Title: Hello to old friends!
Post by: Kinoko on Fri 26/06/2009 18:03:25
Hey guys!

I was just passing by :) Seriously, I had to go to the tech forum for something and I thought, "Heck. What's going on in my old hangout?"

Is there anyone still around these days that I know/knew me? If not, uh, guess this is kinda awkward. Go back to your business I guess.

Well duh! I'm sure plenty of people know you.

It's just rather sad to see old people come back, but never stick around. You've made a come back before, Don the barbarian, Dan Clarke, other people as well. I'm not too frequent anymore either. But my homepage is the AGS forums for the last 4-5 years now! ;)

Welcome back? Will you be here tomorrow?

I do remember you. and I got the calender! YAY! (It's quite lovely, btw)

Aww. You make me feel like I'm saying "no" to breakfast the next morning and telling you I'll call :)

I don't know, probably not because I just haven't used AGS in years and I'm busy all the time. I find it hard to remember to check much beyond Twitter, Facebook and LiveJournal. (See? I'm already too social on the internet :)

But I can try to check in more often.

Oh, great! God, I would have killed a random postman if a second one got lost.

EDIT:

Quiet, Vincent.

Mr Flibble, I remember you. Mind you, you may still be right. I suspect I remain quite VIVIDLY in most minds -_-

Hey there. Your more recent comics sort of feel like especially strange acid trips, but they're still about ten thousand times better than anything I could ever draw, so I should probably just shut up. Anyway... welcome back (briefly? :()!

(No idea if you actually know me. But I never let that get into my way.)
Title: Re: Hello to old friends!
Post by: Kinoko on Fri 26/06/2009 18:25:41
Well, you know, strange things happen in them. It's the point :)

Hey all you people! This is great, I'm glad to see this place is still pumping.

How are you all? All of you. Every single one. HOW??!?!?!?!

I just uploaded the thing I came here to figure out, a French translation of Cirque de Zale. Er, if any French speakers wanna play it... have at: http://kinokofry.com/misc/cirque.zip

EDIT: Babar... that attitude will get you nothing. I -was- just about finished the game but you've insulted me so much, I just deleted the whole thing. Years and years of tireless work.

Hiya Kinoko, it's nice seeing some old faces every now and then... I guess you could call me that too, though writing this, I don't feel that old. I guess it's the real life taking too much part in the normal life, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, there's been a change around here, I've seen it, and I've grown a bit less frequent too, but that doesn't mean I, or you shouldn't come and pop in every now and then just for laughs. After all, we're all mates here, and no-one never really gets rid of the AGS atmosphere, right? You should know, you were here before me... right? Wow, has it really been that long.

See, I make sure, that I come often enough, that a "hello I'm back" -thread is never needed. :D

Hey Kinoko.
I follow you on Twitter and RSS.  I think it was one of your Twitter posts that introduced me to the BlueHearts' Linda Linda, which led to me discovering a whole load of old school Japanese punk, so thanks for that :-) \o/

Did you disappear? I think I disappeared from here 5 years ago, still see what's happening every now and then, lots of new names, oldies that are newer than me that probably never heard of me. I've become a Queenslander since then

LF: I'm glad, thankyou!

Snake: I ain't forgotten ya :) You or your cool-arse avatar.

Tuomas: Exactly. I'm still hoping to hear that one of the meet-ups is gonna be held in whatever country I happen to be in. I'm still gutted I missed out on Greece.

Stupot: Argh! Yes, that makes me very happy :) There are some damn good bands out there that could do with some extra loving. The Blue Hearts are/well, were just amazing.

Timosity: Oh yeah? I've become a Victorian now :)

Mods: I am totally famous now. I'm posting right now from my diamond-studded jet plane.

I still know you, I still remember you... and I am always happy when I find one of your nice little oddballs over at the "d'Art" ;)

Now come back for heaven's sake and make CCZ2! Or at least TELL me if they finally release the princess!

Heya Kino...you may notice I still have that avvy that I commissioned from you. Thanks again for that by the way. Too bad this is just a random bit droppings-by and not a formal welcoming backs...anyway...good to see you're still alive. That's always nice to know. :=

Seeing as I only ever passively stalked you...whatever happened with that marriage thing I remember you mentioning once upon a time. Did that ever go through?
Title: Re: Hello to old friends!
Post by: Kinoko on Sat 27/06/2009 19:28:05
Ghost: She just became princess of a small dungeon.

Monkey: Wha? Marriage? ... I guess you must be referring to when I was engaged about a million years ago. I honestly forget about that, and I forget that I was active here while that was happening.

Anyway, no, that definitely didn't go through. I went to Japan and ended up living there for several years :) Have been through much, much, much since then.

Hadn't someone better reset the counter?

I remember you..mostly not you, just Nikolas saying "When Kinoko returns she'll pawn you all, mark my words fools!!!" or something similar, but indeed you've been missed. You're from an AGS era that was endind when I first joined the forums, thus I've never really online-met you..
Title: Re: Hello to old friends!

Who am I pawning and how much will I get for them?

Pardon my stupidity...if I am remembering things correctly here...you moved to Japan before you went inactive right?

I must've missed that Japan was an alternative to the engagement. I apologize if I've dragged up any bad memories.

So anyway, since you spent so long living in Japan I'm curious if you kept any type of blog or diary of any sort whilst there...my youngest sister is obsessively into anime and has expressed multiple times that she dreams of visiting Japan...she would be very interested in reading anything you may have written about your experiences there (keeping in mind that she's 15 years old ;)).

As for "t3h p4wn1ng" I think if you really wanted to you could destroy anyone here you want...except possibly CJ...he is after in possession of the indefatigable, ineffable power of the onion ring...now...who you're "meant" to be destroying...that could be a different story.

It's nice to see you back here, though I'm sorry to hear that the Gift of Aldora is a thing of the past.

I love the illustrations on your site!

According to my stats as the same amount of money as the chance of Legend of Leitor's Edge, Fountain of Youth, Forgotten Element and my game being released.

Hmm. I didn't keep an official Japan Blog or anything. But if I wrote anything about Japan in my early days, it'd be on my LJ: http://kinokofry.livejournal.com

Though I have NO IDEA what I wrote there anymore. It'd start around July 2005 if you wanna hunt for it.
