   i loved Aerowings, particularly Aerowings 1. it was straight up Blue   
   Impulse sim (Japan's version of Blue Angels). i longed to find other   
   people to link cable several DCs and to some aerial maneuvers like the   
   Blue Angels. but everyone just wants to shoot shit outta the sky w/o   
   having to bother with the real complex mechanics of flying.   
      
   the whole Aero Dancing (a.k.a. Aerowings in USA) is very simmy, so it's   
   incredibly inappropriate to a vast swath of gamers. and the first one,   
   since shit wasn't being pointlessly blown up, was a huge disappointment   
   to a lot of people. but i liked it; not pointlessly violent, wholly   
   contingent on patience and skill, create artistry out of your skill in   
   the sky.   
      
   but it's impossibly hard to find gamers in USA who want to cooperate and   
   create something beautiful. especially if there is next to no violence   
   and smack talking involved. case in point note the different national   
   communities on PSO... and that had the luxury of violence and invited   
   smack talking.   
      
   oh well, in many ways i'm a gamer anomaly in this country. that's why i   
   look forward to studying abroad in Japan. maybe i'll find a few players   
   who want to play an arcade train simulator cooperating on running a   
   commuter schedule in a simulated Tokyo rush hour... or maybe i'll break   
   down and just vegetate in front of a pachinko machine.
