dog6880 Posted January 8, 2001 Share Posted January 8, 2001 ok, am i the only one or does this game intrude on your dreams? i think i have problems. in the past when i played a game too much i could close my eyes and see it. but with this game i keep dreaming of the last battle i had and what i did wrong, or it will turn almost into a nightmare and i dream that the enemy force turned out to be bigger. but last night i dreamt that masses of three man squads were running through the woods at a fox hole that i myself was in with two other men. the freaky part is that there were dozens of yellow lines coming from out of the woods toward me. am i the only one that experiences this? is it normal?

Look on the bright side, treat it as a rehersal and write down all the lessons learned when you wake. All that extra time spent on rehersing tactics is bound to have a benefit.

Polar Posted January 8, 2001 Share Posted January 8, 2001 It's worse than that for me... I drive to work and keep sizing up the terrain arround Rte. 66 outside of Washington D.C. for hull-downs and field of fire. Is it worse to have it seep into your dreams? Or into you thought processes? Joe ------------------ "I had no shoes and I cried, then I met a man who had no socks." - Fred Mertz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted January 8, 2001 Share Posted January 8, 2001 I find I am constantly looking at terrain and trying to determine how I would model it in CM. Thats espically sad when your looking out the window at Hooters. There are better things to think about there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Warphead- Posted January 8, 2001 Share Posted January 8, 2001 I had a dream involving my girl and me. We were in free nature, the sun was shining. And just when it started to get close and personal I noted that the terrain was much too bright. It needed to be subdued. And somebody had to exchange this gras-tiles... CM is not only ruining my sex-life in reality I can not even dream about sex!

Hiram Sedai Posted January 8, 2001 Share Posted January 8, 2001 I had a dream with my evil ex-wife in a King Tiger. I looked down to see my puny 37 MM sticking out and I realized I was in the hatch of a Stuart. I woke with some internal flaking. ------------------ Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction. - Blaise Pascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Canuck Posted January 8, 2001 Share Posted January 8, 2001 Well, now when I get out of school and finish university, I'm thinking of joining the Canadian Armed Forces and go through the ROTP program. I didn't really think about that seriously before CM, now, I'm almost positive that that is what I want to do as my profession. Actually, after my mandatory yeas in service, I wanted to get a military job at D-NET in Ottawa(Department of National Defense). So here I come! Thank you BTS, THANK YOU CM!

In fact, it is easy to spot the potential AT ambushes, because there is usually a state trooper there picking off speeders.

dog6880 Posted January 9, 2001 Author Share Posted January 9, 2001 woa!! i think i got it worse then i thought. i thought sizeing up terrain for hull downs and feilds of fire was a normal thing to do. and as for sex life.. well i think of CM during it sometimes. i dont think that is healthy....

dima Posted January 9, 2001 Share Posted January 9, 2001 I have been playing CM for four month now. And these dreams are still every night if I played CM that evening. Every single night No other game has done it for me before ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinCheng+ Posted January 9, 2001 Share Posted January 9, 2001 Whenever I have walks in the hills, I always wonder the solders climbing the steep slopes with such heavy gears and not resorting to lanes and roads. BTW, I come across at least once the remains of MG pillbox used during WW2. Griffin. ------------------ "When you find your PBEM opportents too hard to beat, there is always the AI."

420 Posted January 9, 2001 Share Posted January 9, 2001 Griffin, Ever visit any of the costal defense sites here in HK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinCheng+ Posted January 9, 2001 Share Posted January 9, 2001 420, Not yet. One of the MG pillbox was near Lion Rock trail. Of course there was a number of bunkers in Fortess Hill. I remember I saw one other near Star Ferry when I was small, but it was removed now. I had a book which contains detailed maps, guides and photos on the remains of WW2 sites in Hong Kong. It is in one of the boxes home so I am sorry I cannot get it for you right now. I bought it in the Book Expo in 1999. If you read the paper, there is a small coastal defense museum in Shaukeiwan, but I have yet to visit it. It sounds attrative. 6800, CM affects my daily life very much just like many other good games I played. There has been mnay funny threads here about "Signs that you have played CM too much" back from the days of Beta Demo. I don't drive so I have yet to get "hull down" nor I am mounting a HMG, LAW or ATGM on top of my car. (That's Dogbert way) Your sympthom by far is light which indicates you have not played CM long enough Don't worry, you will be alright and CM wont' harm you Enjoy!!!

The Commissar Posted January 9, 2001 Share Posted January 9, 2001 Ugh, I cannot believe you people haven't figured it out yet. These dreams and overall "invasion of the thought proccess" is just that: the first noticable steps to what will very soon develop into full-blown mind control.
