Turok, And Bad Things To Say...

...or maybe that should be like, bad words and stuff to say.

I'm a whole lot closer to 55 than I really like to be, so I have amassed quite a, uh, er... "Cuss word" vocabulary. And with all that practice I can string several together to make a passable sentence.

But, this "Spider Tank" has made me use up all I know and then some.

It's probably not my fault. I am too good to keep losing like that. It must be the controller. Yeah, that's it. I need a new controller.

Anyone have any tip(s) they want to recommend? I mean besides take it back and get a real game.

Actually, as a shooter goes, it is not bad. Just the way I like them. Storyline is even passable. And they assembled a pretty good cast for the voiceovers.

So, yeah, if ya got a tip you could pass on, PM me so a spoiler doesn't accidently get posted.

Yeah, right. I get to have a "Spoiler" and no one else can. hmmm... That don't sound right, somehow.

Oh yeah, just in case. I've already heard that the font size I use "MAY" seem to be seen as disruptive.

I use this font size because that is the size that my eyes can see the easiest with. That little .025 font size that is the default in the forums is not something I can see.

I could use my readers and lay on the table with my nose four inches from the screen or I could go out and spend five-hundred on un-needed bi-focals. Or I can use the twelve point font size.

Gamespot did give us that option to use, so I don't see anything about that size (or any other) as being "disruptive."

Maybe me saying "that ain't being disruptive" is being disruptive...

Someone will probably help me out. Yeah...

Hey, Liam. thanks. I appreciate it!

Yeah, what with all that's going on and all the things I cannot do, gaming is an outlet. Something to do when the days just drag by. And without the consoles (Xbox, XBox 360, Gamecube, and PSP) my next choice is TV. Regular TV sucks. If it wasn't for the Old Lady, I wouldn't be hooked up to DirecTV. Can't stand TV.

But, oh, I do love my movies. And watching "Ahnold" blow something up, it is magnificient on the 55" Hitachi HD plasma.

But, watching movies can also get old. So between gaming, movie watching and a nap here and there, I can make it through the day.

Again, thanks!

Jacob,

Sup?

Five times? I wish. I spent days on it until I got lucky. I tried to jump out from around a corner after a shot from the tank, shoot and duck back in. I lost. I tried going under the thing on the left and lost. I tried going head on, and lost.

I lost a lot. Sometimes I think that there is "something: built into games that if you cannot make it past a certain point, then it gets "easier" for you to do what your supposed to be getting done. Just sometimes.

And I guess, because my hands don't work as well as they used to, I get clumsy on button mashing, so that is part of my problem.

I've never gave up, tho. I spent some cash on these things, so I can never give up. Sometimes I'll leave it alone for a while (whether it's a day or a month) and come back to it to try all over again. But, I eventually make it.

And I made it on the tank yesterday. Cool!

It does look like it is going to get rougher as time goes by considering I am on the Eel Boss. Aggravating.

But yeah, all you can do is keep trying.
