WANT TO KNOW THE STORY BEHIND WOMBAT MUNCHIES? Serving the LSU and surrounding areas...

Hi all FTF players... and welcome to those looking to hear about Wombat Munchies here at LSU.

*link removed*

To my players:
If you're wondering where I disappeared to, follow the link to find out what happened since I dropped off the face of the planet. Nefarius has kept the server and vent site up (THANK YOU!!!!) and it's still one of the few steady games left. If gamespy quits, then email me and we'll see about distributing an IP adress so you can direct log in, to either my computer or Nef's.

The game is still up - we had some problems with the new server but everything should be worked out now. Hope everyone has a great Christmas!

Sgt M'fer and crew were playing a sniper FTA a few days ago and surprise, surprise. guess who was able to take the high ground?

Yup, you guessed it. Kelsey has a way of finding the niftiest spots.

~Boo

2009-07-09T08:29:00.000-07:00

Sgt MF sent these in... Naderunner ran out of OPFOR. Most I've ever seen! The Sarge didn't have time to cap the other medal, though, but Naderunner got a 170 along with the exceptional unit citation.

Outstanding!

~Boo

2009-05-28T11:24:00.000-07:00

I ordered a microphone today! Yay!

~Boo

2009-05-26T14:22:00.000-07:00

I have an idea - let's play "pick the microphone" for Boo! If you have a mike you can reccomend, let me know. I've been too long without being able to speak and I have no idea what to get.

See you in the game!
~Boo

Pictures from Sgt. Muddafckr:

He hangs his kills up predator-style as a warning to OPFOR.
Yours truly in a grenade blast. Apparently I survived...

Thanks for the pics!

Welp, I've gotten a couple of comments from players, so I guess things are still alive! I'm still around and still playing...

I've been visiting family at the beginning of the month, and in the last two weeks have had a friend move in with me so that's cut into playing time also.

The server was down earlier this week but didn't contact Nefarius till now (my bad...) I think we should all email him and thank him for maintaining the game and the vent server! I bet he takes paypal, too. :)

nefarius at comcast dot net

I'll be in, but sporadically since I'm trying to finish up here at school. I'll see you in the game. OH - My microphone is still broken. Oh well.

~Boo

Hey all

No posts recently, but the game is still on. let me know if you really miss my posts and I can keep it going.

Striker checking the oil. Or something.
Off the map exploring.
Where the OPFOR get slaughtered by the tank.
Pretty normal, or so I thought.

Then I notice something... it's moving left to right, while the sky is right to left.
I ran toward it, but it's REALLY far away.
Finally get close, then I start following it to see where it goes - besides, I'm lost! I ran so far away from the map I can't see which way to get back.
Still running behind it.

It circles around every 10 minutes and 15 seconds. Next time you finish the level, be patient and stick around - maybe you'll see it too. I think sitting in the tank scares it away, tho. Sit outside and wait for it.

~Boo

The first level of Le'Toile - Naderunner sent some pics of me on top of the mosque.

And my view:

Notice I switched from SAW to sniper - I ambushed the sniper and took his rifle. Muahaha.

The view from the snipers roof.

The Imam cowering below me.

On top of the golden dome.

Hope everyone is having a good Christmas holiday! I'm gone for a while, but hopefully I'll be able to take breaks from the eggnog and keep posting pics.

Merry Christmas all!

Argh. Tree trimmers ripped my internet connection off the wall of my house yesterday. Not going to be able to get into the game until Saturday afternoon...

In other news - there is SNOW in New Orleans. Looked like well over an inch this morning, but it's been raining since then - so no snowmen for Boo. Lots of slush, tho. Craziness.

I'll try and post pics tomorrow.

~Boo

2008-12-08T05:34:00.000-08:00

Some shots of captured OPFOR.
This one wasn't worth dying for. Oops.
Three at once.
I ran out into the middle of the firefight to secure this one.

No, you gotta learn to type LESS.

~Boo

2008-12-02T09:51:00.000-08:00

Yay! The blog went over seven thousand hits!

