Although I haven't been creating video updates lately, I've been playing Steel Battalion: Line of Contact a little more then average lately. For the past week or so, I've been playing every night with Lt. Louis, TheBestMaster (Kyle), D.A.V., Tempress, and others, but tonight put a quick halt on the insane amounts of LOC madness.

As I was dodging Lt. Louis' sniper fire, I heard a small snap in my foot-pedal block. I figured a torsion spring had broken (a minor and fairly common problem), so I kept on playing. In the next battle, however; the problem proved to be much more serious. I slammed down my sidestep as I had done thousands of times before, but this time my pedal didn't come back up. After ejecting, I look down to find my pedal completely severed right in the middle of the plastic. My pedal had just had it. My broken pedal.

Assuming I can still order replacements, I will call Sammy (the maker of the controller) tomorrow to order new pedals and a left block (a long overdue replacement). It should cost me about $80+shipping. In the meantime, I'll attempt to switch the brake and sidestep pedal. So, obviously, no LOC for at least a few days. :( I think the fact that I can't play will make me want to play more and drive me insane. This just sucks.
