Let's remember some GJ guys

Cheese Grits...

Dude actually banned me because I tried my first ever real life plate of cheese grits while visiting Florida and hated them. Seriously. He was a cool dude though.

PhlatPhive: Dutch guy who was into Latin/acoustic stuff, great fella, wonderful sense of humour
Gopher666: hard rocker (I think) from Norway, I sent him a copy of The Art Of War that I had bought in Norwegian by accident - he was very thankful, lost some friends at the Breivik attacks
Requiem156: Nice guy from Portland, Maine who owned a couple of Parker Flys if I'm not mistaken, had a very varied taste in music
ChuckyBB: easy-going chap from Philadelphia, I think, spent some time in London, spoke to him on the phone a couple of times
Faber: Even though he was the only other Dane at GJ we never interacted much, I don't even know what music he liked
Taylorman: Soft-spoken British Indian who liked early Springsteen, very nice and gifted guy
Motorik: he's around but gets honourable mentions for unknowingly inspiring me to pick the topic for my master's thesis, earned me a PhD scholarship, that I turned down in favour of a job :embarrassed:
Strings74: light-hearted NYC lawyer, I don't think he listened to anything else than Iron Maiden
r0g3r (sp?): we had nothing in common, agreed on nothing but got along fine, was always nice to me
Brocktoon: he knew bands that were so obscure even the band members themselves didn't know about their own existence, beat him once in Company of Heroes and we never played again :embarrassed:
Abrasion: not the loudest bloke but he was quite witty and liked teh br00dlz
tamore (sp?): boy did we argue, that was at the time I did my divinity degree, New Atheism was a thing and I just couldn't help myself (sorry, guys! :embarrassed:), was never ugly though, a true gent
Mo: actually him and I agreed on very little except the joys of curry but we just always got along so well, we were friends on FB until I stopped using it and closed my profile a few years later, miss him

Good times!

*old wave smiley they don't have here*

I barely played CoH with live opponents. I enjoyed the strategy but found it way too fast-moving to the point that it was legitimately stressful. :embarrassed:

Oh hai! Indeed, it was not relaxing at all! :embarrassed: Generalfeldmarschall von Motorik and I played that game so much that I often had nightly flashbacks of screaming infantrymen, flying limbs and PANZER ELITE NAZI ZOMBIES invading my neighbourhood while chanting GERMAN STEEL and looting our stock of LAGER BEER :embarrassed:

I think OUR CoH sessions delayed my PhD completion by a full year. :embarrassed:

I used to see it in my head as I was going to sleep.

PANTHUH PANZER

PRIDE OF THE FATHERLAND!

Valuable research! :embarrassed:

Someone made an excellent 'The Great War 1918' mod that I think you'd have liked. It was based on the factions from the vanilla game with the same level of micro-management, equally detailed and well-balanced, but at a slower pace, and with British units and voice acting replacing the US Army. The casualty rate per minute was much higher than in the original, and a single player skirmish on a small map could easily take an hour. I never got to try it online though.

Probably a good thing it wasn't released back when we played as I'd fear we might both have lost any touch with real life. :embarrassed:

There are Mark Vs, Whippets and these big boxy German A7V ones that I had to look up on wiki. But it's more about mortars and artillery.

You can watch a full game here:



There's a lot of infantry, well, until there suddenly isn't :embarrassed:
