Remember when?

[Elkarway]

Hello Mogballs! o/

Also, did you know: back in Molecular Blue, removing someone from your buddy list when they weren't on it in the first place caused the server to spit out their character ID number. You could compare and see whose ID is lower to see who was the oldest oldbie!

Yep, if I recall correctly, Vengeance was the #1
Anyway, seeing Khado's mug on facebook has given me this sudden urge to check how he and Sangwa fare in this fab-yuh-luhs place recently. They don't fare, apparently, but that's my story!

Now, here are my additions:
1. Remember when Moogie was a clueless newb?
2. Remember when Annah was running a more-than-one-person guild? (I sure don't!)
or more to the point
3. Remember when we had the Annual Community Awards?

I'm Khado and I lurk quite a bit.  Don't post often though.

I miss the Community Awards.

Where are you? Why aren't you trying to steal my blind menki away?

I'm too busy with work, school and stuff to be here and steal menkies.   Do miss you guys, though.  How's everything going?

*Looks at the oldbies in the thread*

oh.. look at all the oldbies that got caught in the fly paper... I'll have to lay out a new strip at this rate.

pretty good, trying to make through an internship so that i can get back in school, get another piece of paper, you know...

Miss seeing you around in-game, Elkarway.  I miss the Community Awards, as well.

So, what have you been up to these past years?

God only knows what I was doing before, but the last 3-4 years have been spent doing Flash animation over at Whirled.com. It helped me land a short-lived indie partnership with the guy who makes the Protector tower-defense games at Kongregate, where I did the monster sprites/animations for "Reclaiming the Throne".

I've improved massively since then, but sadly haven't found any new game dev opportunities yet. But I make a nice amount from the Whirled stuff, so I'm happy enough for now. I'm trying to break into fullblown 3D animation lately so that I can really broaden my opportunities. Chase the dream, never give up..!

I know someone with a similar situation; he's trying to break into 3d animation from a management job at a game company. It's hard, very hard. He practices his animating skills in his free hours, but it's practically impossible to keep up with people who are practicing it full time because of their study or job. If you want to break into it quick, it might be an idea to switch to part-time at your job and apply for an internship at another company that does 3D stuff. You'll have less money for a while, but practical experience and learning from professionals is always the best. And an internship could always open up to a full-time job! Now go chase that dream

There weren't many places to go but we did have fun with the places we had
I need to drop in and see all the new changes!

*Anfa peels herself off the the fly-paper and heads back to the shadows

[LigH]

No, Anfa, don't you leave already! Allow me to guide you around the renovated Hydlaa and anywhere else!

[Anfa]

Well, made a brief visit but missing something on the laptop. I felt like i was in some Tron-like futuristic city- checkboards of Reds, greens and blues heh. If I can figure out how to fix it on a linux system laptop, i will be back to visit more often 
 

[LigH]

"Colored checkerboards" means your client could not find matching textures.

I hope you already updated to version 0.5.8.1; then a "Repair" in the launcher may help. If not, then please start a thread in the bug area of this board, and report all possibly useful facts about your hardware...

[Anfa]

Looking into installing drivers since I have decided to use the BF's linux Laptop to play games
I'm pretty sure that's what the problem is 
He had only used the laptop for work before giving it to me, although he should have known me well enough to know I would start trying to game on this thing

I miss the Community Awards.

The Awards only meant something when I was winning them.

[Jekkar]

I only remember the sad times.

That must have been before the invention of the internet right ?
Cool to see it's still alive and kicking here !