Then I saw this...

AHHHH! I'm under attack! I think. Anybody know what's happening here? All the Monday hits came within fifteen minutes... WTF?
But I appreciate the hits - too bad I have no ads.

A couple of off-map explorations and some OPFOR-in-action shots:

Nading the sniper - never saw that before. Nice toss...
He surrendered, then decided to advance. Decisions, decisions.

Even I'm not crazy enough to go secure this one.

2008-10-10T13:36:00.000-07:00

I was wondering how many times we've been through the map recently. I checked to logs, and since 9/17 (22 days) we've been through the map 14 times. Y'all are a bunch of addicts. Almost all the turnovers occur between 10pm and midnight EST, except for 9/26 (1:30 pm), 10/5 (9am), and 10/9 (5pm). No wonder I keep seeing the same maps...

Anyways. Hope everyone is doing well. Got lots of new pictures from the cemetery level. Nefarius found an even MORE reliable glitch, and it's really easy to get to. I'll post them in a day or two.

~Boo

2008-10-07T06:42:00.000-07:00

The level before the hospital:

~Boo

2008-09-30T17:02:00.000-07:00

The level before the library: Striker showed me a way off the map, and Gomer showed us another method - which is, I think, the most reliable glitch in the game. Combine Kelsey's patented method for gaining altitude and my camera to get the following pictures:

Seizure inducing.

You know the bomb sound effects? Perhaps there are some places on the map you don't want to go to.

Boom. BOOM.

Tech alley.

BOOM. Oh yeah - don't step onto a roof from this high up. It's a long, long way down, and the roofs aren't solid. The pavement is still there, though.

The view from the secret room. In other news, there is a secret room. I found the door IN, but not the door OUT.

Ratatatatata.

Don't look down. At least, not if you're afraid of heights OR water.

Anyways. Hope you are all doing well. I got another medical bill today for about 120% of the remainder of my paycheck, after rent, insurance & utilities. Not food, tho- that is a luxury that I can't afford. Do I cut my 45$ internet bill, $49 for my cell, or drop my health insurance? ARGH. I think it's time to go play the game so I can forget about how I shouldn't have checked my mail.

~Boo

2008-09-20T10:22:00.000-07:00

Greetings, all

Sorry for the AFK but I lost power from 01Sept to 09Sept, and still don't have internet connected. Baton Rouge got really torn up by Gustav - including me. Still waiting for the landlord to come take a look at the tree in my roof. My ceiling was impaled directly above the head of my bed. I was bivouacing elsewhere, as the bedroom was a high risk area during a storm. After de-bunkering I returned to the homestead and lived comfortably in the 96% humidity and 95+ temps by candlelight. At least it's given me a chance to get rid of a lot of stuff.

Words of wisdom: when you are digging in at your bunker waiting for the worst case scenario, don't lock yourself out and have the only set of keys on the safe side of the wall. During the hurricane. Apparently surviving Murphy requires a little bit of luck.

Unfortunately, as I write this, the school has closed and sent us all home - tornados and gale force winds.

ARGH. I wish there were words to express my joy at my TOD here.

Wish me luck. One more hour and I get the heck outta dodge and back to the bunker.

Welp, I'm still injured. I went to a doctor this week that finally knows what she's talking about. YAY. Turns out this is going to take a long time to heal, so I won't be sitting down for at least the next several months. At least I know what's going on now... seems I have nerve damage, similar to what a long distance biicycle rider would get. ARGH.

Sucks to be me.

Anyways, I'll still be in the game occasionally.

Gunny Sergeant--Straight Talk

Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2008 19:41:52 -0700 For the few of you who missed him, R. Lee Ermey is the host of The History Channel's 'Mail Call' and played the Drill Instructor in the movie 'Full Metal Jacket.' He is a retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant and a very plain speaker, as you will soon read. So, for your entertainment, here is Retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant R. Lee Ermey at his first press conference. The main topic of discussion is a Marine in Iraq who shot an Iraq insurgent to death. We pick up as the reporter asks about 'how this potential war crime will affect our image in the world':

Ermey: 'WHAT KIND OF A PANSY-ASSED QUESTION IS THAT?'

