Hey! It's been... a while.
The last time I was here formally was a brief stint in the fall of 2012, and that in itself was a comeback more than three years in the making, as I was originally active on the old Atari forums under the name AtomiCart.
In the last four months, after my passions had shifted to things like pop stars and blogging for about five years proper, my excitement and obsession with roller coasters was accidentally reignited, and renewed access to RCT3 in as many years helped keep it alive (unlike the 2012 occurrence, short-lived as it was). I've been playing the stock game with both expansions since November, working my way through every scenario in the original and Wild! expansions, with only the last two Soaked! parks remaining. But I dreamed of the CS and CTRs that had flourished here in my absence, and I felt I needed to pay a return visit.
I'm overjoyed at the prospect of Theme Park Studio looming much closer than the horizon now as well, and I'm eager to see how the community might (or might not) be receptive to this new tool, especially in the ways it provides things that, no matter how serious the modification, RCT3 never could.
Anyway that's all! I'm a college student now so I may not have the idle time to spend here as I once did, but I'm not going to let that stop me from dropping by frequently.
But good to see you all, old and new faces alike!
