Squaresoft74! Although he really didn't hang out here that much, but I used to chat with him all the time during the golden years of downloading pce isos.

Keranu's around, as is lord_cack, I kinda remember Missa, seems like there was another chick or two, Rainbow something?? Seldane is around, but AFAIK, only on the Ancient Land of Ys boards, & even then, he posts maybe once a year or so? Also, Odonadon is around, but he has had alot going on.

Damn, we're stirring up old ghosts but not getting too far.
Even TATS has reduced his posting here. Maybe it's just temporary/seasonal :)
Not that I can complain, of course.

ceti is just working all the time out in canuckistan.
Tats said he saw elnino recently. He may have morphed into a Hu-Card
On that note what ever happened to Override? His Gmail account spams me every once in awhile.

Yes! Where is Mike (as in Mr. Hegelson, correct?) and Sinistron.
I think Sinistron popped up last time I asked about him (spring 2011) and he's just busy with real life stuff. Maybe he even got sick of Turbo (but I don't want to believe that). :)
Even if you weren't referring to Mr. Hegelson, I will use this opportunity to say: "Hey, what's up?"

Man, I've been gone from these forums for MONTHS and you guys never asked where I was? I feel so crushed. :cry:
Anyhoo, real life has been taking over as I've been focusing on my job as well as doing workouts at the YMCA. I'm also driving around more often than usual. :)

Mike came back as ProfessorProfessorson, outed himself as such, told us how he was glad Steve Jobs died a horrible death of cancer, and then called a bunch of people "faggot". He made exactly 100 posts and hasn't done anything in a while. Just when you start to have doubts about the guy being a totally irredeemable dick, he goes and kicks those doubts to the curb. The guy is an a$$hole. He needs to spend time on a deserted island after being visited by the ghost of Whoopi Goldberg...I don't know. Some kind of spiritual awakening.
Isn't MisaFX the same person as PCEngineSales on eBay? If not...sorry, I got confused. If yes, I bought some of those SCART cables from her.
<joke> I have no idea who the f*ck this Nanto guy is. </joke>

There is something about Zeta calling someone an a$$hole that seems very hipocritical to me since it can be argued that he himself has been quite an a$$hole to a great many people here as well.
Perhaps that why I believe he dislikes Mike so much? Or perhaps I'm just being "f*cking stupid" which is more unforgivable than being gay imo. :roll:
Anyways Zeta, don't get your panties in a bunch and reply with an "a$$hole" remark; Just making a very good observation.
Alternatively, I think Mike was and is a great guy. He always showed me a lot of respect and I will always do the same in return. All I had to do was be myself, not insult him nor kiss his ass (knowing Mike, he would call you out for either). The only time I felt bad was when he and Dean were going back and forth over the unhappy customer issues since I happen to like Dean a lot as well.

I guess we all have a different opinion of what an "a$$hole is" but his recent outpouring of homophobic remarks is like a new chapter for Mike. Where I come from, "great guys" don't say shit like that. I used to think he was just derranged, and obsessed with people he thinks of as "scammers" to a nearly psychotic extent, but the new "Proffessor Mike" took a turn for the worst that I never expected. It isn't validation of my dislike for him, I have plenty of that, it's just more shit to dislike.

No.

Three if you count me.
We do.

I was wondering what happened to GUTS. Sold him my minty US Might & Magic 3 with map and never saw or heard from him after that. He posted quite a lot before I joined the forums in 06'.

GUTS is awesome. He has low tolerance for cr@p, though, and he left this forum when he felt that most posts were cr@p from uninteresting members.
His allegiance to PCE has never wavered, though. :)

Zeta didn't you rip Kitsa new one when he was being stupid about his car or something? Regardless, I remember laughing about the whole situation.

This happens pretty often. Some people have, in just a few months, amassed huge collections only to complete them and sell them off a few months later. I'd wager I've seen a dozen or so folks do this since joining.

Well Turbo D is probably drinking beer, riding dirt bikes and hanging with the ladies. hopefully he still plays the turbo.

Digi K stops by every once in awhile to post a photo and let everyone know he's doing all right. Last heard from him a few months ago.

He's been MIA for a while, but once in a blue moon, he'll post something as if he's never left! I love that. For example, I was drooling over some Super Famicom music recently that he posted (?) or commented on.
He seemed to be getting into chiptunes towards the end of his frequent-posting here.

Im still around, I peek in every great once and awhile just to see whats going on...Life just hasn't let me get back into the old school gaming seen. Probably to be honest I wont be back in it for awhile either. I am about to be moving again and I have been going through all my old stuff. I have sold quite a bit of it off already to make room for my new place with my new (hopefully) future wife. Women can change you drastically thats for sure, mainly though work is the main reason I got out of everything. Glad to see the forum is still up and everyone I know on here seems to be doing well! Maybe one day I'll be back and things will be better than they were before!

I've never posted a whole lot here, but for a while I was shoutboxing every night. I'm still here, but I had a little girl on Feb 11th, so not much time for messing on the computer...or Turbobing :( I'm still keeping an eye on the forums! If my girl will stay asleep maybe I'll hook up the TG16 and get some Air Zonk in...

Congrats, JKM. I can't think of a better reason to not OBEY than caring for a lil one.
Agreed, and in a few very short years she will be turbobing with you JIM. No better way to bond with your little girl than to play some Bonk 3 co-op. :wink:
