Cool, Spaztic! So, I'm not actually being generally ignored!
(said with a hint of sarcasm)

Yeah, I got the Jazz 1 CD (Although it was around 1996 or something then). Actually, I should begin at the beginning. Xargon. My dad bought the shareware once at a computer show. It was the first platforming game I had ever played. Since then, I have been a great fan of Epic MegaGames. Whenever I visited my dad's work (always fun for me), I would get on the internet and check Epic's sight. I was really excited when Jazz 2 was announced (I think that was sometime in '96). I would check back at later times. I knew about the existence of the Epic Mega Message Board, but I didn't join.

Time passed, and eventually I was using the internet A LOT more often... at home. (I was older). Hmmm... I think maybe I was in sixth grade (I'm in tenth, now.) The first community I was ever a part of (however infinitely small a part) was the Redwall community. Several months later I thought about joining the Jazz 2 community. I had already thought up a name : I would call myself Another Jazz 2 fan, because there were several people there. And so I joined. I remember people like Onag, Dethman, Wakeman (all were around back then long before me). There were also others, Captain Spam, ZZT Pyro, Gizmo (with his awesome 'brought to you by' signatures), I think Bluez was there, and several others. I remember when there was 'competition' between the JJ2 community and the ZZT community. (Wonder what happened to them now ) And yes, that was back when Epic people posted on the board. (Or should I say, now, former Epic employees?) But that was back before the great Epic layoffs. (And I will never forgive them for that, Jazz began to go downhill from that point onward and not even *it* could save us.) But, enough about that!

Well, here I still am. Of course, I've been posting on and off. As well, I have nowhere near the number of posts as I did back on either of the Epic MMBs, or the JMMB. (Well over 100 each.) Guess that's why most newbies don't know me. Well, I've started posting again, so expect to see more of me in the future!!
