Insert Coin to Continue... (Returning from a Hiatus)

Galen · 06-12-2008, 11:10 AM

Wow, how long has it been... 5 years? I haven't been here in half a decade. This place has changed somewhat. I do believe I left shortly after the new options went up, mostly because the site became stagnant for me. As I think back, I doubt many of you even remember me though, I can't say I'd blame you for it.

I have my first user name, so any of the old users from 7 years ago and shorter might still remember me. I don't know why I decided to come back; I suppose you could say it was nostalgia.

I hope I'll be able to give to the community this time around, and am hoping to get to know all of you soon.

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 06-12-2008, 11:14 AM

zomg Galen! hai

Of course we remember you. Poke your head into the battlefield; there's going to be a goddamn bloodbath party, what with them seeing you back and all.

Welcome, and be merry.

Galen · 06-12-2008, 11:16 AM

You believe so? Then I think I'll take you up on that offer. Although... I find that my skills in that particular field may have dwindled. It'll be refreshing to see some old faces again though, it's wonderful to know you're still around.

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 06-12-2008, 11:23 AM

They lurk moar, but I can guarantee some happy faces even if you don't feel like giving someone a good beating. If nothing else, I'm pretty excited to see you here again, though.

Galen · 06-12-2008, 11:31 AM

And I'm happy to hear that. ^^

Granted, I've been keeping myself busy, but with things slowing down outside of work I have more time to myself so I can do more things; and this place popped into my head. Hard to believe I'd ever forget about it, but at least I managed to find my way back.

Platinum · 06-12-2008, 11:38 AM

Welcome Back!!! Play in the Arcade and try for the highscores!!! Have a great time!!!

Galen · 06-12-2008, 11:45 AM

I wonder why you'd tell me that? Oh, and I see you're the Arcade Mod now. Coincidence? ^^;

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 06-12-2008, 11:53 AM

Don't they all come back in the end? IRHP has recently reappeared, too (know him, or the name?), which no one ever thought would happen.

Galen · 06-12-2008, 11:56 AM

What's the non-abbreviated version?

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 06-12-2008, 12:02 PM

"I REALLY HATE POKEMON"

Not to be confused with Tubster, since I think he was "I HATE POKEMON" to start with.

Galen · 06-12-2008, 12:09 PM

I remember him from a ways back, when I started frequenting other forums than the Battlefield. I didn't think he'd have left too. ^^;

***Ace Mercury*** · 06-12-2008, 12:24 PM

I remember the name, but obviously others have remembered the reputation.

Galen · 06-12-2008, 12:28 PM

For me it's mostly the name I remember, considering I don't remember all that much of VGF.

Robotazy · 06-12-2008, 01:54 PM

Oh, snap. Galefore? Is that you?

I kid.

Obviously, you've been here before, so I'll just introduce myself.

I'm Tazy! The Freindly Neighborhood Saiya-Jin! (quiet. I'm not taking your "Saiya-Jin hate")

You know your way around, so enjoy!

Dizzy · 06-12-2008, 02:19 PM

All right, Galen! I remember you from reading some of the old threads. It seems like a lot of members are coming back here. Now if we could only get Tub O' Troopa and T2K to come back...

1-up Salesman · 06-12-2008, 02:23 PM

Hello! We hope you enjoy your return to VGF! I hope to meet you on the field of battle in Gunjin!

Redshirt · 06-12-2008, 02:25 PM

Welcome back.

**Loot** · 06-12-2008, 05:19 PM

There's very little I remember about you, Galen. But, nonetheless, howdy.

Jere · 06-12-2008, 05:41 PM

It seems an old veteran have returned to the forum, i want to say welcome and hope we "new members" don't scare you away.

And i have to ask if you may be from Sweden your name sounds like a swedish word so i wonder.
It would be nice whit a fellow swede here to discus stuff whit.

Galen · 06-12-2008, 10:18 PM

It's nice to see people are responding in this thread; my Gunjin thread seems to be having much less of an impact...

Now let's see, where to begin?

To Tazy; I don't hold a grudge towards Sayia-jins, I enjoyed the show so I don't give any flack towards the concept being used by members.

I'm flattered that you know of me DarkZero, and I hope people like Phenom and Luigiman are around also; they were a whole level above me in the Gunjin.

I've your threads in the Gunjin 1-up Salesman, I'll be looking forward to reading them and possibly taking up a challenge against you if I am feeling up to it.

Thank you Mushman, your user name seems quite familiar to me.

Luigi007, might you actually be Luigiman? Or have possibly been in the Gunjin? I do remember being alongside him in many a tag battle, those were the days. You should join me sometime.

My apologies Jere, but Galen is an old name I found to my liking and have stuck with for over a decade; I pronounce it as Gay-Lenn, if you were curious.

I'm quite litterally elated to be able to reconnect with people here.
