I remember a time I was hooked to forums. PS2 Fantasy forums in particular. This was a time long ago, over a year in fact. The main topics of discussion were Metal Gear Solid 2, and everyone (this Baboon included) were insane over the game. This was a time when I logged onto my dad's laptop for my forum kicks. Like all things, this faded away... and I soon had completely withdrawn from the land of Ps2 Fantasy; presumably forever.
Now, over a year later, I sit here at my own computer and feel like a vastly different person. No longer am I the New Kid with no friends and nothing but video games and the internet to keep me from withdrawig into depression. Now I'm preparing to graduate high school, and soon will be going off to college. I now have a group of friends and have found a place in this life. I still love video games though, and I still love the internet.
And so, I sat here tonight surfing like nobody's business. After my less insomniac friends had logged off and I had exhausted all interesting video game news, I racked my mind for some site to visit. For some fateful reason, my fingers typed the URL without my even knowing it... PS Fantasy. What a wave of nostalgia I felt! I immediately knew I had to try to reenter the forums... My name didn't exist anymore, but I was able to create it again. And, just like that, I was back.
Now I see posts on Vice City and Xenosaga instead of Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy X. But I recognize some of the old names, and I feel this strange coming home feeling. This is my first post. When it is over, I will undoubtedly be known as "That sad little man who wrote the long post about how he's in love with the forum". I assure you, the rest of my posts will be irrelevant and inane. This time, I'm here to stay. (Here I am tempted to say something like "The Baboon is back", but then sanity regains its flimsy grip on my tired mind. So I'm not gonna say it.) With that said... howdy folks. What's up?
