Merry Christmas everyone! :D
Yeah, it's me. I bet some of you don't even know who I am... but you can probably tell by the postcount that this guy's old (well, as old as someone can be on a Forums that's barely been around a year). In any case, it's good to be back... it's like breathing fresh air after living in a congested world for so long. Or maybe like breathing congested air after living in a fresh world for so long... something like that. ;)
Right now, I'm here for about a month - Christmas holidays. :) My latest set of exams are complete, I've just finished a 5-day hike (not far, 61km), and I have three terms (nine months) left in high school. Probably a lot of you are in similar circumstances, except that...
Mum's faring okay. But... you can never say never with things like this. Even remission, while good, isn't certain. But the fact that I'm here is a sign that she's handling pretty well; at least, we think so. :nod:
Anyway, I'm here for... yes, about a month, four weeks or so. I've no official capcity here, but I'll be frequenting (oh yes, frequenting like I've never frequented before!) the Forums, perhaps posting a bit of news... and we'll see what happens after that. ;)
-
yay!!!, our guiding light and leader has returned!!!
all hail Setekh! hail the concoring hero!!
so you gona be around for a while or just a bit?
-
Bob!! Good to see you again, friend. :cool: I'll be around quite often (once every couple of days, give or take) for at least three weeks, hopefully close to five. :nod:
-
Setekh!
Finally, someone who can save us from Shrike :nervous:
*Senses a stirring in the air; turns to the newbies*
That there, young'uns, is a steak storm. Y'all never go into one of them, y'hear? Not a single one of them buggers that went into one has ever been heard from again!

Ahhh yes... :)
It's just beginning. :D Boy, it's been so long! Oh, and Shrike's not so bad... :D
Now converted by Shrike to a 24-hour nightclub.
Appears I've got some catching up to do... ;)
-
Glad to you things are going fairly well with you and your family Setekh. You've been sorely missed around here man.
I've got to be off already for the holiday family deal (Ack 5am leaving the house ...feel like I'm back in the Army! ACK!) but I'll try to catch up with you when I get back home this evening.
Merry Christmas buddy!!!!!!

Aye, you might want to stop by the FSSCP forum and look at some of the screenies :D
Oh, and check out this thread (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,11629.0.html), too. :nod:

I know, we're pathetic. ;) We had some cadets with us who are only 140cm tall... little kids, really. And it was super-flat! The worst I've done (which, truly, is nothing) was 38km in 36 hours, with contours going up and down about plus/minus 1km. :)
-
Heh - it was basically a flat-out run for most people - I had it as a very-fast-paced walk, since I'm 192cm. :D
-
[cartman]Sweeeeet [/cartman] :D
now we can get the party started... although I should be going to bed :p

Forgot to mention this in my previous post, but HLP's almost been around 2 years, now... another couple of weeks. :D
-
Oh flip, I always mess up the years. ;)
Jan 2000 - I joined the VBB
Jan 2001 - Thunder and I founded HLP
Jan 2002 - Era of Great HLP Growth
Jan 2003 - A brief visit back ;)
That's better. :D

Good that your mum's doing okay, too. :nod:
-
Merry Christmas one and all. Good to see an old timer back :p We've lost quite a few peeps recently, either permanently or on extended vacation. This is good stuff.
(Consider yourself honoured Setekh, I posted a merry xmas outside my own xmas thread!!!)
So who's got the crackers?
-
Merry christmas dude. Hope you still remember me. And lookie, the CS you gave me during the avatar change is still there.
*memories*

Oh, almost forgot - how about an interview? :D

Merry Christmas Setekh, we've missed ya! :nod: Well even if it's for a month, I'm glad you're back and though it may sound quite repetitive to ya at this point, good to hear your mum's getting better as well :yes:
Why do I always arrive into these threads late? Bleh
-
Spoil my fun why don't ya?
I was about 2 days away from making a "Where's Setekh?" thread in which to mock the newbies and verbally *****-slap the fanatics.
*goes off the hang self*

Don't worry, it's been done before.;)
Hi Steak. Ever gonna share that renderer with the needy?:p

Ah, great to see you here! I was thinking you might happen to show up sometime today; we are all looking forward to see you back on your posting rampages here. ;) :D

Hmmm. Wrong thread. Too many damn Christmas thread.
MERGE!
-
Told you guys he was coming back!
Oh wait, I didn't. He asked me to keep it a secret. :D
-
Well it wasn't exactly absurd to hazard a guess that he'd return for Christmas.
-
Setekh, do you know about the HLP store?

