The story of a NOOOB
So while I rarely take lunch at the office preferring to stay in and accomplish somthing today I took off and to Comp USA I go, They had yon Saitek joystick that through my research had been deemed 'acceptable' and inquired politely if they had one as I could not see any boxes. Sadly no I was informed. Undaunted off to Best Buy where I was informed that, no they did not have any of them. Disappointed and frustrated now I visited Office Depot on my way back to work and, yes you guessed it, LOGITECS out the wazoo but no Saitek.
Depressed, angry at life, and resigning myself to yet another night of reading about battles lost and won and being envious of those of you who actually can fly I went back to work.
On the way home my beloved she devil called and asked if I could pick up snacks for the t-ball team. 'Yes' I said and headed for yon Wal of Mart. As I walked in I realized that Wallie World might, just on the stroke of luck, have a suitable joystick in the 'Barry's going to throw away some cash to see if this game can addict him' range.
LO AND BEHOLD the lord did grin and the people did feast on the.. well never mind that.. I found a Saitek joystick. Not the one I wanted but at this point I'll take what I can get considering it was 20 bucks and I spend that on beer in a day on weekends. (note to self: stop drinking so much damn beer)
Suffice to say I have managed to kill myself on 3 takeoffs (ya ya Im too stubborn to let the computer do it for me), run out of ammo EVERY time, and LANDING? buahahahahahahahaha... I'd be better suited to bail out and grab a new plane.. but there's that 'stubborn' thing aforementioned.
I did kill two drones though
I'll be practicing for a bit longer then EVERYBODY can paint
<---------- that on my back for a while..
Eventually I'll get one or six of you
Now I have to figure out how to map the throttle on the joystick because the keyboard just ANNOYS me
.
Gentlemen, ladies, and everyone else, I think I'm hooked...
