"So here is a look through my eyes at the SimHQ 2011 forum year.
It may not all make sense... but that's the cool part!"

now thats F'in funny... and good writing. GJ.

Awesome job Ajay! Was a fun good read man!

Fun read Ajay.

Freakinfunny. Loved the screenies especially.

Awesome job Ajay! This was milk shooting out the nose material for me "Just go to advanced setting and select the option to disable England"

I am very curious as to what games two of those screenshots come from?

1) What game is the one with the tank on its side amidst the tank traps?

2) Is that pic of the Typhoon getting shot at by the train from IL2? If so, I'm assuming with some after effects, right? It looks amazing.

Ah, that's a fun and funny article - plus it featured one of my screenshots (the T34 hung up on the tank trap)!

Yeah funny article!

Cheers

A great read. Very enjoyable. Thanks Ajay!

And I got the hots for the Typhoon pic too.

Congrats and thanks, Ajay! Great article.

The Typhoon shot is from Wings of Prey I think. It certainly looks like it.

Ten points to the guys who picked IL2 for the Typhoon I think the bloomy look threw ya Jedi Posted by PA_Willy HERE

Thanks for the kind words guys but Doug did the hard yakka editing and sorting out the format, i just bludegeoned up a bunch of paragraphs and scrambled together a bunch of shots

Have a good and safe new years

"disable England"...I love it.

Hilarious. Nice job!

* I'm taking offers on my awesome car. I'm tired of all the jealousy..

Ah, I made the error of assuming they were all unedited shots. WOP can look like that, Il-2 can't without work, so I didn't think it was Il-2.



The Jedi Master

Other than the post effects, what other graphic mods are running in that Typhoon shot? Just a tweaked config file, latest patches, and UP 3? Or is there some secret "makes the game look more awesome than you remember it being" mod....

DON'T HOLD OUT ON ME!

Great writing, absolutely loved it! Even if my impossible signature was not mentioned...

Oh well, next year I´ll restart it!

Wait...WHAT?


No Skyrim thread love? And what about the dragons?

DO-YOU-KNOW-SKYRIM-HAS-D-R-A-G-O-N-S?????????????




...and what about Bin Laden?



Did you know he's dead?

Fun read there mate

Great article.

"He's using Oleg's tears to cool the CPU and the heat from burning rage of the tormented unbelievers to overclock the graphics card"

Awesome stuff, very well done Ajay!

Aww, I didn't think my shirt was THAT cheesy!

Great read, and thanks for honoring me with the closing quote in that article.

Ajay, that's one of the funniest and most entertaining articles I've ever read on SimHQ.

Excellent work.

Thanks guys

Renic .. all in good fun mate and Navy, too me, that whole caffeine induced sentence sums up -in a weird -way the whole SimHQ factor.

Sorry Skyrimmers, i totally forgot about the whole Dragons thing , and Bin Laden..and Ghadaffi..and..

..and IMHO surprise of the year: BMS 4.32 :p
Beside that little omission, your article was perfect and quite entertaining

Brilliant stuff.

ROFLMAO! Well done, Ajay!

I'm hoping to be less calm and more wild-eyed in the coming year. Perhaps I should increase my coffee intake.

Cheers!

Rick...

That should make for some very interesting threads.


Wheels

Why drink coffee when there are things like Red Bull and Amp available?

I mean, if you're going to drink total crap, there are better flavors than "coffee" out there.





The Jedi Master

This was an excellent read, Ajay. I really enjoyed the little excursions you took us on and the sense of community the article engendered. You picked some great threads to drop in on and wrote the whole thing in a very entertaining way.

Well, there's another area where I'm way behind the times. I see that stuff in the coolers at Walmart and other places, but I've never had one. I'm still a coffee guy. And not the new-fangled drip stuff either. We have an old fashioned percolator.

I have to ask my eleven-year-old if I have techie questions. She'll patiently explain things like Kindles, Tablets, i-Pads, and that sort of stuff to me. She recently taught me what 4G was, though we don't have it here yet.

I think it's a karmic thing. My Dad used to call me to come over and program his VCR when he wanted to record a NASCAR race. I'd do it, but I'd say to my brother, "His generation won World War 2, but they can't program their VCRs!" We'd laugh and laugh.

Now I'm Dad.

Cheers!

Rick...

If it isnt gritty and doesnt taste like burnt dirt with a cows udder innards spilt on it or remind you of a hard day out fighting clowns armed with colt .45's in the middle of a desolate dry wind blown desert where you are so focused you can see every grain of sun smelted sand ..then it aint coffee.

Redbull and drinks similar aint got nothin on a throat searing real coffee. Give me ten red bulls and i'll show you ten dead clowns who thought they could take the crown.

Or you could just drink motor oil or Drano or something.

...they make the oil too thin these days for all the girly cars that collapse ...even with their 925 non fail sensors
