Title: I\'m still on the Top 20...
Post by: Darth Joyda on September 24, 2002, 02:04:25 AM
I thought to pay a respective visit to my oldest Online-home ;)



I noticed post-count can only be viewed via Profiles - which is a good thing, in my humble opinion. It greatly reduces the importance of the damned thing :)

So how are you, my old gang? I haven\'t bought a Playstation 2 -game in ages - the latest, and probably the last ever, was Final Fantasy X; which I\'m still trying to complete...

Well hi.. I\'m like you, haven\'t bought a game in ages. Last one was GTA3.. I don\'t ever know when I\'ll have money to spend for a game. :( Oh well, as life goes on.....

I\'m like that too, the last game I bought was Frontline and before that was GTA3.  I\'m just slowly removing myself from gaming in general.  Oh, and I\'m above you in the top 20. :p

*cracks knuckles*

Bozco, have you witnessed the postal rage of ol\' Joyda? ;)

Samwise, I still do :) You are one of the members that once inspired me. An idol, iconic figure, a statue in my shelf of online experiences :)

True, it has been a long while since I used to post frequently. I might have changed a bit, but deep inside, I am the familiar Darth you all know and, eh, hopefully love ;)

I will re-throne myself. Just wait!

Editation:

Oh, I still use my black beauty - but not as frequently as I used to. I bought a GameCube last summer, and I have been enjoying some of the benefits the company has to offer.

Welcome back.  I hope you\'re here for a while :)

As for me, I\'m not even top 40 material yet :(

Post by: Darth Joyda on September 25, 2002, 12:12:17 AM
Care about the ranking you should not. ;) To my own merit, I could say that you are looking at a member whom used to be on top three for a long time :)

I don\'t, unfortunately, have Animal Crossing - yet at least. I bought Resident Evil last week, and it has given me serious goosebumps ;) Truly an amazing experience...

And yes, I am here to stay - finally. This is a true promise.

SoulGrind, it is a pleasure to see the old master... ;)

Greets, Sublime :)

Life has been smiling lately. Exams have been quite easy, and even as I am a lazy studier, I have survived in high school. New hobbies include Tennis, which truly is *my* sport ( I am quite good at it, too ) and drawing; a skill which was long-forgotten.

Ahh, some other people besides me who play tennis.

Hmm, I\'d like to try it out. I think I could enjoy it.

So playing tennis and golf is on my to-do list. :D

i like tennis, though i suck at it, cos i used to play basketball alot, and have to flick your wrist when you shoot.. while tennis you have to keep it rigid ( you wrist)... so i kinda suck, though i could serve very good

Post by: Darth Joyda on September 25, 2002, 11:14:49 PM
Kopking, you are correct. When you serve, the most important factor - besides timing - is your wrist movement. You have to hit the ball high and hard.

Samwise, you have my recommendation(s) ;) Tennis is a very fun and rewarding sport once you get the hang of it. Took me a year, but then again, I\'m not *that* talented ;)

Bozco, how long have you hobbied the sport? Do you prefer doubles or singles ( tournament-wise )?

Welcome back DJ, while you may not remember me since I was an insignificant noob, I remember you and the info/advice you have given me in the past. Dont be a stranger!!

luckee, whether you believe it or not, I do remember you :) Agreed, I have been absent for a long time - but it doesn\'t mean that I would have completely alienated myself from the boards ;) Not much has changed since I left - the core of regular members is still pretty much the same. I love the new additions \'tho :)

I\'m 17 now and I\'ve played since I was 4.  Now I\'m on varsity for my high school.  Tennis is amazingly pretty big here too, we have 3 teams.  This year I have the potential to be #2 in the school but would rather play doubles.  Though I prefer singles because of my speed, it seems doubles is a more rewarding win and takes more teamwork and overall smarts.  And I\'ll make it farther in the state tournament which is a bonus.

You would beat me without any problems what-so-ever, me thinks ;)

Tennis is a pretty big sport here in Kokkola too, if compared to the level of activity elsewhere. Yet we only have one, single club and three teams ( divided into age-groups ).

Their are about 3 tennis clubs around my area and what I can say is that its overpriced.  I only take lessons in the winter, right before my season.  During the summer I would much rather go practice at a park with my coach or some other educated players.

During both summers and winters, I have two Tennis lessons per week. Last summer, which has - unfortunately - passed away, I played approximately 2-4 hours nearly every day. So I progressed and learnt more during three-month summer-period than the 8-9 month Winter-season.
