That Moment...

Reminds me of the Halo games where your melee attack hits extremely hard, but you’ll get shot up quickly trying to actually use it in many levels

 

This reminds me when my nephew was little and he challenged me to a match in Halo. Which I've never played Halo, however I have played Doom and Fallout 3. ( which is what was out at the time)

So basically his tactic was running gun, my tactic was camp and snipe. Suffice to say he didn't kill me once, even when I got bored and started running gunning myself. LOL

He was left utterly shock and dumbfounded, it was the first time I got to use the line; boy, I've been playing these games since before you were born!

Never fuck with a sniper!!

 

TMW... while search the Latest alerts and by page 16 of 25 it dawns on you, you could have just checked Watched Threads in your Profile... So you post here real quick on your way to it.

 

SITHRAK!!!!!!!!!!

 

His hate for us knows no boundaries

 

Old statistic that I've probably misremembered some of the exactly details of, but I read once that most police-involved "gunfights" (both parties armed and shooting) take place at less than fifteen feet, last less than eight seconds, everyone involved empties their weapons with zero hits, and devolve into fistfights.

 

That moment when you do research for a story, and develop a weird fascination with telephones.

 

That moment when there's already a drunk wandering around town dressed in only a pair of shorts and an England flag and the match doesn't even start for 5 hours...

 

TMW You're about to come back home, and when you enter your estate, you see an overly formal looking man with a clipboard...and so you head back out and hide for a while!

ETA: This may or may not have anything to do with me not paying for something...

 

I can understand most variants of English, but some Britishisms still make me laugh. To an American, one's estate would look something like this:

 

LOL, I got the image of Flawed pulling into a large mansion estate, seeing the monopoly guy waiting for her, and just slowly backing out of the driveway and driving away.

 

In the Monopoly race car!

 

That moment you think you know it all but then you don't.

 

TMW You discover 100 more reasons to love somebody even more than you already do.

 

And what is that ?

 

TMW you arrive to a safety meeting at work and there’s only, like, three people.

Has no one else got the memo??

 

TMW two photos you took during the day are aligned perfectly in your phone's photo gallery:

(From inside St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican).

 

Oh yeah, Halo is one of those series you can die almost instantly if you blunder through the scenery without finding cover or checking for ambush spots. I had a rude awakening when I started playing Halo and Halo 2 after years of playing RPGs and shooters with more forgiving health bars.

 

TMW You find a lovely dress in a charity shop, and go to try it on...only to discover that it doesn't fit you.

 

TMW The 8 hour time difference really starts to bite!


Likely compounded by a video call until 2.30am...

 

TMW You are so tired that you start making some dinner, only to realise half way through that you'd previously started making a different dinner!

 

Are you in the UK?

 

Ireland.