Reporter 1: 'Well I think....'

Ermey: 'THINK, FANCY BOY?! GET THIS THROUGH THAT SEPTIC TANK ON TOP OF YOUR SHOULDERS, MORON: I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT YOU THINK, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME??? THAT MARINE SHOT AN ENEMY COMBATANT, SHITHEAD; SO GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS AND DEAL WITH IT BEFORE I MAKE YOU MY OWN PERSONAL PIN CUSHION!!! NEXT QUESTION: YOU IN THE BLUE SUIT.'

Reporter 2: 'Don't you think that the world's opinion of our operations is important?'

Ermey: 'OH SURE! YOU DON'T KNOW THE TIMES I HAVE CRIED MYSELF TO SLEEP WORRYING ABOUT WHAT SOME GODDAMNED FRENCH PANSY THINKS! OH THE DAYS I HAVE HAD TO WEEP BECAUSE SOME SHIT-EATING TERRORIST SCUMBAG MIGHT BE MAD AT US, BECAUSE WE WENT INTO WHATEVER GOD FOR-SAKEN HOLE IN THE SHIT THAT HE LIVES IN AND KILLED HIM. WHAT THE HELL KIND OF DUMBASS QUESTION IS THAT YOU PETER-PUFFING JACKASS?? WE ARE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND WHEN YOU ATTACK US, WE ARE GOING TO COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND BLOW YOUR STINKING CAMEL-LICKING CARCASS INTO PIECES SO SMALL WE WILL BE ABLE TO BURY YOUR SORRY ASS IN A THIMBLE!! YEAH, I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING. YOU ARE PROBABLY AFRAID, THINKING THAT I HAVE SUCH AN 'EXTREME' ATTITUDE AND THAT I NEED TO BE MORE 'SENSITIVE' TO OTHER PEOPLE'S FEELINGS. WELL LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING YOU POLE-SMOKING PANSY! I DON'T GIVE TWO SHITS WHAT YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE THINKS! THIS IS A DAMN WAR, AND IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THAT, THEN YOU SHOULD GO HOME AND SUCK ON MAMMA'S TIT!! DO YOU HEAR ME YOU RUNT?? NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF MY PRESS ROOM BEFORE I GO CRAZY AND BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF YOU!!! NEXT QUESTION: YOU WITH THE UGLY-ASSED TIE. LOOK AT THAT THING! IT IS HIDEOUS!'

Reporter 3: 'Aren't you going against the freedom of the press by..'
Ermey: 'FREEDOM?? WHAT IN BLUE HELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT FREEDOM? I HAVE SWEATED MY ASS OFF IN JUNGLES, WHILE BEING SHOT AT FOR THIS NATION!! WHAT IN THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE YOU LITTLE SHIT-SUCKING WEASEL? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU PUT YOUR ASS ON THE LINE FOR ANYTHING? AND YET YOU HAVE THE UNMITIGATED TEMERITY TO SHOW UP HERE AND MONDAY-MORNING QUARTERBACK THE ACTIONS OF A BRAVE MARINE, WHO WAS DEFENDING HIMSELF AND HIS UNIT FROM AN ATTACK BY SOME MURDEROUS AL-QUEDA SYMPATHIZER!!! YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT, NUMB-NUTS? I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A BUNCH OF GRABASSTIC, ORGANIZED MORONS WITH CAMERAS AND MICROPHONES DOING THEIR BEST TO PORTRAY OUR BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN AS WAR CRIMINALS! I AM CONCERNED ABOUT CHICKEN-SHIT PANSIES THAT WANT US TO NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS AND WHINE ABOUT THEIR PISS-ANT 'FREEDOMS'!!'

Reporter 3: 'I ...'

