TAXI TO VICTORY!

I was in the library this morning as I often find myself on patch day with a mild case of the flutters (read, head exploding, stimach churning, eating disabled) and I came across Scott Jennings new book, Massively Multiplayer Games for Dummies. The forward references this gem twice and reminded me what a great read it was when I first came to the company right after launch.

[20:44] <@Grant> Nah, that was WinXP.

[20:44] <@Lum_> my tank is hot because YOU MADE ME CLOSE THE WINDOW

[20:44] <@Naivete> that's what you get for corrupting the timeline.

[20:44] <@Staberinde> Does this mean the French in WW2 were running WarpOS?

[20:44] <@da_slog> IF you had a JOYSTICK

[20:44] <@da_slog> YOU COULD PLAY

[20:44] <@StackedMidgets> WinME was hidden in a nazi agent's ass

[20:44] <@Lum_> let me see if I can plug in my joystick

[20:44] <@Lum_> HOLD ON

[20:44] <@Naivete> this game sounds so excelent

[20:44] <@Lum_> let me go crawl around my tank and FIND THE JOYSTICK PORT

[20:44] <@Madman> haha

[20:44] <@StackedMidgets> lol

[20:44] <@Eldin> lol

[20:44] <@Staberinde> Well on the plus side at least they didn't add the naval portion

[20:44] <@da_slog> lol my face hurts from laughing so hard

[20:44] hahaha

[20:45] <@Staberinde> I can just imagine Lum steaming a Cruiser up the Thames and shelling Birimingham palace

[20:45] <@Staberinde> as a Brit

[20:45] <@Madman> haha...careful lum...someone might tankjack you

[20:45] <@Soulflame> ...

[20:45] <@StackedMidgets> hehe

[20:51] <@PyroRaven> i would +m the room but we are all op's

[20:51] <@da_slog> the numbers represent the position in the tank

[20:51] <@da_slog> 1 = driver

[20:51] <@da_slog> 2 = commander

[20:51] <@da_slog> 3 = gunner

[20:51] <@Lum_> but not the numpad numbers

[20:51] <@da_slog> 4 = another gunner

[20:51] <@Lum_> THOSE NUMBERS ARE BAD

[20:51] <@da_slog> right

[20:52] <@da_slog> NUMPAD IS FOR VIEWS IN AIRPLANE

[20:52] um yes

[20:52] <@da_slog> Tanks can Fly

[20:52] <@Lum_> Tanks can FLY?

[20:52] <@da_slog> at least they do online

[20:52] *** Staberinde is now known as Georgi_Zhukov

[20:52] <@Lum_> I wish they had a real progress bar

[20:52] <@da_slog> but they do

[20:53] <@Lum_> It is just flashing "loading"

[20:53] <@da_slog> Lum

[20:53] <@da_slog> you can launch it

[20:53] <@da_slog> take a piss

[20:53] <@da_slog> get a beetr

[20:53] <@da_slog> beer

[20:53] <@da_slog> walk the dog

[20:53] <@da_slog> and come back

[20:53] <@Lum_> I don't think I have ever seen any game take this long to load

[20:53] <@da_slog> and it will have loaded

[20:53] <@Lum_> What is it doing in there

[20:53] <@da_slog> Formatting your hard drive

[20:54] <@Lum_> WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO LAUNCH A TANK I CANNOT DRIVE

[20:54] <@Lum_> GAMES WITH TANKS I CAN DRIVE LAUNCH MUCH FASTER

[20:54] <@da_slog> You have over 500 MEG RIGHT?

[20:54] <@Lum_> yeah

[20:54] <@PyroRaven> Did you patch lum?

