Did Manfred von Richthofen...
« on: November 14, 2009, 04:37:01 PM »
have to deal with his graphics card blowing up?

This tour I wanted to see how many victories I could do without a death, I was up to 102 and 0 before my 8800GTX blew up. :(

I'm not peeved off, I was going to be replacing it very soon anyway. I just feel sorry for the person who I promised it to tough. :bolt:

That's life.

haha yeah... The flying was boring me to death. On the good side, I can still play AH2 on my ATI850XT until I get my new card(s). 30-50FPS, woot! No more MW2 though. :(

death by mechanical failure... vanished without a trace are always fun.

among my other favorites... I've had many random 1 ping puffy ack encounters when attempting the same thing... one of my more recent favorites was doing a high speed high frontal  diving deflection shot on some bombers about to explode a carrier and getting exploded by my own puffy ack which was unable to hit said bombers but did a fine job of killing me.


nice streak but the prize is to survive the whole thing... because its so bloody impossible and becomes statistically more impossible the more you play.

although I am interested to know if you also get more of an adrenalin rush after you pass 100 death free kills like i do.

Yesterday I was lining up an absolutely gorgeous shot on a P-38 and the puffy from our CV took my F4U-4's wing off. How handy.

Oh man Chewie, that's just wrong!

I guess this is the wrong thread to start bragging about my 10 kill streak without getting killed myself, huh?   :rock

Fester,

I'm not counting my disco as a death, according to the scoreboard I've yet to bail, ditch, be captured or has anyone claimed a victory over me in fighter mode.

No I didn't get an adrenalin rush after I passed 100 victories without a death. Any emotion to the game quickly passed after I couldn't boot my computer... I thought to myself "butter the game, I hope my computer's ok". After a little testing I found out the probelm was indeed the GFX card. TBH I was more looking forward to some DA time with Mark a.k.a SkyRock over the weekend rather than continuing my streak. I highly doubt that I would of had the patents and the will to get even close to Bruv's 250 for 0 which he set in FA anyway.

After reading Fester's description of his streak program in that other thread, pilots of JG11 have endeavored to try this out.  It is alot of fun, and adds a bit to the regular MA game play.

Disco's are a death due to mech failure for us, because that is the score criteria in AH.

It is fun, and very intense.  Our best this tour was (28).  We have one pilot still alive at (21).  All the rest of us are just...

...Dead Zombies flying.
