    Mario RPG would have been nice. I've attempted it a few times as an adult and find it a little simplistic and boring, which is kind of a bummer. I'm glad I played so many of the Final Fantasy games when I was younger, because I don't think I could sit through them the first time as an adult.

    I'd be interested to hear your (and anyone elses) thoughts! It's a very casual recording, mostly done as an experiment with the format. Once we piece together a real "Episode 1," it should be a little more focused and interesting.

    We'll also need to find a better means of distribution than YouTube.

    Wednesday is a public holiday in Aussieland? Why?

    I'm sure it won't be the only CAH game we plan. If you can't attend, there's always the next one. =D

    Bots are the worst. Some of my old forums used to get bombarded with porn. Just threads with 20 posts, and each post had 50 porn thumbnails or something.

    Fortunately, that's not hard to really define. Bots and advertisements are bad and can be nuked without serious consideration. It's the spammy posts of legitimate members that we have to treat with a lighter touch.

    You're right, I'd forgotten that you and I had joined at pretty much the same time.

    Gannondorf Moose is the guy who said "And this I quote." I don't know why I remember that, but I do. Looking back, there's a good chance he was trolling us. He just refused to use the proper quote function, not matter how many times it was explained. I seem to recall he was pretty over-the-top superior as well. He would refer to people who disagreed with him with such utter contempt and dismissal. Nobody liked that guy.

    There was also a member called Linker I think, who kept getting banned, but kept making new accounts. At some point he prompted me to make this:

    And help me out here. Dark the 7th had two buddies on the forum. Both women. One was Sammi, and the other was...? I can't recall for the life of me. The only thing I remember is that she was bisexual, talked about being distracted by her own body, and said that she wore diapers when she was on her period. It's bugging the hell outta me that I can't remember her name.

    Oh, and remember that Aerith cosplayer? I think she just went by Aeris on the boards or something. She ended up getting really famous I think. Has been on TV a few times, well known as a cosplayer, stuff like that.

    There was Quistis, the woman from Essex, one of the few people who really migrated to TSR from FFR. I'm afraid I don't remember much about her, except that I made an ass of myself by moralizing about sex to her once.

    Also, Darkmoon! (BUTTMON) She was from Phoenix AZ, and she and I actually talked a lot. I've always been kinda sad that she dropped off the grid entirely.

    You know, as fond as my memories of the TSR gang are, I was a terrible person back then.

    B'daw, I appreciate that. It's true I'm in a bad situation right now, but I've been in much much much worse situations in my life, and I've got a pretty good safety net set up for myself if shit hits the fan.

    I need to find a job, no doubt about it. But I've spent enough time in the grownup business world that when I actually do get a job, I know exactly what it takes to kick ass at it. I might be grumpy for a little while as I live a life without booze or pizza, but in the end I'll land on my feet. <3

    I also do a lot of walking. In college I kept in shape because my my apartment was 2 miles away from the school, and the trip was mostly uphill. Doing that back-and-forth every day (plus my general lack of available food) kept me reasonably fit.

    For years after that I lived in an area that was not walking friendly. I put on a lot of weight. Where I live now is a lot better though. It's nice to be walking again.
