Is everyone still alive?

[Neo]

Have any of you died?


Just checking.

[Combine 017]

I think BreakABone died. Thats about it.

[Vampyr]

I've played about 100 hours of Dark Souls 2, if that counts.

[Jason1]

I am dead

[Angrist]

Actually, I'm dying. :(


To watch the E3 Nintendo presentation.

[Neo]

I am dead

This is good for me. One of my investments is in a company that makes tombstones. I take a certain pleasure in knowing that baby boomers are going to make me rich someday.

[Combine 017]

Wont you be dead before that happens?

[Neo]

I take supplements.

[Seth]

Deadheadin


Turmeric capsules?

Anyone been watching the bluejays? Tis the season..

They didnt look too good today against the Cardinals! Haha:lol:

[Ginkasa]

Yep

[Seth]

They didnt look too good today against the Cardinals! Haha:lol:

It was a letdown after the last 6 game win streak.

Haven't seen the post-season since 1993. I'm hyped.

Cardinals have great pitching.

[Zen]

I am a ghost.

[Acebot44]

Studying for the bar exam. So not quite dead yet, but dying.

[Angrist]

Can this serve as some sort of "what have you been up to" thread? Because I'm pretty excited about this.
Me and some friends have a Zelda YouTube channel.... and we have 46 subscribers and we're still growing. One YouTuber with 15k subscribers gave us a shoutout and that doubled our sub count, woah.

Aaaanyway. I work at a police office now.

[ZebraRampage]

Still alive, but I think this forum is dead.

[Angrist]

In before it really dies:

Hey guys, it was a lot of fun back in the days, thanks for that! Isn't it pretty cool that we all started out as teen gamers and now we all have 'real' lives?
We might never meet each other again and when we do, we might not even recognize each other. But that's totally fine, that's how these things go.

Take care! :D

[Vampyr]

Eh, I don't think the forum is going to die from a technical standpoint. I think I have MySQL configured to use too much memory or something, I haven't had time to look into it. I just occasionally have to reboot the server.

[Ginkasa]

Seemed like it died yesterday.

[Ric]

I'm still alive... ha thought you'd gotten rid of me didn't ya! :p

[Jonbo298]

Alive, so to speak. Currently on short term disability due to a lot of psychological issues just reaching a tipping point (not life endangering or anything). Fun times abound when I go back to work on the 25th!

Other than that...hmm... Somehow, I do not have Celiac anymore since February of this year.

[magus113]

I wish I kept remembering to come back here.

I sorry guys :(

That and I think my work filter is starting to block any site that has the word game in it since we switched proxies. Hopefully I get out of this job soon because this place sucks.

[Zen]

My daughter's first day of school was yesterday.

[Seth]

Very cool Zen! What age do children generally begin school in DR?

btw what was that Korean game that we were playing years back? It was like worms 2D..

[The Germanator]

Oh jeez, I haven't been back in a while. Hello everyone. It's good to see all of these avatars and names.

[Professor S]

Yes.

[Teuthida]

Alive-ish.

[Zen]

That was Gunbound if I recall correctly.

Kids usually go to school around 2 or so, but at that point its more of a day care really, the average age to be out of HS is 17-18.

[Joeiss]

Hi! I am alive.

[Joeiss]

I hope you are all well. :)

[Ginkasa]

First post of 2015!

[Angrist]

Last post of 2015! :p

[Dylflon]

Whoa! I also showed up to see if anyone is still alive. What up dudes?

[Ginkasa]

Last post of 2015! :p


Your post is a lie.

[Ginkasa]

Whoa! I also showed up to see if anyone is still alive. What up dudes?


Not posting on GameTavern, apparently.

[Jason1]

How about that Nintendo Dolphin!

[Zen]

I hear its going to have CD's!

[Angrist]

Unless he meant the forum! Unless you meant that will also have CDs! :D

[Dylflon]

Anyone want to see what I've been working on recently?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eztSO0Y7M5g

[Ginkasa]

Is a month the longest we've gone without a single post? I mean, it was a short month, but still.

(Oh, and I guess this means you don't have the last post anymore :p)

[Bond]

Wow, this place is dead.

[Jason1]

R.I.P. Gametavern

[Typhoid]

Holy shit, I'm glad to see everyone is still alive and hopefully doing well!
It warms the pits of my heart that we all still periodically check back in just to see who else has checked back in.

The last one of us alive gets the domain.

[Neo]

There's not really anything to talk about anymore. We've pretty much discussed every single topic in video games. Every issue has been presented, dissected and solved.

Though I can't seem to remember what the conclusions were. :unsure:

[Ginkasa]

42?

[Angrist]

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return?

[yes_yes i am]

I cannot believe I still remember my login name and password. I never posted much, but lurked a lot.

I used to go by Bizzy or something even more awkward than my current name, but I think I got banned for being an obnoxious idiot :).

Wow, I must have been 14 years old when I joined, because I am 27 now. That is nuts. I still remember the first (or maybe it was the second) Survivor, griand prize was a Gameboy and 2nd prize was Zelda for the N64, where I stayed up all night posting every few minutes for one of the challenges. I think that contributed to a development of a subsequent sleeping disorder :D. surfin4life was a guy who played that game...Who ran that, does anyone remember?

