almccoyjr 7 Posted February 1, 2011 Coming out of the sun on the the Baron's 2 o'clock when he sees me and does a various impressive jink towards me. I start to counter by throttling back, killing one mag and starting a "snap" roll along with right rudder to re-correct my position as he attempts to cut under me when my right foot slips off the pedals hitting something sharp on the side of the pc case. Remember to wear something that will protect your little toe. It'll save you a pilot and time cleaning the tears off of the keyboard and stick. GOD *&^$*($&$^*%(%*$&%*%*( did that ever hurt. plug_nickel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullethead 12 Posted February 1, 2011 Remember to wear something that will protect your little toe. It'll save you a pilot and time cleaning the tears off of the keyboard and stick. GOD *&^$*($&$^*%(%*$&%*%*( did that ever hurt. Sorry, but I can't help but laugh Many years ago, I was in the middle of an online furball in Air Warrior. I was staring intently at my monitor and saw something cross in front of me from right to left at high speed and close range, so I automatically turned hard left to follow it. But it continued on past the edge of my screen, still visible, This is when I realized that the thing wasn't in the game, it was in the room with me, so I turned my head for a better look and discovered it was a sparrow. But before I could even digest this, the cat came tearing along after the sparrow, claws out for improved traction, right across both my forearms, which were still on my stick and throttle . The sparrow flew into the window where it tried to beat its way through the glass fairly high up, meanwhile spraying guano about. The cat leapt from my arms to high up the curtain beside it, where she swung like a monkey on a vine, tearing the curtain to bits with 3 sets of claws while swiping at the sparrow with the other, causing an increase in guano output. There was nothing for it but to declare an "in-cockpit emergency" and "bail out" of my flying chair before my room was destroyed. Order was not restored until much later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bullethead, your story is brilliant - I know exactly how the cat was looking! Edited February 1, 2011 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
