Back to Barrowdowns after 4 Years! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Eorl of Rohan · 04-08-2010, 06:17 AM

.
I doubt whether any of you remember me, but hi. In the space of four years, a lot of changes occurred in my life!
I got hit by a car and spent half a year in the hospital trying to mend my shattered bones,
somehow scratched and clawed my way into the highest-ranking university in Korea,
fell in love for the first time, fell out of it, got a part-time job where people actually PAY you to be their interpreter
(For a chance to speak in English once more, I'd have paid THEM. Suckers. Heh.)
But I could never shake off a vague empty a feeling that I had forgotten something important and precious.
Then, four years later, it hit me with a BAM. The Barrowdowns Forum! I was missing you all.
So yeah, I'm back. Ah, the Black-And-Sickly-Fluorescent-Green Design brings up so many happy memories, too...

Welcome back Eorl! It seems life is progressing along well for you to have so much happen in 2 years. Much has happened with me since I first set foot in the Barrows back in 2000.... I know where you're coming from with the happenings.

Eorl of Rohan · 04-08-2010, 06:38 AM

Yep.

I'm home.

Thinlómien · 04-08-2010, 06:45 AM

Hi Eorl! I remember you from the Númenórean Blood Runs Black RPG (my first RPG ever, and I was such a newbie back then! Now, as you can see, I have been around more...

) Anyway, welcome back!

Eorl of Rohan · 04-08-2010, 06:51 AM

Hi, Thinlomen! I remember you too

It's so nice to see a familar face! Playing any new RPGs recently?

... 6665 posts. Holy Mithrandir.

Hello from a face you've never seen before! Seems like you've had a lot of Real Life coming at you -- but don't we all?

(And oh dear, as of this moment, Lommy has 6666 posts. I feel something earth-shaking coming....)

Hello, Eorl!
South Korea, you say? Let me be a bit cliche here - game of Starcraft II?

Eorl of Rohan · 04-08-2010, 07:29 AM

Starcraft had a II? When? They did not, perchance, release a Baldur's Gate III, did they?
Hospitalization and studying for university exams tends to disassociate you from the world around you. Badly.

Welcome (back), Eorl! If it's four and not two years, then it explains my initial confusion about whether I should know you - now I can peacefully accept the fact that I don't. Nevertheless, hope to get to know you better too, and hope that you are going to enjoy your renewed stay here and remain around

Durelin · 04-08-2010, 05:43 PM

Welcome back! I don't think I ever got to RP with you, but I remember your 'face' so to speak.

Starcraft II still isn't out!

Apparently a Baldur's Gate III is in the works (or at least is planned), to be published by Atari...but I don't know who the developer is going to be...
