First off, hello.
You all know me as the great Petethegoat; perhaps the single most influential person to have ever lived.

I've no doubt that hundreds, maybe thousands of you will have been deeply affected by my absence.
That dark, disquieting period is now, finally, at an end.
Rejoice! For I am back at last.

You may of course be wondering what could cause such an unexpected absence.
I once came here as a pilgrim, but I now return as a prophet.

During the time shortly after the release of the HIB2, this forum experienced great growth.
I had initially joined because the tight sense of community appealed to me.
I aspired to become one of these unique individuals I had before only observed.

The bundle created an enormous influx of new users, such I no longer felt secure as a mere participant.
I was just one of many, now.
The past as I recalled it became antediluvian, the flood of the new obscuring the old.
And in my own way, I was no longer relevant, I could no longer keep up with everything single post.

And it was such that I slipped away.
In the interim between then and now, I have achieved much, and inspired many.

I have conquered the great beast which is Blender.

I have finally reignited conversation with a lady friend of mine, who I have not spoken to for a longer time than I've been absent here.

My renown is near universal.

I haven't actually gotten round to fixing Steamwise yet.

Most importantly of all, I have realised that I must now return as a leader, not a follower.
And, as such, I'm back.

I guess I need to work on the leader bit. But yeah.
I'm back. Party.

Wait, you were gone?

Oh huzzah you're back!

edit:
stfu kultra you're just hanging in offtopic all day erry day you wouldn't know.

>_>
Yeah, I guess not. I seriously didn't know you were gone.
Wait, you were only gone like a week. Maybe two and a half at most.

The worship ratio in this thread is 1:2.
Not good enough! >:(

ALL HAIL OVERLORD PETE.




Best of luck with the lady friend of yours.

Du bist nicht hier gewesen?

Clearly I am in some kind of horrific parallel universe where not everyone reveres me as their eternal overlord.

But anyhow, what has been going down recently?

I heard that we have a DRL twitter and stuff.
And Abdul is a dev now? Seems like good times indeed.

Wait what.
Jesus christ, I need to look in the Mod Releases section more. I blame no new giant robot factions.

Oh hey Pete. How's it going?

Nice to have you back br- I mean ALL POWERFUL OVERLORD!

I released a mod, Pete.
And in one single voice, eternal and piercing, the people of the forums declared: "STFU NOOB"
But really, its nice to have you back, I was wondering why you were not posting anything.

Who? Well there's a bandwagon about so I might as well jump on it

EDIT: If ncb gets to beg so do I! Hey Pete I made a radical mod dude, check it out!

Sup Pete. *fistbamp*
