So, some of you may recognize me, most of you might not, I dunno how this place has been since I last visited here on my account. You may recognize me as the guy who had that humungo-ginormous post-monster of a trade topic in the trading forum. Yep, that is I. I am Chaosmaster, and I have a story to tell you all of how I came back to this site this day, as well as a reward for those who read through it all...

This morning, wallowing in lieu of how I've been getting bored of all the games I've been playing recently (to which I remind you that I have no access online on my old laptop, so I'm basically only limited to going places I can remember on local-use computers), and I glance down to the lower ends of my stack to see games that I had once played in the past, ones that I had very much known I had enjoyed through my years of handheld gaming. Harvest Moon DS, Kirby Superstar Ultra, SUPER MARIO 64 DS... and then my eyes came upon this, inbetween it all: Phantasy star Zero. I looked at it for a moment, remembered what it was, what I've done, and what I could only IMAGINE I could do at this point. So, I popped the game into my DSiXL, for good ol' times' sake.
At this point, I figured I may as well use the character I'm most commonly known to use, and the dungeon I'm most versed in traversing: IceQueenRika, and the Dark Shrine. Things were going swell. In fact, I was having a blast, solo'ing it for fun and actually getting challenged a bit as I stumbled and fumbled through the battles, as I had been away from action RPG's for a good while (I've been mostly playing general RPG's like Devil Survivor Overclocked on my 3DS, as well as things like SM3DLand and Cave Story). It was great, kicking ass, and getting my ass kicked. While I didn't die, I was still having fun. Until it got me from behind, out of nowhere, without warning. I was stunned by what was in front of me:
...the Coco Hut Pizzeria.
I had remembered about it, and thought I'd never live to see it again after I left PSZ. I almost cried in just the joy I got to meet the pizza girl again. So I quickly decided to check what she had in stock, to see if I was indeed as lucky as I would have thought I would, having stumbled on the Pizzeria for the first time in forever, on the FIRST LEVEL I played that day, and lo, my eyes came to it: 4-slotted Pizza Boxes. The amount of awe I had on my face was mindblowing, as my brain threw me back in time to the beginning of this game's release, when I had been infamous for the widespread distribution of cheap 4-slotted Pizza Boxes for community use. My eyes started to leak without warning, and with great feeling of triumph, I purchased as many of the item as I could, and walked out, with a smile on my face no Mother Trinity could wipe off. I smeared Mother Trinity's circuitboard across the deserted landscape and Dark Falz became a smudge of blackness across my hopes that I quickly cleaned off. While I got nothing good from the level itself, the feeling of having so much thrown back at me from something so little that happened made me realize, sometimes the simplest things are the greatest.
And that's why, in memory of my love for this game, I'm planning on making a little comeback; a reuniting of me and my love for this game, if you will. And, if online will allow it here, I want to invite anyone else who stil has faith in this game to join me as well!
I will be able to be online with this starting tomorrow, and all throughout the weekend, upon this saturday of which I will be hosting a special little get-together of sorts in mark of Christmas Eve, since I cannot use the internet here on Christmas, haha... and, on that day, I will be donating my gently-used rares for ALL to enjoy! That's right! My stash is going to be GIVEN AWAY to any and all who join me on Saturday! I will be available starting around 12pm until 10pm PST (12noon, Pacific Standard Time), except for Christmas Eve, which I will only be available until 8pm, and any who wish to join me, simply state thy name and friend code for me, as well as a good time to meet up if you would like to pre-plan a meeting with me, and I will add you as quick as I can, and the party can begin from there!
I hope to see many faces, new and old, as I play through the days, as they could be my last, and I want to make the best of it
I WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY HOLIDAYS! :santacookie:

To join, post your FC, and a good time to meet. I'll be available between 12noon - 10pm PST, except on Saturday, which will end at 8pm PST. Happy Holidays.
