This is from yesterday's news. http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/19/health/exploding-vaporizer-rip-tongue-trnd/ And a bonus clip:

Oh nice man, I didn't know you started streaming. Good job man, the dancing is a little weird though....haha

You killed Gary Johnson man. Illuminati conspiracy orchestrated by the shadow masters that run this planet from their secret underground bunkers in Geneva wanted the one libertarian candidate gone cause he was going to expose their chemtrails and plans to outlaw bitcoin and flood the water with murder pillz. I knows u alls think is a joke but well sea woo laffin wen duh gubbermant comes fer yer wife and forces you into slave laber at a FEEMA camp. This right her is symbology fer what's comin'. U beein exposed reptilian trash. Th e pueople gon rise up and throw all you free mason, skullz n bonez mofuckers out of office. Ron Paul 2012. Sorry, I'm bored.

Pretty sure you were supposed to sing it to this tune. We're going to need a revised version. And put some feeling into it.

Message an admin or go on TS. It's a really simple fix, just need to manually link the account and you'll be all set.

Sometimes this happens, it can be a very frustrating issue to deal with. Here are some things to try in the order I would recommend trying them. Sadly this issue can be caused by a number of things, so start with the less drastic stuff and work your way up if need be. 1) Go back to lobby and switch spots repeatedly. Sometimes it will take a good number of tries. 2) Join a different Asylum server, sync data, play for a little bit then switch to the server you originally wanted to play. 3) If you get the same error on a different Asylum server, try a different arma server. Play for a few minutes, try asylum again. 4) If you still get the error when trying to log in, verify Game Cache as Sean recommended. 5) If that doesn't help, delete the mission file for Asylum (Documents>Arma3>Saved>mpMissions) 6) If you still can't get in after deleting and redownloading mission file, delete your DLL's and try again without verifying game cache. 7) If none of that works, reinstall Arma 3

I kind of miss night time, but I really miss dawn and dusk. The oppressive monotony of constant, high noon sun, partly cloudy and a little haze really gets old. I really miss the variety. Wish there was a way to have extended periods of dawn and dusk with a seriously shortened night cycle. Also more weather variety.

I think shark attack would be the worst way to go. Many species of shark attack their prey from below. So for me the thought of getting wrecked by an angry sea-beast from below while surfing is pretty much the worst. Getting chomped, then violently thrashed and dragged down until you bleed to death just seems like the absolute worst way to go. Thankful you're more likely to get taken out by a vending machine than a shark. Other shitty ways to go: Cancer Burning alive Starvation

Watched for 30 seconds, heard jokes about murdered children, lost faith in humanity. Pretty much par for the course on Asylum's TS lol.

Has the map update improved the performance issues?

What is it that you're making here?

I feel your pain man. Everyone has that one friend that just can't be trusted to fly the heli.

Adobe Media Encoder is far and away the best option. Very intuitive, offers a great deal of control, or quick presets for things like youtube etc. Highly recommend it.

Context please. I was going to mock, but I'll reserve judgement. Why did you do that?

Bummed I missed it. I'd imagine it was pretty entertaining. When is the next podcast?

The GIF at 0:23 always gets me. Too good. I miss old Asylum.

Vape Naysh Y'all

Nah man, it will be fine. Comp will take as long as it always has, maybe even a little shorter in a few weeks since they're taking on new admins. Yeah every server does things a little differently in terms of what they're willing to comp for and how they go about fulfilling them. Due to the shear volume of requests asylum receives, and some pretty severe issues with dishonest or highly exaggerated requests in the past, our comp process now takes longer than some other communities. But at least you know that each incident is being thoroughly looked into and you'll get what you're due every time. Though it would be nice if the fulfillment process could be streamlined in such a way that the player didn't have to wait in teamspeak.

I may be giving you too much credit here, but you were replying to Sheriff Rick Grimes so I'm just going to hope that you were referencing this. If so +1,000,000

I agree. Initially when it was decided that the modded server would be on the Australia map, I was pretty disappointed. I remember thinking to myself, isn't that the one where half of the map is just a bunch of sand dunes? But as we did more and more testing I got increasingly excited about it and ended up feeling like it was a good choice. I was still bummed that we went with a map so aesthetically similar to altis rather than something really new and different. But once the server launched I started feeling like the map was too big for the player count and all of the sudden a number of severe performance issues started to appear. I think it's a great map, with a ton of awesome roleplay-oriented features that made it really promising, however it just isn't well suited for Asylum. Life mods live and die on the level of player interaction they provide and sadly Australia just doesn't allow for very much. And I feel like a different map could offer more inspiration for roleplay. Something like Takistan or even Cherno, could offer a lot of fun roleplay opportunities and themed gangs. Additionally they both look quite nice and are absolutely amazing in terms of performance. But Alas, Tanoa will soon be upon us and hopefully we'll all be cruising around on jetskis. I'm not sure if Paratus is planning on a Tanoa server but I really hope so.

Thanks for the kind words man. I've always enjoyed dealing with you Kuklinski and you've always been a reasonable and chill guy to me. Going all the way back to that first time I caught you at the methlab when I was a senior constable. Good times.

I can't speak for everyone else's reasoning, but I left because I've been very busy and I didn't want to hold the position and not be able to contribute very much. Have there been some taxing circumstances or systemic issues I wished had been different? Of course, but that doesn't mean there is some nefarious conspiracy out there forcing people to leave. A lot of times change begets change. You see a couple of your friends move on, your passion for the gameplay wanes, you start feeling the weight of the negativity and abuse that surrounds you, and eventually you ask yourself if you're still the right guy for the job. Do you still have the enthusiasm to tolerate the bullshit and do everything in your power to actively improve the community? Can you still endure the stress of going against the crowd to do the right thing even when it's unpopular? Can you still be patient with the people who lie to you in ban appeals because they're afraid of punishment when really you just want to correct their behavior and move on? and lastly can you bring a little positivity or joy to members of the community? If you ask yourself those questions long enough eventually the answer for at least one of them is going to be no and then it's time to move on. If you stop asking yourself those questions entirely, you've lost track of what it means to be an admin. So for me I just didn't have enough free time so I was much more inactive than I would like, combine that with a lot of complex behind the scenes factors and the generally burdensome nature of the position and it was just time to move on and make way for someone else. I realize that this is probably a lot more nebulous than the answer you wanted, but I think it's important that people understand these things aren't always born out of anger or disaffection. Sometimes people just need to go. Also Bada invited me on a really creepy sounding camping trip, so I peaced the fuck out ASAP. Anyway, that's why I left. I'm sure everyone has their own unique reasons but everyone went out on good terms.

Correct. So no need for anyone to start with the conspiracy theories. Anyway thank you for the kind words everyone. Also, @JacobHarr you should feel super special since you were my last ever comp haha. I was literally writing my stepping down message while fulfilling your comp haha.
