Morning Discussion: Festivus Edition
by Alice O'Connor, Dec 23, 2010 5:00am PSTHas it been a whole year already? After months of build-up and anticipation, the biggest celebration of the year is here--today is Festivus.
So we here at Shacknews Towers can celebrate Festivus, and any other festivities that might happen to be coming up soon, we're not really going to be posting much news over the next few days. Besides--you'll be away from your computer yourself, won't you?
However, we will return on Monday with our picks for the Best Video Game Thing and/or Stuff of the year. The votes are in, and it almost ended in a not-safe-for-work gruesome fight, but we have ultimately decided that we did indeed respond favourably to a number of video games this year. We'll let you know which next week.
In the meantime, enjoy today, tomorrow, the day after that and, heck, the rest of your life.

This is from a Domination game I played earlier this morning on the TAW.net server. The video is fairly long so here are some highlight times in case you are somewhat sane and don't want to watch the entire thing. Warning: I am still pretty sucky at ArmA.

1:45 - I parachute into the AO.
10:30 - I attempt to take control of an enemy tank. I am eventually defeated by my own team, as they thought I was a bad guy.
15:30 - I parachute into the AO again.
19:45 - I board a Chinook as a passenger and my pilot attempts to transport a vehicle to the AO. We're eventually attacked by an enemy chopper and he ends up crashing as he attempts to land.
38:00 - I respond to a request for an Apache gunner and blow shit up good.
49:00 - The Apache has taken beating at this point. We return to base for repair.
54:00 - The Apache pilot admits he has been flying with only a keyboard and we switch places. We chase down some air targets until the server crashes and my video ends.
