I'm back. What did I miss?

Ponch · 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!

Ponch

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

VampireWombat · Sun 19/08/2018 15:41:25

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...

Cassiebsg · Sun 19/08/2018 15:42:03

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

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

Mandle · Sun 19/08/2018 15:47:40

======Nope, nothing unusual happened. Welcome back!!!======

Adeel · Sun 19/08/2018 18:07:51

Glad to have one of my favourite AGSers back!

Tabata · Sun 19/08/2018 19:53:45

YAY!
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.

Frodo · Sun 19/08/2018 22:49:06

Welcome back Ponch

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

Ponch · Mon 20/08/2018 03:27:14

Thanks for the replies, everybody.

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.

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.

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.

Baron · Mon 20/08/2018 04:05:58

Ponch, welcome back!

Now has anyone seen Stupot lately...?

Stupot · Mon 20/08/2018 04:18:23

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

CaptainD · Mon 20/08/2018 08:31:45

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.

Privateer Puddin' · Mon 20/08/2018 08:45:48

CaptainD gave all of us an STD.

I mean, he released Space Tunneler Deluxe.

(It involved silly-string...)

Danvzare · Mon 20/08/2018 11:08:40

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

Nice to see you back though.

Gilbert · Mon 20/08/2018 14:25:40

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!

selmiak · Mon 20/08/2018 19:01:16

welcome back cowboy!

Creamy · Mon 20/08/2018 20:06:23

Hi Ponch,

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

Can you guess what it was?

Baron · Tue 21/08/2018 02:17:57

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

Ready for that "pillow fight", Stu?

Ponch · Tue 21/08/2018 03:27:51

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.

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!

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

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

Ghost · Tue 21/08/2018 21:12:46

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.

Ponch · Wed 22/08/2018 01:31:34

It's never the same, sadly.

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

Ghost revaporated around here just shortly before you moo-sied back in. Must be destinty!

Stupot · Wed 22/08/2018 03:08:21

Maybe Yahtzee will roll in at some point.

Retro Wolf · Wed 22/08/2018 15:26:15

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.

Ponch · Thu 23/08/2018 01:40:25

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

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!

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

tzachs · Thu 23/08/2018 03:55:31

Both Ponch and Ghost are back? Happy days! Good to hear from you guys

Now just waiting for m0ds to return

Ponch · Thu 23/08/2018 23:30:11

Hi, Tzachs! How have you b- wait, m0ds is gone? Why am I only now learning this on page two of this thread? Who else is gone? Is Baron still here? Has anybody seen Grundislav or Mandle?!?

dayowlron · Thu 23/08/2018 23:43:16

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

That dancing cow guy was missing for several months.

ManicMatt · Sun 26/08/2018 20:02:36

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.)

MiteWiseacreLives! · Mon 27/08/2018 08:46:51

I'm so gald I started drinking alone and stumbled on this thread!

I'm totally caught up on AGS again and Ponch is still a cud chewin', dirty patty droppin', cleft hoof, spotted bucket of beef!
(btw, your looking good Buddy)

Baron · Tue 28/08/2018 02:50:20

You're never drinking alone in Canada, eh?

MiteWiseacreLives! · Sat 01/09/2018 15:36:15

Thanks Baron
