Since my post here was a year ago when I was a stup clux, I'll post my more organized post.

1996: The computer we got just a few weeks after I moved to Canada had 4 free games with it: Raptor, Ken's Labyrinth, Terminal Velocity and Shareware JJ1. I play the 4 games frequently.


1997 or so: My best friend has full jj1 on his computer, I come over frequently and play it. After a year or so, his computer breaks down/stops working.

2001(summer): I go to an old run down computer store to look for cheap games. The second day I come to it or so I discover JJ2. Remembering the fun times I had playing jj1 I buy it. The price is miracolously only 2 dollars.

2001(summer): I play around in jj2 (mostly the SP level) and I dont touch jcs.

2001(late summer/early fall): A few weeks later I meddle with jcs. I thought it would be some uber thing where you can create your own creatures and stuff. Then I had no idea how to use it and my first level turned out to have no events, no bg, only layer 4 and some poorly done layer 1 eyecandy. It was suxy and I loathed JCS.

2001(fall): I started surfing the web for jj2 stuff. I ended up visiting the daily carrot, the main jj2 page, some other jj2 websites with downloadable levels, some dutch sites and some other stuff.

2001(fall/winter): I got better at JCS and realized how to use events. my levels were suxy and used the carrotus set. I put in hordes of enemies and got the animation error a lot. I surfed the web and stumbled onto Haze's Hideout, and I loved that site. I downloaded the christmas versions from there, and some other stuff. I tried to download shareware TSF but my download messed up and made me want TST even more.

2002: (January): I stumbled onto j20 and thought it was crud. Then I found the downloads section and started downloading stuff.

2002: (February): I kept downloading more and more files. I didn't know what the rating meant, not much, and most levels I downloaded where 4 and under. I was amazed at how new and new levels kept coming.

2002: (summer) I finally had the courage to register onto j20, and posted some sucky levels. In August I played online by the name of "2" (mostly because the key to change the language from english to russian was Space + Ctrl, which were my shoot and jump keys, so sometimes it would change to russian and I couldnt type any letters at all, and didnt know why). Online I met some people called "Salamander" and "Spotty" but didn't know who they were. I also saw Bob as well, I think..

2002: (fall) I registered onto the JCF and learned how to join online games but not how to host. People thought I was an oldie when I joined and treated me with respect.

2002: (fall) I learned how to host. Darker hosted a test server and I was doing really well on it. Then he asked me to join RR and I did. That was my first clan.

2002: (late fall) I was spamming the jcf boards mindlessly and was playing online frequently. During the winter or around that I couldnt join OR host, so I played jj2 no longer. I still visited j20 and jcf.

2003 (early spring): I got my connection back and could play. I also quit TRC.

2003: Things started going good from here and I dont feel as if I should mention them.
