All right, maybe this one time.

I've got a strange feeling, that this decision was not good...

Post by: TurboNed on May 08, 2002, 06:32:57 am: What kind of stupid moron pilot would send his helicopter through a course like that? He's just asking for it to crash! This game is stupid. It's nothing like reality. It's lame. It's horrible.

Yeah, I couldn't break 1,000 either.

*edit* nevermind, got 1143, WOOHOO!

hehe, I stopped playing for a while, and when I went back to it, forgot how to work it. I clicked and started it, then proceeded to press up, and wondering why my helicopter was plunging towards the ground.

Regarding its realism, the first thing that crossed my mind was that my helicopter was falling when I did not thrust it up, but the obstacles did not seem to be affected at all by gravity. :p

All games aren't realistic. :headz:

Also, I guess you know that 38*38=1444, and you didn't count it. I somehow guess so. ;)

Kind of like what I call Lemmings physics, where gravity only affects certain things. :D The game is quite good though; simple, but fun.

Ok, sure, so you can do difficult maths. But a mind needs to be more than logical to survive. Just a bit of thinking, and you would realise that the obstacles are attached to a black wall, so they look like they're hovering, but they're not. DUH! :p
...You're right about the lemmings though...

Post by: CP5670 on May 08, 2002, 01:28:01 pm: That was actually the first explanation I thought of, but it would indeed be a strange cave in which such large rocks are suspended between two walls in the formation of the cave and do not fall off when a helicopter crashes into them. :p

Who said it was a cave? They're called green pixels...
(If I'm wrong, it's because I've never played the game yet, m'kay?)

You think it's easy flying a radio-controlled helicopter into somebody's head.

Post by: Fineus on October 12, 2003, 04:38:43 am: And I'm disturbed.

Knew about the game, but noticed that the pier in the header image looks familiar. It's Brighton pier - about 20km east of my house, but that's not the point... I got to reading the site (well it *is* all about life where I live apparently) and suddenly got to the guys (Duncans) report of a massive RC helicopter crash that killed someone locally... I guess I do miss things while away on holiday after all, the story sounds tragic as well :(
