As most of you know I kind of fell off the face of the earth over a year ago. I've still been around uploading crap on Youtube, posting in my 16 threads, and acting like a retard over at MugenGuild. But I'm curious to see what everyone's been doing lately.
---------------------------------------------
I've moved from PA, USA to VA, USA twice! A year ago I was in Warrenton without internet, that was when the other ZGTeam board started having the DNS issues where only a few people could connect. I was mainly looking for a computer programming job, that didn't work out and so in March-April 2010 I moved back to PA. Tried for jobs all over the place there(not that there were many), then in September I got an offer from a place in Fairfax, VA. Been working there since early October.
I'm now about 30-45 minutes outside of Washington DC which isn't far enough! I'm still with the same long-distance lady.
Since then I've been working on Krillin and 16, trying and failing to come up with a Dynamic Pursuit System, been dead after work almost every day since February. I've been playing Minecraft, Terraria, Portal 2, and recently purchased Duke Nukem Forever.
I have just opened my new website which I had to do since Multimania(formerly Lycos) destroyed themselves by removing all the storage space for their long time users, lowering it back to 50 mb I think. So basically I have to delete half of my old site's content to update it.
The new site however is something I made entirely from scratch, and features my usual stupid humor, and non-serious comments about myself, and old ZGTeamers and people from the old days of mugen(GohanSSm2 and FlowaGirl for example). It's good fun. I still have loads of work to do though on my site though!
Mugen wise: Again, 16 and Krillin, and maybe Piccolo, 17 and 18! Reworked Krillin's old SB style Krillin sheet, fixed all the animation problems and added a lot to it. I also updated and fixed all my Buu Saga Krillin sprites to match up with the new Krillin. 16 is hot hot hot, but I need to tweak some last things and add self-destruct.
I'm a Mugen 1.1 alpha tester, which basically means I get to mention that it is better than WinMugen and 1.1, it runs a lot smoother, but may require a bit more memory and an actual video card. But everything has video cards these days. I made a bunch of stages for it already and have 16 testing a lot of 1.1 new features, like rotating Explods and the new .AIR functionality.
My Yuunie original WIP picked up for awhile, but stopped because I was indecisive on an outfit for her. I'll probably get feedback in the graphics section for that later!

I suppose I'll go next.... Sucks that you bought Duke Nukem, Strife...... hope you get over that. Me no like the idea of video card for Mugen Let's see what have I been up to??? Well facebook & Twitter updates mostly lol We are getting tons of Flood action here in ND, USA. I moved a lot of my cooler stuff out of my house for a while just in case we'd get hit by the flood. I'm in the safe zone and it looks like I'm cool. I really need to bring a lot of that stuff back.... My house sucks without it. Still working at the BestBuy.... I was recently promoted to Gaming Supervisor which is the best position I've ever held in my life. I get to make my own schedules and talk about my favorite hobby all day...... um yes please. Going back to school this fall for a Graphic Design Program. I've been listening to Lady Gaga a lot.... Can't help it. I recently bought the first Playstation Phone..... I like it altho many hate it. It just needs more GAMES! I've been going through women.... I thought I had the woman of my dreams. Huge gamer, model, actress, gorgeous, funny..... but sadly she was so f'in Demanding.... which is why I called her Demanda...... I decided to end it since she was way too overbearing for a chill dude like myself. That was the latest lady. Sadly still going after the love of my life. I'm crazy like that. We still click well every time we speak. Just found out something HUGE from a woman I dated a year ago..... so I'm still technically in shock mode. I'm still playing as much vid games as ever..... Gaming Supervisor pretty much has to... or at least that's what I tell myself. Mugen-wise I still watch the community and do watch battles. I haven't done much with my own WIP's lately. I still need to finish Namek Gohan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Watch anime like crazy lately too. I also watch the Dragonball Evolution Live Action Movie on Bluray every day of my life....... errr ok, so maybe I don't do that I don't get to go to Comic-con this year as I did last year..... But next year I'll be going for sure! I can't wait for my vacation that starts saturday. I'm going down to see a friend in Phoenix for the 2nd year in a row. That's about all for now. Oh Also have become an avid comic & shoe collector (my cousin/roommate works at foot locker.... so hard to not want new shoes all the time for huge discounts)

