Title: I'm back. What did I miss?
Post by: Ponch on Sun 19/08/2018 15:03:06
Hello again, AGS community!

After an unscheduled crime spree alien abduction walkabout vacation I've returned to this, my favorite corner of the web. How has everyone been? I've missed you guys a lot and I'm glad to be back.

So what happened while I was away? What the hot goss? What's being whispered around the big blue water cooler? Were there any secret affairs? Power struggles? Doomed romances? Bake sales? What sort of mysteries and/or scandals have I missed while I was away from these halls of power and creativity?

Dish! I need details! :=

I don't know how long you were gone but I played Fridge Follies at some point.

Well, there was the affair between a big foot and a chupacabra. But no one can find any sign of the big foot now beyond a few stray foot prints...

Welcome back, I'm sure we all missed you! :-D

Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot to add that biggest latest news is that some people have released a few games... :-D

Disco-power's back in town!

So glad you found your way back and
hope to see some of the strongly missed 'Blade Runner-comments' in the different threads again. :grin:

Welcome back Ponch  :grin:

Prick Peckard made a celebrity appearance a while back.
It was great - he signed autographs, and everything.  :tongue:

Thanks for the replies, everybody. :cheesy:

Buckethead: I was gone about six months, or so. I hope you liked Fridge Follies. I had a lot of fun helping to make that game.

VampireWombat: Bigfoots always get away with stuff like that. They're smooth as a baby's bottom. :cool:

Cassiebsg: Good to see you're still around and still rocking a daggit as your avatar. I LOVED that show as a kid.

Mandle: Didn't we all assume that was going to happen eventually? Really, you could cut the sexual tension between them with a knife. :=

Adeel: Hey, dude! Good to see you're still here too. :smiley:

Tabby: Disco will never die.

Frodo: Prick does love the spotlight. But if he has time to make public appearances, I wish he'd arrange his schedule to free up enough time to finish The Forever Friday. :wink:

Ponch, welcome back! ;-D

Now has anyone seen Stupot lately...?

Sorry I'm late. Just been shopping for a cushion. Welcome back Ponchius.

So much has happened Ponch, SOOOOO much.  You just wouldn't believe it.

Unfortunately we all had to swear an oath not to tell anyone who wasn't here at the time.  You know how it is.  Just use your imagination. ;)

CaptainD gave all of us an STD.






I mean, he released Space Tunneler Deluxe.

Well you missed the AGS Awards.
I mean come on man! You're practically the mascot at those events! (laugh)

Nice to see you back though.

Well, you miss the grand festival where we ate all the cows, and we're not having enough!
One more energetic cow! Just one more!

Hi Ponch,

I was in the middle of my monthly fanart when Peder announced the cancellation of MAGSAN :(

Can you guess what it was?

Drink all day and rock all night, the law come to get you if you don't walk right.... ;-D

Ready for that "pillow fight", Stu? :=

Baron: Thanks. Nice to be back.

Stupot: I hear ice packs help.

CaptainD: Things are always better in my imagination. :=

Puddin': That's why you should always use protection. Honestly, I expected the AGS community to know better than to go near a sailor like the Captain.

Mandle: Silly string can spread STDs? I now regret every childhood birthday party I ever attended. :undecided:

Danvzare: Thanks! Coincidentally enough, the last day I was on the forums I was trying to download the AGS client to watch the awards when my PC died. My life spun out of control shortly thereafter. Random chance? Or dire omen? I'll let you decide.

Gilbert: I'l never stop dancing, no matter the sacrifice! And if next year's crops fail, it will be you, Gilbert, who your people take to the Wicker Cow!

Selmiak: Thanks! :smiley:

Creamy: MY GOD! That is amazing! Thank you so much!! :kiss:

Baron: Take it to PMs or get a room you two. :cool:

There was a shortage of dancing cows, so I had to sew teeny tiny little cow costumes and dress up my niece's hamster.


It wasn't the same, really.
Title: Re: I'm back. What did I miss?
Post by: Ponch on Wed 22/08/2018 01:31:34
It's never the same, sadly. (wrong)

How have you been, Ghost? Long time no talk.

Welcome back Ponch! Good to see you again!
You were the guy who got me to interact with the community more thanks to the lovely message you sent me when I released my first game.

Can't a guy hum the Grateful Dead in public anymore?  Sheesh. (roll)

Mandle: I'm secretly following Ghost around the internet, trying to figure out how I can be cool like him. :cool:

Stupot: Well, I've been lurking since the E-Z-Board days, so I can only assume Yahtzee is acutely aware of me and follows me around on the internet, trying to figure out how he can be cool like me. :=

RW: Hey, dude! Good to see you too. I'm flattered to know I played some small part in your larger presence in this community. Neat! :cheesy:

Baron: Grateful Dead?!? Get a haircut, hippie! :angry:

Mandle is around and very active. I have only been here a few years so don't recognize the other names.

Hey Ponch! I joined AGS like, one year before you! I have been busy making a new game, (It's in the production thread) after making a platformer on a different engine. (See sig.)
