Little Pete Posted January 22, 2004 Author Share Posted January 22, 2004 Well i didnt expect to kick off a 70+ post topic but obviously I found a contentious point (and dont we all love to have a good argue ). Well im now a member it seems, when do you go from junior to normal then to senior?

gunnergoz Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 It may be just a "game" but you haven't savored it until you try this: Don a WW2 tanker's helmet and some greasy coveralls. Don't bother shaving or showering for a few days. Turn the lights down low throughout the room. If you have a stereo, put on some Wagner real loud (you know the tune already, don't you?) Burn some canvas, wood, metal shavings and animal hair (unless your own is conveniently falling out) in an ashtray by the computer. Let the aroma waft around the now-smoky room. Go without eating for a couple of days, then eat a half pound of jerky and crackers real fast. Wash it down with water from your dog's bowl. Stay up a couple of nights. Turn off the phone and TV. Tell your significant other you have a communicable disease, assuming you don't already have one. Insert CM disk and pick a scenario. Havablast. Be sure to scream, whimper and curse a lot. Don't answer the doorbell because they'll just take you away anyhow. When you're done with the scenario or totally fried, walk outside and mill around a mall, experiencing what it must have been like for returning veterans. Avoid cops and people with big nets. Come back here and tell us about it! What are you waiting for? Put on that helmet and get going, soldier! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the coarse language, but wtf is this? http://www.jed.simonides.org/tanks/tango/tsar_series/tsar-series.html Can we have it in too ?-) (edit) oww. Somebody made a model out of it too... http://www-cse.uta.edu/~reyes/images/IPMS/2000_Nationals/05_russian_spoked_tank_monstrosity.JPG [ January 23, 2004, 04:52 PM: Message edited by: Hawtin ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Hunter Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Wow! That looks more like the russians attempt in WWI to catch up in the tank race. looks like a cannon on weels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pete Posted January 24, 2004 Author Share Posted January 24, 2004 Now wouldn't you love that to be modelled in CM Hmmm I can imagine we might see a little bit more 'track' damage to that particualr unit as well. Do you think they could fit 3 men in the side turrets, you wouldn't get three of that guy in there.So either he is a giant or the tank was crewed by midgets...........with waffles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, "3-D tactical combat simulations" are to games as "action figures" are to "dolls." Subsets.

Little Pete Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 This is reminding me of the South Park episode about Vietnam.
