Ever gotten hurt while fighting?

[MIShill]

Have finally gotten over "Air Warrior Elbow" which comes from resting the joy stick elbow on a hard surface. I built up a callus so thick I had to sand it down. In AH I've become smarter & put a gel mouse pad under the elbow.

Been bitten by cat while flying, reach down to smack teh mother ******, get bit again, jump up, trip over USB cable, fall on my face, hit the cat by accident who proceded to attack me even more, finally give the cat the smack it deserves, look up... My Me-262 has just been shot down

Was on a bombing run with Overlag. Had to leave shortly, decided to take a shower in transit. Had about 3 minutes to shower, get dressed in fancy clothes, get shoes on, and get back to game. Tripped twice, got bit by cat (That one particular cat is a real ***hole) hit head in shower (Shower head is design for short people, its actually mounted so low its at my shoulder height) stubbed two toes, and cut hand. Made it back in time to hit the target and RTB!

cracked my head on the desk trying to grab something I'd knocked off

fallen down during a beer run(running in a darkened apartment after rearranging the furniture is dangerous), but that's about it.

Christ hub.... Atleast we know how you got to be the way your are now

Welp, I did fall out of a chair once when I ducked a headon pass. The only injury was to my pride though.

Glad to know I am not the only person to find themselves ducking when playing AH....

PS I think cats have it in for AH, My daughters decided to climb my leg (Claws extended) whilst I was in a furball...

THe dam thing likes to walk over my keyboard when I play also....

My cat plays CSS. He swipes at planes in AH occasionally but I think they're too small to get his attention.

I fell asleep at the stick one time 3 AM in AW flying over "the pond".  When my head slumped, I dinged my forehead on the point of the hat switch which kind of woke me up quick.  Blinked the blurries out of my eyes to see i was at 28K, and then noticed hearing an engine other than my own.  Looked back to see a 109k4 400 behind and below me trying to pull his nose up.  Somehow I managed to kill the k4 and then went on autopilot to go check out the red dot between my eyebrows.


Also now I dont feel so bad about finding myself leaning around in my chair while using the arrow keys trying to see around the sides of my planes nose

Dude! Your cat is SO cute!

the worst thing that can happen to me playing AH is smoking while climbing out and then being interupted before i can stub it and thinking (which i always do) 'whatever ill finish my smoke and kill you'... nothing makes a tough fight harder than a hotrock in the groin, im just thankfull for the ones that fall out before they burn my lips.

I just finished Chippin my tooth during a fight in the AvA.. and it hurts


I was in a 1v1 fight with Kong and I was eating Cheesenips during the fight...

I was in a 47 him in a k4...at one point we almost collided so I cringed and bit hard on my tongue Ring and CRunCH....  part of my molar gone

 

NEWSFLASH!

Tongues were never designed to have blobs of metal affixed through them.

Most dentists recommend against tongue rigns because of the dental problems that can occur over time.

Not to mention Tongue peircings can lead to a whole host of other health problems

You decided to roll the dice. and you lost.

Let that be a life lesson for ya.
whether you learn from it or not is up to you

cereal bowl to left ear for not responding to a very important question about when the cat litter was last changed.    Note to all married men, when you see that look in her eye, even though you are right in the middle of a 1 vs 4 and winning, take the headset off and say yes dear!   Generally this destabilizes the pressure that is building up between the ears of the old lady!  It gives you about 1.3 seconds to duck or put arms in front of face!

Heh. my family learned when I say "not now" when Im playing I mean NOT NOW.

I'll put up with almost anything. And often do
But dont dare bother me when Im in an intence knife fight and I say "Not Now"

Gotta learn to stand your ground man.

In a clear and commanding voice you have to let them know that unless its something that is dire. like someone is dying, or the house is on fire. It can wait a few minutes till your done.

A few times of this and they eventually figure it out.
The good part is inbetween the time when they havent "gotten" it yet and the time they actually do They often stop talking to you altogether.
Leaving you to fly in peace and quiet for a few days:D

Never been physicaly hurt while playing.
Used to also "duck" the head on passses also though LOL I can relate

Worst thats happened is Im taking a drink of coffee when I notie tracers going by my cockpit.
I grab the stick and go into evasives.
At almost that exact moment I swallow and my coffee goes down the wrong pipe.
Now here I am trying to evade and fight with a mouthfull of coffe and my body just screaming to let it out.
Now my body is trying to cough and Im sitting there trying to get into a position to extend. Mouth clenched shut Body heaving.
Eventually I cant hold it back and I spray my monitor,desk and Keyboard with coffee.

But I managed to get away with only a few holes in the plane
