Positive thoughts on Aces High

Logged off around 19:50 US CT, Dec 30, 2014 after about an hour and a half.

It was a great time. Salutes to Paladin3, trogdor, Hollywood (or whatever the 8 letter version,) GryBusey and others on the Rook nation for a fun and cooperative flying environment.
 
Salute to the 71st et al on the knits for awesome fights.  

Of course, it is always more fun to string a few kills together as opposed to the string o' deaths. Tonight, what made it exceptional was nearly universal checking and clearing of sixes.

For all of the whiners, myself included (a tank killing a plane with the main gun!) I want to point out the good times on Aces High.  

There's and old joke about golf that applies to AH: When it's good, it's good. When it's bad, it's still pretty good.

  I get to play tag, or capture the flag, or whatever, using airplanes.  This is too cool for words!

Golf? I remember it being about sex compared with pizza. Maybe someone thinks golf is better than pizza, I don't know?

I flew in the LW arena for 20 minutes or so last night.  Saw people on both sides avoiding the pile-on.  People were flying a wide variety of aircraft, from early-war through Tempests.  Got check-sixes in plenty of time.  Didn't hear any political or foul speech.  Ran into a lot of talented pilots (yeah, yeah, how would I know? you ask with a leer).

It's like so many things in life; based on what you read, you expect much worse than what you actually experience.  Good times.

Golf is WAY better than pizza! AH is even better than that. This game has camaraderie, in depth game play that is unmatched, and in many cases requires skill, thought, and execution beyond anything any other simulation has to offer. Plus, I don't get sunburn or windburn playing AH.

Hmmm... In that case I'll have to change my version of the joke a little bit: Sex is like AH, when it's good etc... And to those sad people who don't know AH I'll use the word "golf" instead of "pizza".

And yes, there's elements in this game that are worth every penny of the $ 2300 or so I've paid for this game so far

Hey Oldman,  sorry bout last night.  in Axis/Allies,  during our fight, very near the end I got message that UDP dropped and switch to TCP and then I got a collide message.  you said you were going to get a new plane and then I lost connection.  By the time I got something to eat and rebooted you were gone.  

Maybe we can get some more people to show up there, I really like the winter maps.

Wow think about it - if you didn't play AH you could now have saved enough money for a new computer to play AH.

Or I could have gone to the local pub every week for one beer during their happy hour instead of sitting in front of my computer.

That's a misnomer since you consume bundles of beer and whisky anyway when sitting in front of the computer!

Its a outrage! How dare you!

Would that be a paradox?  


Happy New Year!

But it is probably cheaper to buy it by the case and drink it at home...