Anything in my power that I could ever do to help you guys, I would do (or have already done). Alas, this isn't one of them... even with my best efforts, I can't get a decent build working on my friends' computers, especially on Windows. :(

Actually, that's a complete coincidence - Christmas Day was simply the fastest I could get to you all.

Jolly good! Shall we proceed to the interviewing room please?
Can I get you over ICQ? MSN?
-
I'd really love to IM right now, but I'm staying off because I'll be heading off to the beach with my family in a short while. Would you mind doing it over email? I could even do it in your interview private forum if you'd like... :)
-
Err...e-mail is not the best idea. Can't advance any conversations...
Besides, I'll have to prepare some questions first. Is tomorrow fine? In the private forum?
-
I do have one request bro..........render........something........anything. Been along time since I saw a new render of your quality ;)

-
Setekh ya cheap bastard! You cvould at least have gotten us all money so we could buy something for oursel;ves that we'd like ;) :p
Welcome back dude :D.
-
I think that by banning Stryke, you've shown how much you really care for him. Quite touching, in a way :nod:
What? :nervous:
-
Yay, he's back! I've been praying for you and your mother, Setekh. Good to hear things are going well right now. :)
(Of course, you probably don't remember me, but that doesn't matter... :))
-
:wtf:
How's he going to forget a name like yours?
-
Hey Setekh! Bet you don't remember me, do you? ;)
Probably because I didn't start posting in full force until October...
:nervous:
-
DG: You, too, are now on Secret Ninja Killing List.
-
Because I was a nobody when he left. I might have had my Reciprocity avatar at the time, but he and I had never had a conversation.
-
Steak, dude. Welcome back. :D
Glad to hear your mother's doing okay.
PS: Oh boy do Ryx and Darkage and me have some stuff to make you smile BIG. :)
-

Oh no, Stryke is going to get us all. O, woe is us, O, woe, O, woe. Whatever shall we do? Wherever shall we go? If I were wearing boots, I'd be shaking in them now. Who shall save us from this wrath? Let us flee to the mountains. Let us hide in the barren wastes. To whom shall we turn? O, the terror of it all, the abject terror. O, woe is us. O, woe. O, woe. O, woe.
:D
-
Observe, with ninja skill I have already removed Ses's frontal loba and hypothalamus in two strokes of sword, rendering him babbling fool. Ho! Ho!
-
A terrible experience it was. Would that no man or beast ever need undergo such horrors as have I this dread day. Alas for me. The dark scourge passes thither. Beware his coming. The horror. The horror. O, the horror.

:lol:
:D :yes:

If you were merely present when I left, I would know you. And I do remember you. This campaign of yours with an unspellable name is a new addition, though. ;)

-
[wonders is Setekh has any idea who he is yet]
-
Whoever started that "I bet you don't know who I am" trend needs to go jump off a cliff, 'cause now everyone's obseessed with it.
Now... betcha don't know who I am... ;) :rolleyes: :p only a penny or two or the equivalent in whatever currency you use in Australia
-
Er... I have a good reason for somebody who just came back not to recognize me, dude. It's called Shrike having a few too many beers and deciding to ban me, **** up my old account, and block project accesses to my new one as a "joke".
-
*Waves*
Good to see you again Steaky, even if only for a little while ;)

You also just provided him with too many hints...

I TOLD you that your old account was resest to normal, but did you use it? noooooooo.
-
With this handle backwards for the name. And no, you never told me that, at any rate.
-
Your old account was returned to normal when I posted 'I've had my fun'.
You even said you could post with your old account after that. :rolleyes:
Anyhow, I've returned it to the name 'Stryke'

Fair comment. But we can't help it. All the newbies and retards just seem to bring out the seething hatred in me.....more-so than usual.

Shrike: Nah. Liiks like crap, makes the obvious cheap wordplay a little TOO obvious. Or you could just delete the Ryder account and change the name to that.
