Saw Skuzzy in another thread talking about playing racing games, that got me wondering.

Do any of the HTC fellas, Hitech, Skuzzy, Waffle, Pyro, ever just kick back and play the game for fun anymore? (perhaps under different handles)

Or (as I suspect) has the game being their "work" everyday taken the enjoyment out of just playing it?

Or are they just too busy working on the game to ever play it, even if they wanted too?

Just curious.

I have never been very good at Aces High, and cannot fly from home as there is no room for a stick near my computer.

Hard for me to spend much time flying when at work as there are always phone calls and/or someone needing help, or some goof messing up a thread on the bulletin board. :)

Even though I suck at it, I'd spend more time playing the game if I had the time.

He has a secret B-29 that he flies around in game full of ban hammers for that one unwary soul.

I shot Hitech in his F4U Down at the Mitanau map 2002 my wingman was Hadess he shot his wingman pyro down
The HTC Staff play AH but with different nicknames.
When Waffle was a player and he made soundpacks and some skins everyone Congrat him
after he was a HTC staffmember the people on the Radio and Chanel 200 didn't Talk to him good :( the same People that Congrad him before I remember this.

I watched Hitech warp himself from the runway to 10k in a blink of an eye.

My thought was "How much Cragganmore for that trick!"

I have (on occasion) seen HiTech in the MAs. But usually late at night. All I can say on that is  :salute

Yeah if you check HiTech's scores you can see he does sometimes fly, but not very often.

Oh that's just great Serenity.  You can't drive worth a damn AND you shoot down the owner of AH.  Are you trying to get the entire 71 Squadron kicked out?!?!? :P
