Well, 96 years . . .

Off-Roading on Wake

2007-08-04T19:20:00.000-07:00

So everyone eventually left on a Wake server, so I went off-roading to the tip of the eastern arm:

I tried to turn around on the beach and head back, but I backed a little too far into the water:

Genius developers made it so that once the engine exhaust outlet is fully submerged, the engine sound works (even afterburner), but there is no thrust movement at all. I had to abandon her here:

Is this possible?

How can the US win the game when we controlled all the flags???

Did Good for Once

2007-08-04T19:15:00.000-07:00

Although our team lost, I did pretty good on this n00b server (look at the ranks lol), this is probably only the 3rd or 4th time I've ever lead my team in points at the end of a game. We lost all our spawn points at this stage and seconds later the round ended.

My First Ever Vote to Kick

2007-08-04T19:11:00.000-07:00

I've never been vote kicked as commander, usually do pretty well, but I was just a plain medic on a squad on some n00b 24/7 Wake server and people were vote kicking random people almost non-stop. I didn't think it was possible to vote kick unless you were commander, but what do I know. My first vote kick ever! yay

id|Euro Ping Is Irrelevant

Ed, here's a small compilation of hundreds more game-end screenies - look at my pings on the euro server, it is no obstacle whatsoever to a very playable game. I never understood why so many north americans cry and refuse to play on the euro servers, they're just afraid they can't own.

Life's Little Miracles

2007-07-28T19:49:00.001-07:00

The story is the hilight, as the screenshot doesn't say much. So I'm playing foreigners side on Dalian Plant, about halfway through the round. The server is nearly full, the US is putting on a really good fight.

So I'm in our main UCB spawn, grab a jeep and head out. There's a major firefight going on at Main Entrance (at the exit from our base's main road). There's a US vehicle fighting it out with a couple of our infantry, it was a bit of a fracas right out in the open. I didn't stop there as I was pressing on to help out at the maintenance buildings.

Then I see "driving" slowly, slowly as almost running speed, on the road is one of our J10's. I don't know if he drove all the way from our airbase or landed there, but he drove right by the action and none of the US vehicles even took a potshot at him, he was in full view. I took this screenie after he drove by them and I pulled up:

Unfortunately I wasn't in a position to get the screenie with the firefight going on behind him but it was really bizarre.

pilot of J10 [killed] by plushsnuffie

2007-07-26T12:01:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure why the [killed] thing doesn't always register the weapon. But another Dalian Plant story, I joined US on the carrier and we were getting massacred, at this point it was 274 - 88. We had no land flags, and we were outnumbered by about 16 - 12 players. The enemy helos had ours pinned down, they had their J10s flying around picking off our F35s as they took off.

After a bunch of desperate runs to the coast, it was clear we had no chance, so I thought I'd try picking someone off with a sniper rifle. This J10 came in for a run, and when he got to about the halfway point between the shore and the carrier, I fired, and killed the SOB. haha!

y.a.wtf possible explanation?

2007-07-26T11:51:00.000-07:00

So a couple of days ago I posted a WTF? screenshot, where a guy was driving towards me in a jeep, alone, about 200 yards away when suddenly, somehow he killed me. The on-screen text showed Monkey_Hit_Man [killed] RA|Plushsnuffie, but no weapon description was there. I was watching him the whole time, and he never fired a weapon. One explanation was that perhaps he'd laid a mine and I ran over it. I doubt it as it was in an out-of-the way position, but I suppose its possible.

So last night I'm on Dalian Plant again, as the rebels/chinese or whoever they are, and I scored a kill on a guy from over-the-horizon using a stationary SA missile, and the on-screen display showed it as [killed].

So that might be a possibility, that I was knocked out by a rocket/shell fired from out of visual range, but who knows.

Storm the House game

Note: Make sure you make a screenshot before clicking "Done", otherwise if your house is stormed, the game ends and it doesn't tell you a game-end summary of your score!
