Hell I think we are all wondering where the hell that came from. Cause it really makes no sense even if the grammar is horrible. But anyway things have been pretty quiet around here lately so figured I would drop in and say something to add to the conversation or what not.

Ah, don't worry about Puddin. He's just really random at times. I usually get random text messages from him as well. :P Sometimes it's just what I need to brighten up my day.

Cause it really makes no sense even if the grammar is horrible.

What you said here made absolutely no sense whatsoever. "Cause it really makes no sense even if the grammar is horrible." What does that mean?

The way you stated it makes it mean that because the grammar is horrible it should make it make sense. That's just silly.

Hell I know having dial up really sucks ass. Because I'm downloading the newest Zune software to my computer and it's taken like 5 hours so far to download it. But living out in the country pretty much means thats all there is to get unless they become less picky where they can put broadband and cable around here.

I was just about to ask where he's buggered off to this time myself. Damned if I've seen him anywhere.

(*Looks under nearest rock* ...Nope. Damn.)

Second thing: I was wondering if you guys could help me out just a slight here. I know this is bad of me, but I can't help feel as if we've had a new member joining the EGB over the past month... But I can't think for the bloody life of me who it is. I'm sorry for this, but I was wondering if any of you can actually recall who it was.

Is it sushi13, or is that going too far back here?

Like I said over AIM just a few minutes ago, thanks Lizz.

Also, I think Hammer's right, I do believe it's Sushi. Though I can't help but wonder where the hell he's been. Hmm.

I haven't heard from EagleRock in weeks. He doesn't pick up the IRC chat, and I can't seem to get him on AIM, either. I do know that he started a new job IRL, and he's working the midnight "zombeh" shift. My guess is that until he gets used to being a vampire, he's probably just exhausted these past few days. I do hope he's okay.

As for the latest member - I think it's Sushi13, too. That's what the BBS tells me, anyway!

And 'Cobra, I'd be glad to make you a new sig based on the Vader / grammar police - but before I begin, if you would be so kind as to tell me some specifics as to what you want on it, it would help me out in the design phase. For example, besides your name, do you still want your clan affiliations and the image of the ship somewhere on it? Or do you want to try something different. Let me know what's on your mind, and I'll give it a go.

In parting, I hope all is well with everyone. The damn rain has finally stopped, and the only person laughing is some dude in a kayak paddling down the street. I hope he gets sucked down a storm drain!

That's not a ship, UFO or otherwise, Byte. That is what is called a Mech. Mech is short for Mechwarrior. It was, still is, and shall continue to be one the best games that Activision has put out on the PC. See more here.

That specific Mech is the Timber Wolf, which is the clan name. The two clans that I grew up knowing are Clan Wolf and Clan Eagle. The Innersphere name is Mad Cat. My brother and I are both huge Mechwarrior fans. We grew up playing Mechwarrior 2 for the computer when we were kids.

As far as the sig goes, do something new. I'll eventually swap back to my original Mechwarrior sig that I got from the NGSM a while back.

I remember that game. Played it for a little while. I have to agree it was very entertaining, and I did enjoy blowing things up!

Nice to hear that you and your brother are close. Do you still fire that game up for old time's sake?

Who didn't? The only missions I didn't like were the ones where you had no choice but to pilot a Firemoth. Seriously, they were and still and shall continue to be the suckiest Mech EVER! One or two blasts from a large pulse laser, you're firggin' dead! The Mad Dog was always fun to pilot as I had many missile variants for it as well as the Timber Wolf. The Nova, Kit Fox, Hellbringer, and Summoner were all my jumpjet variants with lasers.

The Kit Fox and Nova were good for recon where as the Hellbringer and Summoner were good for medium assault missions. The one Mech I always thought looked the coolest, was the Marauder. Seriously that thing looked really badass! Sure the Dire Wolf was the heaviest Mech with the highest amount of heat sinks and could handle a lot more weaponry, but it was slow as hell!

