So, since you're on, how's things been going.

Incredibly bad, actually, but thank you for asking. Things have been downhill for me for a while now.

MassimoV · « **Reply #29041 on:** February 09, 2012, 10:48:24 PM »

Well that's too bad. I still can't believe that you're back here man.

Well, I feel badly about that. I feel like I should have stuck around but I made too many enemies in the community and honestly it was just best that I vanished into oblivion and waited for them to disappear. It seems most times I return here and post I end up arguing with some other veteran user (Mad Scientist, Starcore, etc). If I could go back and redo my time in the communities I totally would, and I'd do things a hell of a lot nicer and less offensive. I made the grim mistake of letting non-notable fame get the best of me and I pissed off a lot of people and burned a lot of bridges.

Lucky for you, there isn't many people around from before gametechmods except Click and ACAMS. Firebeetle shows up like every six months too.

Yeah, well that's kinda disappointing I guess. I see a couple familiar faces here and there (literally a couple) but it seems GTM's community these days is comprised largely of "new" Robot Arena 2 players and bot builders. I guess my reputation precedes me here, understandably. I miss the old days, which for me were "RoboUplink and RA.com". Good times. I remember when I found RA1 in a software store on a school field trip. I had to borrow money from a friend to buy that game even though I had no idea it was total crap. If all of what anyone knows of me is based upon the information in the wiki article on me then I fear my actual personality will be quite the letdown to a good many people.

Though I'm not sure if I miss the 2003-era because times were at least a little nicer to me instead of genuinely missing the original RA2 community. I still can't believe it's almost been a decade since the game came out. I wrote an article back in November 2009 about Pokemon: The First Movie and in it I said "I'm not yet ready to come to terms with the fact that some of the fondest memories of my life are now in the double digits in terms of age". I feel that way about RA2 as well. I wish I could say I've accomplished something these past few years, but when I look to what I've done I draw a blank.

Most everyone was a teenager back when I was active in the community, even me. :P We're all in our 20's now.

As far as building things, is that RA2 or IRL? I lost my installations of RA2 in an HD crash and with it I believe I lost the progress I had on the RFS AI Pack V1.7. I don't think I've played RA2 in a while though, I'll have to check my external HD's to see if I have anything. Still have the disc and original box, though. :)

IRL, though, I no longer compete in robotic events, and haven't since 2004 unfortunately. There's just no events where I live (San Antonio, TX) and I don't have the money to fly to California or Pennsylvania and stuff with my bots. I couldn't afford to build the robots anyways; I'd have to use my decade+ old parts from my original robots. I just don't have the money these days. I just recently (last night) finished filling out the required forms to apply for welfare and food stamps and all that mess. There's no money for robot batteries and motors in there.

Wow, you got a loooong history buddy. Sage has got both stock and DSL in his signature so if you download and post, you will have the biggest topic bump ever. Your showcase is last in the DSL showcase.

You're a brony. You no longer exist at all.

Says the guy who already admitted to liking Fluttershy. :P
But dammit I'm an oldfag too and deserve some respect! I was a member of RFSHQ for about 3 days.

Yeah I was a member of RFSHQ for about 3 days.

I was a brony before "brony" was even a thing. *hipster*

I'm not going to lie, I'm "kind of" into the current generation of ponies. I'm just a little distant because of how badly I was bullied as a kid for liking ponies. I don't belong to any brony websites or communities. I just watch the show and I have a Fluttershy toy that sits atop my Xbox.

I've also drawn copious amounts of porn of her. XD

As for RFSHQ, I was a member for 4 years. Har har. Made a lot of mistakes there as well. Kinda strange seeing the site crash and burn like it did. I moved to GatorAIDS when I left RFSHQ. I still write comedy there, and still run a mostly inactive humor/gaming community. I just try not to make the same mistakes I did with RFSHQ.

Hey that's cool, I don't blame you. I took a personal inventory around the last year I was there and I wasn't really there either. I just wish I didn't up and leave as suddenly as I did, though. I don't think any less of you for not being a part of my star-crossed website.
