Pull the pin challenge 135/2/2023 ![]() ![]() I understand that games have to earn a profit and have to use ads but when the game design has you spend substantially more time watching ads than playing the game itself, it is what I would call a major design flaw! Yes you can pay to remove ads but when I cannot even tell if this is a game I am going to enjoy playing b/c it takes 10 mins to play 5 puzzles b/c of said ads, things are out of hand. Just label this game for kids and then add a cap at like 1000 so they can feel a level of accomplishment for beating this garbage off a game. Does it ever or is it all the same? Did the creators make a great game but got lazy halfway through and just have it restart itself but keep the levels going higher as you play? Like this game says I win each level but I feel like a loser thinking that this just a stupid game that keeps me playing because the creator made an endless game because they were too lazy to add any challenges, difficult puzzles, increasing difficulties of even anything different that Could add an increased joy of playing to this game. I’ve watched over 20 hours full of ads on the last few months from this stupid game in between playing and I’m no just waiting for it to go to the next level of difficulty. It just repeats itself over and over and over but the levels just keep counting up. I’m wondering, does the game get harder? Are there any challenges? I’m on level 1287 & it’s been the same crap since level 20. Negative images are often so interesting.I’ve been playing and playing everyday every chance I get when I’m bored and it’s all the same. Anyway, I learnt that before the Vietnamese went into action they popped a little silver Buddha in their mouths. Their culture of Coke cans and ice creams actually made them smell. They could literally smell the Americans coming through the jungle. The Vietnamese were portrayed as being very craftful people who treated their fighting as an art. I saw a programme with a camera man on the front line in Vietnam. I wanted to write a song that could somehow convey the whole thing, so we set it in the jungle and had helicopters, crickets and little Balinese frogs. They wore a little silver Buddha on a chain around their neck and when they went into action they'd pop it into their mouth, so if they died they'd have Buddha on their lips. It was devastating, because you got the impression that the Americans were so heavy and awkward, and the Vietnamese were so beautiful and all getting wiped out. The Americans were these big, fat, pink, smelly things who the Vietnamese could smell coming for miles because of the tobacco and cologne. The way he portrayed the Vietnamese was as this really crafted, beautiful race. He's never been the same since, because it's so devastating, people dying all the time. He said it really changed him, because until you live on their level like that, when it's complete survival, you don't know what it's about. I saw this incredible documentary by this Australian cameraman who went on the front line in Vietnam, filming from the Vietnamese point of view, so it was very biased against the Americans. ![]() ( Kate Bush Club newsletter, October 1982) Has he a family and a lady waiting for him at home, somewhere beyond the Chinese drums and the double bass that stalks like a wild cat through bamboo? The moving pictures freeze-frame and fade - someone stopped the multi-track, there's more overdubs to do. A helicopter soars overhead, he wakes up, and as he looks me in the eyes I relate to him as I would to a helpless stranger. I pop the silver Buddha that I wear around my neck into my mouth, securing my lips around his little metal body. I'd swear it was being played by Brian Bath, but how could that be, way out here on our stereo screen. It's a small transistor radio out of which cries an electric guitar. This soldier is under a tree, dozing with a faint smile and a radio by his side. Sometimes a Vietnamese would track a soldier for days and follow him, until he eventually took him. Take the camera in even closer, and we find a solitary soldier, perhaps the one I have singled out. We can smell them for miles with their sickly cologne, American tobacco and stale sweat. Closer in with the camera, and you can catch glimpses of their pink skin. Right in the distance you can see the trees moving, smoke and sounds drifting our way. We are looking at the Americans from the Vietnamese point of view and, almost like a camera, we start in wide shot. We sat in front of the speakers trying to focus on the picture - a green forest, humid and pulsating with life. 'Pull Out The Pin' was covered by Niki Romijn. The lyric of the song was based on a documentary about the war in Vietnam and describes soldiers of the Vietcong literally sniffing out their American opponents before killing them. Originally released on her fourth album The Dreaming. ![]()
