I have never been as hype to play Smash as I was when I heard this song. Amazing job!

Happy birthday man! Keep on keepin on!

All updated to date!

It's the last Sunday in October in England for the switch. The US is pretty much the only country who ends DST so late.

I feel hesitant to post in here because there have been times before, MANY times before, where I decided I should finally exercise and lose the 40 to 50 pounds I've put on in the last decade and then quit within days (in fact, this happened before, and I posted in here back then when I got started). Used the gym at my job for a few days two years ago, and stopped. Bought an exercise bike and put it in my bedroom, next to my bed, but then used it maybe three times over the past year. But after a cosplay friend of mine recommended My Fitness App on iOS about a week ago to start calorie counting what I was eating, I saw exactly what I was taking in and started thinking. I realized that I'd actually been maintaining my current weight for months, and that losing weight was actually a feasible proposition; all I had to do was get off my ass and work out. So on Saturday, now armed with Chromecast and a ton of random stuff to watch on my TV courtesy of that, I hopped on the exercise bike for an hour. Saw a legitimate breakdown of what I'd burned, thanks to a combination of that app and an exercise watch I had to buy on Amazon because the calorie counter display in the bike is dead and I'm too lazy to open it up and replace the battery, lol. To my surprise, and likely entirely because of how easy it is to put two episodes of Doctor Who on (I started watching near the end of Ten's run so I'm catching up on Nine) and have the time fly by like nothing, I've managed 90 minutes on that bike at a moderate and non-painful pace every day over the past five. That's not a lot of time of course; the clincher is seeing if I'm still keeping that up five weeks from now. BUT. I'm actually starting to really enjoy exercising, which has never happened before; it was always just a necessary evil before now. And if I do keep that up for the next five weeks, it's very possible I'll have already lost 25 pounds by then. You guys, I'm so stupid excited! I may never become the practical minded non-procrastinator I've always wanted to be; I'm pretty sure I'll remain some type of lazy ass for all time. But at least I can finally see the potential in getting serious about exercising.

Just watched this with only 40 minutes left before I leave work for the weekend, and now I wanna tapdance to my metro stop. (but I won't because I'd look like an idiot embarrass myself to all of DC) So great!

Check near the bottom of my OP post for the link to Wes' post about the suite. He could probably fit you there... if you two are willing to share in a suite with a ton of folks. XD

STARTING NOW!

GETTING HYPE. You just don't KNOW.

Check the OP post and click the link near the bottom; Bahamut is offering people to get in a suite.

Man, have we really not done a Talkback since before MAG 8.5?! Anyways... WE'RE BACK!

Welcome (back, as appropriate) to the family!

lol, how many campaigns are you gonna run at once, geez

Put mine in for Ivan Hakštok

DusK's track is very kickass, but jazz is my kryptonite. Voting for Neblix.

All updated before I run off to MAG 8.5! (was amused by how the default location for 22202 resulted in me putting a pin for Kizyr and Jenner smack in the middle of an airport)

Yes, we've got a block. Links and information on how to join the OCR block are all in the OP post. If you want to ditch the COOL PEOPLE and make your own antisocial little block, then the Book Hotel link on MAGFest's site has the info.

All updated. Also, Bahamut moving his pin a few days ago might have accidentally moved more people in Layer 2 along with him (thankfully there's not that many people in Layer 2), so if anyone sees they're out in the ocean again or something, let me know so I can fix it.

Very slowly starting the path to software development/programming for a career, while also very slowly working on music production on the side as my primary hobby.

Uhhh, 10 miles in which direction? Can't move your mark unless I know an exact spot. Because Layer 1 had so many items in it that it won't display individual names in the list anymore and even started crashing the map, so I had no choice but to move a whole bunch of them to a new Layer 2 to lighten the load.

I just added you to the map, but since (as Cryha mentions) people getting added to the map depends on them posting in this thread with their location, and nobody close to you has posted... well. When I zoom out I see there's a ton of folks in various directions within a three hour drive of you (The Indianapolis group has the largest number), but that's a long way to go meet the "locals"! Added.

Us OCR folks in the DMV area (DC, Maryland, northern Virginia) see each other at least once or twice a month if not more, but there's so many of us packed like sardines in here that we really don't count; we're all close personal friends who hang out all the time on purpose. It's not like we have to wait for conventions to say hi. For all the other folks out of this area, it's pretty much just that; we only tend to see them at cons. Although I do tend to drive three hours up to DarkeSword's pad every few months.

As someone who got his start at vgmusic.com (and someone who you can directly blame for 33 of those 190 Mega Man X MIDI files skewing the statistics here), I found this very interesting and am glad you put that together. I do agree that doing a similar analysis with stuff from other sites would be cool too, albeit not nearly as easy. Also, Twilight Princess scoring so high was a surprise. I mean, obvious love for Zelda, but TP in particular, over LttP at that? Let's be fair now; it wasn't a naive goal when that site started 18 years ago.
