I have no idea. It's a pretty good 2d parallax scrolling 2d platformer with friendly people all around, i guess. I followed the development of the Jazz series since 1994. I eventually improved my english a bit. And some other stuff.
Very inappropiate post, sorry :)

Yup. It definately changed my life. I've been playing it for longer than I can remember right now. My memory leads into the fog and darkness of time Online I improved my English a lot, I learned a lot of new computer stuff like programming/memory editing file resource hacking/security cracking, ect, etc, etc... Man I think I am the one who released the most programs for jj2 so far. It just feels great if you know you are a part of something.
I also got new friends online (which were my only). This JJ2 is definately the best. I tried switching to UT/Q3A some times but failed. Looks like I love jj2 too much. This game is really great.
Too bad it has no future...

Jazz DID change my life.

I've always had fun playing, and I still enjoy it. My Jazzing reached it's top about a year ago. It made my school prestations drop down badly. However, I think it was worth it.

As far as regrets, my only major regret is that I've made many many friends over these years, but I can say that out of who I talk to more often now, only very very few are the same friends that I knew from way back when. A lot of them disappeared into thin air and I have no way of contacting them. Sad.

Yes, I miss some of the people that were around in the good ol' days.. I also regret not being terribly active back then, I missed a lot.

Jaazz Jackrabbit has definitly changed my life.

While I have been playing Jazz1 since I was around 7 or so, and Jazz2 since I was about 8 or 9. While I was never active in this community until this summer, I have always played Jazz2 on the internet. And a TON of 2 player with AJ2F! (It was lots of fun, except player 2 keys can get really annoying.)
I would have to say my favorite thing ever, was I think around August 1999. I had made my first ever level. It was battle, and the tileage was horrible. I had tons of weapons and warps, and was huge. Then I hosted it on-line. It was amazing how many people joined. There were easily more people playing my level than any JDC event, and we were having so much fun in the absolote crappiest level ever! It was awesome!


Bad times were in late June of 2002. I had for the first time been active on the community, and my first posts were awful and really dumb, AJ2F was embarrased, and later on so was I. I later deleted most of these first dumb posts to spare me more embarrasment. (an example, someone had posted a topic. I replied, a very dumb one at that, and it was the first reply to that thread. So then I posted again saying Yes! I was the first person to reply. I later deleted this post and several others like it.

I am going to have to end this reply, since the cat is walkinng on the keyboard, bloking the screen, and trying to yank the mouse.

PS I (duh) have also met Atomic Feline. Its kind of funny, that you can feel like you are friends with everyone here, and think you know about them, when you really don't. To think, I used to think that Atomic Feline was a girl.

I just typed away without much thought so some of this is amazingly unordered.

Like many of you, I also started jj2ing more than 4 years ago on a 14.4 and had a blast. The early battles where everyone's skills where relatively equal and I had a chance at winning . I still remember details from those games, especially ones that were "important" like the first time I saw the community's big names in-game (like Capt. Spam, Dethman, ST, etc), and my favorite game ever: JDC vs. MERC.

Joining MERC was one of the best things I've done while Jazzing, and I did it only because it was Onag's clan. I didn't know him at all at the time, except for the fact that he was well respected and deserved that respect. I grew to know him well during the rest of his Jazzing days and without a doubt he was my favourite Jazzer ever. (Fquist would be second, btw ;p). Up until the end of EM I was proud to tell others what clan I was in.

I also loved figuring out how to use JCS using the few resources available at the time. Learning how to do "harder" stuff and create some resources myself (like the (first) MCE list and TC101) were also among my favorite activities. I have no idea why I'm the JCS mod though, as my learning stopped back then and many, if not most people have devised many tricks not even thought of back then.

I have tons of memories of good times, and seldom any bad ones. Whether that's because I've forgotten them or I haven't experienced many, I don't know. I remember everyone calling me Iceman, which I really didn't care about, just kept complaining about it to be noticed. I remember this one girl who kept asking why I was Ice "M A N" when I was only twelve. Staying up to 4am plaing Worms Armageddon with Onag was also incredibly fun (Thanks again Wakey for making that possible with the Jazz2 Quit II which I won). I remember my first post on the Epic Mega Messageboard, the Epic Indicators or whatever they were called and reading EVERY SINGLE POST the day it was posted, which went into the JMMB as well. I remember having J2C as a homepage and my reaction to just about every news item posted. I remember when J2C closed too, and I swear my eyes just got teary just thinking about it.

Anyway.. by the end of nagcentral... Oct or so last year, I had no more place in the community. Nothing (or close to it) to help out on or anything. Which is disappointing to say the least because one of the reasons I enjoyed this so much was because I COULD help people who needed help. Now it seems I'm just taking up bandwidth.

Anyhoo.. I grew up with Jazz. I don't regret it. I've learned many things like helping people, how to learn by myself, and with help. I've had fun and you guys have always made me feel.. good. It was great then, but I really don't see a point in it anymore.. so this will probably be my last month sticking around. When school starts up.....

There just aren't the same type of people around here nowadays. People like the J2C crew and many other oldies who made this game something worth sticking with for 4 years.

Yes Jazz has changed my life, or at least taken up a significant portion of it.

Moving!

JJ2 did nothing for me. Everything I ever needed to know about it to do anything for me I figured out in the demo. I don't mean to sound negative.. but... okay, I do mean to sound negative. Mwahaha!

What Newspaz said, only I don't quite think it was worth it.
