:) Hey Everyone!!! I'm back!

[Intensity]

Time for my annual checkup!

:)

How is everyone?  I miss being on these forums- I haven't come around here in ages... and I think I'll load up my old version of freedom force at my home pc just for kicks so I can play as my superhero version of myself again(as well as my favorite X-Character Jubilee and friends Figurefan and Water Wizard.)

I've been EXTREMELY busy with real life- hence me not coming around in about at least a year and a half.
I opened up my very own martial arts school with my mother-  www.newedgemartialarts.com
Its going great.  I love teaching and it is so much fun- plus I get to hit things on a daily basis.  :D heehee

I'm going to South Korea as well for two weeks May 17-31st... for martial arts training and tourism.  I'm studying the Korean language... Hangunmal Haseyo.  I'm also going to test this September for my 4th Degree Black Belt in both Tang Soo Do and Tae Kwon Do... I'll be Master Kevin then!

other than the martial arts, I've had some rough ups and downs happen in my life- but I'm still kicking and smiling on a daily basis.

I'd love to hear how my friends have been doing on these forums, as I have missed all of you.
any new skins or fx or meshes or mods that include my intensity character that I should know about?

much love-
Kevin

hey Kev. You really need to make these checkups more often. We miss you around here.
I've been working on a massive project of my own: taking what started as a homebrew game and make it into publishable material. But as far as awesomeness, you've got me beat.

[Intensity]

that sounds awesome about the game you are making, Sword... and thanks for the welcome!

also-  does anyone have any old skins of mine(Intensity...) or meshes/Avatars/pics/what-not...?

tonight I'll be busy loading up freedom force into my pc.
:)

how long did it take u to get a black belt?

[style]

Hey Intensity!!! You coming back to the forum is ...um... well, Intense!!! :thumbup:

[Intensity]

I'm gonna say it took me about seven years to get my first degree black belt... it was a fun process :)

and thanks Style  :cool:

Also!  I am so happy!  I just got freedom force back on my pc... and I had a backup cd full of tons of my old files and characters...

I've got all of the X-Men... my Avatar, a lot of my old fx and some that I never released, as well as rare character meshes like Padme and Luke Skywalker from Star Wars.  :D  So much fun rebuilding everything.
Also, I actually realized I have a working paint program-  I just added a blue light glow aura to my avatar's character, to emphasize Intensity's light powers. 

I just might get back into gear and fix up a couple skins and possible fx- who knows.

Dude!!

*gives ye a hug*

Sorry, I've been doing that lately. :)

But welcome back! Enjoy your stay, as always. :)

Hiya Kev - great to hear the school worked out.  Nice website! :)

As for me, I got totally hooked on the City of Heroes game a couple years ago and spend all my time there now.  Still stop by here every day though, I loves me some FR. :wub:

[Intensity]

Mike!!!  I've been thinking about you just about everytime I stop by fxforce... I'm glad you are doing well- but Mike... City of Heroes? :doh:  Just kiddin :)

[GhostMachine]

Welcome back, Int! Glad to hear the martial arts school is doing well.  :thumbup:

[Spring Heeled Jack]

Welcome back, Intensity! I'm making my annual check-up too. :)

You need an awesome new avatar to match the awesome new developments in your life. But don't look at me--I haven't skinned in three years!

[The Phantom Eyebrow]

Welcome back Intensity!  I knew you were good but, wow, a FOURTH degree black belt!?  Totally kickass...

[Rick Battlemage]

Heya Intensity  :D

*holds out both hands*

Okay choose, Dutch Gouda cheese or these ... 'cookies'  ;)


Welcome back  ^_^

[Intensity]

Hey SHJ!!!  Nice to hear from ya-  its good to see others coming around for annual checkups as well :D

and Phantom- yeah I'm almost 4th Dan... but I'm pretty sure you have me beat on some cool factors when it comes to your hobbies.

Rick- hand over the cookies!  :D

[Glitch Girl]

Welcome back Intensity, glad to hear the school is still up and running.  How's it feel to mold young minds?

[Intensity]

:)  its very rewarding-  I like molding minds in a good, positive way.
Happy Birthday!

[Sevenforce]

Can you still kick that high?  :o

Nice to hear the schools still alive and kicking *groan* ;)

[Intensity]

:) 
Hey Sevenforce-
yeah, I can just about kick that high still... although I teach everyday, I still can do the splits and am actually getting better at my own skills... as opposed to staying stagnant at them.

Also...
I'm ticked off.  I downloaded ffedit, and when I got to the campaign tab, it erased all of my campaign missions- so now I have a partially blank freedom force game that runs slow- and I'm gonna have to reinstall it presumably, which stinks.

Lastly-
my character Intensity has a couple of allies/partners/sidekicks-  my friend Brad and I started making a comic a couple years ago, but we ran out of free time to do it. 
I will introduce/re-introduce Intensity's allies in a few days.

They are-
Sheeld- with the ability to create mental 'ruby' shields around herself and her allies... as well as create 'ruby' prisons around her enemies and form shields on her hands to use as offensive weapons.
Springboard- has the amazing ability to both speed herself up for a limited time, in order to dodge incoming attacks.  She is also a highly trained gymnast, hence her name 'Springboard.'
Fallout- a grungy antihero.  Fallout(Brad's character,) is a powerhouse who emits green radiation from his body.

I actually have some Sheeld fx at fxforce if you guys wanna check them out.

Peace,
Kev

Nice to see you back... again...

Really cool news to hear your school's going well. Hope none of the kids are beating you up too hard...

The moment you're fighting robots, give a call.

[Intensity]

thanks Reep!

and seriously... I could have used you about a few weeks ago-  my school was being overrun by robots, and my students and I had a time fending them off of the school premises... I stubbed my toe in the process.  :(
