Thanks so much for this. Such a weird little culture. I still tell people that I was "famous" on a video game. Fucked up.

I was such a troll. Apologies for any feelings hurt over those years here on the old PSO/IGN/DC friend life plan time is gone please change now for your own sake.

Edit - I need a new icon and then I'm going to start posting here on the regular

You know, as long as there's a server up I'll likely always keep a toe dipped in that game in some form. That, or I'll get married. Or something.

Hope this gets seen this year...

I was STRIDER, a Greenill RAmar that never put down my Yasminkov 7000V, no matter what the strategy called for. Image was more important than results. About a year ago I fired up the GCN and logged in to that private Ep1 and 2 server. It was weird going through all those Guild Cards and seeing so many names, each with an accompanied flash back. Anybody remember SNK? (The player, not company.) Still play FFXI with him and we were talking yesterday about people we remember. For me, the community was so vibrant. Fond memories of chair races in the lobbies of Deneb 09:01 and trying to get stuck in the pillar by the lobby desk. Not to mention characters making suggestive animations upon other characters that were afk.

Not trying to hijack a thread, but what is this PSO2 thing I'm hearing about?

Welcome back, PSO2 has been out in Japan for about 7 years, and will finally be releasing here next spring on xbox, pc, ps4.
Its over all a fun game, a great cross between things done right across PSO/PSU/PSP games, the combat is a lot of fun, customization is great, however, it does have issues with to much focus on more glamour/clothing side of stuff at times, still, with the western release supposedly having everything in the JP version when it launches, there will be well more than enough to do for a long while, it should be free to play as its been in JP all this time, so no harm in trying it for any Phantasy Star fans.

Not to bump a dead thread, but I find it awesome to look back at this board and realize that IGN is where my gaming addiction really started.

I totally get the whole "I was famous on a video game" introduction.

I actually mashed up some things I liked from other games and real life and came up with "Alakaboom" I'm pretty well known on Ephinea and old school schthack PSO1 private servers.

BTW, "A la Kaboom." It's a mash up of Spanish and English referencing the Big Bang, or what I did to your brother last night.

Bumping a thread on a forum subsection which is on life support is A-OK.

Been about a year since I was on Ephinea.

Teenage CB handle - Green Giant > IGN Boards - GreenG > First PSO character - The HUmar Minsc > Minsc, my internet handle ever since.

The truth is out.

I either couldn't fit Green Giant as my IGN user name or I thought it was too lame. Not sure which. I believe it was initially the former and eventually transitioned into the latter. What ever the initial reason I decided Minsc was cooler. Reflecting, I may have signed up to the TFA forums as GreenG and later switched to Minsc.

Now, why Green Giant? Green Giant vegetables was probably the first thing that popped into my mind.

I record this into IGN PSO lore.

Pretty sure I remember seeing Minsc on TFA forums, for what short time I was there, I also remember it being on your card on PSO.

Thankfully you couldn't fit the full name, other wise I would have never taken you serious, and only picture this:

Ho ho ho, Green Giant - meme soundboard - sound effects - Voicy Network

Ho ho ho, so you took me somewhat seriously. In hindsight I should have made a Green Giant character on PSO. Green Giant the HUcast.

I enjoy it, they will actually be releasing a new game along side it later this year, PSO2: New Genesis, it looked to be more open world, looking forward to trying that one out.

Hope you all are doing well. Everyone in the IGN PSO crew helped shape me as a gamer to this day. Such fond memories.

It's not very active like it used to be. But I love your namesake! I ran into a HUmar on PSO a bit ago, named Chaz Ashley. After a quick Forest run, we parted ways, and I told him, "Oh yeah, pip squeak...Don't get any silly thoughts like taking on Zio, into that little head!"

He responded, "...me...taking on Zio?"

It was awesome haha
