ARCHANGEL Posted May 24, 2000 Share Posted May 24, 2000 Although I am not quite as bad as you lads, I have deleted two other forums and check THIS one WAAAYYYYY toooooo often each day. That doesn't count em between several pals on here... And to think, the FINAL CM isn't even here yet.... I think we need a twelve step program....

Guest Mirage2k Posted May 24, 2000 Share Posted May 24, 2000 Step 9 - Making Amends. Apologize to any CM player or forum poster you may have wronged in the past...this includes, for instance, playing a PBEM against someone who is playing "blind," whereas you have already played the scenario...hehe. -Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shaw Posted May 24, 2000 Share Posted May 24, 2000 Step 2, "take her out and treat her like a lady" ... nope, wrong program. Anyway, I keep coming back to this board just knowing that one day, one day very soon now, there will be a post from some lucky soul saying "I GOT IT!" ... at which point I'll likely have to develop a sudden case of something dreadful and run home Joe ------------------ "The Irish are a fine, mad race ... all their wars are happy ... and all their songs are sad."

Guest Captitalistdoginchina Posted May 24, 2000 Share Posted May 24, 2000 olbloodngutsy, you just made me LOL, oops, i am supposed to be working! I get up, download e-mail, play my turns then rush out late for work, no time for coffee. Get to work, go straight to this forum - Battlenet is my homepage. Spend all day with the forum in the background - rush home, download e-mail while taking a shower, ignore the wife as i gulp down dinner - then spend the rest of the evening playing CM and pbem. It is so tempting to install the gold demo on my work pc,......must..........resist.......no............cm.............during............working hours.

Flix Posted May 24, 2000 Share Posted May 24, 2000 I don't want to break this addiction, my wife wants me to but I don't. I have devised a method of tuning her out while playing CM: Put on the headphones, call in a 105mm fire mission and then run down the map right in the middle of where its coming in. Its so.....beautiful! Flix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted May 24, 2000 Share Posted May 24, 2000 While I too,Am addicted to this game,I admit I will not be able to give up a few other games,Tho their share will certainly be less. Rogue Spear and Commanche Havoc are just too damn good also. And Shogun Just went gold too..*sigh*,Well,Goodbye Rogue Spear!!! ;0 And Archangel,Come Home.

Darstand Posted May 24, 2000 Share Posted May 24, 2000 All I can say is that>>>It is a good thing my work computer does not have the capibility to run CM. But I still spend wayyyyy to much time at Battlefront and CMHQ during "work hours" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelU Posted May 24, 2000 Share Posted May 24, 2000 I check CMHQ every day (see Madmatt, some of us still care), and the forum every couple of hours while at work. This could be thought normal. I mean, what else are you going to do while at work? What has persuaded me that I'm hooked is that I'm getting up early to check my email and play a PBEM turn or two before going to work. Anything that gets me out of bed before I absolutely have to has got to be dangerously addictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tom w Posted May 24, 2000 Share Posted May 24, 2000 I was away (Fishing up north on the French River in Northern Ontatio) for 5 whole days and I had withdrawl symptoms it was horrible, there was no news and no internet and no Combat mission Chat Board BUT we did play on laptops, yes inbetween fishing and drinking there were three hotseat games of VoT or and two more CE scenarios on the hotseat again LIVE opponents.

Don't blame him really... No Offense taken man. I try to get other topics going but to no avail. Fortunately Me and Bullethead seem to have hooked a fair portion of the board on CM so thats a start<G>.. And the general dearth of good flight sim releases doesn't help. At least Wargaming has some glimmer of life with CM and the HPS Offerings etc. Maybe someone will release a great flight sim and breath some life into the forum over there. Maybe Janes Attack Squadron will revitalize the Genre if it actually see's the light of day.. With its built in editors etc. It could be good...
