THATS IT!! I GIVE UP: A SH3 Relapse

[U-48Kriegsmarine]

Th thought I had moved past this. Time and time again, I though I had convinced myself that I didn't NEED SH3. I mean, I just wanted to get on with my life, ka know maybe play some OM. I even tried sobering up totally and playing Sh5 - but nothing would do it. Nothing can bring me the high of sinking a C3 Cargo, or hearing the ping ping ping like SH3 can.
Just nothing but SH3 seems to give me my fix.

Hello, My name is U-48KM, and I am a SH3 addict.

PS: OM, its not like you didn't try, just can't stand the feel of SH4. And 5... well, I don't need to eleborate about THAT.

Back to SH3... Now where did I put those mods... :hmmm:

Hello, My name is U-48KM, and I am a SH3 addict.



We all are here Brother. Just remember these five steps to salvation or greater tonnage, which ever comes first.

1. Admitting that one cannot control one's addiction or compulsion;
recognizing a new mod can give strength;

2. Examining past targeting errors with the help of forum member (experienced member);

3. Making amends for these errors and learning how set up a Cromwell using the stern tubes

4. Learning to live a new life with a new code or patches;

5. Helping others that suffer from the same addictions or compulsions with tips for greater tonnage.

Please consider members of this forum as your Wolfpack mates. Our success depends on each one of us.

Can I get a "Be more aggressive" from the congregation! :rock:

BE MORE AGGRESSIVE! :D

Sorry Jimbuna :O:

The 12 Steps of SH3 Anonymous
We admitted that we were powerless over SH3 and that Bernard had become unmanageable.
We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. His name is Admiral Dönitz.
We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Onkel Karl, as we like to call him.
We made a searching and fearless inventory of our provisions and ammo.
We reported to Onkel Karl, our flotilla chief, and our crew the exact location of any contacts we encountered.
We were entirely ready to have our itchy necks scratched with the appropriate decoration.
We humbly asked for an upgrade to our hydrophones.
We made a list of all the ships we had sunk, and had the crew paint pennants to commemorate all of them.
We made directly for our patrol grid whenever possible, except when doing so would mean passing up a lone unescorted merchant.
We continued to take inventory of our stores and armament and when we ran low promptly set a course for home.
We sought through radio transmissions to improve our contact with Onkel Karl, asking only for directions to the nearest convoy and the fuel reserves to intercept it.
Having had a successful patrol as a result of these steps, we tried to get home without hitting a mine, getting depth charged into oblivion, or letting Bernard steer the boat.

"Mr. Anderson, welcome back. We missed you."

Vacations in the Pacific are permitted but the Tonnageschlacht will be won, or lost, in the Atlantic. I'm sure there's a flotilla around that'll be glad to issue a new boat to you.

Ok at a stretch I could understand OM but SH5?? My god man get a grip! :nope:
All jokes aside nice to have you back mate. Welcome to the real world Neo. And remember there is no hedgehog. Not until '44 that is :O:

Both lists printed multiple times and posted on bathroom mirror, in shower, above kitchen sink, and on the wall across from my toilet. :up:

Once that cold Atlantic water gets in your veins, you can never totally get away from SH3.

[java`s revenge]

I have made this step last week. I couldn`t see the speeding merchants
anymore and 10 or more destroyers round a merchant.....etc....

I did miss the pings and the realistic gameplay and the olc/magui and the
scary feeling when a destroyer is hunting you...and with the flakmonkey`s mod
the narrow onboard feeling...and the freedom to hunt...and....and....and....
i missed too much...:wah:

Addicted is the wrong word.

Do people claim to be addicted to eating fresh fruit?
Do people claim to be addicted to doing good deeds?
Do people claim to be addicted to having good hygiene?

No. Because in common usage, being addicted means that you are doing something that is bad for you.

Playing SH3 is not bad, but good for you.

We are not addicted to SH3, we are committed to SH3. :salute:

I dunno Platapus,...

If you find yourself unable to do all your chores because you are playing SH3. The solution is self-evident. Reduce the number of chores you have to do!

Kitchen dishes piling up. Well throw them out and stop using the kitchen. You should be eating old tinned meat and wilted vegs anyway!

Shower needs cleaning? WTF! The shower is for storing the aforesaid tins of meat, not for showering!

See, you can get rid of a lot of time wasting chores so you can focus on the important things in life. :yeah:

[Bothersome]

LOL I feel better already!!!

This forum has helped me so much! Thank you. :woot:

Now with playing in real-time, that would be the ultimate u-boot sim ever.:yeah:

[Reece]

I think that even if the OSP/DRM was patched out of SH5 I still wouldn't get it!:-? Amazes me that even essentials like the KM grid map is replaced by Longitude/Latitude!:down: What a step backwards!!:doh:
Yes SHIII :up: Still say they should have used SHIII and upgraded the graphics, the old saying comes to mind "If it's not broken then don't fix it!".:yep:

Personally I installed voice commands and play on a low time compression whilst I go about doing my chores and homework. Nothing quite like leaping up to get to the computer whilst screaming "CRASH DIIIIIVE!!!!!" if an aircraft is spotted.:arrgh!: :lurk:

Funnily enough I now find myself doing work or chores just to justify playing SHIII now:har:

I wonder if there's a way to make SH3 tweet or send SMS directly to my cell phone. :hmmm:

Now that I think of it, that would be kind of like making coffee with Linux (http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Coffee.html). :rotfl2:

Now the only thing left is to learn the voice commands in German... :arrgh!:
