I think there will be for the PC holidays/new years events thing. There's also a PC Secret Santa event going on right now. So, there's stuff to do. c:

I know, they will probally look really alike to them in the official remakes, that's assuming we do get them.

I didn't create the sprites myself, if I knew the creator I'd give credit to them because they are amazing

I know, time seems to fly past doesn't it? :P
Oh yeah, repeating has been good in many ways, for maturing and pulling up my results :)

Yeah, it really is annoying :/ I've always had a problem with my tonsils though so I reckon it may be time to get them removed soon enough, hehe.
Oh you did Physics? Me too! And, and, I was terrible at it, haha :D I got Ds the whole time in 5th year, and I actually failed it in my mocks and actual Leaving last year :P (I like to be able to laugh about it, haha). I managed a C in it this year, so there's my Honour, even though it was only by the skin of my teeth :D
Good luck with Applied Maths and stuff. I really liked Maths this year, but I was only able for Pass Maths, the Higher Maths teacher was just... awful.

Well, I'm not an overly established hacker, really. In fact I'm quite basic. I guess that doesn't really matter too much though, once you keep the place from running riot :D

Ah, tough break man :D That sucks about school though- for a good stretch in secondary school I had to wait up to an hour to be picked up, and you're right, it's annoying. I eventually signed up for after school study, so at least I managed to get some work done while waiting. :)
Anyway, good luck with the car stuff, hope you can get it soon enough. Those school times are seriously awkward :/

I know right, checking the dates I just realised... That's crazy...
Oh, yes, I remember seeing your Birthday on Facebook- I probably didn't message about it even though I'd have had every intention of doing so :( Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your summer of finally being legal :D I still have to wait a few more weeks but it'll be just in time for college, so it's all good. :)

Yeah, I'm a bit sickish myself at the moment. I think it might be tonsilitis, I had it during my exams and it feels pretty much the same :/ Nevertheless I'll end up going out tomorrow after CAO offers come out; I'm hoping to get Irish and Music secondary teaching in Maynooth. I have the points, so I just have to wait and see :)

The moderating is going pretty well, I like to think :D It can get really busy in Emulation at times, but I've come to expect that :P And even then, there are plenty of times when it's not too busy at all, so I like it. :) It's nearly my year's moddiversary, so I'm glad I managed to at least stick it out for a full year- with intent to continue, of course :P

Ah well, it'd have only been fair for me to respond seeing as you'd done it last. But this has always been the case with me, as I'm sure you've noticed by now :D

Oh yeah, did you ever get the car you'd been seriously wanting all that time? :)

Nooooooooooooo!
I actually thought I sent a message MONTHS ago, and that you never responded. Not that I was annoyed at that, because I was terrible for that, but.. :( It'd been me this whole time. Damn it!
Thanks so much, dude, I'm really delighted with how they went. Now just to wait for offers on Monday, hehe.
Anyway, it's been much, much too long, and for that I'm really sorry. How the hell has everything been? 5th year out of the way, how was your summer? I'm so sorry again, it's my fault for not making sure I'd replied. I know that just seems like a dumb excuse, but it's the truth. Thanks again Andrew :)

Hey thanks! :D

I THOUGHT IT SAID METROID PRIME ONLINE TRAINING XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Iris's. Otherwise her name would be Iri and you would have the s already at the end. (That makes sense right?)

Thanks for the facebook birthday wishes, dude :) I'd comment there, but then I'd have to comment on everyone's so... Here is better, while I'm on my phone :D

Hehehe, nerdy, drunk, it's too hard to find an ordinary photo from a night out :D
My summer was grand, thanks. It was lazy apart from two weeks I spent at a School of Rock (if you've seen the film... That's the general idea). A load of my friends went too, and there was a concert at the end. Nothing major, it was like a family show thing, but it was great fun :P
Yeah, I know what you mean- it'd be a crapload of work, but if I gave it my best shot it'd definately be worth it. Thanks, man, hopefully it will work out. But a good thing this year- EVERYBODY'S going to college in Galway, hahaha. Between friends of mine that are already studying there, friend's from school going this year as well as friends from all over the country going there, I'll definitely spend a few days there this year :D
Right now, I've got the flu, and it's awful. Hopefully it'll feck off soon, as... It's just annoying :D
So, 5th year now, eh? It's going to be different to TY, but all the people in my school who did TY did well in the Leaving, so it's will have been worth it, though you probably know that :P

Pfft, I robbed my profile pic from one of my friends :D I'm the nerdy guy, the only one looking at the camera :P
Yeah, I guess we DO have pretty lengthy conversations, hehe. That's probably a good idea, then.
Yeah, it's enough for two courses I'd been thinking about (Games Development or Teaching/Arts). But either (or both) could go up, so.. I don't really know where to go from here atm. Ah, I'll worry about it another day, lol :D
No problem re the add btw, sure why not? :P I was a bit wary to say anything though, in case I'd the wrong person, haha. So how've you been? Was your summer good? (and it sucks School starts on Tuesday, my school- my OLD school is going back next Monday, so they've another week. Hell, I may be going back. It'd be like revision in some areas, yeah but I'd have to learn a new music course and some new English things :( so I'd be working pretty hard to get that covered.

Shite, sure I'm worse :/ Look... I genuinely AM sorry for always taking so long, dude. It has to be incredibly annoying for you, and for that I'm sorry. Now that I'm a Mod (thanks for the congrats by the way :) ) I will be even busier, you're right. So rather than making promises about replying right away- while I'd like to, it rarely actually happens- I CAN promise that I'll always respond, even if it takes a while. So yeah, that sounds like a crap arrangement, but I'd just like you to know that I'll never deliberately leave you hanging or anything. So... Yeah.
Also, no problem whatsoever :D it was... Pretty good, really. I was aiming for anything over 400 just to be happy with, and I got 410. While I could do better, I'm not turning my nose up at it. Having said that, though, I MAY have to repeat- I'll be applying to college this year, as I'm not 17 til September and you have to've been 17 as of last January or something, so... Hm. Taking the year out, dunno whether I'm repeating or not. That's the story of my life right now, hehe :P
Thanks for VMing, dude :)
Btw, I added an Andrew Shortall on Facebook, but I dunno if it's you, lol. Do you have an Eoin Finnegan in your friend's list? :D

thanks man ...

support is always appreciated

You know, I was more comfortable with XP. It's like 7 is a bit more complicated, from them trying to make it easier to use or something. I actually tried reinstalling XP first, and it worked fine, but the only disc I could get of it was an extremely old version of XP. I had the code I needed to register, but needed to connect to the internet to do so- and the problem was, since the version of XP on the disc was so old, it didn't support the USB Broadband. I literally had no choice but o install 7, as it supported the dongle. (I'll be honest, my friend showed mw how to get it for free, because I'm the only one in the house who knew where to start when it busted, and I would've felt bad asking Mam to spend a load of money on something she barely understands. (Not that she's stupid, she 's able to use a computer and all, just doesn't understand some aspects too much.
Wow, that turned into a rant. Oh well, lol.

Yeah, it pretty much just sucks. I got a bit done today, though. Tile inserting is hard with Paint, but I managed the trees and mountain tiles. I also reinserted all the FR OW sprites today, thankfully I found a really quick way. I've stored them on a memory stick and the internet so if a catastrophie ever occurs again (FINGERS CROSSED IT WON'T) I won't lose EVERYTHING.

Jesus, 700 in a month? That's... good. I need whatever source of income you'vegot, lol. Everyone's telling me to start giving Piano lessons, because there's loads of money in that, but I don't really like the idea of teaching it. I'll seriously think about it, though, because... money's money, hehe.
Anyway, I'd say that'd be enough. I know nothing, but it seems like enough to me, so good luck with finding one, lol :D

Yeah, Deoxys is class. I make use of all its forms, too, as well as... Introduce some new ones, fufufufu... Deoxys Sp Atk, Sp Def and HP forms, coming right up ;)
(Actually, not 'coming right up', but they'll be in it, is what I mean).

Well, we finished bringing home the turf over Monday and Tuesday, then I just cleaned the house alot. I just played Heart Gold, too (Frontier = Great for boredom, its savage they even included that). Then we had visitors Saturday and Sunday (more cleaning was done for them). I think I'll try to get a job soon.

(Desperate Housewives = Class, lol).

I was thinking, are you on Facebook or anything? We could add each other there, if you want. I don't really mind, I just thought of that now, lol :3

Right, well... My promise to be diligent in replying was evidently a hard one to keep. Although it wasn't like a month (the worst I've ever been), so I suppose I'm not getting WORSE, but still, sorry again. Anyway...

The broadband yoke has proved a bit more troublesome thatn expected. We had Windows XP when we got it, and the day after I sent my last VM to you, we got a Blue Screen of Death. Apparently they vary in seriousness, but this was so bad we had to get Windows 7 just to be able to use the computer. Still have the broadband thing, but the trial expires on Wednesday (it Should be Friday, legally, but the shop said thay'd prefer Thursday. So I have to keep using it to see if we get any more problems. Got another Blue Screen the other day (after getting 7), but the computer seemed completely fine after that one, so some people are telling me to make as good a use of the Broadband as possible, while others are saying to avoid using it for a few days to determine whether or not it's the source of the problem. Meh.

Ah, so if you bookmarked the thread (thanks, btw), you'll have seen that I had to restart. Because of the Blue Screen of Death, I lost everything- literally, everything- so I have to start again from scratch. I'd done plenty of restarts before, but none of them were totally clean restarts- I could always import all the graphics and stuff. Oh, well, nothing I can do about it, I just have to get working. :\

Oh god, everyone loves Oxegen. I suppose, getting drunk in all that muck... lol. That's exactly what one of my friends said- "Going next year no matter what." I don't really care either way, But I'd need money first. Broke after last weekend, think I spent about 50 euro (OMG, there's no euro symbol on the keyboard, rofl :D). I won't be going out for another while...

Dude, your sprites are savage, I'd never have been able to do them. I love that Mom overworld, too, thanks for that :) And the engineer man, they're perfect.
Lol, I didn't mean it like that, hahaha. Hell, at least I'm not hacking Final Fantasy, you'd have weird ass hairstyles everywhere, lol.

Nope, I hadn't planned a parent being the Gym Leader. I prefer the Pokémon games where your father is nonexistant, hahaha. I don't know why- nothing against my own auld lad, either- it just feels weird to include a father. They only did it in RSE, so I'm sticking to the style of the other games, in this regard. But yeah I'm keeping Deoxys as a legendary (THANK YOU FOR THAT USERBAR, I'M PUTTING IT IN MY SIGNATURE RIGHT AWAY :P). I'm really happy with how it fits in with my story, Team Technic and all. 'Technic'
as in scientific, not really sure if it's a great name, but I can always change it. Anyway,Deoxys... Well, you'll see. I'll probably tell you in the meantime anyway, hahaha :).

I'm pretty good. Broke, as I said. I think I'll get off my ass and start trying to find a job. If I leave it too late, I'll be sickened and wont even get one. I mean I'd need one for the year, so... I really need to get a move on. Nearly finished Heart Gold now though, family friends were over yesterday so I took advantage of their young lad's DS to trade from my Pearl to Heart Gold. Nothing high levelled, just starter eggs and I evolved my Graveller and stuff. You been busy over the last week, or just takin' it easy :)?

Again, I thought I already replied. Sorry, it sounds like a crap excuse, but it's so true!

Anyway, I FINALLY got broadband today- actually typing this on the computer. 3 Broadband, but it's brilliant so far anyway. I've a 15 gig download limit which I'll never use, lol..
The reply I thought I sent before had agreed with you about the sig, but I've changed it now, regardless. I've since had to switch to Ruby, because Emerald was being a handfull to script with. I can do them, but when I actually put them into the game, they would make the maps go all glitched. That means they were overwriting the Map Data, which is easily fixed, just repoint the scripts to anoter offset.
Didn't work. I expanded the ROM (made it twice the size, with the expanded part being nothing but free space), and the script program wouldn't allow me to compile the scripts in the expanded area.
Long story short, Ruby lets me script, so for progress' sake I switched. I'm still looking for a way to make Emerald work for me, so when that happens I'm going back to it.

Jaysus, may go down to this pub of yours! I do love food. And drink, for that matter XD That's cool, though, I'm sure it'll work out great.
Ak, parties. Had a 19th last weekend, have a 19th next weekend. I love that my friends are so old, hahaha. This next one is instead of Oxegen, which I doubt I'll ever see in my lifetime. No worries, alcohol and YouTube is a good substitute :D (Ok, no, it's not, at all, but w/ever)...

Overworlds... Actually, there is one. You know those Engineer/Worker lads in the mine in DPPt, Oreburgh City? Could you do a FR one of them, please? Sorry, I always pick the ones with the awkward hats :3
I'll have a Heroine sprite for you to overworldify, soon. Finally got off my ass and made an effort on it. I'm working on the hair, it's a bit tricky (not to scare you, lol) but I should have it soon. And I'lll actually be able to upload it from my computer, because I FINALLY GOT THE REAL INTERNET! I'm just so frickin happy, lol.
So, how're you doing?

Damn, I keep trying to reply and something else distracts me... I REFUSE to take too long anymore.
Anyway, they're fine dude. As a matter of fact, I've tweaked them slightly, and they're inserted, running/walking frames too. Thanks a million, man :)
Anyway, I have ONE exam left, and it's not til Thursday. Had Physics yesterday, and.. Yeah, twas alright. I just can't wait for Saturday, it's going to be brilliant.
Lol, saving up for a car. I've never even thought about that, even though alot of my friends drive, and some of them with their own cars. Two of them have Hiluxes, which is funny, seeing a massive... Jeep truck yoke coming into school every day.
Yeah, I've found out the cause of the scripting problems, and I've been glancing at an accurate tutorial now and again. Still practicing, but I'll get there soon at this rate. I just need a few events to put in screenshots so the thread looks decent when I put it up. I could just do map shots, but that would only show graphical edits, so.. I need to script stuff :)
My bad, I dumb- you did tell me about the pub before. Hopefully you'll get more than old people now :D
I was thinking... I'm not sure what starters I should use for this wee hack, lol. I mean, I'd planned on having Fakemon in the future, and have Fakemon starters, but until then I need placeholders. I've inserted the Sinnoh starters, which starters do you think I should use? (collectively, as in the Kanto starters or Sinnoh starters, etc). I could insert the gen 5 starters, but I.. Don't want to, lol.
So how was that party a couple nights ago?:D

AHA!
Hi, it's been ages! No worries, you're entitled to be busy/late, I've been late loads of times- it's fine, it's just great to hear from you, man :)
Regarding the Leaving, thanks- 4 more left. I finish next Thursday, feckin second last day. Music :/ but it's the 3 between now and Thursday I'm more worried about. Friday will be hell- German and Design. Monday will be very "meh", it's Physics. Just want to get them out of the way, and get on with the summer. So much drink to catch up on. What's brilliant is my best friend's 19th is on next Saturday too, so there's like.. Twice as much drinking to do. I exaggerate the amount I'll drink myself, but it'll still be class :P
Actually, no, I'm not going to college until next year. Talked it over with the aul ones, we decided I was a bit too young for it, this year- I'm 17 in September, so like a whole year of being in College but not being a legal adult. I kinda regret the decision now, but there's nothing else for it but to look for a job for the year and save up for it. When I do go, I'm thinking of doing Arts in NUIG, for Irish and Maths teaching. Originally I'd Irish and Music in mind, but NUIG doesn't do it, and I've the year to think it over, anyway.
HGSS... I actually restarted since, haha. Was tired of trying to grind. I'm at Clair's gym now though, with a Meganium, Pidgeot, Graveller and Gyarados all around 38. I went through it alot slower this time, and made use of the PokeWalker. I usually just shook the crap out of it, but I've unlocked a load of the courses on it, and got things like Smoochum and Elekid and Murkrow before you can get them in-game, which is cool. If you walk around without anything in it, a Wild Pokemon "joins" you for a stroll after a while, which is cool. Usually common things like Zubat, but I was still surprised, as I hadn't remembered it was in my pocket.
Ah, the sprite. Still haven't done out properly, but got the sketch done. You'll see in my album the latest Infinity spoiler- put up yesterday- has the Player's silhouette. That was literally a 3 second edit of Red's overworld (I just added hair to the top- I think I'm still gonna need you to do it for me, if you want), I left it black because of that. It's so easy to look mysterious, lol- just don't show certain things and constantly say "coming soon". It is though, I just have to solve some scripting problems I'm having- after several attempts, I now actually know how to write several different kinds of scripts for the game- but they don't work. I mean, I'm absolutely certain that I'm doing everything right, but it just won't work, so I've to see if anyone knows what's going on. Should be fine, though, I expect to have a thread within a few weeks of finishing the Leaving.
Thanks again for the well-wishing. It's just so damn tedious, I just want them to be done. I mean, some people are finishing tomorrow, whereas the music class (incl. me, duh) are waiting til next thursday. They should have a few subjects going on at once. Complicates the system and all, but... Well, I wouldn't care :D
Another day off tomorrow, six or seven hours wasted studying :( bleah. It'll pass.
Despite my whinging, I'm good thanks :) got €50 from my uncle for footin turf (you can't say "footing, it feels wrong :3), I want Final Fantasy 13 after the Leaving... But I'm not quite sure why.
Have you seen the 3DS? It actually seems pretty impressive. But something else I want but haven't enough money for... Feck it, I'm saving up for a laptop.
So are you still in school now? Or did I pick that up wrong? Again, great to hear from you dude :) (so sorry for the uber long message, lol).

Belated happy birthday, dude :)
You're closer to being legal than I am, lol :D
