Juardis Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 I think CM at work, home, and sleep. I downloaded webspace.exe and about 30 CM related JPEGs just so I could set my wallpaper and screen saver to CM screenshots (thanks Madmatt ). I downloaded hypersnap so I could take screenies and get the awesome effects available on my V5 5500 (like FSAA). I'm considering spending 25$ to get the license that gets rid of the hypersnap watermark that is put on each screenie taken with the free version. I'm the head coach of a 7-8 yr old coach pitch baseball team. I pitch to them during games and practice and I'm thinking about trajectories, both incoming and outgoing. Line drives are now 88mm shots out of a 88. Fly balls are 81mm mortar lobs. Plays at bases are now hand to hand combat. My third baseman digging holes means he's entrenching. My baserunning coaches are constantly yelling snell, los, and move, move, move. (I even heard one say "OK, Listen up maggots"). It's horrible I say, horrible. Oh, and I'm kicking Havermeyer's ass in PBEM (jk Havermeyer, we're only on turn 2 of a 20 turn game). Now, gotta get back to Elsdorf. The allies need me bad.....

Wild Bill Wilder Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 Hey Juardis, The bug has bitten you too, I see . Well, you've come to the right place.

Now here is a man with imagination, guys! He'll do well here. We have lots of imagination here Juardis, some paranoia, and a few delusional, but all good guys Welcome to the mayhem of CM followers! ------------------ Wild Bill Lead Tester/Designer Combat Mission-Beyond Overlord billw@matrixgames.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb9sog Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 I love driving my Chevy Caprice down the highway and looking out over the rolling hills and thinking, "I could pound my way through that brush with my rhino, zip through the farmfield, and be in a hull down position facing that tree line in 45 seconds." I went to southeast Ohio 4th of July and all I kept thinking about was that this was not ideal tank terrain. My wife thinks I am nuts. She's right. ------------------ BJ Simpson Visit www.arrl.org for information about Ham Radio.

fmonster Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 Hi Juardis, I too am a CM addict. It has been 20 minutes since my last CM fix! hehe I constantly catch myself thinking combat thoughts. For instance, I live in the northern foothills of Georgia. On my drive to work to Atlanta everyday, I cover 55 miles one-way. During my drive I am always looking for "the high ground" or "ambush points". It's sick, I tell you, sick!!!! Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grunto Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 i was pulling out of a parking spot at the grocery store, and there was a parked car in the spot on my left. i went into reverse (right), and as i was starting to go forward (left), another car 'popped out' on the other side of the one parked next to me... my brain said, 'fire' and i just had to laugh. andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Babra Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 The beauty of PBEM: While on my break at work I put my feet up and visualize my current engagement(s) and next moves. So I think about games too much. It's not like I was ever going to accomplish anything in life anyway... ------------------ It's a mother-beautiful bridge and it's gonna be THERE.

BillWoodAgain Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 I too am an addict. I drive my Caprice up and down HWY 52 in NC, rolling hills and villages, mountains and forests, right click commands for cars and trucks that can't seem to move correctly just using AI, spotting good places to hide an AT gun... I am considering asking the Network Administrator to ban acces to www.battlefront.com so I won't get distracted at work. Cold Turkey is my only hope. Got it this weekend, Scout Camp Weekend.

mensch Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 I cant walk through the park without thinking, hey perfect spot for a ambush, I wonder if I would have line of sight to that hill... bikers are motorized infantry, city worker trucks are tanks moving slowly over the field. Wheres my Arty! I've got 20 Germans comming on my position! (oh wait a tourist group from Korea)....that bridge has to be secured! enemy forces have taken it and holding it strong.. (oh... just a pair of lovers kissing on it) I need sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 Juardis - you might be interested to hear that Hypersnap is now available for free without the watermark. Only thing is you get some advertising while using it...

gaffertape Posted July 13, 2000 Share Posted July 13, 2000 The window behind my computer faces north, away from the city, and strangely enough the view includes rectangular fields and rows of trees just like Normandy. Many is the time that I've pictured tanks crawling along out there. GAFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