Ermey: 'DID YOU HAVE A BIG BOWL OF STUPID FOR BREAKFAST THIS MORNING, NUMBNUTS? I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER WORD OUT OF THAT COMMIE CRY HOLE IN THAT SHIT-PILE YOU CALL A HEAD! ......AND THAT GOES TRIPLE FOR THE REST OF YOU PANSY-ASSED MORONS! NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF MY PRESS ROOM BEFORE I SHOVE MY BOOT SO FAR UP YOUR ASS THAT YOU CHOKE TO DEATH ON MY SHOELACES!!!!'

Sorry for the long AWOL

I pinched a nerve and it really hurts to sit. This means I've dramaticallly cut my computer time and haven't been able to play. Part of the reason I didn't play while I was gone this last month is because it HURTS to sit at a computer. I"m going to move my computer to my bedside at some point, I think. What really sucks is I have to pay $2000 for a nerve block.

I think I'll be scheduling some FTF tomorrow night: Sat 8-9. Going to try playing standing up. I'm going to be on vent most of the evenings now, so feel free to log in and say hi, if I'm not in the game.
.

Anyways, here are three links to some videos that crack me up.

How NOT to celebrate with an AK (link safe for work, unless you speak Farsi)
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=cbe_1212322820

Ever wonder what happens when you shoot an RPG and hit something 10 feet away? Wonder no longer:
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=44d_1211647625

and perhaps the strangest of the lot - AK47's on the home shopping network:
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c5057efbd7

Anyone have any ideas on how I can pay for this nerve block? Anyone know anything about putting ads on a webpage?
I'd hate to have to clutter up the website but I'm crazy poor and it's starting to get me down... I gotta do something. Argh.

Sorry for the long time AWOL but I extended my trip. I should be back the last week of May (about 6 days from now).

Reaze sent in some neat pics...

Up close and personal.
Not often you can get this kind of detail on the sniper...

See you soon!
~Boo

2008-05-04T07:51:00.000-07:00

Missed me? Didn't think so. Boo is gone for a week or so... hopefully I can keep the withdrawal symptoms to a minimum until I get back into the game...
~Boo

2008-04-28T22:47:00.000-07:00

Nice.

OPFOR with a M-16. I think Apache sent this one in a while ago.

Another one drops his weapons.

~Boo

2008-04-27T17:43:00.000-07:00

We're getting a new password in the next day or two, so if you aren't able to log in, check your email. And remember... just because you recognize someone - the password still comes from me. Everyone on the list gets the same email.

If I missed you, let me know. And if you got two emails, let me know which email to get rid of, it'll save me time later since I write each one individually (no mailing lists for me...)

~Boo

2008-04-25T19:59:00.000-07:00

This is what happens when I get a scope.

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/347003/

~Boo

2008-03-29T20:05:00.000-07:00

I have been asked how I get the screenshots - I remapped my screenshot button to F13 (which I wasn't using anyway).

Using OSX 10.4, go to system preferences, then 'keyboard & mouse'. Open up 'keyboard shortcuts' and you can reassign the keys here.

On a PC there are at least two options. XFire and another program that Nefarius has told me about on more than one occasion, which I've forgotten. Perhaps you PC users can chime in here and let me know what works for you? I'll post any responses.

This one was a little scary to secure.

Happy Birthday, -=One Life=-! It's been TWO years now since the blog started. Wonder how many times the game has cycled through? How many hundreds of thousands of OPFOR have we taken out? And worse... I think I've been killed by every OPFOR in the game at one time or another... at least I know them all by name.

Dead on a desk.
Sometimes the screen isn't quite right... but we'll take the medal anyway.
Wrestling with the OPFOR.
Mano y mano against the BRDM.
They're coming!
Apache goes for a run around the RPG...
... and BOOM!
Nefarius takes out an OPFOR with his super power punch. MORTAL KOMBAT!

I thought it was only a myth.

Approaching the snipers balcony.
The snipers view.
And without a scope, from the stairs.
Wonder what's in here?

Nice view.

Crazy picture from Hellspawn:

OPFOR using a captured weapon. Now which one of you lost an M-16?

I'd like to carry one of these in the game.

Or maybe one of these?

