I remember when I was younger, playing Battleship or something, and along with my firends we would throw our arms up in the air and fall to the side and so on, therefore reenacting an explosion on one of our ships.

So the question is: Have you ever made like Star Trek and went flying aross the room (which would be more dramatic than how I used to do it) when an explosion ripped through one of your really key ships? If not that, then did you at least scream an AIIIEEEE!!! ?

For me, at least as far as this game goes, I haven't lost any ships key enough yet, [:D] but I think my AIIIEEE machine might break out at any moment. I guess you have to be an Allied fan boy, playing the Jim Kirk Enterprise getting hit to really have the authentic experience here.

P.S. If you play with the combat animation on, and adding to the explosions and gunfire with your own voiced booms and bams, you need some help!

Nope, I haven't advanded past yelling abuse at the screen, but I might try your suggestion and try throwing my hands up in the air, or better still "Simulate" an explosion, just as they did in "Lost in Space" and run from one side of the room to the other.[:D]

Yeah, well you could at least throw your arms in the air and fake fall out of your chair.

Hmm, now why is it after all my Lost in Space viewing over the years I recall the Star Trek authentic explosion reaction and not the Lost in Space ones? Maybe LiS didn't have enough ship explosions to make me remember it.

I often find myself re-enacting an Admiral Halsey inspired rage when I see what the AI is doing to my clever planning.

So that would be kind of like when the robot went mad in LiS, or when Spock got hyper-emotional and almost beat the captain to shishkabob.

B-17 had some really good flak sounds with the subwoofer on..if you have a second machine you could run concurrently.

When and "IF" I capture Jap bases, I find myself chanting along..."hooray hooray" [&o]

Anyone ever play with the little plastic games you could order from the back of comic books? Had game pieces held togeather with rubber bands so they would "explode" then hit??? Might very well have been one of my first forays into a lifelong love of wargames. [:D][:D][:D]

Well, I used to build my model planes and ships with firecrackers inside them. After I got enough of them, I would enact wargames in the sandbox. Poured a little extra glue over top of them, would soak a few paper airplanes in kerosene and kamikaze them. I recall that it was very satisfying...

VERY angry when TWO Iawo Clas sBB's went down... choice words and all, that bitter pill lasted about a week.. In all I had three different MAJOR BB FUBARS, thuse the title of our next AAR... Zeta16 may not win , but he sure is kicking the asses off my BB's! So to answer the origonal ?, yes... screaming painful pulling out of hair

i think i have posted this before, but i have had my wife coming running into the room after i screamed "NNNNOOOOOOOOO" when 3 carriers showed up to spoil my invasion plans after preping and everything for a month (yes, that IS real time)...oh well, i didn't really need that division anyway.

my wife just called me a geek and walked out. which was doubly bad because a week later i fell out of my chair and hurt my back and she did not come to help
