So I was playing Planetside earlier this evening, and was in voice chat. More or less straightforward fighting. We cap a base, and it starts to get zergy. One guy, I’ll call him shit Freak, decided Planetside was so important he didn’t want to go afk to take his evening dump, so he takes his laptop INTO THE BATHROOM and we all have to hear him squeezing out this monster boulder of a turd on voice chat. This is how it went down-
Shit Freak: “Oh man I gotta go to the bathroom…”
Squad Leader: “We’ll cover you until you get back”
SF: Nah don’t worry about it I’ll just take the laptop in the bathroom
Other people: uhhh…snickers
SF: HURRRRRRRRRRRRR! HNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG! Oh god its gigantic! Ag shit its like getting ripped in two
Angry Player: WHY ARE YOU SHARING THIS WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD?!
SF:HURRRRRRR…suddenly there is this very loud noise, kind of like an explosion or the sound of a bowling ball dropped in a swimming pool
SF: I’m okay I’m okay…I’m just gonna…SNIK CRACK SLAM OH SHI- at this point the guy disconnected. I think he had the laptop on his lap while he was making dookie, and when he stood up to see his handiwork the laptop slid off and broke on the floor.
I know, tell me about it. Talk about crass. Well, since his laptop probably broke trying to play the game while doing a #2, I think he got what he deserved. :mad:
This is true. And a brand shiny new Dell could run Planetside… but I dunno about the reliablity of wireless at the speed needed for the game. Still, this poor man just shredded three grand in one dump.
I wish. And yeah, some Dell laptops can run this game fine. My best friend plays the game on a Laptop with a wireless Linksys node and gets good pings. I, too have a wireless network from which I play the game. I’ve experimented with using the ethernet cable over the wireless connection (when it was acting up one day) but found no difference in gameplay.
I think the portability of the Dell connected to the wireless router with cordless mic encourages some players (like Shit Freak) to make it a point to be as lazy as possible…God knows what else he does while playing the game…:eek:
I like the game, its been addictive for me. Though for some people, it can get repetitive. This isn’t EverQuest- Its 3 factions fighting each other over continents and capturing bases/towers over and over. Tactics/game balance have been slowly improving since launch, but a lot of people still want more improvements for what they pay.
