Bob i picked you for this topic and you'll understand why.

I have been playing CS:Source for 6 months now and I forgot how hard it was at first. The constant frustration, endless deaths, etc etc.

Recently, I bought battlefield Vietnam and then downloaded point of existance. ( like 19.99?) Man this game is hard. CS is bad enough when you get deagled at first, but to never see where a shot came from at all is pathetic. Im sticking with it though. Phenix started this same time I did, so at least Im going through the rigors with someone I know. Anyhow Bob, I watched you finish office the other night with 3 people left on the map. I know you got the "inkling feeling".

Tonight I:

-succesfully parachuted out of a chopper ( press E, then 9 to open chute)
-Wiped a spawn of 6 enemy with a few gernades and an AK-74
-drank a lot of whiskey
-swapped on and off crashing Migs with phenix, like 50 at the runway ( buy a damn joystick were retarded)
-met Knotwobadd and Drayu (cool =HR= guys)
-got my ass owned repeatdly like an "Oz prison extra"


Anyhow, Im posting this here because of 2 things.

1) knotwobadd and drayu are pretty damn sure, and I tend to agree with them on this point, that a vast majority of the War is hell gaming community is going to swap from Counterstrike to battlefield 2 when this game comes out. Or at least give it = gaming time.

2) You all are gonna suck as bad as I do when you start. And I think the learning curve is quite a few bars higher for this game then CS.

So my point is, I learned something from Atomic Bob. He gets shot a lot but gets better and better slowly. If anyone has a patience for a game like Point of Existence, its Bob. And I hope to see you there someday Bob. We can argue over radio stations in a tank while we get blown up by someone we never saw.

P.S. --if anyone deserves to wear the LiT tag on counterstrike "spirit" alone..its you BoB.

Damn. I don't know what I'm doing with my lazy ass. I've had BF: Vietnam for ages, yet I never downloaded POE to play on this server yet. Guess I should. I <3 getting owned.

EXCELLENT! *Shreds guitar*

Can you still do stuff like the things in NB's Owned video? This is from the good old days of bf1942 before they got rid of soldierffratio and vehicleffratio

I don't know if there was supposed to video hooked to that, but the song kicks butt!

And I'm not much of a headbanger any more.

:thumbsup:

And thanks Jeff.

I just really hate it when I try something, like it, and can't raise my level of game play to that of everyone else. I guess it's just my nature to try and overcome challenges. CS is definately challenging. Especially the guys that play here at WIH. Granted, I'm an old geezer with ever slowing reflexes and a memory that is pathetically weak at remembering little things (like my name), generally soaking in suds while playing, but the stuff I see you guys do freakin amazes me. Something keeps sucking me back into the maps to try and do that stuff too. I'm in a win win situation. If I die at the hands of some tree climbing, head snipin, nade tossin whippersnapper that can run through the maps with his eyes closed, I have nothing to be ashamed of. I'm having fun. Things are how they should be and all is right with the world.

BUT.....if I get one you heroes in my sites and fill ya full of lead? Oh yeah babe. That is one sweet feeling. Booyah.

:yaya:

You mean you just see a black screen and hear the music? You need the right codecs then =\ I have so many codecs, I cant keep track of them all. http://www.divx.com/divx/download/ is a good one to start with.

Dude, that's a cool flix. I dug the guys standing on the B17 and jumping off. How does the jeep get so high in the air?
