HAY GUYS GUESS WHOS NOT LER
Moderator: Quantum P.
usually when someone brings up something dumb i did or said from the past, i try to justify it or at least explain what was running through my mind at the time. and when people laugh at me for liking weird shit like nazi black metal and incest furry webcomics i usually shrug it off and go off on my merry way with an aphorism to myself like "there's no accounting for taste". after all, everyone likes eurakarte even though he loves dickgirls and kjorteo even though he loves wolves licking raptors' feet until they have dinosaur orgasms
however i don't normally say much when these images are brought up, simply because there's nothing i could conceivably do or say that wouldn't just make it worse.
so i have no arguments or denial or excuses this time, simply regret and self-loathing distilled into its purest possible form. i want to go back in time and stare at myself at the computer doing this and screw up my eyes and ball up my fists and SCREAM and punch myself in the heart so hard i die
i honestly thought it was funny at the time, god help me. i even deleted them quietly after some months but apparently too late for dos' brutal archiving ways
and that is all i have to say and will ever have to say on the topic, though i know it won't be for anyone else
sort of why i haven't been hanging around too much lately

That's refreshingly candid of you!
Since madtom quickly defused the tension, I think I'll tell you all something embarassing that happened to ME! I often use the bathroom at a nearby quick stop because the one in my apartment was made in 1922 or something and is fairly annoying.
So the other day, the clerk said "excuse me ma'am" as I was leaving and told me I had to start buying stuff or find another place to use the bathroom because it was for paying customers only. I thanked him for telling me and I told him that I respected his opinions, which is a fairly generic thing to say but didn't really make sense in the situation.
So now I'll have to walk another block and use the bathroom at the pizza hut or something...
Several weeks ago another clerk made a face at me for using the men's bathroom, and I said "what?" and she said "That's the men's bathroom" and I said "I know, the women's room was messy. Why do you even bother gender-segregating single occupancy restrooms? Are you worried a transexual will see themelves peeing?" She pretended I wasn't there and went back to stocking shelves, so I guess I won the argument.
Also, more on topic, I also once drew ZZT porn! In my first released game, if you turn the game speed all the way up on the title screen and wait a while, a cyan girl in a blue thong and devo hat appears.
The sad thing is that I'm probably no longer capable of going to the effort of drawing something in ZZT. THE LIFE HAS DRAINED OUT OF ME AND MY SOUL IS DEAD. Actually, I think the ritalin is helping. Now I can make horrible mistakes again!

It's okay MadTom
the old Adventure of Sam games would probably be on z2 by now if it weren't for the "has to use STK to be on z2" policy
and they're still on my website because I must be dumb or something
Edit: oh shit is it embarassing confession story time
Well like Flimsy, I kind of use generic polite replies in hilariously inappropriate situations. "Thanks, you too" when being wished happy birthday, for example!
There was also this time when we were on vacation and had a hotel and I was tired so I went to bed first. There was this weird thing on the door I messed with, not knowing what it was, and then I was like "okay, that was fun I guess, time to sleep now!"
I wake up to the sound of a dull -thud- and suddenly notice my uncle is in the room. No clue how he got there, but he quickly runs toward the door and opens it, and my parents come inside, and boy oh boy are they pissed at me.
Turns out I accidentally activated that super "door will not open for any reason, ever" lock on the door, and my uncle had to literally jump from his balcony to ours (we had adjacent second-story rooms) to get in and let my parents in. They were understandably upset because of what could have happened to the poor guy if he hadn't made the jump.
I was like
for a solid month and I still feel kind of bad about it to this day!
It's not the most embarassing thing to ever happen to me (more like just doing something dumb and getting in trouble and feeling bad,) but it's kind of the only story I have that's G-rated. :(

I know what madtom means about the punching yourself in the heart thing too! Although generally my instinctual reaction is to kill the witnesses, whoever they were. Sometimes when I think back to some awkward situation I'll absentmindedly note aloud my intention to "murder you" or "kill them all", which causes a fair number of awkward situations itself.
Once I was eating dinner with a bunch of famous webcomics people and james kochalka asked me if I'd read his book "monkey vs. robot". I said "Yeah. Well, I read it in the bookstore and then put it back on the shelf."
The room went completely silent.
Scott McCloud stood up at the head of the table and pointed at the door, yelling "GEEEEEEEEET OUUUUUUUUUUT!!!11111"
that's why I don't write webcomics anymore

don't be embarrassed by them madtom. I think they're funny. Maybe if some of us knew you in real life than you'd have reason to want to destroy them. Still, since being zzt related they get my thumbs up.
also flimsy: Scott McCloud sucks. A shame you didn't get to "kill them all" right then.

MadTom, this is the ZZT community. People alway have and always will do dumb stuff. There is no need to be ashamed of what happened a couple of years ago. Everybody does this stuff. Take a look at Stak: he has risen from the deepest, darkest depths of idiocy to the superstar he is now. And he was GameMstr1.
Cheer up. All is not lost.