[20:54] <@Lum_> gigabytes and gigabytes of HD space

[20:54] <@PyroRaven> k

[20:54] <@Lum_> no

[20:54] <@da_slog> not HD

[20:54] <@Lum_> I am still patching

[20:54] <@Lum_> OK

[20:54] <@da_slog> memory

[20:54] <@Lum_> I want to drive a french tank

[20:54] <@Lum_> 128mb ram

[20:54] <@da_slog> ohh that's bad

[20:55] <@da_slog> you need more

[20:55] <@Lum_> CHAR B1 BIS

[20:55] <@da_slog> at least 256 more

[20:55] <@Lum_> THAT SOUNDS FRENCH

[20:55] <@Lum_> no

[20:55] <@Lum_> 128 mb is enough

[20:55] <@Lum_> it's fucking enough for microsoft dev studio

[20:55] <@da_slog> NO IT ISNT STFU NEWB

[20:55] <@Lum_> I think it's enough for my TANK GAME

[20:55] <@Mako> oh god

[20:55] <@Mako> try to fly

[20:55] <@Mako> i DARE you

[20:55] <@Lum_> ok

[20:55] <@Lum_> I am launching my french tank

[20:55] <@Lum_> but the loading screen still has german guys

[20:55] <@da_slog> hehe

[20:55] <@Lum_> OK

[20:56] <@Lum_> I AM IN MY FRENCHIE TANK

[20:56] <@Lum_> ENGINE KICKSTARTED

[20:56] <@Lum_> NOW LET ME CLOSE MY FUCKING WINDOW

[20:56] <@da_slog> so you can see out very well

[20:56] <@da_slog> NO

[20:56] <@da_slog> don't

[20:56] <@Lum_> BECAUSE JESUS GOD I BETTER CLOSE THE WINDOW

[20:56] <@PyroRaven> why cloese the window?

[20:56] <@Lum_> ok

[20:56] <@da_slog> you can't see out

[20:56] <@da_slog> press period

[20:56] <@StackedMidgets> lol

[20:56] <@Lum_> ok

[20:56] <@StackedMidgets> lum doesn't want to see the horrors of offline war

[20:56] <@Lum_> I'm peering out the hatch

[20:56] <@da_slog> that's the best view you get

[20:57] <@Lum_> THAT IS FINE

[20:57] <@Lum_> I AM FRENCH

[20:57] <@Lum_> hang on

[20:57] <@Lum_> HANG ON

[20:57] <@Lum_> trying to work my joystick

[20:58] <@Lum_> you know this is quite possibly the worst game in the history of man

[20:58] <@StackedMidgets> Lum

[20:58] <@da_slog> IT'S REALISTIC LUM

[20:58] slog quick, what is your CPU speed/vidcard again?

[20:58] <@Lum_> yes

[20:58] <@StackedMidgets> it's not as bad as MDK2

[20:58] <@Lum_> it is NOT REALISTIC

[20:58] <@da_slog> REALISM IS IMPORTANT

[20:58] <@Lum_> IN REAL LIFE I CAN FIRE A RIFLE

[20:58] <@da_slog> JUST ASK BRAD MCQUAID

[20:59] <@Naivete> yes lum, but in real life you aren't a soldier. you see, there has to be game balance between RL and the game.

[20:59] <@da_slog> OK DID YOU GET THE TANK TO MOVE?

[20:59] <@PyroRaven> umm, its worse then dikata

[20:59] <@PyroRaven> or what ever

[20:59] <@Lum_> OK

[20:59] <@Lum_> I am in 3rd gear

[20:59] <@Lum_> I AM MOVING NOW

[20:59] <@Mako> lapowihgpo2ai3hpoihapsg

[20:59] <@Lum_> WATCH OUT NAZIS

[20:59] <@da_slog> woot

[20:59] <@Mako> they make you SHIFT GEARS?

[20:59] <@da_slog> yes Mako

[20:59] <@Lum_> my joystick isn't working

[20:59] <@Lum_> it's working in windows

[20:59] <@StackedMidgets> wtf

[20:59] <@da_slog> yes it is

[20:59] <@Lum_> but not here

[20:59] <@Lum_> it is?

[20:59] <@da_slog> you are moving

[20:59] <@Lum_> why am I not turning

[21:00] <@StackedMidgets> french tanks can't turn

[21:00] <@da_slog> is the enging reving?

[21:00] <@Lum_> are RIGHT TURNS beyond french technology?

[21:00] you have to hold control alt delete to turn!

[21:00] <@Lum_> yes the engine is reving

[21:00] <@StackedMidgets> is it one of those wood-burning french engines?

[21:00] <@Lum_> IT IS NOT TURNING

[21:00] <@Eldin> Wonder if GEAR would help

[21:00] <@Lum_> I AM GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE

[21:00] <@da_slog> put joystick in upper left

[21:00] <@Naivete> hahaha

[21:00] <@Lum_> how do I fire my gun

[21:00] <@Naivete> yes lum, use gear.

[21:00] <@da_slog> GUN?

[21:00] <@Lum_> nothing

[21:00] <@Lum_> oh shit

[21:00] <@Lum_> my engine died

[21:00] <@StackedMidgets> rofl

[21:00] <@Lum_> no

[21:00] <@Lum_> NO

[21:01] <@Lum_> I AM TURNING

[21:01] <@da_slog> WOOT

[21:01] HAHAHA

[21:01] <@StackedMidgets> IT'S A MIRACLE

[21:01] * @Naivete cheers.

[21:01] <@da_slog> you joystick works

[21:01] <@Lum_> DEAR GOD I AM TURNING

[21:01] <@Lum_> how do I stop turning

[21:01] <@Lum_> ok

[21:01] <@Lum_> I stopped

[21:01] <@Naivete> can you stop turning?

