Look who came back...

Wow, what can i say, except that after about 1 year of being absent i've finally returned. Though i have been pretty busy with college, work, and getting back into world of warcraft, i have to admit that my interest in LBT dropped after the studio closed down. But i got back into it after my friend wanted to have a LBT marathon (if it can really be called that. We planned to watch 6 movies one day, and the other 7 the next. Ended up being 6 the first day, 3 the second, 2 the third, 1 the fourth, and we never even saw the 13th one since i didn't own it).

Now before i go one about changes in my life, i want to say thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday this april. My birthday marked my 3rd year of being a member of the GoF (Not a very good start if i do say so myself

).

Alright moving on. I am now 20 years old. I've finished my 2nd year in college and moved out of my house to live in Edmonton to finish the remaining 2 years of my degree in Computer Science at the University of Alberta (one of the reasons why i wanted to watch all the LBT movies since i left them all behind (except the first one of coarse)).

Well thats about everything that happened and i'm glad to be back after all this time. Oh and for everyone that joined within the past year, hello and welcome to the GoF!

Glad to have you back. I wondered what you had gotten yourself into. Sounds like college is going good for you. Hope you continue to visit here.

Welcome back with us

Must be awesome to have a nearby living friend who would want to take an LBT marathon. Did you invite him or her to the GOF? He or she might enjoy this place too

I hope you can remain a regular or semi regular also.

I heard some folks call that MMO warcrack. I guess the way it can be addicting to some, or long amount of time some spend there.

Honestly, i was quite surprised myself. I don't think he would want to join the gof, he was getting pretty sick of the after the the first day. Oh and i also screwed up, we watched 6 movies the first day, 3 the second, 2 the third, and 1 on the fourth day, the reason being that my friend couldn't watch anymore.

Yea it can be pretty bad sometimes, though other times i can't stand playing it. It was pretty bad before though, especially since my supervisor at my job played it also so we talked about it a lot at work. I don't play as much anymore, so i think i got my addiction under control

Well I think it's about time I give this another shot. For the last seven years I had pretty much lost interest in LBT with the series being dropped and dealing with school. I had even completely forgot about the GoF as well until the facebook group posted about the announcement of the 14th movie almost 2 years ago. It wasn't until one closing shift in April that I was working when I decided to check to see if this site still even exists or is active, mostly out of boredom and curiosity. I was happy to see it still kicking around as well as seeing some familiar faces. The real kicker for me though was finding out that I first joined this community just over 10 years ago, that's when I started to reflect fondly on some of the things I was apart of. Whether it was the singing projects, multi-player testing Action9000's game (and all of us typing in the lyrics to big water), and goofy things like playing LBT themed Jeopardy to name a few. I was tempted that night to log on and make this post but I was worried that it would be a repeat of 2010 where I became active again for a short time then disappeared. I felt like I had find a way to help keep interest in the series other than just having a new movie recently come out.

Luckily an idea had already come up naturally with getting back into drawing. It just never clicked in my mind at first since I had never really bothered with the fan art section. The idea first started earlier this year when my friend and I decided to draw up our own yu-gi-oh cards after talking about how we used to draw them when we were in grade 8. So I chose to make an entire LBT themed deck and after drawing around 50 of them (40 is a standard yu-gi-oh deck size) I still felt like drawing more. I'm planning on making a post on showing all the cards I drew as soon as I get things organized as well as posting somewhat more traditional drawings in the future if anyone is interested. I'm hoping that this will help draw me back and sustain interest.

On a completely random note, my best friend (and also the person who first helped get me back into LBT) just recently celebrated his son's first birthday and I gave him all my LBT movies that I owned on DVD so here's hoping his son loves the movies as much as I did (and do)!

I've been lurking on this site now for almost a week now contemplating writing this post and I am happy to finally do it. I hope to stay at least somewhat active in the future. 3rd times the charm, right?

Hi!
Welcome back!

How was LBT14 for you?

Feel free to post your drawings. lbt themed cards sound very cool!

Hi Flathead!

Wow, I've been here for over 4 years now and still I meet new people from the earlier times of the forum! Most people who announce returning sadly vanish as soon as they reappear again, I really hope that won't be the case here.

A drawing project? Hell yeah, I wanna see that!

DarkWolf91 · **Reply #18 on:** May 23, 2017, 02:35:15 PM

Welsome back, yet again

It's always good to see new fanart!

Sovereign · **Reply #19 on:** May 23, 2017, 02:41:47 PM

It's always great to see old members returning!

I hope you'll have a great time here and feel free to share your art with us.
