    So, I'm feeling better after the surgery. And that's good. I finally took my last final, meaning... I'm now out of high school... And I will be a college freshman in the fall...
     
    I'm looking forward to several things in this summer, and the release of Skillet's new album is one of them. Here's the title song, Rise. http://loudwire.com/skillet-rise-exclusive-song-premiere/
     
    And don't worry, I'll be taking things a little slower than normal for several weeks so that my recovery won't be too long.

    Like the title says, despite my sudden disappearance, I'm still alive.
    So, I will explain my absence...
     
    Wednesday, I woke up 7:30 AM my time, and had general stomach pain. So I ate a big breakfast, which didn't help, so I got on my side and pretty much slept for a few hours. But when I went upstairs and got in the car to go see Oblivion with my dad, there was a slight pain. I even left in the middle of the movie because I felt like throwing up. But I never threw up... I told my dad that I had pain, but may have underscored it... I only told my mom at 7 PM my time, and she kept an eye on it.
    Two hours later, we went to the ER, where we sat and waited. And after some tests and a CT scan, a surgeon came in and told me and my mom that I was going into surgery, which happened at 5 AM. That surgery took care of my appendix; I had appendicitis which meant that my appendix had to be removed.. And at 7 AM on Thursday, I came out of surgery.
    I don't remember much until I woke up around noon on Thursday. And that was the worst day. I threw up several times. The highlights were seeing Wreck-It Ralph and Brave. That day, I didn't eat much, and the nausea drug didn't work too much. Also, while walking around kinda helped, I didn't feel like walking later in the day. So, that evening, I tried a different one that knocked me out. I woke up this morning when the shift change occurred, and I felt so much better. I ate breakfast, walked around a bit, and started watching the Hunger Games while I ate. I walked around more, and even had a couple naps.
    Now, here I am, on the internet again after not being on since 9 PM Wednesday.
    And now I'm back to you. Hope you all had fun and didn't miss me too much. ;D

    Oh, hey. Check it out. I've been on the forums for a whole year now.
    So am I going to pass it by and say it's no big deal?
    Actually, no.
    Below is a recap of possibly the best year of my life.

     
    Over a year ago, some time around March 25th or something like that, I became a brony. True story. I eventually heard of this site, and joined one year ago. Now, I didn't do anything until the 8th, I think it was, but hey.
    Like the previous forum I was on for a few years, I looked up to the popular people, wanting to do what they did, wanting to be like them.
    Now, note, this was just about the summer of 2012. Season was just about done after I had joined, and I had to stay off of the forums until I had seen the finale so I wouldn't have anything spoiled. XD During the summer, there were a few DDoS attacks, if I recall correctly, and that was annoying. But we overcame them, and got a new server (which has been replaced already), meaning we had a victory Let's skip to October...
    I made a new record on the forums that month, setting myself up to be "popular." That was in October 2012, when I passed the 10,000 brohooves given mark. That was also the month of the MLPForums first anniversary and of, later, Halloween. Now, those were fun time. And a few months later, in December, I met someone who, at that point in time, I didn't know would eventually become my best friend. (Our correspondence didn't actually fully start until January, though. Still, it happened.) We also had Christmas (I'm wondering where those perks are from giving the money to that children's hospital. XD Just kidding; it was more about the hospital than the perks.)
    This year, New Year's Eve was made SO! AWESOME! by everyone here. And while drama persisted in some areas, including the recent "Twilicorn" dispute, we made it through, with growing numbers.
     
    To be honest, this actually was and is the best year of my life, all thanks to everyone here on the forums. I don't think I would have still been sane if I hadn't have had all of you.
     
    Special thanks to Key Gear and Feld0 for making this place wonderful. I like both of you: KEy Gear, because you're so relaxed (in a good way) and you chill with other members in the GCT, and Feld0 because you're a nice, relaxed website owner, and because you've helped pull a few pranks.
     
    Thanks to all of my friends, and to everyone else here. This year has been wonderful!

    I be noticed something... I guess it is a bit odd, but when I look for friends (mostly here) nowadays, I've noticed I start looking for female friends. Now, yes, I am a straight, teenage male, but really, that has just about nothing to do with it. For whatever reason, I just like talking with girls. I don't try to flirt with all of them, or make myself known to all of them, but talking with them... I find it's somehow a little better than talking with guys. No offense; it's not wrong to be one gender or another.
    But does anyone else find that they do this, even in reverse?
     
    I guess I'm trying to think to hard, which means one thing: I need rest.

    Wait for it...

