I've been bitten by the Shenmue bug......damn!

Postby DJ316 » Tue Jan 11, 2011 12:24 pm

Hi guys.

I used to be on these forums years upon years ago, when it started. After a very, very long hiatus from Shenmue, I'm now fully immersed in the world again. After being away for so long, and after playing many games of decent calibre, NOTHING compares to Shenmue.

I'm suprised how much this community has grown, there was a lull for a while, but it seems now, with the modding, and such, that the Shenmue commuinty has actually grown, it's amazing.

I'm considering getting myself a new (well, used) Dreamcast, just to replay the game. I've watched ScottishDucks "Lets Play...." on YouTube, which has made me want to play this game again, and again. The amount of new info floating around the net recently is awesome.

It's amazing how much the phrase "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" applies to my situation right now. I've fallen in love with the Shenmue series all over again. It's always been in the back of my mind, but I've always been afraid to dive back in, because we all know how addictive, and mind blowing Shenmue is. I just cant believe I've neglected it for so long.

Anyhoo, rant over, it's been so long since I've been on this forum, I don't even know where to start.

Bleh!

That ScottishDuck guy is a legend, I also watched him play through it around the time that I was trying to find Shenmue, as years before I had played it, and years after that day I suddenly remembered the game and luckily remembered the title so I decided to go on a little hunt, I came across ScottishDuck and man oh man, did it bring back a wave of memories from when I first played it.

Absolutely Kingston 2GB Flash drive, I know exactly what you're talking about. The funny thing is, I have Shenmue I/II, but my Dreamcast is broke.

But the Duck has helped relight the Shenmue torch for me. I should PM him on YouTube, and thank him.

The amount of things I forgot, and the wave of nostalgia I've had these past few weeks is cool.

Anyways......

I've been in the Dojo since.......wow, 01 I think? I'm fully aware of the "secret" asylum, my friend.

And you're very welcome, Kingston. Glad it didn't offend you.

That was deleted years ago.

We don't have a secret forum anymore. That was about 5-6 years ago.

A select forum now would be a pointless endeavour due to having only a handful of regular posters.
