You seemed to have problems spelling so I helped you out. Didn't I let you into NJ too or am I mistaken? :rolleyes:Quote:

Hey, El Cid.
Oh shit, it's El Cid!
Yooooo. Wassup El Cid! How ya been?
Life has been treating me good. I have two kids now (4 year old boy and 2 year old girl). I also have one more on the way ^_^
Work is going well too. I have been a software developer for 10 years now and I enjoy my job.
Not all has been great of course. The wife is feeling really morning sick with the new baby and I had a close call during a visit out of the states that left me with double vision. Maybe a tale for another time.
But man! TAO gone? Who knows what is really up? I checked around and there are a lot of projects going and BrutalRage says he is going to make his own code available on GitHub. I'm interested on working on the online component for it since I have a certification I'm studying for that would make it a good learning exercise. I just don't want to get sued by Seed or whoever holds the rights to TAO though. Has that been discussed at all? I tried to reach BrutalRage on Facebook and so far not luck :(
2 kids and one more on the way? Congrats man. Sounds like you're doing well for yourself. I'm in PT school now and my current clinical instructor is vestibular specialist, so she sees a lot of patients with double vision. Maybe I'll get the chance to learn how to treat that them. :o
Did you check out the new game development section? Lots of cool stuff going on in there. Latest video looks pretty sweet.
Yeah, I checked the new development section, some nice stuff indeed. The most promising stuff though was BrutalRage's HTML5 version of TAO. I have design in mind and I would be able to work on top of his stuff to get a basic multi-player version of it. They started a discussion recently on Facebook about contacting Seed and Bill so we'll see how that goes.Quote:

I believe it, too.
I think I've said too much...
I am hulky 5.0
noobjak sucks! *runs*
I was never in the clan but I loved the actual website netjak.com. Was a shame when that went under.
Netjak sucks.
You suck!

I think I do remember a menace from Legends. If your name has always not been capitalized then I definitely remember.Quote:

The frost golem is easily my favorite piece. Furgon is the most versatile and creative piece, naturally, but it takes a lot of skill to use well and the mud golem is OP so the furgon can be limited. If the mud golem were better balanced, I'd say furgon is my favorite. The furgon won me many games that I had absolutely no right to win. Later on in TAO history, I won a lot more than I lost but I hardly ever played. I regularly took months/years off of TAO, which in retrospect makes me incredibly sad. When I was around, I'd usually play an obsessive amount of games with one or two people whose paths would cross with mine.Quote:

What was your favorite win?
PS was a great player. I loved his spirit and his humility.Quote:

I swear, that thing was still up in the air right until the moment I took that screenshot, which I believe is when he had killed my furgon. Actually, some of those PS games were probably the best I've ever had. That was much later on in TAO history when I was playing what would end up my final TAO games. I was helping him get ready/practice for that PSST monster tear he went on.Quote:

I had screenshots of monkus, Magician, DL, LT, Daemon Bloodmaw, Darque, OmegaGalaxy, so many others who were active from early on FPS/Legends who sort of vanished after the first five years. I might try to recover data from an old hard drive. They are worth it.
Did we play much, manon? I honestly don't remember playing you except maybe once for a big tournament where I choked like I loved to do?Quote:

No you didn't. We probably played a few times but I don't remember really.Quote:
