Dark-Wind changed the way I look cars

Jarkko Niemi FireWolf Sunday Driver Civs Faction Group: Members Posts: 91 Joined: Jul 8, 2012 Whenever I see car, I rank it in DW terms. hmm ... two weapon mounts to sides. ... Sturdy but slow to turn ... I haven't ... at least yet ... said anything like that: "Turn right at that crossing, at Car Rifle range" Should I have break from playing .... :-) Nah, it is for sub 30 Courage gangers. ......................... vet wv Posted Aug 15, 2012, 5:30 pm

*JeeTeeOh* Loose Cannons Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,796 Joined: Oct 18, 2010 I do the same thing, although I'll take it a step further, picking my "shot" and letting my wife know that if she were a better gunner those old people wouldn't be in our way anymore.... Since I drive a Ford Crown Victoria (basically a Windsor II) in the real world, and most of the DW chassis are readily available on my local streets, it's a very immersive simulation when driving to the grocery store. So I'm crazy. ......................... vet wv e2g marshal cont deathrceL1 sssc Posted Sep 23, 2012, 12:50 am

My wife said, "you need to spend less time playing that car fighting game." I said, "No- what I need is a a Car Cannon or 2 in real life!" We continue to disagree on the subject..... ......................... vet ww wv e2g gwextrav sssc northernsummer gateautumn deathrce1 marshal race1 raceL1 combat1 pvp5 pvp4 pvp3 pvp20,1,0 Posted Sep 23, 2012, 1:02 am

*Snipe* Renshai Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Rule Council Posts: 581 Joined: Aug 31, 2009 Cracks me up, cause just a few days ago I looked in my rear view and proceeded to sweat cause I saw a Voy and a Windy1 in formation behind me. I couldnt help but keep checking my mirror and take the first chance to let them pass me so I could get in position to take them out. The drive home was a fun one. ......................... vet wv gateautumn sssc santa1 raceL1 deathrceL1 marshal pvp2 zom combatL1 pvp52,6,2 Posted Sep 23, 2012, 5:19 am

*K1500* Big Dumb Object Autodueller Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 394 Joined: Dec 29, 2011 Its a pretty common phenomenon within gaming communities actually. I've had the same thing after playing the Tony Hawk series and Mirrors Edge (as they both influence how you interpret your environment). Both those games actually prompted me to do a bit of skateboarding and parkour (I'm not doing either these days). I've read a few academic papers about it recently - really interesting stuff! For me, with DW, it tends to occur with SUV's when I'm walking round town. You can't park your Landy there!! I almost got run over by an Apache!! Man Chompers are so cheap a**, don't they know they turtle really easily... ......................... vet wv zom circuit1 storm2013 circuit3 marshal pvp2 ped2 pvp4 circuit2 ped1 gwped0,1,0 Posted Sep 23, 2012, 7:21 am

I wish I could do that. Figuring out the trigger linkage on the .50 caliber machinegun I mounted behind my grille was a nightmare. And getting ahold of that military-surplus flamethrower without setting off a bunch of red flags and dealing with the FBI? More trouble than it was worth, considering the effective range. Then there are the things you don't think about. My six-year-old girl keeps pumping rounds through the garage door while the car's warming up, the neighbors look at me funny, and I spend all my spare time trying to get the chemical accelerant smell out of the upholstery. I wish I were more like Sere. ......................... vet wv e2g marshal cont deathrceL1 sssc Posted Sep 23, 2012, 2:44 pm Last edited Sep 23, 2012, 2:45 pm by *JeeTeeOh*

DieselCougar Steel Panther Racer Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Rules Council Posts: 210 Joined: Jun 8, 2012 I tend to do the opposite, I relate real life terms to the game. The Road Runner is a Daytona Charger, only 701 of them made, and when someone says roadrunner it takes a few to realize that's what they are talking about and not a Plymouth. Still waiting for someone to do a '67 Mercury Cougar Eliminator, a Dodge Rampage would just be funny. I did make a comment in the late 90's early 2000 when I was in high school that my school hallways reminded me of Doom when I was walking though alone. ......................... vet wv ww Posted Sep 23, 2012, 4:07 pm

JuaN VaLDeZ Frontline Assembly Darkwind Guru Merchants Faction Group: Sinbinned Posts: 512 Joined: Mar 27, 2010 I remember a dream early on in playing darkwind. I was in a phoenix driving through the wasteland with a psycher, I was trying to focus on alternating between shooting and running away, while my psycher kept annoying me trying to give me 46Ys and zerk. eventually i gave in and the combat blured. I came to from the drug, to find myself kneeling on the ground eating a raiders arm. Watch out for spicey food before bedtime. I must have had a little Thai that night. ......................... vet wv zom deathrceL1 Posted Sep 24, 2012, 3:10 am Last edited Sep 24, 2012, 3:11 am by JuaN VaLDeZ

I was wondering what kind of armaments he's carrying while my family looked at me like I was a few fries short of a happy meal. Took me a bit to recall the RL name of that car.... what was it? eh no matter, it didnt have any guns on it......must have a been another boring travel...... -Jake ......................... vet wv Posted Sep 27, 2012, 3:16 pm
