Well with where I was last year (ish) they really couldn't get any fucking worse. I'm okay. Don't feel like writing my life story right now, especially considering I have to leave for work in a little more than an hour.

On another note, new layout, I kinda dig, but why can't I look up my old posts anymore? I can only look up the "recent" posts, which is this one I'm typing right now and the one I wrote last night. That's kind of annoying.

Someone blew up the site and it had to get rebuilt on new tech. Was it Taskmage that did it this time? We can still blame him for everything, right?

Also: welcome back.

Like... terrorist attack blew up? Or just hardware died blew up? Or administrator hulk smash blew up?

So Ketaru has a little sister.

Re: Official Bored at Work / Off-Topic Chat Thread II

Or maybe he wants to be a little sister. <_<;

*ehem*

Hey Ketaru, what's wrong with your comp? Is it something a clean OS reinstall can fix or did your keyboard (laptop?) die a dishonorable death?

The game goes based on the team. The difficulty is as follows.

Team Rose - Easiest, for beginners, least amount of stages.
Team Chaotix - Normal, made for players who are familiar with the game.
Team Sonic - Medium, for moderate players who have played sonic, good amount of stages.
Team Shadow - Hard, for seasoned players who have played sonic titled games before, a lot of stages, which increase in difficulty as you progress.

Overall I played Team Shadow First and got stuck on the last stage. I quit the game and didn't play it ever again. I skipped Sonic Unleashed, due to them turning him into a werehog. What the hell is a werehog? The closest I got was to playing the demo. Sonic The Hedgehog for the 360 was linear and very terrible, the dashing stages had you there for hours trying to dodge objects. The first stage had me irritated enough to snap the disc, let along when I got to the harder stages where the camera pans around and sonic is running AT you trying to dodge debris being thrown towards him. Sonic Generations and Sonic Colors are the way Sonic is meant to be. I've been playing Sonic since his debut on PC/Sega Saturn/Sega Genesis/Game Gear/Neo Geo Pocket.

I thought Sonic Heroes was the last good Sonic game before they started the downward spiral.

Maybe it was only because of Team Chaotix though...

He actually didn't. He did cut back significantly, but he's not all-together gone. I actually talk to him on occasion via Skype. He and his wife are swamped with a lot of RL stuff going on ATM.

He got a new job that forces him to commute almost a full hour more each way than he used to, they're considering moving and he also just stopped playing FFXI recently as well thanks to the same CC issue that a lot of people are complaining about.

I would assume that him not being here as often is really just a combination of those things.