    By Nightfall,

    A few months ago, on October 14, 2012, I set a new MLPforums record: 10,000 brohooves given. The lucky Miss got my 10,000th, and a lot of people got excited for a short time. Now, I've passed the 15,000 mark, and am approaching a new high score.
    I've been afraid of @Starshine and for a little while, because I feared that they would catch me and get way more brohooves than I have.
    Well, with this new record in sight, it seems my fears are, at least for now, unjustified. The record? 20,000 brohooves given.
    Yup. By the end of the day, I will have given over 20,000 brohooves. So I have a question: should I keep giving them out and see who got the 20,000 later after it's been given, or should there be nominees on who should get it? Lemme know!

    Ok, so... I'm back.

    By Nightfall,

    I'm 'fully' back in the fandom now. I saw the first three episodes of Season 3 today.
    That's right. I just said that. I'm into the show again. And after Brook interviewed me. He should interview me again.
     
    But, yeah, so now I'm understanding where some of the new memes come from.
    And I kinda liked the episodes.
     
    There. I said it. Thank Seraphim.
    I'm back!

    I've noticed I have a lot of friends on these forums. Over 400, to be exact. And I'm starting to notice I'm getting profile views from people I haven't really seen on the forums. I'm sure I know the reason behind this, but it's making me wonder: how well known am I (as in, people know to a degree who I am when my username is mentioned), how popular am I in specific areas and in general, and how spread out over the forums am I?
     
    I mean, giving out 17,700+ brohooves is quite a big deal, and I do go into a lot of topics every now and then. But it doesn't fully answer these questions...
     
    I'm almost confused...

    My life

    By Nightfall,

    I'm not in my mad/sad state, but I'm questioning what to do with my life.
    This week, I have a lot of free time. Community college doesn't start until next Monday. I'm debating looking for a job, but the place where my parent's recommend is closed Sundays and Mondays. (They recommend it because its less than .3 miles away and it's closed on Sundays.) and to spend all day studying and reviewing Chemistry and Calc I for a week...
     
    I'm not going to spend a lot of time on my iPad or my computer for fun, but I'm struggling to see what useful things I can do...
    Maybe I'll go to the gym with my mom and younger bro. tomorrow or whenever they go.
     

     
    Another question is a bit more personal. I've seen love. And it looks great on most levels. But the issue is I don't have any friends that I normally see, except on Sunday. And another thing is that while I feel being in a relationship would be nice, I don't see myself in a relationship...

    LoL post 1!

    By Nightfall,

    So, ok. My first video game blog...
    Now, as you may, or may not, know, I play LoL on some days.
     
    Today was no exception. And today, I did a few firsts...
    The first game, I was Darius. And we owned. I'm shocked I did so well in that game. But that's not the main story. No, the main story is the last game I played today:

     
    Now, before you ask, "But how is that really special?" let me say, it has been months since I've used Ashe. Months. And now look. Two people called top at the beginning of the game, so I told myself I'd suck it up and try Ashe. I went off of a build that said to have Berserker's Greaves, Phantom Dance, Last Whisper, I finite Edge, and Bloodthirster. I didn't question it. And I'm glad I didn't. The final item I wanted after I got those was Runaan's Hurricane. I had seen it on Varus before and thought it would do me good. And it did.
     
    On another note, the Kayle was only a summoner level 7, yet he/she raged about how I wasn't doing too well. (Or he/she was referring to their Ashe... I may never know. ) And he/she kept saying their heal as op when I could have kill Teemo or LeBlanc before I needed a heal. At least, if they were in range and a distance away from other enemy team members. Still...
     
    I think I did well... How do you think I did? Comment below!
  11. Nightfall
    Where to start...
     
    What you may not know is I cannot wait to get away from my family. I look forward to going to the community college to start my classes so I don't have to deal with them.
    My older brother said I was the one being rude to the others, and they all blame my "extensive" time on the Internet. [sarcasm] Yet I love how they can do what they want on the Internet for hours while I can't, and how my older brother can be rude to the others (it feels like it's pointed mostly at me) after extensive time on the Internet and after talking to his girlfriend a lot, and he can basically get away with it.
     
    I feel unappreciated in my family. I feel like everything I do, everything I say, is being monitored. I try to say something funny; it fails. My siblings do something else 'funny,' everyone laughs. I try to get help for a chore, and I get in trouble. My younger brother does the same, and all of a sudden, it's fine. I make a suggestion, I get shot down. Someone else suggests something similar, it's approved. Something happens, a few people are pissed, and thirty seconds to three minutes later, while I'm still chewing on what happened, everyone is fine and acting like it never happened.
     