[21:01] <@Naivete> hahaha

[21:01] <@da_slog> ok press 2

[21:01] <@Lum_> I'm not moving now

[21:01] <@da_slog> lets try this again

[21:01] <@StackedMidgets> think a happy little thought

[21:01] <@Lum_> I pressed 2

[21:01] <@Lum_> I see NOTHING

[21:01] <@da_slog> press O

[21:01] <@Lum_> it's like a gray screen

[21:01] <@Lum_> Oh that is GHEY

[21:01] <@da_slog> did and spin around

[21:01] <@Lum_> I see a little tiny tiny window

[21:02] <@da_slog> that's the commander's view

[21:02] <@StackedMidgets> lol

[21:02] <@da_slog> ok now press 3

[21:02] <@Lum_> well NO WONDER THE FRENCH LOST

[21:02] <@Lum_> hey

[21:02] <@StackedMidgets> hehehe

[21:02] <@Lum_> I see, um, gear shifts.

[21:02] <@Eldin> lol

[21:02] <@da_slog> press button 1

[21:02] <@Lum_> HOW DO I FIRE THE FUCKING GUN

[21:02] <@StackedMidgets> the commander just uses his IMAGINATION

[21:02] <@da_slog> did it fire?

[21:02] <@Eldin> It's like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

[21:02] <@Lum_> no

[21:02] <@Lum_> nothing happened

[21:02] <@da_slog> ok press 4

[21:02] <@StackedMidgets> did you notice the highly accurate muzzle velocity?

[21:02] <@Lum_> ok i SEE A CLOCK

[21:03] <@Lum_> Well maybe it's a dial of some sort

[21:03] <@da_slog> ok press period key on numpad

[21:03] <@Lum_> it's not labeled or anything

[21:03] <@StackedMidgets> it's decoration

[21:03] <@da_slog> you get a gunsite?

[21:03] <@Lum_> no

[21:03] <@da_slog> shit

[21:03] <@Chum> did you make gunpowder? Stuff it in a metal casing? prep it? Then load it into the barrel?

[21:03] <@da_slog> press 3

[21:03] <@Lum_> I am in a pacifist tank

[21:03] <@da_slog> then press the period key

[21:03] <@Madman> well you are french lum

[21:03] <@Lum_> we don't believe in shooting things

[21:03] haha

[21:03] <@Lum_> I see a gunsight now

[21:04] <@da_slog> WOOT

[21:04] <@Madman> FIRE!

[21:04] <@Madman> FIRE IN THE HOLE!

[21:04] <@da_slog> and whatnot

[21:04] <@Lum_> I pressed the joystick button

[21:04] KILL@(*&@*(&%*@)^@)(*

[21:04] <@Lum_> nothing happened

[21:04] <@Georgi_Zhukov> Fire your cannon at the emptiness

[21:04] <@StackedMidgets> use french children for target practice

[21:04] <@Georgi_Zhukov> kill the spritely pigeons

[21:04] <@da_slog> can you move the gunsight around?

[21:04] <@Madman> of course the joystick button won't fire the gun

[21:04] <@DeepT> Attack the darkness with your magic missiles

[21:04] <@Lum_> no

[21:04] <@Madman> that would make too much sense lum

[21:04] <@da_slog> is your tank running?

[21:04] <@Lum_> yes

[21:04] <@Lum_> I think

[21:04] <@Lum_> the engine is making noise

[21:04] <@da_slog> you can hear it idleing

[21:04] <@Lum_> THIS IS HARD

[21:04] THEN YOU HAD BETTER CATCH

[21:04] <@Georgi_Zhukov> You probably have to press 12 different buttons to fire

[21:04] <@Lum_> IS DRIVING REAL TANKS THIS HARD?

[21:05] <@da_slog> YES

[21:05] <@Madman> YES!

[21:05] <@StackedMidgets> that's not the engine, those are french children trying to sabatoge your tank

[21:05] <@da_slog> IT REALLY IS

[21:05] <@Lum_> then how did we ever kick Iraq's ass

[21:05] <@Lum_> I like really respect the military now

[21:05] <@da_slog> YOU SURE YOUR JOYSTICK WORKS?

