Title: What the hell
Post by: drenrin2120 on January 25, 2009, 04:12:48 AM
It's 2009... I've been here for 5 ****ing years. **** you guys!

...But seriously, I <3 you guys.

...But seriously, what the hell... Five years is a long time. I can't believe I haven't finished any kind of game within that time. We've all changed so much since we first joined here and yeah yeah, there's probably a topic like this somewhere. But five years is a long time and a celebratory number. For me, atleast. I can remember I lived in a different place five years ago, had completely different friends, and was very quiet, too myself and respectful. All that has changed. Now I've got a job as well. XP Ooooohhhhh, life.

What have you all been up to lately? What kinds of things were you up to when you joined x years ago.

I'm really not too sure what this is all about. Just a personal revelation I have once a month I thought I'd share with you all and see where it goes.

Ha, yeah, you know, five years ago I was like "I'll stay in this place for at least one year, by then I bet everyone else will have left though."

Whoo... I'm getting old too. I know my life was totally different when I joined. So was charas...

Been here for 2 years and a few months. Back there when I joined, I was a total loser. I had no real life friends, on the internet I behaved like a noob, I couldn't do anything useful. Now, I got a bunch of friends, rl and internet. I also improved quite a lot on drawing, spriting and the like.

If it wasn't for charas, I wouldn't be able to speak english at all. Some of you still remember how shitty my english was when I joined. And since I never took classes or anything, everything I know, its because of you guys.

Charas helped me a lot. It was the first forum I joined and I hope its the last one I leave.

That...was beautiful.

When I joined back in 2007, I was only in the 4th Grade. Now I'm in the 6th, I've met new people and expanded my hopes
and shitty dreams.

Blarg Precalc.

Now I finally have someone that I can actually call a true friend, even though we've only known each other for such
a short time. Life, it changes in the most unexpected ways.

Her name is Charas.

My ideals haven't changed since I joined here. I'm still Mr. Anti-popularity, and if anything from Charas, that ideal has only strengthened.

I can easily say I formed a real sense of humor here, possibly a mix of all of the comedy styles you guys have. You guys brought up some games that I never would have tried, but now can't stop playing (curse you JeT and Prpl for IAWW/TWEWY!) I've learned what is and isn't accepted from the homies of the Internetgroundplaceplaza of Funk, and now I shutter every time I read an old post of mine.

Thanks for keeping me a virgin since March 2005. :D

...or at least giving me an excuse to be one.... <.<

I was talking to a friend about the longevity of internet communities just the other day. Then I realised that this, 2009, would be my 6th year here. Pretty crazy, eh?
I've seen lots and lots of people come and go, and more importantly stay, which leads to the crew we have now. What a fun ride.

And there's no end in sight, either.

Nah, he's sure to do like I did and lose his steam after another year. I used to average about 15 posts a day back in the day.

I've only been here for a year, but i've changed alot. I used to be an intlectual, quiet and very softspoken. Now i'm more inquisitive and adventurous and alot more serious since my dad died. I also became a better story writer and and have an improved sense of humor. Not to mention if it wren't for you guys I never would have made David up, so thanks and I hope I last on the site for five years.

I've only been here for three years. Can't say I learned much, but one thing is for sure.

Me, whoever he is, is cool.

I've made a few friends IRL; not many Charas folk, though. They're trustworthy people. Heck, I'm considered a brother by someone--he's the first time someone actually came to me for advice, and according to him, I've been a big help.

I'm still kinda idealistic, but I'm also getting a little jaded, so I'm a romantic snarker, if nothing else. And I'm STILL playing GBA and PS2 games!

It's been fun being with you guys, at any rate. Now, if only I actually DID something around here...
Title: Re: What the hell
Post by: wella on January 26, 2009, 06:02:34 PM
GBA and PS2 are modern. I'm still on SNES.

Your only the second person i've met who likes FF1 (Or even knows it still exists). Most pepole have only ever played the newer Final Fantasies and have no clue what a true chalange is. I tell try playing the orginal Final Fantasy for NES and you'll end up sreaming at the TV every time you try to hit those weak Golbins and "miss" three times.

Yeah. I've definitely found myself yelling at the game. So many ****ing encounters. You do one thing wrong and got to go half way back across the world and there's just so many ****ing encounters. And no matter how strong you are, you can't run as quickly as you'd like. I like the game, but it's definitely agitating.

I liked it, but I didn't find the game to be difficult, frustrating, etc. We must be on completely different wave-lengths.
