I have to say, I'm rather glad forum battles have pretty much stopped. I mean, I realize that obviously the idea could be resurrected but for now it seems to have lost steam. They were great at first, but they just ended up getting too unwieldy and ponderous and the combination of no-shows (was guilty of this myself) with the crazy lengths people would go to in an attempt to one-up someone that did well the year before as well as the insane pressure many put on those who did really well the first couple of years just made the whole thing a mess. And with so many people competing in the later contests, it got to be a chore checking out all the entries (if you wanted to vote honestly instead of just throwing your vote at whoever you liked), considering often people would just wait till the last minute and do something that was utter crap. There would still be good entries, but it got to be kind of like digging through raw sewage to find something that was actually creative.

The first PA comic I ever saw was that max payne one. You know the one, with the brain freeze. I dunno if that was actually the latest comic they had made when i found the site however.
Also I remember Gabe's humorous review of rogue squadron II.

HenroidMexican kicked from Immigration ThreadCentrism is Racism :3Registered Userregular
um while that's all well and good i'm really looking for a place to maturely discuss madoka and zero no tsukaima so
madoka is the best manga series that i keep meaning to read
especially since someone told me to skip to where it goes off the rails, builds new rails, goes off those rails, and eventually becomes a flying train like in back to the future part III, free of all rails
My profile says 2006, but I've been around much longer than that. Twice, alpha had to recreate my account (when the forum xfers occurred) due to the tilde over the n in my name. As far as my original registration date goes, I'd wager I'm in the top 20 of oldest accounts.
Fortunately for all of you, I post very infrequently.
