Ah, another slightly amusing thing...
(Probably more amusing to me than anyone else, but hey...)


This happened yesterday:

I was creeping about in VersaLife, concocting a Cunning Plan whereby I could slaughter almost all of the troopers and MiBs and hapless scientists in one fairly fell swoop (involves a lot of LAMs and HE rounds... I'm getting addicted to those things, I swear), and just as I was about to knock the whole place on its ass, I acccidentally got scoped by an MJ12 goon when I peeked out of the vent a wee bit too soon.

"I've got a bogey, here!" quoth the MJ12 goon.

Without thinking, I blurted out "A bogey?! You've got more than a bogey here, me old beauty. You've got the King Bogey."
;)


<small>And then I heaved a White Phosphorous GEP round into the locker room. That made them take notice. Ah, how they ran around trying to spot I, setting off LAMs as they went.

Easy mop-up after that. A few lurking troops in the breakroom, and the commando in the big hall jumped me (gotta love the Aggressive Defence aug: Buddy blew himself and one of his trooper chums right up)

KA-BUMP!

Hallo.
Remember me?
:)

I'm now playing it again (probably my 8th or 9th time) after around 8 months or so of not playing it at all.

And, as I was when I started this thread, I'm back in Hong Kong again.
About to clean out Versalife, actually (I just love the noise those MiBs make when the EXPLOAD!!@@)

But.
BUT.

My word, this is an ass-kicker of a game, isn't it?

See, this time I've been playing with a couple of cheats on, so I can vary up my style, have lots of fun. Since I know the game inside-out in terms of plot and objectives and whatnot, I need to do something to keep it fresh and amusing.
So I gave myself a full set of augs at the beginning, vowing only to use them for Great Mischief.

So, there I was in Battery Park's subway, about to get attacked by Navarre (no I didn't cap her shiny metal ass on the jet this time)...
Long story short, we exchanged words, we exchanged gunfire, we both took some serious damage.
She vanished, I ran behind a pillar and cloaked.
And we spent a couple of minutes wandering around invisible and trying to stalk each other. \o/

That was fun.
Then I saw my crosshairs go red and I put a shotgun round in her.

Hrhhm.
Then Gunther the Asshoel arrestz0red meh. >:|

:D

So yeah.
Now I'm back in front of the Versalife building. Been in twice before. Got the blade info uploaded to Tong, went in the back way to trash the UC.
Now I'm standing at the front doors again, quicksave in hand, about to go in and get all Matrix on their asses int he main lobby.

I really recommend making a save at this point and replaying this little bit over and over, it's crazy fun.
Elevator doors open, security guard freaks out, MJ12 Commando goes apeshit, security starts pouring down those little stairs.
This is exactly where 20mm round shine. Or the autoshotgun. :)

Then it's upstairs to murder everyone else, then down to the labs to sit in ventilation shafts and wing rockets, LAMs, and HE rounds at passing goons. \o/

I love this game.
:D

It's strange how it gives so much satisfaction to make a bizarre kill in VersaLife. I have this habit to perform a "death from above" kill when running out from the VL building first time. My target, who shall meet his death from above, is the security guard next to elevator leading back to Wan Chai Market. Now this is how it goes:

I'm in the third floor, the receptionist and her desk are below me, so I'm facing my target. I put my speed aug on and jump down, landing to the desk. Now I immediatly jump second time and shoot the the security guy, preferably with a shotgun, in the head, while still in the air. Five seconds later I'm in the elevator, one guard is dead, and others are like "WHAT the HELL just happened?!?" (or at least so I imagine their reactions). Oh the satisfaction I get when it goes right!

Yes, I know I'm sick...

I would very nearly bet my life that nobody who's started playing games in their pre-teens and kept going, would never stop playing games. :cheeky: I know I probably won't, games aren't the sort of things you grow out of anymore.:joke:
