Hello... again :P
« on: November 14, 2008, 11:37:27 pm »
Hello everyone,

My name is Warmgun and I'm a recovering Chrono-holic. 

About five years ago, I followed a link to some site called the Chrono Compendium posted by Zeality on the OCRemix forums.  I had actually been replaying the two games and I was interested in the discussions going on.  I joined in and I had a whole mess of fun essentially deconstructing the series.  We tackled everything from love and war, science and history, timelines and dimensions, and everything in between.

Then a combination of real life and discovering big plot holes (damn you Marle's Grandfather Paradox!) squandered my enthusiasm and I went afk... for five years.


A couple of days ago I read an interesting tidbit of info about the upcoming DS port, namely that it might contain some rewrites.  Then I remembered my time here and decided to google the site.  I'm glad Zeality kept up the good work and turned the ramblings of a couple of bored gamers into a thriving community!  I'm also delighted that alot of my old posts are still around in one form or another.

Anyways, I'm going to lurk for a couple of weeks while I await the game's release and play it during the upcoming winter break.  I'll probably follow this with Crono Cross and relive the wondrous enigma that is its plot.  Maybe, in the mean time,  I'll argue some of the finer points: Belthasar Clairvoyance Inconsistency?!!?!!?  I THINK NOT!

I was wondering when you'd post after I saw your name in the Users Online section.
Welcome back!

This is why you never just throw out or break old data, even if you rewrite everything from scratch.

It's like some kind of oldschool Compendium revival! Where's YbrikMetaknight? GrayLensman? etc? Welcome back! Here's to hoping your lurking turns into getting heavily involved once again...

Oh yeah, and play RD again too! Why not? It'll only take like 5 hours tops, right? :lol:

Yeah dude, stick around.  There's enough going on around here these days to keep your attention and keep you coming back for more.  Anywho, I haven't been here quite a year yet, so I don't really know of you, but welcome back!

I didn't realize the site was over five years old... There must've been entire generations of forum regulars that have come and gone in that time.

Thanks for the warm welcome!  Since I haven't played the games in a while, I'm going to crawl through the Time, Space and Dimensions forum and brush up on my temporal mechanics.  See you there!

PS - I like this guy.  He's been bringing some good discussion to the analysis forums.  A breath of fresh blood.
