Where has Ender been? Is he excited about an adaptation of Ender's Game finally being made? (No). The truth of the matter is, I disappeared from this forum many years ago... wandering out of the gaming community to spend 100% of my time on art and design projects. I graduated from the University of Tennessee with a BFA in graphic design, with almost completed minors in literature and art history. I spent 2.5 years working for the U.S. Government only to become unhappy and bored.
Last year, I sold many of my belongings, packed a large suitcase and hopped on a bus from TN to New York City, where I have been living since. I started out sleeping on a friend's painting studio floor, but now share an apartment in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn with a college friend and a girl who went to college in DC with one of my best friends.
I often thought about returning to Overwritten but couldn't remember my password until now. But now I'm back. I deleted Facebook last week and decided I needed another place to vent my insanity. Also, who would have known this, but I also perform stand-up comedy routinely in Brooklyn -- if only for the free bourbon drinks.

I live in Tennessee and love bourbon.
We could have been best buds.
Also, I'm fairly sure you were before my time here.
-
Welcome back, Ender!
-
Hello K-Man! Yes, I was an oldie. Cheers to your bourbon love.
Xessive! Hello! Did anyone think I was dead?
-
I just assume everyone dies as soon as they hit the "Post" button. I'm always relieved when I see a new post, followed shortly by immense sadness.
I should probably stop that.
-
Ahh, idol. How have you been?
-
I'm good except I'm still on dialup if you can believe it.
PS we have an IRC channel if you're interested (link in the top bar of the page). I'm on most days with a few other people.
-
Holy shit! I went to an IRC last month that I used to go to, and it was filled with anti-government conspiracy theorists. Glad to know there's still one around with decent folks. I'll hop on sometime.

Welcome back, ender. OW has thinned about a bit and slowed down some since you've been here, but I'm sure almost all the names you do see will be familiar. I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I barely game at all anymore. My signature image is from Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and it's just because I haven't bothered to change it to something else in several years. I got married in 2010 and moved from Ohio to Florida a couple of years ago (thankfully not onto someone's floor). Also, remember all those political arguments I used to have with nickclone? Yeah, I'm moderate-to-liberal now and frankly am embarrassed that I used to identify as a Republican.
-
Haha, oh man. Good to see you're still here scott. Yes, I remember you're political arguments. Glad to hear you're edging away from the republican party, ha! Amazing. Well congratulations on your marriage and the big move. Yeah, I barely play games at all anymore. I played Skyrim, Fallout 3, and now I am playing GTA V. That's about it. Spend a lot of time working at a graphic design studio and exploring all of the amazing food options of NYC.
So great some folks stuck around at least. It's been a long haul.

Welcome back!

Alright, let's get back to business. Where the hell is Pugnate? Let's get these reviews rolled out... oh ok, maybe that ship has sailed.
-
I was wondering what happened to you.

I was wondering what happened to you.
Hey buddy! Yep still around. What's new with you?
-
Hey buddy! Yep still around. What's new with you?
Nothing. Literally.
I dropped out of art school, moved back in with my parents, and have been stagnating for years. I live in my brother's laundry room right now, and have almost no personal possessions other than my aging PC, my Xbox 360, and my clothes and bed.
-
Well, there's always time to go back, but nothing wrong with stagnation. I just had a friend who at 40 decided to get his BFA, then decided he wanted a masters degree in art and he got into Yale.

MORE IMPORTANTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO BRUCE JENNER?

HOLY SHIT!!!!
-
hahaha welcome back! :)
-
I was wondering where you were, Pug.
-
Welcome back, dude! Been a long time.
Going back to school myself. Got divorced, moved to Texas (still questioning this one), went back to college. Living with my girlfriend and two dogs now. Writing stories and books and stuff in the hopes somebody will be dumb enough to pay me.
-
It HAS been a long time. Glad to hear you're writing and still around on here.
Okay let's all gather in for a big group hug now.
-
No more reviews, but still writing for sure.
There's a mostly useless thread with some of it floating around. Stuff's been taken down since most was posted (Solarcide took down my story as they're going to put it in their best-of print anthology, which is exciting, and the one at Downer is gone because... well, Downer is gone), but the last one is recent and still posted: http://www.overwritten.net/forum/index.php?topic=8813.msg120681#msg120681