[21:05] <@Lum_> YES

[21:05] <@StackedMidgets> we ran them over

[21:05] <@Georgi_Zhukov> Our tanks were powered by Nintendo

[21:05] <@Eldin> Oh, tanks nowadays are like Nintendo

[21:05] <@Lum_> IT TURNED BEFORE

[21:05] <@Lum_> oh crap

[21:05] <@StackedMidgets> Eldin - BATTLETANX

[21:05] <@Lum_> I crashed

[21:05] <@da_slog> IRAQ HAD TANKS TOO

[21:05] <@Madman> because we have better training than WWIIOL

[21:05] <@Lum_> I REBOOTED AGAIN

[21:05] <@Eldin> lol, that was scary

[21:05] <@da_slog> ROFL

[21:05] <@Georgi_Zhukov> IRAQ HAD SOVIET TANKS SLOG

[21:05] <@Madman> haha

[21:05] <@StackedMidgets> rofl

[21:05] <@StackedMidgets> WWIIOL owns

[21:05] hahahahhahahahahaha

[21:05] <@StackedMidgets> I saw want this game

[21:06] <@StackedMidgets> err so

[21:06] <@da_slog> Soviet TANKS ARE HARD To DRIVE TOO

[21:06] <@Lum_> Ok

[21:06] <@Lum_> I wanna drive a pickup truck

[21:06] <@Georgi_Zhukov> NO THEY'RE NOT. THE FRIENDLY US APACHES BLOW THEM UP BEFORE YOU TURN ON THE ENGINE.

[21:06] <@Lum_> HOW HARD CAN THAT BE

[21:06] This is by far as hard as I have laughed in a month. I suppose in that regard, WWIIOL is a complete success

[21:06] <@da_slog> beats me

[21:06] <@Madman> THAT IS HARDER TO DRIVE THAN A TANK!

[21:06] <@da_slog> they don't much

[21:06] <@Lum_> I WANT TO TOOL AROUND THE WASTED BADLANDS OF BELGIUM IN A PICKUP TRUCK

[21:06] <@da_slog> they just tow shit around

[21:06] <@da_slog> and transport troops

[21:06] <@StackedMidgets> haha

[21:06] <@Lum_> I CAN DO THIS

[21:06] <@Lum_> firing guns = HARD

[21:06] <@da_slog> no

[21:07] <@Lum_> driving tank = HARD

[21:07] <@Eldin> I bet flying a plane would be easy. . .

[21:07] <@da_slog> you can't transport troops offline

[21:07] <@Lum_> firing tank guns = LUM CANNOT DO

[21:07] <@StackedMidgets> while people are just pressing 20 buttons to shoot their rifles at you, you can run them over with your chevy

[21:07] <@Lum_> let's try a plane

[21:07] <@da_slog> NO PLEASE NO

[21:07] <@Lum_> I wish I didn't have to sit through this movie every time

[21:07] <@Lum_> OK

[21:07] <@StackedMidgets> rofl

[21:07] <@PyroRaven> great

[21:07] <@Lum_> WE ARE LOADING AGAIN

[21:07] <@da_slog> DO WE HAVE TOO FLY THE PLANE?

[21:07] haha YES

[21:07] <@Soulflame> hahaha

[21:07] <@Madman> YOU WILL BEGIN TO LOVE THE MOVIE!

[21:08] <@Madman> oh yeah slog? prove it!

[21:08] <@Lum_> WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF

[21:08] <@PyroRaven> prese 5

[21:08] <@da_slog> lol

[21:08] <@Lum_> you know

[21:08] <@Madman> hey where are the japanse in WWIIOL?

[21:08] <@Lum_> it takes me much less time to load windows

[21:08] <@StackedMidgets> the longest loading time...

[21:08] not yet

[21:08] <@Georgi_Zhukov> Dusk of 1942:Dawn of 1943 Tactics Online is sooooo going to own you!

[21:08] <@Lum_> this game is more complicated then windows

[21:08] <@PyroRaven> To take off you hold ctrl and hit f4

[21:08] WW2OL is an OS in itself apparently

[21:08] <@da_slog> no japs yet Madman

[21:08] I SHOOTS TEH GUNS!!11

[21:09] <@Lum_> I CANT

[21:09] <@Soulflame> Note: The Japanese will not be available in the released version.

[21:09] <@Lum_> I CANT SHOOT ANY GUNS

[21:09] LOL

[21:09] <@Lum_> IT MAKES ME FEEL INADEQUATE

[21:09] <@StackedMidgets> doesn't this make you so much more appreciative of the sacrafices our forefathers made?

[21:09] <@StackedMidgets> or maybe this exposes the truth

[21:09] <@StackedMidgets> none of the fuckers ever figured out how to shoot any guns, and they just played it out with dodgeball

[21:09] <@Georgi_Zhukov> IF A BLUNDERBUS HAD 47 SEPERATE KEY-COMBINATIONS YOU HAD TO PRESS TO FIRE IT THE PILGRIMS WOULD BE WORMFOOD RIGHT NOW.

[21:09] <@Eldin> I bet Ben Afflek had no problem driving the tanks. . .

[21:09] <@Madman> lum...the tank between your legs should stop you from feeling inadequate

[21:10] <@da_slog> what kind of plane Lum?

[21:10] <@Madman> tom hanks had no problem firing a gun in WWII

[21:10] <@Lum_> fuck if I know