Well I think most of you know what I've been through, but for those who don't I've been dealing with my mother's illness as well as my own small problems. The worse is over for now, so I'm back to my normal weird crazy self.
fell in love and sorta had my heart ripped out 3 times now by the same girl, and I still don't think whatever is going on with her is entirely over, but for now I'm by myself and am enjoying it now.
As far as mugen I think I've stayed the most active as far as us zgter's still going strong on dragonball kai allstars, its about 35% through (maybe farther I can't give a real number) I also have whip I'm coding on the side whenever I get back to her.
Also been writing a novel and a few screenplays, writing has become my secondary hobby.

Sorry to hear about your mothers illness. My grandmother just passed due to cancer, so we've had ups and downs with her illness for a while. Just keep enjoying your time with her.

Well, as i can see, everyone has been very busy with life. That's definitely an age which cause tons of change in our lives: home, end of school/work, girls,... I'm sorry for your mother's problems Neo... Ok, concerning my life: I had 4 different works in Marketing/communication: - 1 year in healthcare (for an American society) - 1,5 year in Paris in an European Holidays Group - 3 month for a communication agency - And now since 4 months, in a national optical group (that one was easy) Yeah, it's been hard to find something as great as the healthcare experience, which was very interesting for his international part. Now i guess i'm ok with the work i'm doing. Products well balanced between health and trend. I’ve moved house 6 times !!! -> Sometimes even without my comp... 3 differents girlfriends also… Now i’m ok (well i hope to be) : I have a good job for me. I’m leaving since one and a half year in the same house, lol, with my girl I hope I have found a correct & balanced life. Concerning Mugen : I did prog the special systeme, AI, some supers, and stuff for Roken's Buu. He also finished him later cause i wasn't able to do so (starts of the life's shits) It was in 2007. After that, i did speak a little with Lonewolf. I was supposed to prog Bojack. That has been a bad part of my life (3 hours transprots per day, no more time). I think someone else prog it also. I just tried a lil Mugen RC4. That's weird, but a i missed it. You guys seems to be the same as in 2008

Good to hear from you guys again, looking like everyone's been going through a lot of crazy stuff, both good and bad. Roken is a family man now and a Jedi too (he's a got the best lightsaber I've ever seen anyway). I'd like to see him and LW show up around these parts. Same with Toad(I now understand why he stopped though, job really kills time. and 8 hours in front of a computer then more time programming/spriting mugen is mean). Dizzy got a name change and as far as I know is all about the Castlevanias these days(gooooooooooooooooooooooooood stuff). I understand why Toad stopped the Mugening ages ago with the job and all, he needs to bring himself back around though too. Michelle Branch(Insidious) and Detah would do themselves a favor by making an appearance too. And MV since I might code his SSj Goku sheet in the future. JediStarBurst, DW, WD, too many to name really. Even GohanSSm2 I'll admit as long as no flame wars break out between him and mRev. =)

my turn.
Well here some will remember me as Nachonal. Regarding my life in this last time I worked in a bank in the area of Strategic Marketing, after working in corporate Pizza Hut in the area of products and finally this last year at Nestle in marketing.
I am currently completing a master of science in marketing to enhance my knowledge.
With respect to mugen, my last job was playing the game of my team Dbz Saiyan Saga, which launched a small beta, before deciding to take a break from my partners.
Currently I have returned to action, helping my team as Gohan Saiyan Saga, and also ending a few personal wips as majin buu, turles and android 13.
gretting! and nice to see ppl like you around.

Marketing Products, eh. Maybe one time we will meet ourself... You come from Spain, if i do remember? from Chile, in spain Pizza Hut had to close, ate by Domino's pizza, and the food franchises, especially from the United States are coming into blocks, so in marketing and positioning there exist a boom with very good wages. wendy's, apple bees, papa johns, etc, etc, etc. without to mention the retails as walmart is grabbing a lot of strength to its product line. Someday we can speak about our interest, maybe can leave good ideas that can benefit us in our work.