I have this strange feeling that ign started out as a nintendo fansite, but the wayback archive doesnt confirm my suspicion, even as far back as 1998. I remember www.nintendose.com (were they competition or a rival forum? I forget) and then I forget what happened afterwards that led us to this current situation (I guess social networks like Facebook have contributed to the death of message boards).

This is my best friend, in real life:
http://www.gametavern.net/forums/member.php?u=441

I guess maybe some of you remember him...he was more active.

At some point Mushlafa introduced the forum to his friend HappyDude, and I think he became a contributing member or something like that.

What else can I say?

I have been a part of a couple forum communities that have died and it makes me sad, so I am not sure if I feel good or bad that I never invested too much of myself in it.

And so probably you guys dont remember me. But I remember you...

[yes_yes i am]

Oh and I have an idea for you guys, whoever is actually on a first name basis or something like that, why dont you (give in to the darkside and) exchange Facebook profiles and maybe you will meet one day?

I have Earl (Breakabone) on Facebook.


What about gaming?

I am still a videogaming fan but I just have not had the same amount of free time that I had when I was a kid. However, now that I have a son, maybe I will soon have an excuse to get back into it :). I do have an Xbox One, which I use mainly for NBA2k15 and GTA5. I also play the Kinect Sports game from time to time.

Okay, thats it for my rant.

[Jason1]

I believe www.nintendose.com was the site that came before gametavern, and then Nintendose shut down and everyone went to either gametavern or some other site I cant remember the name. I choose GT and I dont rememember why and the rest is history! And I think I remember you!?

[Angrist]

And yeah I remember you. And Mushlafa and HappyDude. :)
I don't game online much, but I'm Canyarion everywhere (Miiverse, Steam, Battle.net). Oh and I run a Zelda podcasting YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/zeldapodsmashers

[Ginkasa]

It seemed so arbitrary at the time. I chose GT because Blue_Fire/takegiantsteps came here and we were the same age. That was important at the time because we were, like, 14 and on the younger end of the spectrum for NDose users. I also followed Shadow Link who was Psycho Link (I think) at the time here entirely because he had "Link" in his username and so did I (being Link1130 at the time).

I did have an account at AdvanceGB, but never really visited much.

[Zen]

back in the day I went to advanceGB over this mostly because, Goombastomper and ghettodude were like my super best buds on here and I went along with that. We were a tight community until some shit happened with the guy running the site. Also, Skooby was kind of a dick.

[jeepnut]

Still alive. I feel like there's a Portal joke in there somewhere.

[ulala06]

Oh my god.

[manasecret]

Anyone here a redditor? I made the http://www.reddit.com/r/gametavern subreddit in the hopes someday our community could be revived there. It's private for now, but I'd like to invite people. Right now it's only reserved, no customization has been done yet, but I'd love to implement something if anyone has any ideas. My reddit user is davidsd. Send me a message if interested.

[Angrist]

Last post?

[Seth]

Last post?

Almost!

[Ginkasa]

This forum will live eternal as people battle over the privilege of "last post."

[Jason1]

Last post...for sure. I for some reason just had the overwhelming urge to update my "Now Playing" from the previous "Metroid Prime 3"

[thatmariolover]

Came back to happily report that I've reacquired access to my original Steam account that was hijacked about ten years ago. The asshat who stole the account changed the associated email and the Steam profile name. Vivendi had been in charge of Steam support back in the day, and would not help me get the account back.

Well, I just built a new gaming PC and decided I was going to try my darndest to get this account back. One support request and two days later and Valve had recovered my account. The person who had control of my account has now lost access to about $1,000 worth of software that he'd added to it in the last ten years. It's all mine now.

Justice has finally come, and it feels good.

Anyway, I get the feeling this place won't be around much longer. But I still reminisce about Nintendose and GT. We were a great community. Take care everybody.

:) Miss you guys.

[Ginkasa]

That is crazy. How do you even prove it was your account so long afterwards and with all the info changed? (he asks knowing that thatmariolover probably doesn't expect replies and won't see this for another 22 months when he decides to check up on the old forums again, if ever)

[BlueFire]

Hello, everyone. Does anyone use that subreddit? I went to check but Reddit is down for maintenance, lol.

[Jason1]

I once had my Hotmail account hacked and could never recover it. I gave those asshats everything they requested and they STILL wouldnt let me have the account back. Good think hotmail sucks now!

[BreakABone]

Ha this place won't die eh

I am surprised that Vamp still pays the bills on it.

[Angrist]

Tonight I watched Terminator Genisys. Man, that really is a sequel done right.

It takes the best of the original and the sequel, mixes it up, adds Arnie in a satisfying way, then adds some plot twists. Oh and there's tons of references that make you cheer instead of cringe. It's pure genius as far as I'm concerned.

Oh hi. :)

[Ginkasa]

That is such a polarizing movie. I never watched it, but I've seen people hate it so hard and then the people who enjoy the movie really seem to love it. Its weird.

[Perfect Stu]

I am alive. I don't know how many years it's been, but I'm still kicking in 2016.

[Acebot44]

I am alive. I don't know how many years it's been, but I'm still kicking in 2016.

Still in Toronto? If so, how was the city for the NBA All-Star game?

[BlueFire]

bump

[Zen]

You guys are like weird family members i check in with from time to time now.

[BlueFire]

i know. it's weird.

[BreakABone]

Still in Toronto? If so, how was the city for the NBA All-Star game?

Hey, I saw you recently!

*WAves*
