I'm sorry

« on: March 13, 2009, 02:15:06 am »

I'm really tired, and more than just a little bored. So, I've spent the last 30 minutes reading through all my old posts on this board, all the way back from 2003. After reading through everything, I've just gotta tell everyone...

I'm sorry.

Here's some choice tidbits:

"Silent Hill isn't really scary at all. It's cooler than scary. I love beating those dead-nurse-zombie-things to death with a steel pipe. Silent Hill is too easy for me, honestly. The story is pretty good and all, but I think RE is pretty much excells it. Silent Hill 2 had damn good animation though."

"I agree, people don't buy consoles for online gaming and I don't think they ever will."

"Maybe I'm just a little too mainstream for you people, but when I first saw Sephiroth walk through those flames, I thought 'How fucking cool is that?'"

At the very least, I don't think anyone will be able to deny it wasn't a special experience to make my acquaintance. I recommend going back and looking through your own posts from years ago. It's pretty funny to see how far (or how little) you've gone since then.

I have so many posts Sad

Ugh.

It's kinda funny how much data is stored here actually... I still have the archives of the original board from 2001 as well, which is extra crazy. It's too bad I don't have much going back to TNS though.

Not as many posts as me.. er... (well, that would have been true like 3 years ago.....)

And then Justin could have stepped in and claim the same...

But yeah... The amount of silliness on this board is incredible - probably this have something to do with most of us being no-life geek kids back then...

Always fun to revisit...

PS: I could swear the other day Google randomly dumped me to an archive page here to a thread where I was explaining to some newb how to create dynamic memory allocation in C... I was like "damn, I don't even remember C that much". Of course, the ultimate recommendation in that thread was "just move to C++"! Wink

*lol*

I don't feel like doing that at the moment, but it's a funny idea anyway.

In a way, I also feel like I had more of "a life" back when the board was at its most active than during some months this past year... But I'm not gonna start sulking now. ^^

In any case, there is something very heartwarming about this place, which makes me come back to it even after longer periods of absence. Lea Monde.Net was also crucial to the development of my knowledge/mastery of the English language - and that shouldn't be understimated! Cheesy

Well, that went over better than I expected it to. I half expected the responses to range from "why so srs demerson?" to "lol u emo".

I noticed a strange...anomaly...when I was examining my old posts from this board (and from others). It seems like, at one point, I was a pretty nice guy! Then, obviously, a corruption of the CPU took place, and this is what you have now: an egotistical maniac that browses 4chan daily. What kind of madness could have brought about such a change?! It's like, I've matured backwards...in a crazy, Benjamin Button kind of way.

In addition, I discovered from examining old posts that Surtur is a JERK!

Ah.

I knew that I missed something.

But srsly, I kinda know the feeling of aging backwards, I had regressed into teenagerish state during my state in Japan. Heh.

Well, since every thread is kind of old...

It's funny to come across this, because "I'm sorry" is what I want to say for most of my forum activity from '98 to '06. But that was quite a while ago. Cheesy

Instead of aging backwards, it seems more like a case of just not aging - of mentally staying in a similar emotional space while your body gets older. I feel like I should be 20, but I'm not - I'm several years older, and the perception that I should be responsible and have things together by now is still pretty alien to me. And hey, I do shit now I never would've considered when I took myself seriously.

So maybe that's a sign you're getting older?

It's been a while since the last time I posted here, wow.

I know what you mean. I still feel like a kid at heart for sure. My brain still thinks I'm 20-25, even if I'm rapidly approaching 30.

I do feel like I've grown up a bit, especially since the '99~'05 era. Glad to see people are still around. I've mostly interacted in other places on the web the last years, but coming back here to post something feels a little bit like coming 'home'. =)

Hehe, I'm glad to see that many of us here still share the good "refusing to age" mindset. cheesy

By refusing to age, we're setting ourselves up for bad mid-life crises, probably. Tongue

But I really don't feel like I'm nearing the end of my third decade. It's daunting.

Posting here does feel a little like returning to a comfort zone though, I agree. Lea Monde has been around so long - I'd be really sad to see it go, even if I don't post very often. I'm glad we're all still here once in a while.

This place isn't going anywhere for a while. It's very low maintainable for me, and I imagine there'll be something here for quite a long time to come.

I've kinda already achieved my "dream job" of working on and making some pretty damn good video games. Now I'm working with publishers that made games that I played a ton of when I was a kid, so it's kinda crazy. I'm hoping this "accomplishment" helps me stave off any midlife crisis

Feeling young sure helps in this industry.

A midlife crisis, huh? It may be naive for me to say so now, but I can't see myself ever experiencing one of those. Of course, now that I've said that, I'm sure I'll be eating those words in another 15-20 years.

Like TC, I'm hoping my career will be able to quell any possibilities of that.

I don't look at my old posts. Ever. Anything I've said prior to like a day before my most recent post, at any given time, embarrasses the hell out of me.