    The only things keeping me from telling my parents this are the fact that they might take away a lot from me if I bring this up, or I might get kicked out, and I have no place to go. I haven't been trained for hard times, which slightly pisses me off.
     
    And after everyone is fine again, I start thinking it is me and I'm mentally challenged somehow, like I need psychological help. Maybe I do...
     
    The point is this: I can be easily triggered into bad moods, yet no one sees this. No one in my family, that is. And then they make decisions that just piss me off more. I can't stand it. I look forward to getting away from them.
     
    I feel lucky to at least have you guys. Some people who, I know I don't know them in person, appreciate what I do. Who comfort me when I feel like I'm falling apart. Who love me despite my faults. Who help in times of need...
     
    I'm done. I'm off my soap box.
  12. Nightfall
    Ok, so I'll admit it: I don't really care for new year celebrations (at least right now). My reaction:
    Why? It's a waste of time. Some of us here stay up to midnight almost every night already. I know, 'a new year is a new start,' but you could have a new start any time. I know and understand that we use years to help keep track of time, but do we really need to make such a big deal about a new one?
    I just don't get it. To me, it's beyond reason. I'm not trying to offend people who love welcoming the new year, but I'm asking is it necessary to spend time outside for hours just to do so? (Maybe I'm having another moment...)
     
    tl;dr Happy new year, but I don't get the point of the huge celebrations.
  13. Nightfall

    Well... This sucks...

    By Nightfall,

    So it's the holiday season. Yay.
    Problem is, I've gotten into the habit of staying up late. And some of you may know that brings out bad thoughts in me...
    Like now, yet again. I'll feel happy, and thirty minutes later, I'm slightly depressed. It sucks, especially when you know everyone else is having fun. I'm going o try to sleep it off, but any suggestions for later would be nice. Thanks, night, and happy holidays.
  14. Nightfall

    It's happening again...

    By Nightfall,

    I finally solved the mystery of my mood swings: I screw up and always feel really bad about it afterwards.
     
    I screwed up again today (more like last night). So here I am, wondering why this other user and I aren't talking, and, of course, I had screwed up. And now, again, I feel bad.
     
    I guess that's just me. I'm just that one guy who wastes time because I'm socially awkward, and by not not being able to comic ate correctly, I wreck relationships.
     
    I'm slowing killing myself mentally... I need help...

    Re: Minecraft

    By Nightfall,

    So I'm using the demo version. And I was going to try to get help to build a house. But, instead, I went exploring a bit and got TOTALLY lost. But it was ok. I killed some sheep, pigs, chickens, and a couple of cows, got trapped in a cave for a day, got lost in a mine, and ended up here:

    A little later, I climbed one of those mountain thingies and saw this:

     
    It is official. I need to know if the iPad version is compatible with the computer version and if the iPad version is worth the $7 USD. If so, I'm getting it. If not, I need to figure out how to get the computer version...

    Minecraft

    By Nightfall,

    I discovered the epicness of Minecraft last night. Now I want it.
    The only problem is I either can't buy it (for my laptop) and I don't want to spend another $6.99 like I did for Need for Speed: Most Wanted for Minecraft for my iPad...
    So much sadness.
    I'm trying to figure out what to do now...
  18. Nightfall
    For these of you with a Twitter account, let me ask you this...
    Have you ever been minding your own business, maybe having just recently followed someone on Twitter, and the next thing you know, you have someone you have never heard about following? Well, ok, so I have six followers, four of whom I know personally. The fifth has some nearly 5K followers and is a Christian musician. No biggie, right? Well, the sixth is Ceren Aksan Mumcu, a violinist and photographer from Instanbul. Somehow, after I followed Lindsey Stirling, a glitch happened (or for whatever reason she decided to follow me). Now, she has 12K followers. What. Why follow me..? It makes me feel a bit weird because I haven't tweeted too much that is important, yet they decided to follow me and haven't in followed me yet...

    Imagination

    By Nightfall,

    I see myself as one who can have great visions of what something should look like when I think in terms of, say, video games, starships, and other things like those. And that's great. Most of what I see I consider to look brilliant, and it might be brilliant, but...
     
    I can't draw, and never have motivation to try. And I don't usually have motivation to explain these things, or I can't word the visions correctly. Other times, I feel as if the thing will never happen.
     
    Honestly, sometimes this kills my mood and I become downcast, sad... And thinking about it makes me feel worse. (During the feeling, I think of sad situations that could happen in the future, and that adds to the effect of sadness.)
     
    This has led me to believe that sometimes I might actually have some mental illness, even though I know I don't have one. It kills me to see things that won't happen, even if only I think it's good...
     
