Board 8 > Saying hello after a long absence

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hey, whaddup, this is the user formerly known as Abomstar(runner). Few will remember the name and fewer still will remember anything about me, but I spent nearly all my free time on this board from 20052006. I met a few awesome friends on here but eventually just splintered off from the larger board dynamic. I'm 27 now and have led a remarkably uneventful life, currently working an office job at a college. In 2008, Giant Bomb replaced GameFAQs as my primary source for gaming info and I've kept up with everything they've done.

Needless to say, Character Battle X has gotten my nostalgia centers churning again. I totally missed out on LBlock, Draven, Undertale, and all of that, so its been fun to research on Board 8 Wiki and try to piece together a decent bracket. Ive been enjoying reading Leonhart4's bracket analysis particularly.

Just wanted to introduce myself since Ill probably be a lurker throughout this contest. If anyone wants to add me on Switch (SW-4423-2271-4148) or on Glitchwave (username Abomstar) thatd be cool.

I'll never forgive you for voting me out in the SHINE award contest

Thank you! Reasonably happy and doing well overall. Just taking things easy and discovering new music to appreciate, mostly.

There were a couple of years when I was really determined to make music in a serious sense as an experimental rock artist, but it hasn't happened yet. Work takes so much out of me and I tend to get mentally fatigued really quickly, even just from playing games. I'm still so obsessed with music and games that it's difficult to focus on much else, and it's not like I'm going to settle down and start a family any time soon, so there's still hope.

Yes, that was me, and I still am! I was such an annoying proselytizer about them back then, but that's rad you remembered.

Easily the most influential band of my life, but nowadays I'm probably even more into Death Grips.

i remember you very fondly! i doubt you have any idea who i am

LCad. He's an amazing person and we are all still in touch, but we don't chat as regularly anymore.

oh yes! lcadwallader

also i forgot about that! my invite tree there has basically the entirety of b8 and everyone they ever invited. it's pretty crazy to look at.

if you use discord at all, there's a board 8 discord that is sometimes an okay place to be

Myself or LCad would have been the most likely culprits of any forced Spiderman Donnell Rawlings P1ZZ4related content.

Janus, yes! You were/are cool.

I wish I could remain motivated to play Rock Band 4 but they make it so difficult to stay engaged given the rate at which DLC trickles out. Those who are playing GH/RB at the highest levels nowadays are absolutely astonishing.

I don't think we ever interacted much but lcad was my good online friend like a decade ago so if you remember next time you're talking to him, tell him Robazoid says hi
