I guess everyone moved on. It's a shame really.

So what you're saying is, Hnet Discord is the next step?

Good lord anyone else have those days when you check out that super dead forum you used to post on all the time years ago and cringe at how all your old posts are the most obnoxious twee teenager things ever created? Or is it just me?? I hate Past!Me, haha. Why did any of you like her, honestly.
It's weird how barren this place is now, considering how gung-ho we all were back in like 2012/2013 about never letting this place die. This has been some nostalgia trip... feels like my time here happened decades ago rather than only a few years ago. I wonder how you guys are doing these days, even the users I wasn't close friends with (or close in the slightest, or even flat-out dislike) you all were pretty special and/or entertaining and will always be a part of my teenage years. IDK, I doubt anyone will see this post anyways. Is the IRC even active still? I'm too nervous to check hah.

The hardest part is now working on the sequel. I wrote book 1 in 2011, rewrote it in 2014. I started book 2 in 2011, but ceased work in 2012 with school. I have 5 year old notes to look through and memorize again

My book, Ceatera was written while I was in high school. I rewrote it and then sat on it for three years. Now it's being published by Amazon.
 
See guys? I did amount to something. Years of shitposting on this forum did do something productive.

Been away from Hnet for awhile. It's good to see some familiar faces.
I'm mostly doing pretty well, except I'm still not good at socializing or making plans with friends. Combined with my unusual work schedule (work Friday to Tuesday) it's a little isolating. I've been working a lot, selling insurance.
I got back into playing the oboe a few years ago. Mostly in the local community band, which plays a lot of popular music, but other project pop up as well. I'll be playing parts from Vivaldi's Gloria in a couple weeks, which is pretty scary for me but also exciting.
I've also been playing a lot of Breath of the Wild and various games on my 3DS.
 

A little late to respond, but oh well. I didn't know you were a Methodist too! I love Wesley Foundations in general, even though I'm having a hard time at this one in particular. I find them to be an extremely underutilized part of the Methodist Church, especially in the sense that basically nobody talks about them. I don't think I ever heard about one in my many years of youth group, which is kind of crazy! But once I did get involved in college, it really did change my life.

I've been trying to program a robot since the last time I was here. I also got into theatrical acting, so I've been taking the class for it in school. I really love acting and improv, so it's great! I played through the Metal Gear Solid series, and boy howdy it probably changed my life, it was so good. 
I have a 4.8 GPA and I'm still scared about getting into college. So my anxiety is pretty awful. I have a girlfriend.
 
Not sure what else to say, but there's the update.
 
Oh, shit, that sounds terrible. What disease is it, and is there anything you can do to treat it?

I got diagnosed with a debilitating brain disease a few months ago and haven't been able to do much since. Been doing well otherwise, just trying to find odd jobs to work.

I'm baffled even after all these years that you got the name "Zeldafan" without having to add any numbers. Anyway welcome back

Happy Birthday Jeeeeesus!

I really enjoy video essays, so this series has been a lot of fun. Mark Brown does a lot of videos on game design, and he's been doing these since June, starting with A Link to the Past, followed by Link's Awakening, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Oracle of Ages/Seasons, The Wind Waker, and just today, The Minish Cap.
The series is best watched in order, I think, to appreciate how his understanding and approach to design analysis develops. Even in his latest video on The Minish Cap, he's still tweaking how he breaks down the dungeons, and lays out his diagrams.
I think it's a lot of fun to see the games broken down and studied like this, and I hope someone else does too.

im here too

This site will always be running.  Forever...

I'm finally going home!!!! I just got the ok from my Doctor. My discharge date is August 30th or 31st. 

Holy moly... this site is still up and running.  

But there are no kingdoms to destroy, no peoples to slay or enslave. All you have are hollow mouths to feed, and they'll feast on one another until they've all turned to dust. And you will rule over the dust. But you'll probably have a bunch of pets actually. Indifferent, characterless pets who take but dont return.
What I'm saying is I'm jealous.

@Knuckle's kingdom, the City of the Dead.
Pheo is now King of His Heart, a position u will never hold over him. What have you won?

Link does speak, I've seen it happen in Hyrule Warriors. Though I don't remember what he said, it has been forever since I last played it. But if anyone else owns Hyrule Warriors for Wii U, I guarantee going to the first level and looking for his little speech. (There's only one moment where Link talks for all I know.)

this dude is one

I can't even grasp how people could possibly complain about this. This trailer we were given is literally one of the best trailers I've ever seen. The game... Even since Skyward Sword I've been bitching and moaning for a Zelda game that does exactly what Breath of the Wilds is doing now. It's exactly what I wanted down to a T, and I can't wait for the new adventures that await me.
