I'd just like to take a moment of your time to celebrate a momentous
occasion (for me, anyway).

Last night I scored my first "Godlike" and my first (and probably last)
"Wicked Sick" while playing UT2004 DeathMatch in the Plunge map on a public
server with 19 other fraggers. Ended up with 42 frags and 2 deaths (mostly
with the shock rifle and flak cannon). And STILL got beat by PEE_NUTZ, who
had 50 kills and 40 deaths.

But, in spite of the loss, I found it supremely satisfying.

I know this probably isn't a big deal to a lot of you jokers... but it was
pretty cool for me, since I usually find myself out-gunned, out-dodged, and
out-fragged.

A story of hope for us old folks*...

Good stuff SomeOldDude!
Another player recently asked me what I was doing there, as "computer
games are for young people". I was determined to outscore him after he
said that.... I kicked his arse! Now he says Hi when he sees me :)

I think that godlike and wicked sick comes with age. I dont have any yet and
I am 3 years younger (or so) then you guys.
It must be the expirence that counts.

When you are dead then then I am better :)

Ohhh boy it's good to hear that will keep my spirit up for some months.....
I was starting to think I am too old for this gaming, and should start
looking at chess or bridge like other oldies...

Thanks for sharing your accomplishment - keep it up.

We're the ol'boys club

"Age will prevail"

Let's show those teens that once in a while they must respect the
experience. Game on for many hours so that it's way past their bed-time -
then we can out frag them :)))

Us "old folks" usually have an advantage in being able to afford the best
toys like a top of the line system.

Difference between boys and men are the price of their toys.

Boys never grow up. They just get better toys. Favourite saying
amongst the Robot Wars builders.

Nice one 'Dude. I got Wicked Sick against (skilled) bots last night (not
the same thing I know) and took several screenshots. I was looking forward
to viewing them until I realised that my Limited User account had no write
permissions to the UT2004/ScreenShots directory.

ah heck.

Regards,

Pete.
