Alright, so today I was driving home from class in the fast lane, going like 70 or something. This dude in a big beige gass-hog comes roaring up behind me and tailgates me for like, 5 miles straight.

So I'm like, hell no.

I change lanes, get right beside him, and just stare at him for a bit. He starts getting pissed, then I just point at him, then point at the road ahead, kind of mouth 'Lets go' to him.

He floors it. Hits 85 easy. I take my foot off the gas and hit 65, and stay there. Why, you ask?

Because every single day, there's a cop waiting at that precise spot. Said cop pulls out and pulls over Mr. "I have a huge truck and I like to ride people's bumpers with it." I wave to the guy on my way past him at a merry 65.

I'd call that a win.

Ok, yeah, 24 grenades at weapons 2. Weapons 3 only drops it to 22, and Weapons 1 takes it up to 26. 28, base.

3 marines, 2 clips = gg hive. HMGs are there to provide support, note that I did not include them in the damage calculation.

Furthermore, 2 shotguns and 2 GLs will rip through a hive in less that 10 seconds. The splash damage will also kill gorges, chambers, and make things all kind of hell for the aliens.

Anyone tried rushing AA, getting 4 GLs and 2 HMGs on the hive?

4gls = 16 'nades in 1.5 seconds... 800/ per? Plus weapons, say, 2? 15360 damage in 1.5 seconds.

Not half bad. Even if it's only 400/per, that's still 7680... leaving a meager 320 HP.

Welcome to the age of combined arms, gentlemen.

I didn't get that far into it. Its just totally annoying.

For reference, I enjoy MGS and Hitman, so its not like I can't cope with stealth shooters.

If you haven't played Thief and Theif II, you don't deserve to call yourself a stealth fan.

If you ARE going to get one, shell out some extra money and get a silver, gold, or platinum plated stud, not just a steel one. Those metals are more innert than some of the others you would normally get, and are probably a little safer for you.

But I'd still advise checking with a doctor first. And letting Mr. Duck know in advance wouldn't hurt either .

I wouldn't do it, simply because whenever you talk to someone it's going to hit your teeth so much it's going to sound like a flipping riverdance going on behind you.

If you really want to have some metal jammed through your flesh, take up fencing and don't wear any equipment.

Happy Easter everyone!

This may not mean a whole lot to the majority of you, but it's a big deal for a few of us on here. Regardless, enjoy the time with your families.

Praise Him and His glory.

Each alien has their own resources. The resources you get from kills will go directly to you, where the resources gathered from RTs will be spread out to the whole team.

I think our game last night was a total illustration of that. You did enough fading to rape 5 marine teams in the last version, but in this one the marines played hard and stayed tight. On that rush on cargo, there was only one straggler who phased by mistake, then phased back to help the rush.

In a half- hour game like that, everyone feels a lot of fatigue (esp. the comm, I should know.. ) and it's the team that plays tight and communicates that will come out on top. One player won't do it anymore, the whole team has to be of higher skill.

Also, props to both teams on that game last night. It was the most frustrating commanding I've ever done thanks to the aliens, and simultaneously the most rewarding thanks to the marines.

If anyone wants it, I'll write up an account of what happened.

LM-Map 2.0!!![/size]


Old Version, for lazy people without Google Earth.


The link above is a file called "Lunixmonster-00.KMZ," It's a list of everyone that you can load up in Google Earth and be all interactive and stuff.

It also takes 100% of the work off of me. If you want to add yourself to the map, follow the following directions:
YOU DO NOT NEED TO ADD YOURSELF IF YOU ARE ON THE OLD MAP, IF YOU WERE ON THE OLD MAP, OR IF YOU POSTED IN THE THREAD BEFORE. PLEASE CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE NOT DOUBLE ADDING YOURSELF. 2_OF_8, THIS MEANS YOU!
1) Download the latest lunixmonster.kmz. (From the latest post)
2) Open it in Google Earth.
3) Search for your home address or home town in the search box on the top left.
4) Right click the search entry right below the search box and hit "Edit"
5) Rename this entry to your name. Hit "OK," then drag it down into the "Lunixmonster folder.
6) Right-click the lunixmonster folder, and choose Save As, Save it as Lunixmonster-##.kmz. (WHERE ## EQUALS THE NUMBER BEFORE YOU PLUS ONE!)
7) Upload that file.

This way, my file lunixmonster-00.kmz gets added to, and gets saved as lunixmonster-01.kmz, and so on. This way, it stays current.

« on: March 14, 2005, 11:30:46 PM »

Incredible response to that situation Rad, Acts 16 for sure. Being able to draw near to God in times of hardship is an amazing thing, He's been teaching me to do it more and more lately, and it's been really uplifting to see what He's been doing because of it.

I'll praise him tonight in my prayers for those 18, that's the best part about it.

So now that you're out of jail, maybe you can get back in the chair some more ?

Well, I think the strat to work out then is a phase rush, with GL/HMGs on the second hive at 5:30. You might have to eat the second hive for a minute or so, but you'll have awesome map control with the early phase gates.

I'll tell you a funny story. Marines had nearly every node on the map, were doing well, and only lost because they tried a siege attack on a hive.




Another funny story, aliens only seem to lose games where they go SC first and act like retards, allowing the marines to get to at least one hive and/or electrify nodes. GG.

[snapback]42960[/snapback]

Was that the game I commed on metal?

Yeah, that was effing redicuous. The aliens had 4 gorges healing the hive, and since there was no splash damage they didn't die. I built 4 siege guns, had a GL on the hive, they just healed each other too fast. Eventually someone got behind us and bilebombed us out.

Siege damage needs to go back in and hitboxes need to be fixed. After that, we'll talk.

70 res for a siege base = 35 medpacks, or 16 meds and 12 catpacks. Mmmm, catpacks...

That's 2 meds a marine, and 1.5 catpacks a marine too. Ownination, I'll try this out now.
