Title: Long time no see?
Post by: babidikrakenguard on August 25, 2013, 03:03:07 PM: BabidiKrakenGuard? Who the heck is that? :blink:

T'as been quite some time since I've last visited! Been... Going through some rough times as of late, though I'll avoid detail.

How has everyone been! All trouble aside, I've been well. :lol:

Post by: Kor on August 25, 2013, 03:05:01 PM: Things have been going good for me. Glad to have you back. :wave

Always great when a member visits again, even if it's been a while. Hope things get good for you soon. Lots of new threads, and older threads, for you to look over and post to.

Post by: Pangaea on August 26, 2013, 06:48:25 AM: Babidi, welcome back! :DD I was wondering what had become of you…

Lessee…this June I went to Arizona for a week to attend a workshop on bats. Then I went to California and hung out with FlipperBoidSkua, and finally the two of us went to Bracken Cave in Texas to see even more bats. (Here's (http://gangoffive.net/index.php?showtopic=12307) the thread if you'd like to hear more.) That's the most exciting thing that's happened to me lately.

I don't suppose you've come bearing any new artwork, have you? :angel (I've fallen off my reviewing game pretty badly, but I'd still like to see it if you have any.)

Sorry to hear that times have been rough for you. :neutral It's great to see you back, though!

Welcome back

Post by: Pangaea on August 26, 2013, 02:20:14 PM: ^ Somehow, Ruth, when I first saw your post, for a second I read "initiator" as "Irritator" (the name of a spinosaurid dinosaur). :p :wacko Doubly hilarious because babidikrakenguard's avatar is a spinosaur. :lol

Post by: LBTDiclonius on August 26, 2013, 02:22:00 PM: Hey, it's always good to see a familiar face on here. But, I'm not sure we've meet. If not, then it's a pleasure to meet you, and welcome back!

Post by: Chiletrek on August 26, 2013, 10:30:42 PM: Hello:
Well, I do recall your name indeed, no idea if you recall mine since my activity has not been great since a loooooooong time ago.

Anyways, welcome back to GoF! :DD .

Welcome back

Why thank you, Strut!

Strut!! How is your brother, Ozzy? Still out looking for those eggs? :lol

Yup! You might have seen a lot of things by me; mostly in the captions section. I had loads of fun throwing in screenshots of those two Egg Stealers. I'm wondering if I should re-post some of them? :DD

Another character that I had a lot of fun posting caps of was the Horned King - the main antagonist of Walt Disney's 25th Animated Feature, The Black Cauldron. :p

Pangy! Geez, how long has it been? You've still got Vampire-Spike as your avatar! :DD

I know you told me about the critter, but I forgot what it was called. :DD

Indeed, I've made a few more pixelly thingies. I think I might make another thread to repost some of 'em. Same old same old; mostly sprites of the Horned King.

Although I have started up doing a few sprites of a particular video game character who shall remain nameless, for the time. He's kinda worked his way into my favorite characters list, along with all those other fiendish fiends... :smile

I spontaneously cackled out loud when I read that comment. :lol I'd forgotten all about that in-joke.

It's a Lystrosaurus, a late Permian–early Triassic dicynodont that was a ubiquitous inhabitant of the supercontinent Pangaea. (I now have a short blurb in my signature to tell people what it is. ;))

Again, it's wonderful to see that you've returned. :smile

Post by: babidikrakenguard on September 11, 2013, 05:43:19 PM: Righto!

... Remind me not to try pronouncing that, because my tongue gets twisted in knots... :DD

Indeed! It feels good to be back! See familiar faces, and meet the new! :p
I feel bad about sorta... Fading off like that; I definitely had no intention on leaving, but things just sorta... Piled up on me. :unsure:

Trying to get all that off my mind... By posting PIXELS! :p (http://gangoffive.net/index.php?showtopic=12765&view=getnewpost)

It's not that bad, as far as scientific names go: "LISS-troh-SORE-us". (Maybe I should think about adding the pronunciation to my signature… :unsure:)

Don't worry about it. To a lesser extent, that sort of thing happened to me, too; I was off the GOF for months at a time. And I don't have the excuse of real life making it hard to find time for the forum; I was just in a rut.

Well, at least that's one person :p I saw you like the Horned King, did you write a few fanfictions to do with him on fanfic.net? I remember reading a bunch of them a few years ago by someone called 'Krakenguard'. If it is you, I think they were pretty good - The Black Cauldron used to creep me out as a kid :lol
Title: Long time no see?
Post by: babidikrakenguard on September 12, 2013, 01:36:57 PM: You read some of those? :blink:

... :blink:

Can't-can't think of any other person by the name of Kraken Guard, so they must have been mine. :lol

... :lol

... I am a weird person. :p

Thank you! A whole lot, things have been crazy. I will make another post about that somewhere though, I feel like I shouldn't ramble on about myself in someone else's welcome thread :smile

Post by: DarkWolf91 on September 28, 2013, 02:46:25 PM: Alright! I shall probably do that.
