Title: Hello again, chaps.
Post by: Shirdel on May 03, 2013, 07:01 PM

God damn, has it been a while. Some of you may know me. Most of you probably hate me, and I can understand why. But here I am, back after about four years, and I've got a lot I want to say.

Well, first off, let me please profusely apologise about my entire behaviour back then. I'll be the first to admit I was utterly, completely stupid, whiny, nonsensical and down-right egotistical. I thought I was 'the man', the big guy who everybody knew and everybody loved. Yeah, looking back, I'm surprised most of you put up with me. I wouldn't put up with me back then.
All those years ago, I was just a kid, no older than eleven, believe it or not. Now I'm fifteen, almost sixteen, and I've learnt a lot about life in general, as well as respect, and I've got a lot more self-consciousness in regards to what I say and do now. I understand how much of an utter prick I was, and I think I've got over most of it now.

I don't want to blow my own trumpet, but I will say with all certainty that I am nothing like I was before.
The only thing that I'm worse at now than before is Worms itself. I am so damn rusty, you have no idea. I'm also completely ignorant to all of the changes and new features that the great Deadcode and CyberShadow have added, tweaked and introduced over the last few years, so if anyone who can fill me in on what I've missed, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Since I've left Worms, I've gone over to Xbox LIVE for a few years, learnt some stuff, and now I've got two somewhat-successful YouTube channels, Shirdel7221 (http://www.youtube.com/user/Shirdel7221) and NamcoMusicCenter (http://www.youtube.com/user/NamcoMusicCenter), feel free to check out those if you like.
So, hopefully, I can gain some respect from you guys for the first time, and have some good games.

tl;dr I played Worms, I f@#!ed up, I left for four years, I learnt some shit, I'm back, I'm rustier than HRM's vagina.

I should be here on and off. Not all of the time, but I'll be around periodically.

Welcome back, Shirdel :)
I was reading the first paragraph, thinking "wasn't he 10 or 11 or something at the time? Why is he apologising?" and then I read the next paragraph :D

Nice to see that you came a long way, judging only by what you just wrote. Don't blame yourself, you were just a child back then.

Everyone's welcome here, so are you and I'd be more than happy to catch you for some games. :)

Shirdel!

So glad I noticed this thread albeit a bit late, and really good to hear from you.
I just wanted to say, I don't think you've got anything to apologise for.
You were fun to play with and smarter as an 11yo than a lot of the people who call themselves adults around here.
I have to say sorry for teasing you back in the days of TuT. Hopefully we can have a game soon.
