Hi. Gambit here. I also go by MastaGambit on Youtube, Soundcloud, Discord, Steam, and other places. 26 years old. Just tryna make the best of it out here on this bitch of an earth. You can view my profile to see what my interests are. I have a deep love and appreciation for game music. A few "oldbies" here (as they're apparently referred to lol) may recognize me from the VGMusic Discord, etc. I won't name 'em here, but shoutouts if you know of me and are reading this!
I've been "aware" of the existence of Sonic Robo Blast for a long time, but I personally never really cared about it like everyone else here. No offense, but I always kinda just saw it as A) a Doom mod, and B) this uncannily neat project... for kids. Never really got the appeal, personally. Always thought the style was incredibly stale, and I always rolled my eyes seeing the name "Robo Blast" in the title. But that was of course because I never knew the history behind it. It wasn't until this year that I learned about all this stuff from some friends of mine.
So, back around November last year, I ended up reconnecting with several old friends of mine whom I met almost 6 years ago... as well as another friend of mine whom i've known for around 9 years, after having left off on a particularly unsavory point a few yrs ago. After clearing everything up and getting to know them again, they introduced me to Kart. Y'know, SRB2 Kart. This quickly eventually led to introducing me to SRB2 v2.2, after it was released. I had already known that that the latter friend had been into SRB2 for a long time (I wanna say as early as 1.09? could be wrong), as I remember him talking about it often every now and then. But I had no idea how many others among my friends were into it as well. Or that one of them had been playing it since they were 3 years old lol. We've often ended up netplaying 2.2 co-op & Kart while shouting on Discord every other weekend. I've ended up learning a LOT about SRB2's history from some of them, just by sheer word of mouth. They even know a few devs here in some capacity. It's caused me to start pouring over the Wiki to absorb more about it, as well as these here forums. Said friend of 9 yrs also ended up teaching me some of the ropes of Zone Builder & Slade a couple months back. But i've since become a little rusty on that, and will need to return to the test map I made with him to try to reteach myself everything (especially slopes and FoF'ing... >_>). Because believe it or not, I actually have some pretty demanding ideas in store that I wish to capitalize on.
So, yeah. That's me. Not sure what else to say now. If I had anything else I wanted to say, I must've forgotten it by now, as i've had this window open all day today, just adding to it as I go about my day. A total newb who, in the process of picking up some stray pieces of my life, has garnered a tiny enough bit of interest in this knick of the woods to now decide to make an account. Though it appears I already made an account last month? Hmm, must've already intended to do this earlier and then forgot about it or something. lol
and toys from my childhood then stumbled upon this board. I'm not a die hard fan or expert but I hope that's okay...
