Yeah, I actually started at day one w/pictures off b/c, although I think it's the pictures isa really cool feature, I just discovered I didn't like the little squares flying all over the screen—it just felt like it took something away from the graphics & the game by giving it a slight cheese factor w/those pictures floating around that I didn't feel w/them off.  There have been a few times where I've wished I knew for sure who was who in a game, but I can't say that happens often or that it ever really matters.  On the rare occasions when it does, I just quick pause & go to settings & turn pictures on, then right back off after I figure out who is who (I've probably felt the need to do that about a dozen or so times).  Then, of course, since I don't use pictures on i figured I ought not fly w/an avatar myself, either.  I was really glad Brin added the final screen of info so I could then know who was who in case someone was up to any kind of douchebaggery during the match, since before that it was impossible to know. 

I have to admit I've never related to nor understood all the little tiffs people have about not playing w/a certain forum standard of wing waves & all the other things that have evolved b/c it was never possible for me to be involved I'm any of it, & I was always glad for that.  None of this is to say I care about how people fly or meet up & hang out & play randomly in matches pictures or not, none of the preferences bother me, I just prefer my own preferences . . . .

I had to re-position the controls a few times to get them were I like them, but once I figured that out it's been much smoother sailing.  I play w/my iPad flat on the floor or is on the stairs w/it on my knees so I don't have to hold it & I use both my index fingers.  One on the move stick & the other for the fire button.  I have the fire button 2 or three inches over from the left & I use the area to the right of it to look around w/my right index finger, & when it's time to shoot I move it to the red button near the center & once your on the fire button u can still move ur finger around to look around while u fire if u want to, until u lift ur finger back up to stop firing.

Yeah, M6, you do sound like an idiot.  I'm sorry, got to say it, though.  What the hell is the price of rice in China anyway . . . you know?

I noticed recently that there are new flavors of whiskey on the market.  IDK, maybe it's not that new since I haven't been drinking for about 4 or even 5 years or so, but Jack Daniels has honey flavored, & Jim Beam has black cherry & another one that is cinnamon flavored.  I like cinnamon a lot so I got some of the Beam cinnamon flavored & it is really good, w/a really mild hint of cinnamon favor.

HOORAY for Germy!!  He's finally manned up & started playing like a man w/the men!!  He used to be called out regularly as a true douche bag, & I still recall thinking, "That Germy guy is a filthy player, he picked a good name for himself!!"

Yeah, Shawn, like J33R I always play pretty much the same.  In fact I can't remember the last time u either didn't know u were playing me or I didn't tell u afterwards anyways to see I play the same . . . or I think once or twice I turned my mic on to say hello, GG, at the end, something I almost never do b/c w/the iPad 4 (like the iPhone 5) once u turn ur mic on the game stays muted even when u turn it back off.  So I have to be either really pissed at someone or really want to say hi, GG, if I'm going to turn my mic on even for a few seconds, b/c I have to close & restart the whole AW app to get my volume back afterwards.

Someone else here jumped into Trigger Fist, too, but I'm not sure it worked out for them.  I think it was EFM Ed or Edsley Ed, not sure which Ed.  I just jumped in & started playing w/o caring at all after going through the tutorial & didn't take it seriously at all at first not expecting anything.  Just figured it'd be fun if I could at least kill a few other guys.  That seemed to help instead of taking it all really seriously, trying to figure out everything, investigating it all, before really playing, then being disappointed at how hard it was.  I just went in knowing it'd be hard but would come together, & it helped.  If you need any advice or info on how things work (some of it takes a bit to figure out), just let me know & I'll PM you.

NOTE:  Trigger Fist isn't as "multiplayer" as it seems at first.  For one it plugs in a computer generated player if someone's connection craps out & they leave, or in place of players that aren't filled, etc.  In the long run it hasn't mattered to me the longer I play: although I would much rather be playing real people, I honestly cannot tell the difference b/n the computer generated players & the real players.  It's actually pretty freakin' amazing!!  Still, there's a massively different feeling of accomplishment when you know you beat another human & not just the computer.  Now that I've been forced to think about the AI players & how much it's like playing real people & that I can't tell the difference, I really am freakin' amazed!!  How in the hell can a programmer do that so well?  I understand making the game to a degree, but making a bunch of stand-in players that play that game completely differently & randomly every time, & just like regular people, to the point where you can't tell the difference . . . it's kind of freaky, science fiction-like almost, computers that can actually think or something.  I'm going to play a game right now!!

Ouch, you don't want to argue w/the hot chick.  The best thing to do---& for the target here to do as well---is to just try not to say & do things that make you a "target."  Get out of the "target" category by not doing or saying targetey things.  Some people can't help being targets, I know, & it can also be really difficult not to fire at a target just a little bit here & there when it pops up, wide open for business, & all but asking for it.  But when a target comes out in camo & refuses to trip, dance, spin & twirl around out in the open drawing attention to itself, then it ceases to be a real target anymore.  Does Jun get shot at ever, for just one out of many, many good examples here?  No!!  He doesn't post in ways that ultimately cause people to see red & white concentric circles painted all over himself.
