I'm officially back, and this time for good.

[Blaze The Movie Fan]

Yep, I just played the game Jazz Jackrabbit 2 again, and had a lot of fun, it's been far too long since I have been part of this community for real.

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is a fun sidescroller.

Since I'm a big fan of guns, and also like flamethrowers, I enjoyed playing as a red rabbit who uses these weapons a lot. And these goofy creatures were fun to kill and not to mention funny.

Now my question is, how much has changed about this website since I left? I'm sure there is a lot that's changed. I was a teenager back when I was very active here. Back then I got in a lot of trouble as I was too stupid to follow the rules properly. Now that I'm an adult, older and more mature, that won't be happening again.

Some of you might be wondering who I am. Well, when I was a kid my name here was Bjarni Cool, The Real One Bjarni and names of those kinds, and the levels I made back in the day were horrible.

Anyway my question is, what single player levels are worth playing that are new since I left? It's been over a decade, I did play the game again for a bit in 2009, but I haven't played it on regular basis for a very long time. It's been a decade at least. In fact I checked when my latest level was made, and wow, it was all the way back in 2004, so it's been a long time.

Also, I'm thinking about returning to level making. I know the levels I made in the past were horrible, but I can learn from that and make better levels. If not, that's ok, I can handle criticism. Keep in mind that this is currently just a thought, I'm not officially back to level making yet.

Not much has changed. The community has been pretty stagnant at the moment.

The only thing I can recommend is checking out recent single player levels with decent/good ratings. I'm not much of a SP player. Not much has come out in the past few months.

Oh thank you I will for sure. But sadly I can't review said levels at the moment as I'm still banned on the main website for something I did back in 2004. I hope that ban gets lifted soon.

I am gonna download some new levels for sure though.

You could have asked :roll: I don't know what account you mean, you had quite a few.

You could have asked :roll:

Oh trust me, I did, I messaged Violet on these forums via PM. I'm now just waiting for him to respond.

It's this one: http://www.jazz2online.com/user/1030/blaze-the-movie-fan/

That's my current account.

[Slaz]

I thought one of the many Bjarni's was your original account. :p

Either way, welcome back! This proves that formally leaving never works out, and people always return once they feel like it.

[Blaze The Movie Fan]

Thank you all for welcoming me back it's good to be back. And you are right that one of my Bjarni accounts are my original account, but I don't use any of them anymore as my Internet name is no longer Bjarni.

I was on vacation, but I guess the problem has been resolved?

Yep, it sure has.

By the way I remember you, I remember you well, you were very active back when I was a kid. It's good to see you're still here. But most people active now joined after I left in 2004, so I don't recognize most of them.

Great way to make new friends :).

Great way to make new friends :).

Oh of course, that's a great idea, I'm gonna do just that.

holy crap, Bjarni, I totally remember you

:O

[Blaze The Movie Fan]

holy crap, Bjarni, I totally remember you

:O

You do? That's nice. But yeah I'm glad to be back, and I assure you that my next levelpack will have a lot of effort put into it.

[Blackraptor]

Hello, you probably don't remember me, but I remember you! Welcome back :)

[ShadowGPW]

Yeah... yeah, I remember you.

[Blaze The Movie Fan]

I have to be honest, I am honored that more people than I thought are still here. So that means I was wrong, there are indeed many people here who knew me back when I was a kid who are still here.

And you guys are welcoming me back despite the fact I made some of the worst levels on the website. To be fair though, it is excusable since I was a kid back then. But yeah, I'm glad to be back. And as you can tell I'm a lot more mature now than I was back then.

Also, can I get any recommendations on levels I can play? I don't care if they're recent or old, I want to clean my mouth off those awful levels I made during my kid years. The only reason I downloaded them is because I wanted to see how bad they were and they were bad.

I know I can search by ratings, but I wanna know from the community what levels they recommend the most.

[SAMI]

Well, everyone's noob in the begining ;) You're now able to make good levels because you have now experience from your past levels. Never feel bad if you're noob.

Anyway, I think the enemies in a level should have more AI instead of just walking in circle. More like if they see you- they come to attack. Maybe it's possible via Angle scripting.

And nice to meet you.

My personal favourite SP episode is FSP: Rent Collection (http://www.jazz2online.com/downloads/3482/-/), so if you haven't played that, I highly recommend it.

I also hear that EvilMike's episodically released pack (http://www.jazz2online.com/downloads/index.php?filetype=4&filesort=uploadTime&filesorttype=desc&filerating=&userID=17) from about 8 years ago is fantastic, so that's probably worth looking into(Although, it's very long, and also pretty diffcult).
