So the NRS version of our community has been around for over 6 years now -- and it's a been a crazy ride.
I know that I'd have missed out on so many neat experiences, and so many cool people, and a ton of memorable moments if I hadn't found you guys. So I wanted to say "thank you", but more specifically: I wanted to start a thread where we can say thank you to the people who've done cool things here over the years.
It could be something with personal meaning for you; or just something you saw someone else do that had a lasting effect. But just something you're thankful for having experienced along our winding road
Who are you thankful for?
---------------
So I'll start:
Thank you CD Jr. and Tyrant for showcasing an absolutely enthralling Jax back in 2011/2012.. That was the first time I'd ever felt such a magnetic pull for such a character.
On a more personal level:
Thank you Hector Sanchez, Derek Kirtzic and Brian LeBaron for being super cool to me at PAX 2013, letting me hang with you guys and do the broadcast in the Twitch booth before Injustice launched. That was awesome and I'll never forget it.
(Also side thank you's to Arturo Sanchez and NerdJosh for being cool and sharing so much info).
Thank you Soonk for playing casuals wth me (and being salty the entire time) ages ago when I was beyond super-free in MK9 and didn't have footsies, staggers, or anything resembling an actual fighting game meta
Thank you @STORMS for having faith in me a really long time ago. It's been a blast being part of the TYM family and having a chance to give something back. Also, thanks for having the fire to keep TYM going for everybody, even when it cost you a bunch.
Thank you @SonicFox5000 for that hilarious interview when you were 15.
@Pig Of The Hut it probably goes without saying, but it's been a blast trading jokes, stories, and all kinds of fun together. Yoooooooooo.
Thank you @Tom Brady for being a friend, and calling me up to complain about Sub Zero at 11-o'clock at night for 3 years in a row.
Thanks to @16 Bit, @cR WoundCowboy, Ducky and the whole crew for being a great hang. So many memorable calls, discussions and silliness over the last few years.. Probably stuff we'll still look back on years later and laugh (the snoring, the promos, the downplaying..). Hippo, Smarr, Ken (my brother from another mother) and Revolver you too. Also, buff Jax. And find The Mole.
Thanks to Whiteboi and @EMPEROR_THEO for generally being awesome buds over these last couple years, and also for making Defend the North such a great experience. Enjoyed hanging through the weekend and watching you both make Top 8 together. Also Dragon, Sonic, Hayatei, Soup, and the rest of the Cheesecake Factory crew.
And to TYM's users, as a whole and the rest of the community -- thank you guys for being around, and contributing your threads, opinions, humor, tech, and everything else over the years. This is the first fighting game community I've ever joined, and I was hooked. I love you all. Except Twe-- nah Tweedy, I love you too
