First day with part-time tutoring work. Realize it's not had time to disseminate about the campus and things will likely pick up next go, but... I apparently just got paid to spend a half hour designing flyers and doing a little organization and two and a half hours reading fanfiction, waiting for no one to show up. Little bit of homework sprinkled about. Odd way to spend an afternoon.

Not the lounging around reading fanfiction, mind. That's a fairly normal afternoon. Just getting paid for it.

I understand that wholeheartedly.  I work as a lab assistant at my college, basically I get paid to sit around and read forums all day.  Still feels strange to get paid for it, even after nearly a year.

But it'd be hilarious.
You could even secretly record the shenanigans and share it with your dear friends here at Bay12.

Unrelated- my mom's boss wants me to play Day Z with him so he doesn't get PKed so frequently. The request came more or less out of the blue, I don't talk to the guy or know him on a personable level. I'm loath to imagine (yet cackling nervously) what might happen if I went and PKed him after a bout of play, which is why I plan not on taking him up on the offer.

Why on earth did i picture him as being J. Jonah Jameson talking to Peter Parker?


"PARKER GET IN MY OFFICE!"

"THESE ASSHOLES KEEP PKING ME IN CHERNO, HELP!"

This is why I keep coming back here, dear Armok was that laugh good.

Golden. Except that it wasn't about getting sniped by a bushwookie watching Elektro from the sniper pines on the north hill. 

[Frumple]

... bushwookie? Would that be, like, a grass type jawa? And... Elektro...?

I don't see the resemblance between Chewbacca and a sand-midget.

A bush-wookie is a person wearing a ghillie suit. The suit tends to bear a resemblance to our favourite walking carpets.

Not too sure about Elektro though.

[Descan]

Elektro is one of the two cities, the other being Cherno. They're short for Elektrosadmuffin and Chernobagsalad.

Electrozavodsk, one of the cities in ArmA 2/DayZ.

Bushwookie. Wookie that is like a bush. Green wookie midget. Grass type jawa.

But ah, I see the resemblance.

Though, to reiterate:

Battlefield 5: Tatooine Edition.

I'unno man, the thought of running around as a Jawa teabagging people and shouting racial slurs against the Hutt is oddly appealing.

Illumination! So is the Electra insinuation intentional or...?

_{also good gods this post is more quote than post}

I see what you did there.

Also, this thread is totally on the verge of needing to be posted in the Happy Thread, the laughs are too much.

Wtf? This went in the wrong thread! Jeeze! I am being such a spazz today.

[Flying Dice]

Ahaha! xD

But yes, it's almost sad how reliable it is. If you join a server and people are complaining about getting sniped just after spawning, you've got a pretty decent chance of getting a free full kit if you sneak up on that group of pines from behind. They get so tunnel-visioned picking off unarmed players that you can probably even get away with not stutter-stepping. :|

[Flying Dice]

There are only two ways to move silently in ArmAII (and thus DayZ): rolling (going prone and using your lean buttons) and stutterstepping (slowly tapping your W key to move forward single steps). It helps because a lot of people will have stereo headsets, so any footstep noise will give you away to alert players.

But yeah, the ArmAII interface is unabashedly shit in a lot of ways, especially the inventory. That was one of the few places where the DayZ standalone was a clear improvement.
