    I'd fucking love to man, but I just don't have the house to myself any more. I get too frustrated when I try and record and my housemate walks around, she makes one little sound and then spends half an hour apologizing loudly for making that sound.
     
     
    Shame, she's a lovely girl but intelligence just isn't her thing.

    Running on ultra with no issue. Game is gorgeous. I suck at driving, so I'm gonna need to practice that crap. Seems most of my deaths were due to someone in a tank. I guess I need to stay out of the street.
     
    Moment of glory that made it all worth it? I parachuted down to a lower building and took out two guys while doing it. DEATH FROM ABOVE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!
     
    There were a couple lag spikes, but nothing I cared about. Mostly I need to remap all the keys to my mouse. I'm okay with WASD movement, but the rest need to change. Especially run. The double-tap thingy doesn't work for me.
     
    Overall, I think think game is gonna be wicked once the full release comes out. If I can have a group of friends that play the same time I do, I will dump ridiculous hours into it.

    Is there an option for skill level: can't fucking shoot anything smaller than a blue whale? Cause that's the setting I need.

    I have no l33t graphix skillz. However, I would like to help spread the word so I'll keep an eye on this thread (or any others that have FG stuffs in them). I intend to search high and low (mostly low, as that's where my kind of people hang out) for a large, solid group of people to play BF4 with me. My plan will be to lead them here and never let them leave. Once Stockholm syndrome sets in, we're golden.

    Although I'm the new guy, I thought I'd add a couple things. These are only my opinions, so do with them what you will.
     
    Regarding YouTube, I wouldn't count on earning any money from it (at least not for awhile). I believe it's ridiculously hard to get enough views to drive a check from YT. One of my gaming friends has three times the viewers I have, way more hits, and hasn't seen a penny. Certainly, I wouldn't discourage YT. In fact, I really want to boost my channel and get it active again. YT and videos are way fun. I'm just saying that it probably won't earn income.
     
    The ads might work (never had a site with Adsense, but it sounds a lot easier to earn money than with YT), but to drive legit clicks you'd need to bring people here with content. Content is king. I like the blog idea. It gives content, it would be constantly changing (hopefully), and I don't think they take a ton of programming to set up. Seems like there's lots of software to do it, and I know PowerBoard has their own module for it.
     
    For my money, I think the server idea would be the best way to get people here. Certainly, I'm looking for a BF4 server. Seems logical that lots of people will also want to find a good server and not just use random ones. If you have a server, people will also want to go to the forums to meet others on the server. Presto - new people becoming members and contributing.
     
    However, I know servers cost $$$. You may want to think about a donation page/button. Maybe some of the dedicated members can pitch in a few bucks each month. May not cover all your costs, but it would help. Ultimately, and this is just my opinion, I wouldn't do anything that you can't afford to do on your own. I'd figure out how much you're willing to spend each month just because you want to do it. That way, you're not going to be upset if the money doesn't start coming in.

    tommy290 reacted to Drifter in Smoke free !   
    I had not thought about this lately till I spoke to a friend in Co tonight whom had his left lung removed because of cancer (from smoking) and yet get this, he STILL smokes even during chemo and radiation treatments (yeah I gave him hell for that ) anyway that conversation made me think of something I have not even thought of recently about myself....
     
    3 more weeks and it will be two and a half years since I quit smoking! I still remember posting on the old MW2 forum about the week I quit   Hard to believe it's been over two years! Outside of quitting drinking (recovering alcoholic) quitting smoking was the best decision I ever made.
