The Hang: It's Officially Out

[Gypsy]

No, unfortunately I don't have health insurance. So I have to go to a community health clinic. Since I haven't been there in several years I'm considered a new patient. So they put my appt out for two weeks. I tried a couple other places, but it's pretty much the same shit. They put a note in my appointment record though so if anyone cancels their appt they'll call me and get me in earlier. I just want to start feeling better. It's affecting my sleep, my mood, and my performance at work. It's also gotten me terribly depressed the past couple weeks. I'm trying to stay positive, but it's hard.

Yeah I know how that goes. Had to try clinics when I had that kidney infection that I originally thought was a pinched nerve. I think I posted about that when it happened. Good luck.

I don't really remember you posting about that. How long ago was that? Thanks for the good luck man, I could use it.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I hope I can get whatever is wrong with me diagnosed and start getting some treatment for it.

The Phantasy Star games are probably my favorite RPG series of all time. Well the original four games anyway. Not that I disliked PSO or anything. It just wasn't the same at all. Rieko Kodama didn't even have anything to do with any of the ones after PS4. Besides the remakes of 1 and 2 for the PS2. Anyway, I'm starting to get a decent collection of Phantasy Star games now. My goal is to have a complete collection of the US and Japanese releases.

Dunno much about the series, I only have a vague memory of the first one for Sega Master...something about the 'Argol System' or whatnot...

You will appreciate this, man: Just stumbled-on 'Do the Donkey Kong' on YouTube...LOL...Corny as all hell, but MAN did they BLAST this in the arcades back in the day, heh....dunno if you recall the days when arcades were dank, dark, and filled with smoke.
(Never paid much attention to the lyrics, only the 'driving' chorus and the in-game sounds, but apparently the lyrics are a sort of 'walkthrough' for the first game...odd and neat.)

BTW; thats a GREAT creature you have at the bottom there.

Beelze's avi and sig remind me that Phantasy Star 4 needs it's battery replaced.
Next project I guess, after PS2.

Yeah, the Algol star system. Which is an actual real star system. Also named "The Demon Star" in ancient times. It's a binary system where the two stars are so close that they actually transfer matter between the two of them. There is evidence though of at least 4 other companion star possibly making it a sextuple star system

Sorry, I think I'm too young to remember that. There really weren't a whole lot of arcades in my town back in the day though. The one's I remember going to weren't the typical dark smoke-filled variety. Sadly I missed out on that bygone era.

His name is Dark Force, one of the main evils in the Phantasy Star series. Being able to break through and causing havoc to the Algol star system every 1000 years.

You'd like how much my Phantasy Star collection has grown in the past month or so.

Don't know if you're planning on doing if yourself. but it shouldn't be too hard. If you want to you can send it to me and I can do it for you though. Only shipping and handling would be required.

Hope you'll be well soon Beelze.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it.

Damn, you are VERY into this series, eh? Are you also into the comics/figures/merch, or? I see things from time to time...

As for the arcades, yeah, makes me sad....At some point around the late 80s/early 90s, they went from the dungeon-like atmosphere I was used to to places that had the 'ambiance' of the friggin Disney Store...places like 'Aladdin's Castle' and MALL arcades...blechhhh...

Arcades have been dead so long in this area. I vaguely remember going to a couple when I was a lot younger. Both have been oob for awhile now.
