Melloj Posted July 19, 2000 Share Posted July 19, 2000 I got home from work yesterday, after fighting through the normal sh!t load of traffic of the don valley parkway in Toronto. I live in a condo, so i have one of those tiny mail boxes, that must have been designed for someone who gets one letter a day. Anyways I opened it up, and to my pleasure I see a large brown thick envelope wedged inside the mail box on top of some junk mail (ie Bills). "Combat Mission!!!" I yell with euphoria, earning several "another drug addict" looks from the other mail room patrons. I thrust my hand into the mail box, and pull on the envelope. It doesn't budge. My smile slightly falters, and I take a deep breadth, relax, and try again. It stays wedged inside the mailbox. Now Im becomming annoyed. I contemplate just putting all my weight into the next pull, but images of broken CD's race through my head. Ok, I decide i need some tools for this job. I go upstairs grab some scissors and rush back down. I tenderly cut the edges off the envelope with my new found "jaws of life". The tender package is now visible to my sight. I gingerly remove it from its ugly brown cocoon. I press it against my chest, hunch over, and run back to the elevator. By now the other residents have taken out their cell phones, and fingers hover over the 911 pre-program. But then the psycho with the scissors and the euphoric expression on his face disappears into the elevator. Needless to say, no one followed him in. My Mission has begun.

gaffertape Posted July 19, 2000 Share Posted July 19, 2000 Congratulations on the extraction. Believe it or not, I can't bring myself to even throw out the little brown envelope - its still sitting beside my PC. Where in Toronto are you Melloj? Nice to have another local on board.

Ash Posted July 19, 2000 Share Posted July 19, 2000 When I opened the bag and found only a manual i nearly had a heart attack. Good thing the cd was inside the manual or i would have had to use my special key chain. ------------------ The names Ash, Housewares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melloj Posted July 19, 2000 Author Share Posted July 19, 2000 Actually you will see me more probably. You see, there is this horrible place i have to go to each morning and stay there till about 5 pm in the afternoon. This place doesnt allow me to play Combat mission, but it does have access to the Internet, so that I can post here in lieu of playing the game. Of course it isnt the best of trades, but cest la vie, and they give me some money so I guess its not that bad. Also I probably want to try single player first before I start PBEM, because i dont want to embarrass myself right away. But anyways if any of you guys in Toronto, or otherwise have ICQ and want to set up a PBEM sometime in the very near future, i can be found at 8217706 in the afternoon. (my cousin uses it during the day, and she is a 16 year old girl who cant speak english ..stay away!)

Formerly Babra Posted July 22, 2000 Share Posted July 22, 2000 Greetings and congratulations from Etobicoke. You're cleverer than I -- I would have just wept in frustration. Fortunately my mailbox is so miniscule even the mailman had to forgo it and left me a card instead. Happy gaming. ------------------ It's a mother-beautiful bridge and it's gonna be THERE.