    Sorry. I just need to rant here. I'm feeling like it right now, and most of the time, I don't want the feeling to go away, even though it rips me up on the inside. (That's part of the idea that makes me think I have a slight mental disease.)
     
    Anyway... Help..?
  21. Nightfall
    Lets start with Asphalt7:
     
    (I apologize for the way this is set up, but somehow, my iPad and this site didn't agree, so scroll down and match the numbers above the sentences. The "v"s signify which sentence belongs to which picture.)
     
    1 v
    The opening loading screen. It looks nice...
    2 v
    The home screen. It works.
    3 v
    The screen for missions. I like this game because you can race without doing missions.
    4 v
    Tier Seven car select: a Ferrari FXX Evo, the fastest car I own, second fastest to the Veyron SS. Unfortunately, you are always limited to only one of the tiers in car selection
    5 v
    Racing. Here's where the game goes downhill a bit. The graphics during racing aren't that great, and the gameplay is sometimes too fast, and you crash.
    6 v
    Adrenaline Mode, where you are invincible unless you hit a wall the right way to crash.
    7 v
    In this game, you can take down opponents, which is really fun.
    8 v
    The end game stats.
     
    Seems good, right? Lets take a look at Need for Speed: Most Wanted.
    9 v
    Oooh. Look at that: the loading screen when you open the game. Now that looks good.
    10 v
    This is the main screen. Very different, as it is a map. That I like.
    11 v
    Choosing a mission. In MW, some missions allow you to pick any car you want, where others limit you to certain groups.
    12 v
    Car select from the Muscle group. They have some good cars in this game, but putting a Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV in the Muscle group..?
    13 v
    The beginning of a race. MUCH better graphics.
    14 v
    The max boost you can do.
    15 v
    In this game, you can only take down cops when they appear, and that is good because they try to slow you down and "catch" you. If you note the front right bumper of my Camaro ZL1, the cars in this game also "break," and a damage meter shows up after every hard hit to show you how close you are to being destroyed.
    16 v
    The end game screen. It's decent...
     
    Need for Speed has some other pluses.
    17 v
    A police roadblock. Sometimes they limit you so you barely get through.
    18 v
    A spike strip. Go over this, and you'll lose a lot of speed.
    19 v
    As the levels get harder and faster, more cops chase you. Some are patrol cars (right; for basic cars), some are SUVs (left; for a bit faster cars)...
    20 v
    ... And for pretty fast cars, some are Interceptors, AKA Corvettes.
     
    Now, looking at the graphics, Need for Speed: Most Wanted is a way better choice. Content? I would say MW wins again. But price...
    Asphalt7 cost only $0.99 when I bought it, but when I bought MW yesterday it cost, admittedly, $6.99. So Asphalt7 won something...
     
    Overall, though, MW wins. It's just much better.

    10,000

    By Nightfall,

    Congrats to Cloud Chaser, who got my 10,000 brohoof!
     
    Posted Cloud Chaser on 01 September 2012 - 12:47 AM
    It's almost impossible that they would end MLP:FiM, a successful show that's making them a lot of money. My heart would shatter if FiM ended before it reached Season 6.
     
    We planned that she would post in the General Chat Thread, but it didn't quite work out, and I decided to "end it" now. Still, it's a record (I think)!
  24. Nightfall
    By now, most of you will know that getting brohoofs from me isn't special. At times, it may even be annoying. But soon, I have realized that I will have given out over 10,000 brohoofs.
     
    That's right. You didn't misread that. I will have given out over 10,000 brohoofs. So, we should have some celebration and/or art contest and/or something else... And the winner if we do that will get my 10,000 brohoof...
     
    We should send this to Feld0 even...
     
    Anyway, yeah... pretty big news... ish...

    Life and Animals

    By Nightfall,

    So we had a mouse in the house. Yesterday morning, we found evidence. It got into the chocolate covered macadamia nuts, the Oreos, and a small bag of Fritos. We set some traps with peanut butter, a couple of the spring ones and a box. We wake up this morning, and the spring traps don't have any more peanut butter on them, but aren't sprung. The box has the mouse in it. So, the only way to get rid of it by killing it without touching it or having to deal with blood was by drowning the mouse... So we did.
     
    And then, when I woke up this morning, I got to see the fox that chills outside and waits for a squirrel or some other food. He hangs out in our back yard and the around the fence by the running path behind our back yard.
     
    So that is it for now... I may make an MASSIVE entry tomorrow, depending on how the Baltimore Grand Prix goes.