Actually - what we REALLY need is one of these:

I looked through the archived posts for the first time in a looong time. Many of you have seen this, but it's worth another look.

The gunny says it's time for a new password!

Remember - just because you recognize someone doesn't mean you should tell them the password... everyone gets it the same way, by email from me. The best part about sending out the pword is I get to hear from players I haven't talked to in a while - maybe even convince them to come out of retirement for a game or two?

Everyone join me in congratulating Reaze, who (finally) tied the know with his woman. Guess he now has to ask permission to play?

Pictures from Apache, via email:

Yes, it can be done.
Craziness. Don't they know when they're beaten?

It seems Apache was only able to hold his crown for a few days - I was sent this screencap from one of our regulars to claim the new most-unbelievable high score I've heard about. And yeah, he wants to remain anonymous.

164. Amazing. And 9 captures? Unreal.

2008-02-11T14:14:00.000-08:00

Join me in welcoming the FNG's to the One Life crew... CS Legend, RClops, and Mongoose.

No thanks.

If you told me this, I wouldn't have believed it - but I got pictures to prove it:

Holy Moly. Look at that level rating.

Congratulations, Apache!

2008-02-06T12:13:00.000-08:00

This cracks me up:

"Nice shooting, little girl! Let's see if you can hit the other guy, too!"

Apache sent some pictures in - check out how many frags and smoke he has here:

Hola team!

All you old-timers join me in welcoming Hellspawn, Naderunner, TNT, Serial Number and Striker to the toughest server in FTF.

Speaking of which, rumors are going around that the Boo!-=OneLife=- server has tougher OPFOR than any other (unmodified) server out there. Any ideas of this? Could the OPFOR be learning, since the game has been up almost 2 years? We've completed the MCOOP start-to-finish at least three times a week since then, and up to three times in one weekend... that's a lot of bullets for OPFOR AI to learn from...

Apache, Pierce_MARSOC and I got medals last night that I haven't seen in at least a year, if not more (they are posted in my blog archives on the right... I'll look for the post date later). I traded my medal for a pair of clean socks and a MRE dessert pack, but here are the other two heroes:

So many pictures to post...

OPFOR standing behind MG, instead of manning it. Bad mistake on his part...
Pingo gets a medal. Nice work.
OPFOR head off in a corner.

If you shoot an ashtray the sand and cigarette butts go flying. I think I've been playing too long if something like this fascinates me...
Nice work.
Weird. No technical, just a shadow.

X-Ray vision.
Drop Your Weapons!

What a mess!
Watch your back.

Been wondering where I am? Neither have I. Boo is on vacation... see you in about two weeks or so.

If you can't connect to the vent server, it's because we've updated it. Go update yours at ventrilo.com - it's free!

Almost to 7000 hits.

If you click on the picture you'll see that the OPFOR is running away AFTER I secured him...
OPFOR can see me, even when I'm off the map.
He knows I'm there.
There are several open spots that you can shoot through.

Nefarius has expanded the capabilities of the -= OneLife =- control center! We now have online a second server and a dedicated full-size ventrilo room. This new server is currently hosting an America's Army COOP map. This will be expanded in the future to have a rolling series of maps, like CC:FTF. We also set this up so you DON'T have to get honor to play with us, since we already know who you are... probably have to pword the AA server, too. More news on this as it happens. The real downside of this is CC:FTF is really heavy with MAC users, and this is really only an option for PCs. My home-built isn't even close to being able to handle it.

The Boo! -= OneLife =- ventrilo server will be changing port soon. If you can't connect try switching to port 4271. Not sure when we'll make the switch, though.

I think we'll also have a second, dedicated Boo! MCOOP open game, too, as soon as my ebay copy of the game comes in and I have a second license number. Yeah, I'm picky about those things.

BOOM!
Nice work!
OPFOR stuck in the Mosque window.
No sandbags so Buzz uses Kelsey as a firing position.

I'm not too comfortable with what the OPFOR do in their spare time...
OPFOR floating in the doorway.
Nefarius goes for a cruise in his sweet low-rider.
