Play:

SSX3 (GC) - more of this, and progression-wise I'm most of the way
through peak two now. Very much sticking to the races and
collect-em-up so far, arguably doing rather more of the latter than I
really need to.

Want:

Nothing.

Bin:

Never quite knowing what to make of the DJ in SSX3. At times it feels
like an immersive addition to the game, and at other times you wish
the guy would zip it for two seconds ever. :-) Somehow though, I never
quite end up hitting the mute button.

The slightly scary realisation that I first played SSX3 so long ago
that it was actually before I started doing PWB posts. What.

is light reading.

I was trying to reflect on how and when I started posting on UGVM, on
the dodgy pretense of my employer at the time being UK-based on thus justifying my presence. I'm sure all that data is lost to the mists of
time and to poor backup discipline.

I am duly nerd sniped. This ~115MB zip seems to cover 1999 to 2012
(with some of 1998 and 2013 too), though it doesn't look 100%
complete:

The earliest obvious post of yours in there is from August 2004. Mine
was April 2002, but my first non-crosspost was July. And it looks like
we both started doing PWB posts in 2005.

On Astraweb at least (apparently based on the Omicron backbone which
various providers use), the retention on ugvm still seems to go right
back to mid-2003. So between the two, I suppose the internet has yet
to forget ugvm completely - even if it is arguably getting there. :-)
