Grown-up men playing computer game !?!

[zarkov]

I've always been interested in WWI and WWII aviation.  When I first saw LucasArts's Their Finest Hour in a computer store, I KNEW what I was going to be doing with MY computer - although I had to wait until Hellcats over the Pacific came out since I had a Mac SE/30 at the time  .

Well, most people don't say anything about it.  My wife on the otherhand has taken almost 5 years to realize what I tell her about it.

"Well, I could be out at the bar with the guys!"

Fact is, we all have to have some sort of fun or we end up acting like Osama bent Dick.

Other wise, I just tell them diddly off.

LOL!

Yep, childlike (as against childish) about sums it up for me, too. Never did lose my sense of wonder at the universe around me nor stop finding things that make me want to yell "WHEEEEEE!!!" fun.

I'm off to go plan giving the Tommies some more grief in Afrika in my beeyootiful Ju88, WHEEEEEE! :-)

The guys at work are always asking me why I'm online so much playing games.  Now keep in mind these are the same guys who come to work hung over and squeaking about how there wife is upset with them for coming home late again.  Or are going through a divorce.

I just smile and tell them my wife knows where I'm at and has grown to become attatch to staring at the back of my head  

Now my latest thing is my wife instead of saying "Honey can you come here for a second" to saying "Honey when you land after that sortie I need your help with something".

Life is good!  

God I love that woman!

Hehe, I'm close to your situation, but I still need to work it out as for now it goes like : "start looking for landing, dinner is ready"

Esme!  Great to see you here!  You took the words right of my mouth too!  These lot need to realise that there are women flying in Aces High and stop being so sexist!  At least HiTech seems to be getting the message now, and in the Events boards, Daddog is pretty good too.  

 

- you want to ...? Oh! Hang on... "Red leader, engine failure, I'm bailing out, byeeeee!" <g>

Hehe!  Very good post, Esme - and completely agreed!  Looking forward to seeing you in the game, especially now that Air Warrior is officially dead on 7 December....    I will miss Air Warrior, but at least it is good to see so many familiar, as well as new faces, in Aces High!

I don't wanna know!  My SA is bad enough, it'll go completely to crap if I'm looking around for the women flying!
