Members | Golex | Interview
Conducted August 2004. Not really an interview, more like a chat log. Sorry if I seem a bit boneheaded at times, as you can see by the timestamps it was getting a little late. ;)
SteelTalon (11:20 PM):
golex
SteelTalon (11:22 PM):
hmm I guess you're not there
SteelTalon (11:23 PM):
anyway, if you remember jazz jackrabbit 2, go to www.jazz2online.com/elmtree/
SteelTalon (11:23 PM):
and if you still happen to have it installed then we would like your old levels. so if you somehow still have them email them to me at steel_t@yahoo.com
SteelTalon (11:24 PM):
if not, no big deal. we're just fleshing out our retro collection ;)
(yes a few people actually still play it, though I probably cannot be counted among them)
golex0007 (11:29 PM):
Man
golex0007 (11:29 PM):
I barely remember doing that stuff :-)
golex0007 (11:29 PM):
I don't have my maps anymore
SteelTalon (11:29 PM):
heh thought so
SteelTalon (11:29 PM):
it was hard to track you down ;P
golex0007 (11:29 PM):
lol
golex0007 (11:30 PM):
had alot of fun mapping, and made a few good ones, but wouldn't know where to find them anymore
SteelTalon (11:30 PM):
theyre probably gone. that was another era
golex0007 (11:30 PM):
so there is still a JJ2 community? that is insane
SteelTalon (11:30 PM):
yeah there is still a small community
SteelTalon (11:31 PM):
mostly people just go on the forum, but a handful of people actually play. that is largely in "league" play though
golex0007 (11:31 PM):
impressive
golex0007 (11:32 PM):
fquist still around?
SteelTalon (11:32 PM):
J20 is still going pretty strong. you can cruise around for a bit of nostalgia i guess. yeah fquist is heading up J20
golex0007 (11:32 PM):
I talked to him like a year ago
SteelTalon (11:32 PM):
oh yeah?
golex0007 (11:33 PM):
thats probably the extent of the people I remember from JJ2, lol, and damn that was like 8 years ago
SteelTalon (11:34 PM):
heh yeah. most people that hang around do so just to talk to ppl. and the nostalgia factor
golex0007 (11:34 PM):
anyway, if anyone is interested n my whereabouts, give them my aim sn. I graduated from college in May and started my own business: www.gameforcecenters.com
SteelTalon (11:35 PM):
cool. guess I can update your profile then ;P
golex0007 (11:35 PM):
lol, sounds good
SteelTalon (11:35 PM):
its very odd but every once in a while I still have some kind of obsessive compulsive thing to map. thus a spontaneous release like every 2 years
golex0007 (11:36 PM):
wow, heh
SteelTalon (11:36 PM):
even though nobody plays anymore. its funny. I probably would do some unreal mapping but my experience with that editor has been, uh, testy for lack of a better word
golex0007 (11:37 PM):
I am not creative enough to map, dunno how I pulled it off back then
SteelTalon (11:38 PM):
heh. I'm all creativity no work ;)
...im looking at your website. so you own this store then?
golex0007 (11:38 PM):
yeah
SteelTalon (11:39 PM):
looks like you run a small LAN too
golex0007 (11:39 PM):
the business is a LAN
SteelTalon (11:40 PM):
ahhh. I was under the impression you sold games too
golex0007 (11:40 PM):
nope
SteelTalon (11:40 PM):
so you opened up this store? got dreams of a huge chain someday? ;)
golex0007 (11:41 PM):
yes
SteelTalon (11:41 PM):
good stuff man. what made you want to open a lan center? think there's good opportunity for expansion in that business?
golex0007 (11:42 PM):
bunch of bored rich kids here in Kingwood with nothing to do
golex0007 (11:42 PM):
and definite opportunity for expansion
golex0007 (11:42 PM):
industry is very fragmented right now
golex0007 (11:43 PM):
anyway, we are about to close up for the night so I gotta run, talk to you later man
SteelTalon (11:43 PM):
heh ok. peace out dude
golex0007 (11:43 PM):
Cya
