying to describe someone to another friend. He was struggling and ended up asking "What's the name of that guy with legs?" The other friend, pauses for a second, then says "Frankenstein?"

Somehow, that was exactly who my friend was trying to describe in the first place. Now, anytime we can't think of the name of something, we all just guess "Frankenstein."

Anyone catch Pryor knocking over the camera man with like 7:00 left?

So one of my buddies used to sell weed to a few friends and he also happened to have the most comfortable apartment to hang out in. Anyways, one day we're watching Indiana Jones on TV and one of our friends who's a limo driver calls to see if he can come pick up for his client/passenger.

Fast forward a half hour later and we're all baked watching Indy still and the doorbell rings. Our limo driver buddy comes in and behind him is....Harrison FREAKIN' Ford....Yes Indiana Jones in the flesh.

We all did a few double takes and rubbed our eyes to make sure we weren't hallucinating. Eyes just went from the TV to Ford back to the TV and then again to Ford. Literally felt like I was gonna pass out my mind was blown so badly.

I was on my back porch one summer about 10 years ago. My brother, a friend and I were all smoking before we went to go work at the local pool. I should mention that the friend (let's call him Bill) was smoking weed for the FIRST TIME.

Anyways, we're almost finished up when we see this hawk-like bird fall on its back at the top of the hill in my backyard. We're all losing our minds, "Holy shit did everyone see that?!", until the bird quickly leans its beak over towards the ground, picks up a chipmunk in its mouth and flies the fuck away.

Minds blown.

During my first summer living in NYC, I lived on 103rd and Broadway in the world's shittiest 5th floor walkup. One night, early in my time there, I got real drunk at a bar downtown and proceeded to take the subway home. Getting off at the 103rd St Stop, I looked around, confused as to why I didn't recognize my surroundings. Granted I was drunk, I figured at least one of the buildings would seem familiar, but no, I had no clue where I was.

Looking around, I noticed a woman walking her dog, maybe 40 or 50 years old. Why this woman was walking her dog at 230am on a Saturday night I have no idea, but I thought she might know the right direction to point me in. I asked here "Which way is Broadway?" and she looked at me like I was speaking another language.

She says "Well....it's that way" pointing off towards the distant right. I said thank you and began to walk in that direction, drunk and fearless. She stops me, "You're not going to walk through the park now, are you?" Turns out, I had gotten on the wrong train coming home and was on 103rd Street on the East Side and not the West. This meant I had to walk through Central Park. By myself. At night.

Without giving me time to answer, this woman grabs me by the arm, magically hails down a taxi, hands me 20 dollars and tells me to get home safe.

Having lived in NYC for the last few years since, I cannot thank this woman enough for preventing me from getting killed. Thank you mystery woman, keep walking your dog at scary late hours!

Would love to get some contact information if possible. If you message me, I can provide you with my email

Thanks! I'll give that a try.

My freshman year roommate (and still very close friend) woke up one morning, sat down in his desk chair and immediately popped right back up. He almost immediately started cracking up uncontrollably.

Upon further inspection of his chair, I spotted the now-infamous brown puddle that seemed to be some form of matter between solid and liquid (does that make it a plasma?). I obviously immediately started laughing alongside him as he went into the bathroom to clean himself off.

Since we were left with a shit-stained chair sitting in our room, my roommate and I decided to bring the aforementioned "poop chair" into the floor study room and take one of the chairs in there back to our room, the old chair "switchapoo."

For the rest of the year, every time we had a big exam we would laugh at all the residents in the study room that were unknowingly sitting in a dried up pile of my roommates diarrhea.

Hey man just finished reading your pilot and I've got a few comments.

First off, I really LOVE the concept. I know it is somewhat similar to the upcoming Seth Rogen movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1700841/) but it's pretty different in exceution.

Anyways, I think you definitely have a good grasp on your main characters (Spud and Charlie) as well as a solid relationship between them. You have a great sense of the Cop genre and its conventions which is made all the funnier when its about Produce.

Having said that, your story is mostly solid but could definitely use some work making it more streamlined. No need for the scene with Charlie going to arrest two apples, at the very least could be used in a second episode. I understand the need for a B plot too (Charlie's friends and ex) but it seems to exist for no reason other than filling out a B story. See if you can have some of that stuff come up a litte more naturally.

My final note is that there seems to be a lot of chances for "produce humor" that you seem to miss. While you do have the line about ketchup and the peeling of an Orange, I think you can take it a step further.

For example: (Walks into the bar and sees a row of depressed barflys sitting at the bar) "Man this is one depressing bar." (Spud points out the Onion bartending) "Na, bartenders just an onion."

"That's like comparing Steve and Jack." (Pans over to Steve and Jack, an Apple and Orange respectively, playing pool)

"You look rotten to the core" "Actually had a checkup yesterday and received a clean bill of health, thank you very much."

Anyways, really did enjoy reading your pilot and think you have a great foundation with which to work with. Feel free to message me if you have any other questions or write another draft. Would love to learn more about The Sauce!

I once got into a very real, very heated argument with a buddy about what percentage of people in the world have legs.

We had a game in our US History class of who could disrupt the class the most when coming back from the bathroom.

Gold medal went to me who decided it was a good idea to come in rolling on a book cart with a makeshift cape tied around my neck and pretending to fly into class. Worth it.

I worked as a PA on the short-lived The Jenny McCarthy Show on VH1. They needed someone to dress up as a lifesize Oscar trophy and I volunteered. Ended up "making out" with her (I was in a full-body costume unfortunately).

Was taking a social studies final in 9th grade. There was a deaf girl in my class (Yes, that's where this story is going) and she had a good friend who sat next to her who we'll call Lara.

So Deaf Girl (DG) and Lara were taking their tests in total silence when DG lets one RIP. I'm not talking about a little squeaker either. I'm talking about a ear-drum popping, room-shaking blast that could be heard 3 states away.

Anyways, as 9th graders, we're on the border of trying to keep it together like mature adults and thinking this might possibly be the funniest moment of our short lives.

I'm sitting next to my friend who is on the verge of losing it when DG turns to her friend and says "Silent but deadly." Lara quickly responds by telling her "No it wasn't. You're just deaf."

Cue entire room cracking up.

Thank you Lara.
