2142 Log - 7/6/2007 - Supplemental

Went home for lunch. Watched Seraphan1 kick arse up one side and down another on two rounds. Strangely enough, it wasn't my arse that he kicked. It was my arse that everyone else kicked. Wow what a rough first round.

The second round I got something like 20 points!! Between healing, capping and killing, it was like Christmas!

So now you ask the question, "Why is GQ so excited about 20 measly points??" The answer is quite obvious: my average is something on the order of 8 points per round.

In any case, it was fun.

Alright, I don't know who was playing last night, but...wow. If the game was considered a comedy circuit and I a comedian, my playing last night would rank right on up there with Keith Richards' infamous act.

An hour of playing. One Titan, one Conquest. 12 points. Total. (Imagine GrasshopperQ jumping up and down, pointing at a heckler and screaming something like, "He plays like me! He plays like me!!" Course, then I'd be in serious trouble. Probably get sued or labeled a real meanie or something. Because talk like that just shouldn't be tolerated.)

Patriot Log - Earthdate 7/5/2007

Played again a bit last night, burning off the parade-scavenged candy and fireworks high.

Gained a whopping 4 points on a Conquest, and a 25 on a Titan. Wasn't too bad. Teams lacked a certain...everything--mostly the Gupster, Eldarama and Sera-ly'ya. While the Conquest team kicked serious bootay, the Titan team got wiped.

I got a few kills in with the new 'nades which was rather enjoyable, and I actually got a kill in with the new rockets! But to be perfectly honest, I think that was only because the walker was getting pummeled by a gunship and I just happened to land the last blow. Ah, well. To the well-timed go the spoils, yeah?

The number of times I wasted an entire mag on someone to only have them turn around and waste me decreased significantly. I may be getting better! Course...that could've been because I got most all of my points by capturing silos.... Nah. Let's go with I'm getting better!

I played last night because I was so close to a promotion. Well, that and I had to wake up so I could get some work done directly after. I got the promotion and an unlock. Spent it on the defibrillator. Next unlock: a better gun.

Fifth Wheel Log, Earth Date 7/3/2007

Did more fighting last night. Couple rounds of Titan. Actually scored a few points that weren't parasited off of FreshGuppy, Seraphan1 or Eldarath. Most of them were actually my own! Most of them.

Ran around retargeting silos seconds before they launched. Actually assaulted the Titan a few times. Couldn't get past one defender's defenses. Ran around retargeting silos. Still lost the second round.

What to unlock? What to unlock...?

Only one near-team-kill. Actually would've been hadn't FF been off. Can't quite get the hang of seeing the blue above the target. It was kind of funny, though. I was throwing rockets at a tank hovering near a silo. It targeted me. Didn't fire. "How lucky I am!" I thought. It looked around, not unlike someone looking over his shoulder to see who that dork is waving at, then targeted me again as I was done reloading and began firing more rockets at it. It still didn't fire. "Why isn't it firing??" Oh. A friendly. Oops. I ran around the tank as though hunting for what it was I was shooting at. Luckily an enemy popped out, and the tank blasted it. Face saved. Except for now. Why do I write this stuff??

Monkey's Log - Earthdate: 7/2/2007

Last night I fifth-wheeled with FreshGuppy and Eldarath for a while. Got a few more parasite points and only one near-team-kill. (Which was better than the previous night's full-on team kill. Bleh.)

Couple nights ago I finally cashed in some unlocks. Got the 'nades, and running abilities. Went up the left Assault path up to the rocket launcher. Last night I actually threw a grenade! No kills, of course, but hey--one step at a time, yeah?

I launched quite a few newly-unlocked rockets, most of which disappeared into space. A few scratched a couple tanks, and one or two damaged an enemy soldier. Still a big fat ZERO on the number of kills with that weapon, though. Something about one step at a time...right?
