I recently picked up a copy of Battlefield Bad Company 2 from steam for $7. Since I haven't played a battlefield game in a long time, I thought it was a great deal and it would be a good chance for me to enjoy the mayhem that is battlefield. Within the first 5 minutes playing I saw a helecopter flip upside down at the spawn and was teamkilled by the pilot abandoning helecopter I was riding in without notice, just so he could parachute to a nice sniping spot. Modern technology in video games has made sniping become a little more like it's real world counterpart, the vast render distances and addition of bullet drop require a lot of practice and patience. Gone are the days of the Counter Strike beta 360 noscope AWP headshots, in favor of the more skill based patience (at least in the learning period) of modern sniping.
I should at least point out, I was going for the contrast of actual military service versus just adding extra smell to mom's basement. I feel like these "one of these things is not like the other" drawings are good venues for some of the ideas I have. With a two pane "comic" I can still use the limited text and lack of speech bubbles. With just the use of a little typography and contrasting yet similar images, I can tell a much better story.