Nice to hear that you and your brother are close. Do you still fire that game up for old time's sake?

Heh, I wish! He and I do occasionally bicker, but that's just what brothers do. Also, Mechwarrior 2 only ran on Windows 95 and 98. There is no way in hell Windows Vista Ultimate or XP which what my brother has, will run it. I even tried to install a freeware version of the entire game a while back, it installed fine, but it wouldn't run. I even tried running it using Command Prompt. NOTHING! I need to get some newer Mechwarrior games. Mechwarrior 4 only goes as far as XP. Vista will run it, but it won't run the sound. >_> There need to be some Mechwarrior games for PS3. I haven't seen any at all!

I hate to ruin the mood (especially since I loved my Mechwarrior game too), but they specifically said that Mechwarrior 4 was gonna be the last one, and it only ever came out on the PC. God knows why they shelved MW5; the only reason I could ever find was some bullshit about "not advancing the genre enough".
...... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't think of a single game that was similar to the play style of the Mechwarrior series. They WERE the damn genre as far as I was concerned!

What's more annoying (and doesn't have anything to do with my own lack of game knowledge) is that for reasons known only to itself, MW4 simply refuses to install properly on this computer. It meets all the requirements, and it does go through the installation without any obvious hitches, and it'll even start up when you run it. But push any of the buttons on the main screen, and it crashes like a bitch.

There's also the smaller annoyance of my joystick losing its USB adaptor, meaning I'd have had to pilot a 'mech with a fucking keyboard. Which would've been a surreal experience to say the least.

I think I'll just have to accept the fact that my days spent blowing shit up in a giant walking tank are over. :(

Hell the one game I have been waiting on for years now is Kingdom Hearts 3. I mean yeah a lot of people may disagree with me when I say it was a really good game with a decent storyline. And plus another I really enjoyed about the 2nd one how they made the gummi ship flying into a game to where you could try to reach high scores and such. But in my own opinion it's one of the best games I played on the ps2. And now just waiting for it to come out on the ps3. Cause I know it's probably going to be exclusive to that system as it has been since the series first started back on the ps2.

Aw, this April Fool's joke is no where as annoying as the glaring red Chinese motif we had last year.

This year, wee are somehow inexplicably endowed to the works of Kevin Bacon. Meh, 1 can take take h1m or leave h1m.

Also, it seems all personal pronouns are being converted to his name, so 1 am using a "1" instead of an "eye" to bypass the filters. Use "Mee" and "Mi", too. I am up too early, and now I have to fudge personal pronouns on posts to avoid becoming "baconated". Yay, intentional misspellings!

Personally, I'd prefer someone cooler, like Ozzy Osbourne. Now, THAT would be a decent joke! Bring all of Newgrounds down into the dark realm that is Ozzy...yeah...

Maybe 1 should get some more sleep....

That's actually a pretty good idea to get around the omnious baconating that is going around. But got music to listen to while 1 browse around so guess it's not so bad that way.

Thank you Lizz! Great job, as usual!

So, today is April fools day.. And 1'm annoyed. Haha. This "April fools" Theme is rather annoying. Moreso than the China one that was on last year. For some reason this one is more annoying than anything. But oh well, after this roster 1'm not coming back on here until tomorrow anyway because of that reason.

Aww... don't let the Bacon get under your skin, my friend!

Plus, as you will have seen, 1 have added a new section to the roster. This being a back up file. Since a few days ago 1 "accidentally" deleted the roster for the NGPD... It was only pure luck that 1 got the roster back because 1 made a back up of it and linked it to the roster. So 1 will be doing that from now on. 1 wouldn't want to be put under the pressure of making the EGB roster again... It's too much hard work as it as and 1 couldn't recreate it even if I tried. Haha.

Thank God for backup copies. You have done well, my young Padawan!

Honestly, ï thought this April fool's was gonna be at least as good as last year's (seriously, ï stayed up 'til 5AM for THIS?), but all they've really done is bugger the BBS with a stupid word filter that makes everything nonsensical.
