How long have you owned SH3?

melnibonian · 09-26-07, 09:18 AM

Got it as soon as it came out. I play with it for about 2-3 months and I got bored. Left it for quite some time and about 8-12 months later I started playing again. If I had not come accross GW1.1a at the time I would have throw it away. After I tried GW1.1a my life changed

Now I don't even remember what SH3 looks like

I was a Sub Command junkie...then put it away for a few years. Then a couple years ago, decided to re-install it and start getting my subsim fix again. I came here after not having read the boards here in years, where I discovered Dangerous Waters and Silent Hunter III. I read the reviews and naturally had to have both !

I've now been hapily playing them for about two years or so and I'm not showing any signs of stopping.
I have these games set up on the computer in my home music room/amature studio where I do a lot of work with synthisisers, and other instruments, as well as my latest hobby of circuit bending electronic toys, games, and keyboards. I love to run Silent Hunter III or Dangerous Waters (with all the autocrew on) at 1x while I'm working on other things in the room. When I hear my crew call something out, it pulls me right to the "Captain's Chair" to deal with whatever situation is going on.
