Yo, I'm back. Long time no see.
I know I said I'd work on the site. As we all know, my last review was done on November of '07, and I haven't really updated since. I haven't done the things I said I would. It's not that I haven't had the time, but I haven't
used the time I had. I know the lack of views for this site is mainly due to the fact that I have neglected my own website, and have pretty much forgotten about it.
I'm gonna be honest right now, I don't know if Video Game Terminus will continue.
Don't get me wrong. I'm
not saying goodbye. I never say goodbye unless I'm 100% certain that I will never,
ever return. But I do have some sort of connection to this place, and who knows? Maybe VGT will continue... but I am certain that if I end up continuing to run Video Game Terminus, that it will most likely go in a different direction.
I started this website when I was 12. Back then, I was a young, naive middle schooler who loved to hang around Star Fox forums and just chat online. Yes, because I was young I was inconsiderate of others' feelings, and I know I was a bit of a little jerk and pissed people off. And for that, I must say I'm sorry. Though, for those that remember me well, if you haven't forgiven me by now, then I'm just gonna say that you have serious issues. I mean, first of all, you're angry a child. That's what I was back then, a
child. I've grown up a lot since then. I was 12 then. I am 16 now. Things change, and it's time to move on. I apologized. Whether you accept it or not, you had better move on. Otherwise, I don't give a damn. No one gives a damn. If you haven't grown up by now, you better start right now. I'm still a kid, I admit, but I've definitely grown up. The world turns and people change, and it will continue whether you realize it is or not. It's time to act like adults and move on.
However, I did make friends who lived in different parts of the world. If it wasn't for them, I probably wouldn't be the person I am now. Had it not been for them, I probably wouldn't have discovered Freewebs and I wouldn't have this website. Of course, as fate would have it, we have drifted apart. The friends I knew back then have moved on with their lives. I did get in contact with two people that I knew, who to be quite honest weren't really my friends per se, but I remembered them. One seemed to recognize me, the other one didn't. But, again, we've moved on with our lives. I do think about my old friends from time to time, wondering what they've been up to. But, I haven't bothered trying to contact them. They probably wouldn't remember me, but that's fine.
As mentioned earlier, I have grown. I am now 16 years old. In a couple of years, I will be graduating from high school. I'm not that 12 year old middle schooler any more. I'm also not as sociable as I was in the past. Sure, I chat on deviantART and YouTube on occasion, but as for posting in forums, no. I've also kinda fallen out of the Star Fox fandom, so chances of me posting in any Star Fox fan communities is very, very unlikely. I like the Star Fox games, but I'm not obsessed with it anymore.
I know, I've gone off topic, but I needed to get a few things out. After all, this site was my life. It wasn't just a game review site, but my own journal of sorts. But the whole "time to grow up" thing still applies to this site just as much as it does to you and me. This website was made for a 12-year old to express his love for video games. I'm still a gamer, but not as hardcore as I was. As I grew, I've become interested in more things. I draw a lot more now, and I've even started learning the guitar. I'm not as passionate about gaming as I was back then. That's why I've been uncertain lately. Now that I'm interested in more things, there are things that just don't get done at all.
Things are different now. Despite not being as good as I wanted, this site had a good lifespan. I've enjoyed doing what I did, and I'm glad there were others that enjoyed it too. And who knows? Maybe I'll become interested in updated this site again. But until then, don't worry about coming back for updates.
And to conclude this message, I want to give some shout outs.
To the one known as Moonlight Fox/Miyu Lynx/Umbreon (webmaster of the Lylat System website, real name Brian Carroll or something like that): I hope you are enjoying your life. I suppose your real life is what pretty much drove you away from your site and forums, but that's okay. If you are still out there, I hope you're having a great life. God bless.
To the one known as Ruby McCloud (my "cousin", real first name is Annie, if I remember correctly): It's been a long time. I remember meeting you when StarFox.org was still up. You were a great friend, and I'm glad to have met you. I hope you're enjoying life.
To the one known as Karinka (I don't remember how to spell the username): It's been a very long time, and I doubt you remember me. I met you on the old StarFox.org forums. I hope you're still okay.
To the one known as Arwingboy (Real name: Alex Garcia, webmaster of http://www.freewebs.com/arwingboy/): Yo, dude. I wanted to contact you a long time ago, but alas, I just couldn't reach you. Have a great life.
To the one known as SonictheHedgedawg (We've met before on the Lylat System forums): Since you've left me a message recently, you deserve recognition. I hope you are living a good life.
To anyone else that I forgot to mention: You all are good people. Have a great life.
To everyone: Thank you for everything.
