Oh, were you gone?

Ah, the humor's as sharp and witty as I remember it.

It's good to be back.

I will install Asteroids into the BBS if you stay.

Hey, welcome back, Ben.

Thanks, Roody. I miss anything good around here the last month or two?

Nothing really, but it hasn't been too bad, either. Worm has been sharing Oblivion mod experiences, Robb has been keeping us up to date on latest IF news, and then there's been some other stuff I can't remember. (and Aardvark is writing some story that I keep meaning to start)

Anyhow, it's been keeping me entertained.

Is there a better Asteroids you can install than the one on Groucho? That one's way to easy.

I'm efforting to get you a better copy. Hopefully Thursday night I'll know for sure.

Will there by hyperspace? Hyperspace is a good idea whose time has come. I prefer hyperspace in all my asteroid gaming.

Can there be Williams' games also? Beserk and Defender.

If the Asteroids version is pants I'll program a new one. Granted, after I finish Creeping Maw, BUT STILL.

Try telling me there. Like I said, I have a ton of games not installed yet and I'm counting on the players rating the games (and leaving comments on them or on the BBS proper) so I can prune out the crap and put in the good. I'm resisting the option to just dump a couple hundred games on there, I'd like to add a few at a time and prune a few, to keep it a reasonable size with good games only.

And PB returning? WORST NEWS EVER. What a self-serving pathetic piece of fucksteak. "I'm leaving!" "I'm back!" "I'm leaving!" "I'm back!" "Love me, Daddy!" "Pay attention to me!"

Fucking DIE already. Or at least go away once and for all.

He just quietly went away for a little while the last time. I think you're being way too mean to poor Pinback. Why does EVERYONE on the Internet hate his guts? I really don't understand it.

(I see about half of you ready to respond. Let me add, I don't want to understand it.)

Oh.

You can chime in. I just didn't want it to be a JQW, CO and Knuckles free-for-all against you. I mean, in the past that was fine, but now? We're onto bigger and better things. Did I mention that crazy guy at Padri?

I tend to be self-absorbed, and behave in ways which are, at their core, obviously just cries for attention.

I try to be entertaining while I do it, which I hope has softened the blow for many, but not everyone finds me entertaining, so they're stuck with nothing but my petulant, immature behavior. Which, I can see how that could be exasperating.

That's my guess, anyhow.

Forget all that. Welcome back, Ben.

Robb was kind enough to hold off on posting the rest of the Best All-Time Video Games until you had returned.
