Best Thing Aces High Does for You?
« on: April 19, 2007, 12:52:31 PM »
As we all know, Aces High is much more than just a game.  It confers immense benefits of all sorts.  So what is the best thing Aces High does for you?

How about --


sit you a shun all    a where nest ...   :noid


         s i t u a t i o n a l    
                                      a w a r e n e s s  


Really, aren't you now a better driver?  Smarter pedestrian?  Smoother talker?  Wiser computerite?  More elusive target for any hostiles on or off line?  

Is there anything you don't do better since you started doing Aces High?

I do tend to check my surroundings more often since I started enjoying flight sims. I sure wish I had 4-20mm hispanos for the morons in traffic here in Austin. Morning and evening traffic commute would be so much more fun with them. :aok

Back when I started playing online WW2 sims (Air Warrior) it sparked a broader interest in WW2 aviation and lead to reading many books which my 11 year son now enjoys. :aok

Its created some friendships over the years.

Other than that, its just wasted my time. :)

Uh, without the game, there would be no subscribers.  Kind of a chicken and egg thing.

Gave me a good excuse to buy a top of the line gaming machine. I'm loving the steady 180-200 frame rates:D

Met a lot of great people and have learned a lot more about WWII than I ever imagined I could.

Made some really good friends.

Learned about the view of the US through the eyes of non Americans that can speak intelligently and without invective.

Participated in the longest thread in board history.

Hopefully made most of you laugh at least once.  If not with me at least AT me.
