    Yeah, my Skype is alexander.nicholi. Add me when you can, I'm about to go on break for lunch and have been BSing in 3rd block for a bit here. We can talk there :b

    That sucks, but it's understandable. Hacking is a pretty big time sink once you get into it, especially when you have to focus so much on stuff like balancing, themes, mapping, scripting, basically everything necessary in order to make something of good quality. Oh, and not to mention storyline.

    Do you have Skype? We could discuss about this a lot easier if we used some sort of IM.

    I really adore the grahpics work that DarkSneasel, Le pug and a few others have been doing in R/S/E, and am writing a parody of Ruby in hopes that I might be able to orchestrate a new-and-improved Nintendo-style on steroids overworld like they have going.

    Citrite's story was a lot more rounded out, but my life was in a rutt then so I had a hard time keeping up with it. More than a week with 100% of your time to yourself kills so much motivation. D:

    Yup, internet trades are a lot more efficient and easier these days.

    And that's awesome! I actually remember checking out one of your hacks but didn't realize it was you who made it, haha. I looked at Dragonstone and it looked really cool, though I'm personally not a fun of Ruby hacks. And really? No internet at home? That's almost unheard of!

    Yup. I barely play ROM hacks, but I actually have one in progress that I already posted a thread about. There's a link in my signature. :3

    Yeah, I hear the 3DS supports WPA/WPA2 and not just crappy WEP security, right? So internet trades are easier?

    I love ROM hacking, and have done a few projects in the past, but unfortunately both of them bottomed out for me. If you can on PHO, search "Citrite" in the WIP/Ideas subforum and "Dragonstone" here on PC in the Progressing Hacks forum. The former is an Emerald-based sequel to the latter, but the latter has far more progress done.

    I'm working on another to-be-announced hack right now, but unfortunately my main PC (a Toshiba netbook from 2009) is too slow to be able to handle the XP that came with it, and my desktop PC with Windows 7 only supports VGA and I have to work with this god awful shifting-edge LCD from hell that bleeds with the force of a thousand suns. So yeah, it's not looking good here, and on top of that we have no internet at home so I have to go online at school and the county library. Until I get my phone tethering, it's better than nothing!

    Do you ROM hack at all? Playing, hacking, tool programming, what? I do all three, but the latter two more so.

    Aww, that's sad! I was going to propose that we add each other but that's that idea out of the window. :c And you do ROM hacking? Or do you just play ROM hacks?

    And yeah, I'm quite envious! I would love to just have Alex as my name. But even so, AlexAhnon has always been quite iconic to me in terms of identity. I've used that for god knows how long, haha.

    I was so glad I could snatch this name as well, once name changes opened up. I was really lucky, but I also see others like you might have wanted it as well. It's become the default when joining smaller communities when it's available, otherwise I'm the full AlexTheRose, which I've only ever not been able to register on YouTube, but now usernames are gone so it doesn't matter. It's Alex :P

    I am absolutely psyched for it! It's got me really rejuvenated with my GBA collection and with ROM hacking, but unfortunately I'm a little stuck as far as getting and playing it goes. ATM our only 3DS is with my sister on the other side of the country, and we're so broke right now that I'll likely be getting AS and a 3DS on my 17th birthday in March. I have a copy of Y sitting on my shelf still in its wrapping >.>

    Ah, yeah, fair enough. I just thought you'd like some of their songs seeing as you mentioned them. Anywaysss, it feels oddly strange to speak with someone that has the same name as you.. Especially the one with the name itself, aha. Are you excited for ORAS?

    I don't really enjoy that genre all too much, really. The ambient music in Fruits Basket was really nice, though.

    Oh. Mekakucity Actors is entirely based on songs sung by IA. That's where both the anime and the manga came from in the first place, aha. Didn't realize you didn't know that, my bad.

    Eh? o_O

    Song? Uhhh... I don't know what that means. >_>

    Ah, there's no shame in that. Both of them were great, even though personally I found the Mekakucity Actors one to be a bit lacking. Which song is your favourite?

    No, no. The most I've gotten into besides Pokemon was a few short anime, namely Fruits Basket and Mekakucity Actors. I loved both of them, but other people specifically invited me to watch. :s
