Default Girlfriends DO listen

This past friday, march 5 i turned the big 4O.

Silently i was hoping, just maby i would get that new graphics card i need to be able to run 3 wide screens. In silence, i mean, maby, just maby i will get it even though the misses really dont like me wasting time infront of the screen playing games (even though i cut back on gaming time a fair bit in the last year or 2). 4o beeing a nice even number and all.


Well, i didnt get the card. (bummer)


I got this instead.




Every time u think u got the female jender pegged, they go and pull a stunt like this. No wonder men are constantly confused.


Anyone here tried this, any tips or hints would be appriciated.

The vid is a promo (i think)

Got a package with info. in the mail today so well see when the big day is. The day after i get my copy of SoW wouldnt be bad.

Well, if that was you on the tape, I would have wondered, why you were asking for any hints - think it was pretty clear to most of us.

My only tip would be to rely on your experience. Don't know who you'll be fighting against, but most people doing this have no or little flightsim-experience. They usually think 2-dimensional and rather turn than thinking about the third dimension. At least in the first part. Use it against them.
Other than that, most people not used to flying simulation or in reality hesitate to go into a steep turn, pulling the stick to increase turnrate. But you won't go BnZ in these events, so it's all about outmaneuvering and outturning the enemy.

Will be intresting to see how it realy feels doing hard turns and manouvers, visibillity etc. and all the other stuff there have been countless threadhs about. Not quite the same thing but as close as any mortal can get i guess.
