Bike or Die Reminiscing

It has been 6 years since I have started playing Bike or Die. I would not have made it throughout these years without the aid of this game. It has supplied me with both hope and love. We have been through many trials together. Whenever I was waiting for a movie to start in a movie theater, I'd whip out my Treo 680. Whenever I had to wait to be picked up from school, Bike or Die was there. It's through these experiences that I realize how special Bike or Die is to me.

Not only was it the game that got me through those years, but also the players. Kris, Xuzz, Brian, PMD, Bones, etc. Everyone in the Bike or Die community has been great. Not to mention, the world's greatest developer, Sz.

However, all good things come to an end. I'd like to send this message out to state my departure. Goodbye. I will never see you again. The years have been good, but I must move on. I'm moving on to bigger and better things. Goodbye, life. You have been replaced by my new Palm Treo and Bike or Die 2.0.

I'm back. As soon as I can somehow get the full version of Bike or Die (the purchasing website is down and I'm unable to get a hold of Sz), I will be up and running in the TTC.

Cheers!

Ha, so something awesome: that site that SPiDeR linked to was (until about a week or so ago) run by me.

I haven't played Bike or Die for... probably almost a year now. Maybe I'll start again sometime, who knows. Still occasionally check the site for new posts, though.

Ha, this game. It was the most epic competition I've ever been in, filled with determination, strategy, drama, and diplomacy, complete with a good set of friends. I was new to the Internet and to software development (now my career) when I started playing this game, so it's a fairly important and memorable part of my past.

I miss this smiley:

I think at some point I said I'd get my comeback in five years after everyone else became exhausted with the game. Turns out, five years isn't a very long time (I think it's been almost 4 years since I was seriously competing), but at the same time, my interests have changed quite a bit since then. I don't think I'll ever be able to play another game as seriously as I played this one. (That's a compliment.

) My T3 is still a good alarm clock though, haha.

Want to try to meetup on chat? Say maybe Sunday, April 8th, at 9PM PST? (Apologies to the people on the other continents.)

Mr.pickle.

I am curious as to how many people will show up for that....

Laser

I've got an exam the next day, so probably not. Can we make this a lot earlier?

Kristopher

3PM PST? That works for me (probably).

Laser

I meant at an earlier date than a month from now, Sundays are generally good.

Champ

I like the idea of us all meeting up. I will be able to make it most likely any day and any time. Just give us a day that will work Laser/Kris and I'll be there.

Kristopher

OK, so Sunday, April 8th, at 3PM PST then? It's on my Calendar.

Laser

Still wouldn't be able to make it- this week would be better.

bones

hm how lucky i randomly check this sight for nostalgia a week before a meeting... i think i can make that XD

Spence

I'll be on a cruise without internet unfortunately.

Mr.pickle.

Just realised I missed it! darn,..

Mr.pickle.

5 hours passed *tear* lowest that number has been in ages.

Spence

I'm back now so I guess that means we have to do it over again. Clearly it could not have been a fulfilling experience without me, laser or pickle. how bout Friday April 13th at 6pm?

Laser

That's still tough for me.
Any time in the first half of next week? (after that I've got more exams)

Xuzz

Aw, just missed Spence by a few hours. New date?

Spence

haha yeah I forgot to come back and change it. umm how about monday at 6pm?

Laser

I should be good with that.

Spence

that's Eastern standard time btw, idk if that changes anything for anyone...

Mr.pickle.

lol I totally missed both of those again, that's what I get for not checking through often
