I aint doin so hot. Infact I'm doin pretty bad. Skip this next paragraph if you don't care why.

So I left school in 2007. I was doin fine, goin down the pub every week, had plenty of mates, it was all a laugh. Since then my social life's bin on the decline- I gradually stopped gettin invited out on weekends, less parties, less laughs. That happens to everyone though doesnit? That's what happens as you leave school. I'd go out with these college guys, but they're all 19 n 20; me bein 17 I'd never get in to the places they go. So I signed up to Facebook last week. I found out that all those guys are still together, gettin pissed an havin laughs n shit, except nobody invities me anymore. They all just dropped me off and carried on. I realised that about 3 people had an 18th party in the passed couple months and I didn't know anything about it. I tried to get hold o some people for new years but everyone was busy. Who'd come to my birthday when I'm 18? Now there's plans for a big holiday for 20+ people an I'm not one of em. It's all I can think about now all the time. I can't sleep. I went to a different College than everyone else and it ended up being the worst decision ever. I've got nobody; I keep waiting for someone to ring me or message me or something but there isn't anyone. I'm completely alone, and I'm scared that it'll be this way for the rest of my life. I don't want to live like this but I don't know what to do. The real kick in the arse is that I've got a shedload of money in the bank because I've got noone to spend it on.

So anyway, Duck Sim got front page. That was late. I laughed at it bein a vignette art game cos that's totally the point. It's score plumetted from 3.60 to 2.40 in like an hour lol
I have like 20 PMs about this game.

Yo check this tech demo. Just run to the right. I had this Michal Jackson Moonwalker idea where you save people from buildings that're like on fire n shit. It'll never get made, like all these other demos I throw out every week. I'll keep it on the drive though.

Yes I'm still makin YeahBabyGoYeah. The latest level's pretty huge. You all like Gunstar Heroes right? Jus checkin

Tank awards comin up. I'm pretty sure I won't get nominated. Don't know if I can talk about it or not, but I'm pretty sure.

I would've had more to say but some shit got broke. I've bin puttin an animation showreel together- Mostly 3D- but FOR NO REASON my 3DSMAX just won't open and I don't know why, so I can't render anything. It's important aswell, cos I wanted to send it off for an apprenticeship by the 30th o January. I don't know if I'll make that now.
I don't want an apprenticeship anyway, I'm goin to Uni instead so I can get some new mates.
Still wanted to give it a shot though.

OH- and PLAY THIS. This guy's like my favourite game author right now. He's made this new game that's like Zelda, but an action platformer like YeahBabyGoYeah. It's called Legend of Princess. Fucking perfect boss fights. It's funny how some people make games with Flash and some with Game Maker, but we don't know anything about each other. There's huge communities for GameMaker, it's like Newgrounds in fuckin biazzaro world.
Except their awards are way bigger than ours :(

Meh, you will get through it man. I got through that kind of stuff, and I am probably a lot less social then you.

youre still in school though, I got nothin

adapting to it doesnt fix anything

by the sound of your story, it sounds like you're leaning towards the suicide train. thats not good. i gots an idea, you should move to america and start a new life. then you'll be happy again with new friends and awesome opportunities. WOO!!

lmao jk

related story: I went back to playing GTA IV. It's still boring, how is that anyone's game of the year?

hahaha i know what you mean. its been collecting dust on top of my tv and crying itself to sleep every night for probably at least 2-3 months

similar happened to me. my friends got into grass and i didn't. i went off to college. pretty much everyone went to a different one. but the thing is, during winter breaks and summer breaks i only hang out with a couple people i've known for years cus of neighborhood and whatnot. i roomed with a couple people from my high school, they turned out to be jerks but i've joined clubs and made a lot of friends. just wait. there will be someone that doesn't take you for granted. :)

sounds like it worked out. Thinkin about it, I've bin crazy-lucky to avoid drugs for this long

I guess the question is, did they stop inviting you because they didn't want to hang out with you, or did you just drift apart because you went to a different school? If you are waiting for them to invite you but you don't take the first step to reach out, they might assume you are blowing THEM off... So maybe you just need to take that first step to re-engage. There are plenty of high school friends that I don't see anymore that I assume have moved onto their own stuff - I wouldn't know if they were quietly waiting for me to contact them. I probably don't understand the whole situation though.

Anyway the game demo with carrying the people is fun! Maybe you could have some puzzle concept where like you are saving people, but sometimes you have to sacrifice some people for the greater good of saving even more people. Like you gotta throw someone under a closing door to stop it, or into some gears to jam them before a giant machine crushes a bunch more people, or something I dunno just tossing ideas around.

I think it's both reasons.
It's so shit askinf if there's anythin goin on. If they say no, you don't know wether it's true or not. If they say yes, Id probably just end up as the guy who came even though noone invited him. That's not great. I've definately got a fear of rejection or somethin here.

Oh that'd definately be a puzzle game. Like carrying 10 people at once would ruin your jumping. So if the last guy was stuck upstairs you'd have to put everyone down, go get him, and come back. I could probably even have it so you can put em down, then jump on them to get to higher places. Throwing em definately works. It'd be kinda sad, but also kinda funny, to throw people into lava to make stepping stones.

I don't understand how a your duck simulator makes me laugh, but it does. It does.

cos its funny

Turn that frowny face upside down! which... would make a pretty awesome looking barbecue grill!

lol true

that game looks pretty sweet. though it looks like you're copying my ideas a bit there.

This joke is gonna lose steam eventually.

don't worry. you got us newgrounders to laugh and cry with.
that's right, stay at your computer day and night and pretend you have a life.

i'm so mean :'(

I think Duck Sim can be highly ranked alongside Butt Fight.
Both instant classics of the movie and game genre.

Meh, im in a pretty much never ending tale of despair and lonesome because of school leaverage (Word?) and the fact they were all real dick's anyway makes me feel NOT as bad but still pretty shitty that they're all still friends, so yeah, even though its better for me, i still feel bad for basically being dropped from the "Clique'".

Fuck, anyway, TEACH ME SUM STUF U SEXUAL PREFRENCE"""

Look dude, if you're gonna kill yourself at least finish YeahBabyGoYeah.

By the time that comes out, we'll ALL be dead

Well, good the good news is that you're on the voting panel for the game of the year!

yeah I know takin all bribes lol

Congratulations on making the gaming pannel!

You seriously did deserve it, the amount of quality of crunch down and cannon crotch effectively made them the best beat em up and shooter of the year, respectively.

awesome

Yeah I definately know what's that's like. I use to go to public school and had a LOT of friends. Some good ones too. But then I started getting home schooled. Imagine that? I never got invited ot anything from my friends and finding them o the internet seemed impossible. Now I have almost no friends left. I agree with Tom about them thinking you've blown them off (it's happen to me before). I hope you pull through man and I'm sure you'll make some new friends at this college. Idk. Anyway hope you pull through man.

It's a drag not having a social life at all. I suppose it's worse for you, since you actually used to do stuff... I've been a recluse for years :/

anyway i think that rescue man game is the greatest thing ever. If you're ever interested in working together again on something quick and fun, that'd be it :)

Yeah I'd have to think about levels n shit first. I'm allways busy doin bigger games.

I've got somethin quick and fun on the go right now though, I'll probably bring it out tomorrow or the day after.
Infact y'know what, here's a link:
http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/2 80109/1905_Might_Tower.php

It's like a cross between Meat Boy and Gravity Hook. I made most of it while I was bored in class.

you smell :)

true
