Introduce Yourself!

[Commode]

How's Reno these days anyway?  My Grandmother lived there in the 90s and early 2000s, up off Virginia St. past McCarran, near the old Bonanza casino(does that still exist?), and we used to go there every year for Hot August Nights, but I haven't been there since 2005.  Even when we were there then we could see that many things were starting to change, and a friend I keep in contact with back in Boise says it's gotten worse, and that some of the casinos have closed.  He named The Silver Legacy and Fitzgerald's specifically.

It's OK. The job situation really sucks here, though. I guess you could say this in regards to just about anywhere in the US right now, but considering Nevada leads the nation in unemployment, I think we're kind of a "special case". I'm having a hard time finding steady work around here myself, as it is. I make money doing part-time stuff, but it certainly isn't ideal, to be sure.

The Bonanza still exists, and it's still open. I actually had dinner there not all that long ago (about two weeks, give or take). Silver Legacy is also still open. I'm not sure how he got the idea that one closed, given that it is the biggest casino we have here, and tends to get most of the big name "acts" when it comes to music and/or stand-up comedy. He must have mistaken it for the numerous other downtown casinos that have shuttered within the last 3-4 years (Virginian, Golden Phoenix, etc.). He is right about Fitzgerald's, but from what I hear, they're actually supposed to be re-opening it as a non-gaming hotel later this summer.

All in all, it's OK, but not great. It was really starting to grow for a while (the new Legends mall in Sparks that opened in 2008 is pretty cool), but things have obviously slowed down for the worse. I'm sure it'll get better in due time. They brought in a minor-league baseball team two years ago, and they're supposed to be committed to revitalizing downtown, so... we'll see. Just need to get the job situation turned around, and things will be fine.

Unfortunately, talonmalon333 has been missing for quite some time, and you just can't get the full AR experience without seeing him argue with E-K and gunswordfist.

Well I just started another argument with EK so that's good enough. talon is definitely better than ensatsu-ken though.

Is it because he would always royally suck your cock? In that case, sorry that I'm not your bitch, but unlike you I'm not a complete pussy. Somehow I feel you're the type of weak fuck who would easily flinch of someone so much as lifted a finger in front of you.

Hey, I'm Kiddington. I post over at Toonzone, and stuff.

...kay, that's it. NOW MAKE WITH THE WELCOMING.

Hey there Kiddington, and it's a pleasure to see you here at AR.
I'm Neomysterion (or Hasee of Doom back at TZ), AR's original resident Neopets maniac who's seen at Jellyneo and The Daily Neopets these days.

Welcome one and welcome all to our little slice of... what's the opposite of paradise?

Hell? Oblivion? GC?

[Foggle]

Is GC even still active?

[Dr. Insomniac]

Is GC even still active?

Been gone for quite a while.

New Pork City, obviously.

Been gone for quite a while.

Yep. The domain owner thought that it was a waste of bandwidth and money, so he dropped in back in 2009. At that point, it was only Kuwa and Josh talking to themselves, so it was a mercy kill.

Kuwa now has his own blog where he can vent to no one about how FF XIII is amazing, and Josh is back at tz full time.

Welcome aboard, Kiddington.
That's cool you're in Reno; I visit there often to see my in-laws. Last visit, we discovered Caldera's.

Fell right into my trap. Everyone knows not to start shit in the intro thread so why don't you be quiet like a good boy.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Right, that's precisely why you just started shit by acting like the dumb-ass that you are like you usually do. You really are a pro at making yourself look like a moron.

[Katie Holt]

Hey guys.

For some reason I never actually re-registered here after the board moved. I have decided to fix that.
