    So, drunken atavan time.

    There’s something I want to tell y’all and that is that I’m gay. Coming to Canada was this amazing experience that allowed me to be myself and be selfish but in a good way. I’m unapologetically myself and but I totally understand if some of you
    Don’t accept it. That’s cool. I totally respect your opinon.

    But yeah there it is. I’m tired of hiding and lying about who I am and being a part of this forum for almost 10 years I fell I owe it to you
    Guys to be honest.

    Well Atavan, speaking for myself, I don't think who you choose to fall in love with or spend your time in a bedroom with makes a difference to the fact that I respect and see you as a friend.

    It doesn't really come as particular surprise though!
    But then I suppose we are familiar with each other outside of this space.

    I'd also like to add that the news changes nothing except that I hope your happiness increases, unbounded, as a result.

    But if you start posting about SoR or Golden Axe I'll disown you forever.
    But then you knew that!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,528 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Oh, and the post is remarkably well written for a typical drunk Atavan post, so well done for turning a corner there too!
    Truly a day that will go down in A&R history!

    Our pinky promise still stands of course, if we're not married at 40 we'll get together just to have a party like and have a house full of doggos and a Pokemon / Sonic room.
    :pac:

    Happy coming out Atavan!

    I doubt anyone on here wouldn't accept it, at least I would hope not anyway, we're a nice bunch.

    I'm delighted the move to Canada has opened up new horizons for you, I've always wanted to move there myself.

    And another thing, if there is anyone with a problem, they can show themselves out


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,772 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    Good for you dude, enjoy Canada.

    It changes fook all man. And for anyone who it does change things for, well, their respect or opinions aren't worth caring about or bothering with :)

    Wondering if you lads and ladies could help me out.

    Doing a little project about SNES vs Mega Drive. Trying to come up with what characters/games to have "vs" each other.

    These will be illustrated for some artwork so I don't want to have it too obscure. I refuse to do Sonic vs Mario aswell :p

    If you remind me in the evening I'll think of some properly.

    It's going to be difficult as all of the interesting Sega ones are pretty obscure, whereas even my granny knows half of Nintendo's characters. :D

    Alex Kidd versus Ness is about as equal as I can currently get it!

    Jaysus, I see some poor lad had $1500 invested in it :eek:

    Be sad if that game never sees the light of day, it did look really promising.

    Although I'm just reading through that thread and see there are questions around the screengrabs and that they may be in fact mockups!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,772 ✭✭✭Jack burton


    Ah **** sake.

    The whole preorder of games has taken some belt the last while. I got stung for €40 myself off a Kickstarter. Few other times aswell, between that and games turning out to be ****e

    I feel bad for the genuine people who are genuine. But my days off preordering are done is say.

    Yep, I'm in the same boat myself.

    After waiting literally years for things like Pier Solar and Nightmare Busters I called it a day.

    I waited so long for Nightmare Busters that I'd completely forgotten about it by the time it had arrived. If they'd stolen my money and scammed me I'd never have known!

    Saying that, I did just preorder that new King of Demons rerelease... But it's due out next month! :D
