The Maniacal Rantings of Lard Bobbo

The RE-Returning

This one is mainly for my homies on the MineTrek2 server, who'd better know me as Lard_Bobbo (go fig). Now while I haven't updated this in over 4 years (personally I was shocked and awed the I could remember my password) I am apparently not the only one to "return from the dead." And I have pictures for proof...


Now for those who may not know the story... In the September-October-ish time of 2011, I, in my never ending quest to play the next videogame, have heard wispers of this game called Minecraft, then I stumbled upon this...



Safe to say my mind was sufficiently blown, and sure enough, I had my sister's friend's husband gift me Minecraft for my birthday. Unfortunately at the time Halkun's 1-1 scale Enterprise-D was not available on regular Minecraft...blahblahblah...long story short: Minecraft 1.2.5 came out...gave rise to the MineTrek2 sever, and there was much rejoicing.

And then tonight (well 4:15 in the morning) Halkun himself appeared on the server! And I actually talked to him for a little bit, he said that he was being interviewed for a Minecraft documentary, and this was in fact the first time he signed on in 10 months (this was news to me, but if I'd paid attention I'd have never dropped out of college) and had been astonished at how much work has been done in his absence, and that he may sign on again!

 I guess what I'm trying to say is: it's not everyday you "personally" get to meet the person who inspired you to play a game.

And BOBBO'S BACK!

...But for how long? >:]

*EDIT*

Also this happened to me once, but I've always been a little dubious about it...



Lucky he was on my team! He would've sniped me in a heartbeat.
