sparing the gun

Recommended Posts

i'm nothing if not open to new experiences, this morning I thought 'let's see what all the fuss is about, where is the pleasure to be found in exercising restraint?'

there is of course only one way to find out.

 

I had blood thanks to the vast medical stash I found on the off roader, I also had a mk48 mod and 4 mags, all I needed was to find some mug to do me the favour.

 

it wasn't a long wait

 

facing the airstrip through the hangars, I was behind the wrecked vehicle stocking up on loot when a player crouch walked past the gap at the runway end, from left to right.

he paused about halfway across and he could definitely see the dead hero but I don't think he saw me because he switched to a hatchet and continued on his way.

 

I took the parallel path behind the back of the hangar at full sprint, I peeked around and waited. he didn't appear. Then I heard aggro coming from inside the hangar.

 

 

Listen, i'd love to tell you that I had this plan that involved holding this guy up and after disarming him I get him to blood me, we decide we can get the off roader fixed up in no time, it only needs a fucking wheel to get it going then we can hit the docks and make her like new. Maybe take her down to elektro and play ambulances for all the lunatics shooting chunks out of each other but this ain't no Frankie video.

 

I rounded the corner real slow in first person, he was swiping away at the zeds with the axe. I waited for him to deal with it although at one point I almost had to intervene as he was incapable of hitting the zeds and I feared they'd steal my kill. But to my relief he got there in the end.

 

he saw me and started to run. 'BANDAGE IDIOT' he stopped and the animation began, I immediately ran over and gave him blood.

he thanked me, I assured him he was safe as long as he dropped his weapons, he did.

 

me -'ok, do you have blood?'

him - 'yes, in my backpack gimme a sec'

me - 'nice one, there's an m4 at the bottom of the ladder at the ATC'

him - 'did you kill em?'

me - 'yes sir I surely did'

game - 'blood transfusion completed successfully'

him - 'i'm friendly'

me - 'I know'

him - 'ok, i'll check the bodies out, cheers for the blood'

me - 'fill yer boots'

 

off he scampered towards the ATC, I could tell he never took his eyes off me in 3rd person.

 

once he was out of sight I reloaded, I knew I didn't need to but I love the animation, more than that I wanted him to hear it. I waited until I thought he'd be about halfway to the tower and followed, he was running backwards, aggro again and of course, this time, he had no way of defending himself, I killed 3 zeds and picked up 4 or 5 more, I had just lost them behind the small shed next to the fuel tank when the first rounds came in.

 

Those of you who play this game for moments like this will understand just how great this feeling was, the adrenalin, that feeling of being in the moment, of time slowing down. it is without a doubt the finest gaming experience I have ever enjoyed, win or lose THIS is the prize.

 

the kill was unexceptional, he fired again as I made a run for the ATC.  bleeding i entered the building and bandaged next to the stairs while outside he was dealing with aggro. Once bandaged I ate some goat and drank a soda, hell, if i'm going to die i'll die on a full stomach.

 

about 45 seconds later he came running around the corner right into my sights and I pushed my left mouse button so fucking hard it stuck.

 

I sat back as the death message popped up and just enjoyed the sound and spectacle as the gun spent it's load, the recoil throwing the player all over the stairwell peppering the walls and filling the screen with dust and debris.

 

then I logged.

cant help but notice, you appear to be trolling the OP.

perhaps you aren't aware, I know some people don't realise when they're being trolls.

 

He isn't posting anything in the wrong place, you've explained that you don't like his stories, he has decided to ignore you but you keep turning up.

please let it go, it's starting to look a bit creepy.

I'm perfectly aware, thanks.

 

Others on here get away with trolling when they please, on a daily basis (contrary to popular belief), and I think I can partake in my fair share.

 

Also, it's an empty can of beans? So what? If that's considered trolling to you, well... talk about taking things too seriously. lmfao. Thanks for the downvote on my profile. Favor returned. :D

Translation: It's OK to be a douche as long as other people are being douches too.

 

It's never ok to troll, and your commentary should be catalyst for a ban, or at the very least an infraction.

Spongebob Nolan. I like it.

 

Ultimate face desk would make a pretty good super hero, actually. His power can be spazzing out about innocuous comments.

I liked this one....at least you didn't list traits you hate in the title then display them in the game :P Id like to see a story of you taking on a group alone....they are my favourite kind of encounters. I may even be guilty of opening fire a few times just because one of them had a bandit skin :)
