You know you may be playing too much Darkwind when…

*Marc5iver* 5ive Crew Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,354 Joined: Oct 10, 2008 Just before going to bed you send some travelers on their way to Elm. During the night you dream that you lost the cars because of a similar circumstance to the Bug thread “scout showed as at home, but then an encounter spawned”. I actually had the thought in my dream that I was going to have to let Sam know that I shouldn’t have lost those cars. I have also dreamed that I was playing DW, but it was first person perspective and I was driving out in the desert looking for Pirates. Please feel free to add your own weirdness to the thread. Would love to see other's stories of real life/DW combining. ......................... vet wv gwextrav e2g marshal pvp4 pvp3 pvp2 Posted Feb 16, 2009, 7:38 pm Last edited Feb 16, 2009, 8:00 pm by Marc5iver

Kime Dennory Weasel Works Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 725 Joined: Aug 8, 2008 When you see a new model of car, and your first thought is 'I wonder how many bulk points it'll take?' When you see a panel truck go by and think, 'Damn risky going out without escorts.' When you see someone with dual fancy-schmancy chrome exhaust and think, 'Uh oh, rear MGs...' But the actual potentially not-so-funny part of 'you've been playing too much Darkwind' for me: I play Darkwind several times a week, although these days it's mostly just travels since I don't have more than 15 minutes at a time. I drive, at most, once a week. Say two to four times a month. I drive a compact semi-sports car: Acura Integra GS-R. 170 HP from a 1.8 liter engine, 0 to 60 in a neat 7 seconds. Performance tires, the works. It's a huge waste for me, but I bought it when I was driving a lot more and I love it and don't want to give it up. It hugs the corners like nobody's business, and is loads of fun to drive on the windy mountain roads that pretty much surround the San Francisco Bay area in all directions. (Well, except to the West.) The result of all this? I am much more used to driving in Darkwind now than I am driving in RL. I find myself thinking 'I wonder how fast I can take this corner without spinning out?' I find myself thinking 'Ah, a straightaway, I'd better hit the gas hard on this because I'll have to brake for the next corner.' I find myself thinking, 'I bet I can take this corner without slowing.' And I find myself thinking, 'Did I put roll bars in this one?' But mostly it's not even inner dialogue, it's just the occasional feeling of unease... the feeling that I'm not going fast enough to get away. I haven't done anything really stupid yet. I'm hoping it's not just a matter of time. -KD ......................... vet Posted Feb 18, 2009, 1:19 am
