RvS action today

by

Todays RvS live op was a success, and I should be able to start work on the maps for the S4 op during the week. Spent most of the day between practicing in TG#1, did the LO, then we set it to Adversarial mode for some force on force drilling.

Rule #1, always get Nick first, haha!

I don’t care a great deal for survival / team survival mode, and I’m not terribly skilled at bomb mode; but I do love pilot mode and a full set of elements. Why, is because it makes you think rather then just kill stuff. Private Airport and Import-Export were especialyl fun maps. Nice to see though that the young troopers paid some attention to their training after all. Heh, that reminds me of a funny. We were on Team Survvial mode, off the banking house. I came ’round looking for some tangos, when I see someone laying prone with an AR in front of a n openning. Since we’re all on the same TS, I call out, “Hey whoevers laying prone …here… look behind you!”. The funny part, Hunter eventually got twitchy enough to do it, maybe felt me staring at him lol. So he stand sup toa crouch and turns around……. I squeeze off a solvo of Mac 9/11+SD into his helmet, but die leaving him gimped after Hunter opened up with his AR.

That’s when I learned, shoot them in the leg before they turn around, or just shoot them in the head 6-12 times instead of 4 xD

I also got to enjoy peaks, sniper fest and I was in the thick of it with my Walther WA-2000 magnum going head hunting. The sniper rifle is not something I use often in RvS, because I ___h_a_t_e___ having to fire 2ce to kill 1 tango at close range with a gun, designed to have a lethal knock down punch from hundreds of metres away! In the fighting on Peaks, I used 3 rounds per kill just to be sure lol. I always open fire and keep shooting the targets until they go down… and sometimes tempted to put two in the head before moving on, just to make sure we don’t get a frag rolling out after the fact.

Me and TF also went on a rampage in the Penthouse, 3vs2 and won hehe. Penthouse was always my favorite adversial map. Before I got into [SAS] stuff seriously, I spent over a year in adversarial play learning the trade. When I went back to Co-Op style, I embraced a more slow and methodical approuch until reaching the [SAS] Selection Course. These days, I know when to be slow, when the be fast, and when to shake, rattle, and roll.

Man I just had the strangest dream, dreamt that our webhost was trying to sell all our files on the black market, disguised as a fat woman. And then me and Wiz went down to collect the disks. What a ludicrous dream lol, like that scene from Good Fellas meets Big Mommas House :

Fools Gold

by

Just saw a hilarious movie, Fools Gold. It starts with these two hopeless idiots diving… the manage to sink their own boat, without even knowning it xD. Fin and his Ukrainian sidekick Alfonz manage to survive, only for Fin to be late to his own devorce. Throw in a rich guy with yacht, a daughter who redefines the words “Air head” and “Bimbo”, and things just snow ball from there in search of treasure!

Oh man, it brings backs some memories, I really miss Florida about now…

Something wrong? Why would anything be wrong? We just had sex in a church – and we’re not even married – and now we’re gonna dig up a grave! I mean, what is that, like a triple sin? I’m surprised we haven’t been struck by lightning.

How crazy can you get? >_>

Installed DF:BHD & patched it yesterday, to pass some boredom. About halfway to 2/3 through it, and I’ve noticed that it has become buggy as heck lol.

So far I’ve had…

  • Random crashes, maybe AI or Geometry related
  • Fell though a solid wall — wow
  • the shotgun has become a paper weight; give me a M9

One thing that both pleased, and pissed me off… in the mission to night-sneak into a building a few blocks down, without being detected. I kept perfect stealth until the AI decided to “take point”, walk into the light, and get us shot at lol.

The AI also can’t cover worth crap.

Two irksome things on one mission, about to drop down a hole and one of the NPC shouts, “think we should flash’em?”, and the PC replys, “Hell YES”. I had already dropped my flash before the exchange, and guess what — I drop down, the bang landed in their faces and nothing worked ^_^

The auto-reload on weapons dry, and auto-reload on ammo-box pick up is also as annoying as I remember. When the gun goes dry, ya don’t reload – you draw a pistol and keep movin’ but, I guess the developers never thought about that. Stumbling over an ammo-box and nearly dying, because you are suddenly stuck reloading a CAR-15 in a shoot-out ain’t nice either ^_^

git rules, cvs drools

by

Hmm, after a using git for all of my stuffs these past few days…..

CVS can go rot in hell, someone actually wrote a real system 😉

As much as I try to keep my OpenBSD box lean & mean, git is fairly light on runtime dependencies: 

Terry@vectra$ cat /var/db/pkg/git-1.5.6.4/+REQUIRING                            
libiconv-1.12
p5-Error-0.17009
curl-7.18.2
rsync-3.0.3

libiconv is required by other things I use, and I believe gettext depends on it, and a lot of stuff uses gettext lol (uh, almost everything). curl and rsync are also useful to have around, and rsync I actually would want installed anyway (just in case I need it someday). So really, there is no serious dependency issue from it, since OpenBSDs standard git package doesn’t include the TK gui tools like FreeBSDs does. TBH, although I usually keep tcl/tk on my development systems, I never use tcl or tk-bindings. And I really have no desire to use any git front ends, nor gitk/git-gui for that matter.

Using git after getting used to living with CVS for so long, I can’t help but wonder….. why the **** anyone uses CVS anymore. Even Subversion is easier to live with then CVS, but not always a fun thing to install/manage at times, ‘least it is well documented (and tirival for cvs users to pick up hehe).

git… simple, effective, fast, and not brain damaged.

Finally…. I got some sleep.

Skipped the computer totally, set the TV to something good (Aliens hehe), and succeeded in mission plan…. be snoring before 0100R. Woke up around 0900, then went back to bed until 1300 since it was a day off work hahahaha.

Now I feel like running a marathon…
