So... what're you up to?

It's been 6+ years since PSU first got started as a little old fansite. Over the years it developed into the premier Planetside website, complete with exclusives from the developers, AGN webcast interviews and news shows, and a #1 game community complete with Orlando meetup.

Now that PS2 is getting some hype and many of you are using the "Forgotten password" feature to dust off your old accounts, I'm wondering... what is everyone up to, these days? A lot can change in the years you've been gone from a community. How about everyone post a little update... tell us what you were doing back when PSU was huge and then what you're up to these days. These updates can be real life news or just what games you're into these days.

How YOU doin?

I was doing basically nothing. Now I'm trying to get a bachelors in computer science. Though I don't know if I shouldn't go more for hardware. I wish there were a degree that covered it all and was concentrated. Maybe I'll duel degree at some point.

I should say I will be working on a bachelors in CS if they accept me into a particular college. If not it's back to the associates.

Getting ready to graduate from the local community college in December with my associates, then transferring to Middle Tennessee State University to get my bachelors in Computer Information Systems.

As far as gaming goes: Ive been playing Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, and just reinstalled Battlefield 2.

I work for a lingerie company now. I do Parkour, which gets me side jobs doing stunt work in international commercials.

I go to many fashion shows, with hot models, and old, perverted men.

I transitioned to the civilian life. I now work for EA. When I'm not working on video game design, I'm playing in a band.

Retired from the military, finished my BS, working on my Masters and on staff at a church.

Still with the CDL, of course, and playing a little Company of Heroes, CoD:4, TF2, etc...

I was a kid in middle school back then. Now I am a slightly older, bearded kid in college. ...And Ive picked up my dad's habit of buying beat old cars. (Started driving in January and now I've got 3 cars...2 run...ish)

Well,

Let's see... It's been 9 months with my girlfriend now, having a great time with her. Finally got a new car, Lancer Ralliart '09...

Been getting back into shape ever since I've come out of school.... speaking of which I have finished my carpentry program.... but I care little for the actual job, so I'm going back to school. Algonquin college to be more precise. I'm going into Police foundations to get a job in the local police departement.

It's a 2 yr program... so I'll be 26 by the time I graduate. Can't wait really.

I'm building my firsthand economic experience portfolio for my political career. The 'I've been there and I know its hard. I'm not your bread and butter silver spoon candidate.' angle.

Seriously.

Graduated highschool a year ago, looking into Marines, live with grandparents since mom moved to Maine last year....sums up life...

Squeeky · 2009-10-01, 08:08 PM

Wow, a lot has changed since the days I spent frequenting this forum as a snot nose punk.

I graduated HS and started a job as an apprentice at a pool service company. In the past 2 years, I've since started my own business which I own and operate independently. I service, repair, and install swimming pools and equipment in the San Diego area. To date, I have over 100+ commercial and residential accounts.

I don't really do computer games anymore, unfortunately. I don't really have the time for it. When I do have time, I like to log on to Fulltilt and play some NL Hold-Em.

My life revolves around one thing though, motorcycles. My pride and joy is a 2007 Ninja 650R which I modded to oblivion, and have since sold after 30,000 miles in a year. I am saving for a brand new CBR600RR which I plan to turn into a strictly track bike, with the ultimate goal of club racing at the novice level with WSMC.

Good to hear updates from everyone, a lot changes in 5 years.

I wonder if I am still banned on the {BOHICA} Forum.

Squeeks!

Long time no see man I am glad to see that you have carved out a nice life for yourself. Even if you don't game you are still a very welcome old school (Original Gangsta) thug on these forums.

I still remember the video you posted catching your brother.. almost fell out of my chair on that one.

I almost posted "I wonder what Squeeky is up to".

Funny shit.

I have no idea if you're still banned,the forums have gone down more than Sparky's mom in the past couple of years.

If I recall correctly, it was like a 36 year ban.
