: ... and I'm sorry for the buildup, but this level really isn't that fun.
For me, this paragraph exemplifies what makes Volunteers/Tour of Duty/the Story page great. The gameplay is often hit-or-miss, but by treating the actual game content as a starting point rather than an ending, we can get as much out of it as we put into it. I find this level pretty boring too (only the terminals keep me going), but now I'll associate it with the zen of swamps, and have fonder memories to accompany me through the sludge, thanks to VikingBoyBilly and the Story forum.
