Has AH2 Aided Your Life?

[Penguin]

I'd like to start off by saying that AH2 has helped me save my dad's car (and possibly us) from a falling tree branch (the thing weighed as much as a grown man) since I noticed it and warned him seconds before it would have fallen on us.  When has AH2's focus on SA helped you avoid a nasty tumble?

AH has made a considerable contribution towards my goal becoming a fat ugly guy. My avg. 130h/month gametime over the last 5 years have also helped tremendously in ignoring real-life issues and avoiding to get a life. It's helping me better to forget than any kind of booze, I guess.

The AH BBS has help me gain more knowledge of the air crafts of WWII.  There are a hand full of ppl on here that puts out a mass amount of info, some stuff that i never knew.  As for the game, making new friends around the world....mostly in U.S, Candana and New Zeland that i know of.

The BBS has contributed by entertaining me more than most of whats on TV.

last BOG event saturday, a couple of my friends stoped by trying to drag me to a party going on uptown. i'd allready partyed all the week before, and it was my first special event to ever attend, so i passed and opted to stay home
(i also felt it wasent right to leave the squad hanging at such short notice)
next morning i get a call that they tried driving home while intoxicated,  my friend passed out behind the wheel and then ended up tumbling down into a ditch.

2 of them had concussions, 1 a broken arm and the other just a bruised back.


if i hadent stayed home for the BOG event, i could of been in that car....

Flying AHII has had the opposite effect on my life. So much so that I refuse to drive less than one hour after flying as when I go to make a turn I keep trying to drop flaps and have swerved into the next lane.

Well the game itself hasn't really improved my health all that much. But these forums have. I was able to find a lot of good information on bodybuilding, exercising, and dieting. Thanks to a lot of people who posted on my thread a month ago, I have managed to pack on muscle and strength. Even gained 15 pounds in the process. And I am still working out and getting results.

made a lot of very good friends, provided hours of entertainment, learned tons of stuff about subjects I'd never bothered to research before, and spurred my desire to learn more history on my own.

It's a GREAT internet outlet for folks with the same interest and (hopefully) interest in history to get on a medium and share that interest and make great friends with like-minded people.  There are some GREAT friends I have made over all the years (going back to 1994).  Some are no longer with us and some are recent found friends.  Some of these friends (especially squaddies) come from all over the country as well as all over the world.  I know other games (like WoW--kinda) have similar possibilities but AH does not segregate people by server dependant on their language or world location.  I can have one squaddie in Sweden who is tired and staying up VERY late his time on with guys from far upstate NY, TX, and Equidor.  That's pretty cool in and of itself.  So in-game?  It's a very positive medium/game that has brought real friendships I would otherwise may have missed in life.


Side Note:  KUDOS to penguin.  For a young guy, you seem to do an excellent job carrying yourself in a mostly adult here.  You also have an excellent grasp of English as a second language!  Pat yourself on the back and then thank your parents for me!   

You carry yourself FAR better than some "adults" in this forum.

AH ingame and BBS have some funny things and really annoying things, Aces High has changes my life abit considering I want to be a pilot when I grow up, think this game can help being a pilot(yes I know this game isn't a f16 or f15, f22) but still maneuvers things like that. This game has also taught me about aircraft and vehicles and how they behaved I real life

I can't say AH (1 or 2) has really helped my life much, but the BBS has certainly increased my work productivity.

I'd credit more your insight of knowing you partied harty enough and had something/anyhting better to do with your time, even if it was sitting on your arse and relaxing infront of the computer.

Thanks, but English isn't my second language.    Oh jeez- do I sound that bad?
