The Coop

I do? Wait... YES! I DO!

... I think.

I have a message box? Where the hell did this come from? When did this show up? As Dominique Dunne once said... WHAT'S HAPPENIIIIIING?!?!?!

I just caught your message in the thread about my sig. I edited my post to respond to it, but I'll put the message here as well since post edits don't always get caught...

You used that lioness gif someplace else? I don't recall ever getting a message from you saying that, which is why I thought it went unused. I'll get rid of that last line on my site then, once I update it again.

I use Image Ready. I find it to be more intuitive than GIMP, Fireworks and so forth.

I've responded! Now QUICK! REPLY BACK BEFORE A BUS GOES BELOW 50MPH SOMEWHERE, OR THE PASSENGERS WILL ALL DIE BY UNDEAD DENNIS HOPPER'S HANDS!

If I told you that, then I'd have to slowly kill you by making you watch episodes of Cop Rock on an endless loop

It says "Since this thread was done backwards..." right above the NWG (or GWN as the case may be) image, which is right above the sig in question.

Just giving you a quick update.

It's getting close to being done. I keep getting interrupted, but there's really only a few things that need adjusting. The animation is all in place, the BG is done, and things like that. It's just a matter of getting that minor stuff squared away.

MAHA! Been a while since I saw a post of yours. How've you been?

Many thanks for the compliments

Haven't seen you around the site for a while. What brought you back after such a healthy hiatus?

Might wanna hold off on that judgment until you actually see the sprites *lol*

No problem. I've moved plenty of times in my life thus far, so I know all the things that run through a person's mind leading up to the move. Loneliness knowing you're going to being spending time trying to make new friends and acquaintances, not getting to see your old friends anymore... it can be a bit depressing sometimes.

But there will always be new people to meet and talk to, and these days, keeping in touch with old friends is easy. Try not to focus solely on who you won't get to see face-to-face anymore, and know you'll get to talk with them on-line and so forth. Plus, you'll be meeting new people, so there's that to look forward to as well.

As I said, you'll be fine once you get past the move itself and settle into college life in Australia. In the meantime, enjoy hanging out with your friends, and make the most of the time you have left with them. They'll appreciate it, and so will you.

No thread? No problem...

Nope.

I got burned out on IRC after over three straight years of constantly using it. Plus, the free version of Zone Alarm blocks the port IRC uses and there's no way to unblock it (there is with the regular version that you pay for though). So even if I got a hankering to hop on, I couldn't without turning off my firewall... which would be bad

Nostalgia can be a powerful little thing when it strikes, can't it? Makes you do all sorts of odd things... like stand in the grocery store aisle with a grin on your face, while holding a reproduction of an 80s G.I. Joe figure that they happen to have for some strange reason (and actually consider buying it just for the hell of it).

But, regardless of made you swing by, it's nice to see (read?) you floating around these parts again. Welcome back

Not much. Working, spending a lot of time writing my fiction, trying to find time to play some games before I go into withdrawal... the usual

Not sure if you're aware of it, but there have been five unofficial Christmas albums done on OCR that feature both VG remixes, and remixes of Christmas carols. You can find them here...

http://www.obtusemusic.net/OCR_Christmas/index.htm

While I can't recall every song's source, I know "A Few More Miles to Go" (Arcus Odyssey), "The Dead of Winter" (Necromancer), "Falling From the Sky" and "A Journey for Generations" (both from Phantasy Star III), and "Cranky's Christmas Mojo" (one of the Donkey Kong Country games) are game remixes, and there are more. Sadly, the song sources were never listed anywhere as far as I know.

Oh, and there's also the Super Metroid album (unofficial OCR project) done for bLiNd when he was ill a few years back...

Just thought I'd point them out in case you didn't see them

Oops... I keep forgetting about this message area.

(A belated) Thanks for the compliment

Responding in Doulifée's message box.

Heya Douli. Thanks.

She returns from the great frozen tundra of the north!

It's been a good number of years, Aurora. It's great to see you're still around. How've things been for you, and how went the studies that kept you snow bound for a while?

As for me, I'm doing alright. Had some ups and downs, but life likes to do that to us all, doesn't it? I'm still working on the occasional remix, doing illustrative/graphic design work, trying to get a trio of novels done (very far in #2 now), 'Twas is still a thing (did #13 last year), and I'm still tinkering with sprite work. I've got a DeviantArt account now, since I got tired of my freebie site hosts going belly up on me. It doesn't have everything, but I've gotten a fair bit uploaded...

So yeah, that a quickish summary of it all on my end. Hope to hear back from you, especially since I was just wondering a week or so ago what you were doing these days. Hope everything's going your way

Thanks

She wasn't in there when I originally uploaded it, but I decided to add her the other day.

Thanks chimpazilla.

Thanks for the compliment

Thanks much, Rexy
