I miss making maps But then again HL2 got too far advanced for me and my lack of actually finishing a map didnt help.

I was just in another forum talking about you guys and so I decided to come post and say HI, IM NOT DEAD YET :smile:

I guess updates in a quicky:

Im 20 years old
Im single (thank God)
Im a guy last time I checked down my pants
2nd year college student in computer systems
Ontario Canada
Flew to the maritime provinces this summer for a vacation,
Lots of pretty pics of that available here:

I bought a plane
umm... I wish I could still make maps. And find the time to do so.

hugs and kisses to all! Especially Orpheus

Cool, how much does a plane cost?

Why snark works.

Don't give up on level design because you can't finish a map matey :smile: Just try making small maps if larger projects grind to a halt, that's what I'm doing now. :smile:

Wild Card, I figured you just pulled an Amelia on us.

Welcome home.

Coincidentally, I nominated one of your maps for the Saturday tourney. :smile:

You mean my maps (map?) actually get played? Or are you just pulling my leg :razz:

And who's Amelia? Amelia Earhart?

I actually went into my profile and read my tutorials and the comments, and the comments I got on Cliff Complex and almost cried haha. Wish I could map again. Wish I didnt stop in the first place. Alas, lack of time for it. Im working 6 to 7 days a weeks now to pay off my plane. Every two or three weeks I take a day off to go flying.

Jon, any interesting stories from you, or from the pit that I've missed? (Im sure there are :razz: )

You can pick it up again matey, just re-download hammer and you're off again.
You don't need to spend hours and hours everyday doing it, but I'm sure you can find like a half hour here and there to make some goodies.
It'll just be a slower process. :smile:

Yes, her. You flew off into the south Pacific for all we knew.

As for stories, Snarkpit hasn't really changed much in that respect. We still talk/fight/bicker/console/cry just like old times.

About the worse news is, of the list of active members, we now have more members gone, than active. Of the original Snarkpit roster, there are almost none left.

Well, hello Wild Card. Certainly haven't seen ya in a while either :smile:

Breaking the laws of mapping since 2003 and doing a damn fine job at it

Lep, Gwil, ReNo, Doc B, M$, ... thats all I remember, besides you dear Jon.

Well, of the original Snarkpit Roster, maybe its good I came in to say hello. For all you know Jon, I did fly to the Pacific and crashed and died.

But no, I just flew to Maritime Canada. I guess that's close enough though (even though its on the wrong ocean)

Meaow :razz:

My f**kin GOD!!!

Thats gotta be a record. Another old face, anew.

Welcome home one and all.

I think I'm gonna cry.

Excuse me...

/me gives tissue to Jon while he wimpers away at probably one of the best weeks in Snark history in the last little bit.

Hey Korn waves

Hello WC. I thought I'd already posted in this thread, but apparently not. I remember you getting your pilots licence, or part of it at least. I didn't doubt that you'd have your own plane before too long. What kind is it, and would it still fly with styrofoam chainguns and rockets mounted on the wings? :smile:

haha lots of questions about the plane. Its a Grumman American AA1 Yankee. And Im in a "partnership" with my mom, until I pay her back. And it wasnt new.

Its parked at my local airport (duh?) and you can read the wiki on the airplane here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_American_AA-1

Hah... just having a look see how things were going here, and couldn't resist replying in this thread. Hai :smile:

/me falls dead out.

This is just to much for me old heart.

cries some more

Keep wondering. You haven't screwed up until you decide. :heee:

As for new since you left... read on.

Needless to say, it cost me.

The best things in life, aren't things.

gasp

Jon, I wont say Im sorry, I wont offer condolences (spelling?) simply because, heck you've gotten enough already and I dont feel like getting you all mushy again.

But on the positive note, you're alive and using broadband (still?) Your post count is over 10,000 which is something I would have surely rivaled you had I not left. And some other stuff which I was going to post about last night when I read the thread but forgot.

I am sad to hear that "free at last" didnt make you free from the wife though. Hmm. :razz:

Next time you visit Canada, maybe I can provide you with hard drives or ram or a monitor for your system, as Im getting rid of some of my stuff.

hmm, maybe we'll have to release an HL2 DM map together or something.

Thank bud.

The "free at last" was a leftover from my Christmas avatar. It was frozen for a couple months and when I thawed it again, I posted that phrase.

Fort Smith has an airport BTW. hint,hint

The best things in life, aren't things.

/me doesnt have a passport... mubbles stupid Bush mubbles

Nor do I have any free time for the rest of my life. Im working full time 6 days a week until September. I leave my Saturdays available so I can go flying in good weather. If not, I call up work and work Saturday too. Gotta plane to pay :sad:

But maybe after all the mayhem, After I finish my last semester come September. That'll be over in January. I know by September I'll have half the plane paid off. After January I can either get a job in the field of computers, or aviation. Not sure which I'll go to. Computers would pay better obviously, but working at the flying club means I'll always be around airplanes and my plane. And it means it'll be a heck of a lot easier for me (who doesnt drive and relies on city buses) to go flying after work.

I do have plans to fly to BC at some point. A friend of mine lives there, and she's married and has two little ones now. I also want to hit Oshkosh Wisconsin, lovely airshow there. Last time I was there (2003) I got 2nd degree sunburns haha. I want to go back to the Maritimes again, that was loads of fun.

And of course I wouldnt mind venturing into the States, Florida (Oshkosh as I mentioned), Lake Placid, probably the bottom of the rockies as well. Who knows. Alaska too. I just have WAY too many places to fly to.. Fort Smith, Texas also now.

Many of us have updated our pictures in the gallery. Why don't'cha have someone take your pic in your new plane?

I bet that glider is old news now. :biggrin:

I got a really old/gnarly pic of me uploaded now for your laughter.

---

The best things in life, aren't things.

Yea that glider picture is back in 2003 when I got my licence. I bet I changed. haha not by much, I might have grown, but I still weight the same :biggrin:

[edit] Haha Jon, you look like some old biker dude :razz: Well, next weekend when I go see my plane I'll take a picture. Its been a while since I've had a decent picture taken of me..

Well, the picture on the front page is the most recent. I have shaved since the galley of horror shot.

---

The best things in life, aren't things.

I guess thats why they call it the gallery of horror then

I was thinking of running a contest to poll the ugliest of us, but few have the humour I do and prolly would get mad if I won my own contest. :heee:

Good choice on the plane, pretty comen one in the states isnt it?

The strength of the turbulence is directly proportional to the temperature of your coffee.

I hope you didnt come to that conclusion because of the name (American Aviation AA-1 Yankee)... Anywhere in the world, the Cessna 172 is the most prominent airplane. Yankees, there were less than a thousand built in the 4 years it was in production.

Really? Oh well, just saw a lot lot of photo's of em lately.

According to the company, there were 459 Yankee's built between 1969 and 1971 (although some were built in late 1968 AFAIK)

Cessna 172s, I believe started in 1956. And are still built today. With about 35,000 of them built.

Interesting. I always thought the price of any plane whatsoever would be in the range of a small house. Owning your own plane must be pretty awesome. And, yes, "American Aviation AA-1 Yankee" sounds super-patriotic :biggrin:

---

Why snark works.

Well that plane didnt cost me the price of a small house, but safe to say it cost me the price of a new car. A new plane on the other hand... will cost you the price of a medium sized home.

I can't even afford an old car :sad:

Hell, is an half-filled auditorium

I can afford gas most of the time :biggrin:
