Topic: Goodbye/Vacation Thread

So had alot of fun at Universal Studios Hollywood this past week. The first night we got there we just walked around area where our hotel was which turned out to be down the street from the famous Mann's Chinese Theater so we got to see all the star's handprints and footprints which was cool. Also checked out the walk of fame for bit which was nice too

Monday is when we went to the park and we all had a blast. We got there about 10 AM and didn't leave till 8 PM and that was because the park closed early due to some private event and honestly if I knew it was going to close early that day I would have gone another day. But for the most part we got to do what we wanted to do. We did all of the Harry Potter part of the park which was awesome it did look and felt like you were in Hogsmead even the actors spoke with English accents which was awesome. Managed to try some Butterbeer which reminded me of a Butterscotch Rootbeer.

After the Harry Potter area we did the Studio Tour which is probably the most famous ride at the park the one where you ride a tram and see and see different movie sets like The Bates Motel from Psycho and Jaws and King Kong. This was the first time I saw the King Kong ride since the original burnt down and to be honest I liked the original alot better. Now instead of a huge animatronic it's just a 3D ride.

After the tour we decided to check out The Simpsons area which OMG as a fan of the show it was alot of fun. The had an actual working Krusty Burger where we had dinner. The menu consisted of the standard menu from the show, Krusty Burgers, The Clogger, Buzz Cola and even Duff Beer. Once we were done with dinner we did the The Simpsons Ride which is a Virtual rollercoaster.

The last thing we did before leaving was the Waterworld live show which as always was great.

So that was my vacation in a nutshell.

@Tasuki Sounds awesome man! Glad you enjoyed it.
I was just about to post my Harry Potter thoughts in the Movie thread because I’ve been rewatching the whole series in rapid succession. I’m so jealous!

@Kidfried @Tasuki

@Tasuki great stuff brother. Im needing some Duff beer right about now!

@RogerRoger Actually it did. Along with the Mother Nature Burger.

Hi all, reporting back in after a few hectic months of ‘life happening’.

I didn’t plan this period of absence consciously but it just happened organically. Had to do some reorganising on different aspects of my life but I have the feeling that things are falling in place so I figured I could use a chat about my beloved hobby (among other things) again.

It’s great to see the core members still carrying this community with the same down-to-earth mentality and respect that I value so deeply. A special shout out to @themcnoisy is mandatory for making the PS3 library rating list happen. What a legend! Absolute great read so far (great work from the teams and their respective captains as well ofcourse).

I did get into some gaming endeavours the past few months but I’ll share my thoughts in the appropriate threads.

Have a great weekend y’all!

@JJ-firl yo yo. If you fancy joining in to the Ps3 thread let me know.

I never bought Avon colony like you advised me too (that only feels like 3-4 weeks ago) how long have you been away mate? Got too far into dreams though which kind of fills that gap.

@themcnoisy A little over 4 months, except for one comment on the missed opportunity of calling the Crash Bandicoot incense holder N.CENSE. I'd still recommend Aven Colony but I here good things about Surviving Mars as well but I haven't come around to playing it yet.

@RogerRoger Thanks, I'm in a good place right now Hope you are as well.

Should say a little after the fact that I'm having a bit of time out. Nothing massively wrong particularly, just sitting a few things out for a bit.

@RogerRoger @themcnoisy
Thanks for asking guys - I'll be a bit more visible in a week or so.

@KALofKRYPTON cheers buddy see you in a few weeks!

@KALofKRYPTON Be good to have you back in these humble pages soon!

@KALofKRYPTON Peace, my friend. Hope to have you back soon but life takes precedence.

Some of you know this already, but I'll be completely unavailable from Sept. 12th - Sept. 21st. Family vacation.

Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow.

Have a good one

@Ralizah Enjoy - may your Switch time be plentiful.

Cheerio @Ralizah ! Safe travels and have a nice trip!

@hippymidget Sorry, but this post goes against the community rules.

@Quintumply Fair enough

@Ralizah see you soon. Have a great time away!

@RogerRoger Awesome news, have a good one RR.

Going to be gone for a little while again.
Got my big move, found a great place, now I need to find a job that pays the bills.
Hopefully be back sooner rather than later👍!
