Back in the day I played a lot of hockey ... left defense ... and I worked very hard on making my slapshot my bread and butter ... hard, fast, and hits like a train.

Every time I played a new team, whenever I got the chance for a slapshot at the blue line, I would not necessarily aim for getting a goal, I would aim for one of the opposing team members with the intent of sending a message.

After a few of those got unleashed, every time I wound up ... it was like the parting of the Red Sea and I had a clear shot at the goal.

After awhile, when walking into a rink, I could hear some of the opposing team players say ...

Hey ... there's that SlapShot guy !!!

Well...one day I was watching top gun, and after the movie was over I saw the commercial for AH2. I installed the game, and I had no clue what I was doing, so I made my callsign "boby". I played my first 2 weeks and quit. A year later my parents let me get back on the game. I wanted "Maverick" but it was taken, so I went with "spikes", (former Buffalo Bills player Takeo Spikes). I played my time for about a year. I had to quit over the summer. I started "SpikesX" when I got back and played for a few months, but I couldn't pay for it. Now I am under "MstWntd". Yup.

<--- (Full spelling: "Thunderegg")

It was just a name I drummed up at FlaydONE's house when he introduced me to Aces High (1) over four years ago. It reflects one characteristic about where we live. I thought it sounded cool, and anymore, in regards to the game, it takes on a whole new meaning for me especially when delivering heavy ordnance to the enemy.

"A thunderegg (or thunder egg) is a geological structure, similar to a geode, that is formed within a rhyolitic lava flow. Thundereggs are not actually rocks, but rather geologic nodules which occur within other igneous rocks."

"According to Pacific Northwest native legend, the Thunder Spirits lived at the highest reaches of Mount Hood and Mount Jefferson, and when they became angry at each other, they threw these spherical rocks at each other."

Right out our front door is where you find them.

I picked up my name in 98 when I started to play AW.I was reading a book called "JG26 Top Guns Of The Luftwaffe" at the time.I happen to be reading a part about Joseph Priller.They said he had a great sence of humor and was a good guy and all so I used his nickname.I personalized it a bit by using a Z instead of a S.He shot down something like 101 Allied aircraft all on the western front.He is the highest scoring Luftwaffe pilot againts Spitfires.He was never shot down and was said to be a well liked leader and a great tactician.

Joseph "Pips" Priller

Although I cant compete with Pips for his more posititive attrabutes I think I have him clearly beat hands down when it comes to seranading the flight sim world:aok

The ones I want to know about are all those "zip code" guys! What on earth is all that about? I figure they are using names like that so as to try to be anonymous.

I always try and give check six's but when the guy is 6346353452345345, I just let him die.

In Air Warrior, I wanted "ROCKS", but it was already taken.

Had to settle for "ROX"

Joined the 68th Lightning Lancers almost a year ago.
