    Hiatus is a good way to put it :) Maybe now that you're not writing so many reviews you'll have some extra money laying around :p

    Whoa dude, just saw your sig. Can you say..blatantly obnoxious? Good God you're advertising like no other! Annoying.

    I think he's allowed to link stuff in his sig but you're right, that thing is almost as intrusive as a banner ad.

    Yea links in sigs are allowed, but seriously? I'm tempted to pm arn or Hodapp, because honestly, its so over-the-top, its unnecessary.

    Woah so I am the only one. Well wow... I didn't realise you guys respected him so much.

    And I bothered saying that here because I wanted to know if I was the only one. It's a thread, a forum, I'm allowed to discuss and say things like that.

    Dude, that's the point. I just started the site, and I wanted more viewers. I toned it down A LITTLE. Happy now?

    I don't care about this "sushi" thing u guys talkin about.

    Wudii dudes link, I'm not even gonna give the satisfaction of lookin at what u guys are referencing.

    I'm comfortably numb in my state of denial over BA.

    I experienced history: the iPhone and app store, and TA and BA were there as the creme of the crop, I relied on so much!

    Now, I'm gonna have to buy all the bikini girl games w/o knowing if they're worth it first....

    Like I said before, I didn't post a lot, but spent hours every day just reading posts (many of which were BA's).
    I meant absolutely no disrespect and am not comparing the substance of my posts to that of Big Albie. What I'm saying is that I spent an extremely large amount of time on Toucharcade and regret it a little. My grades were actually going down a bit and I found myself doing things last minute. I had no problem with this until I realized that most of what I was reading was a gigantic waste of my time. I'm not better than anyone here (considering all I really am is a clump of pixels on your screen) but am tired of the immaturity. I can't complain considering that target audience for any gaming forum is young, hardcore gamers. Sorry if I sound like an arrogant tool, but this is what I believe. And who are you to say that I can't be retired from an internet forum? Would you prefer the term "stop"? Ok. I am going to stop going on Toucharcade (but I'm not retired! :p).

    It takes immaturity from others for me to truly release some of the pent-up sarcasm anyway, so I can handle it as it is right now... much more though and I'll probably end up saying something that gets me put in time out, then I'll just give up.

    Hi,

    Maybe Big Albie's hiatus will be wakeup call for some members to conduct themselves a bit better.

    What I like about Big Albie is he always conducts himself as if this is part of the real world, not just some virtual battleground where you are allowed to spout off and pay no penalty for bad conduct.

    If more members conducted themselves the way Big Albie has, this site would be even better than it is.

    Nice to know his hiatus may not be permanent.

    Food for thought.

    Thank you BA for helping me out in deciding what/when to get apps that I needed. Your reviews were a very big reason I decided to become a toucharcade member. Thanks for all the contributions you made on here and I do wish you well in all your future endeavors.

    Big Albie,

    I never really knew you, but you wrote the most beautiful reviews. As a reviewer myself, you certainly have a way with words and a quickness in writing them down. Anyways, best of wishes and hope you enjoy your vacation away :). You will be missed.

    Turnaround)
    Every now and then
    I get a little bit lonely
    and you're never coming around
    (Turnaround)
    Every now and then
    I get a little bit tired
    of listening to the sound of my tears
    (Turnaround)
    Every now and then
    I get a little bit nervous
    that the best of all the years have gone by
    (Turnaround)
    Every now and then
    I get a little bit terrified
    and then I see the look in your eyes
    (Turnaround bright eyes)
    Every now and then I fall apart
    (Turnaround bright eyes)
    Every now and then I fall apart
    (Turnaround)
    Every now and then I get a little
    bit restless and i dream of something wild
    (Turnaround)
    Every now and then I get a little bit
    helpless and im lying like a child in your arms
    (Turnaround)
    Every now and then I get a little bit angry
    and I know I have to get out and cry
    (turnaround)
    Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
    but then I see the look in your eyes
    (Turn around bright eyes)
    Every now and then I fall apart
    (Turn around bright eyes)
    Every now and then I fall apart

    And I need you now tonight
    And I need you more than ever
    And if you'll only hold me tight
    We'll be holding on forever
    And we'll only be making it right
    Cause we'll never be wrong together
    We can take it to the end of the line
    Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
    I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
    We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
    I really need you tonight
    Forever's gonna start tonight
    Forever's gonna start tonight

    Once upon a time I was falling in love
    But now I'm only falling apart
    There's nothing I can do
    A total eclipse of the heart
    Once upon a time there was light in my life
    But now there's only love in the dark
    Nothing I can say
    A total eclipse of the heart
    (repeat 2x)

    Turnaround bright eyes
    Turnaround bright eyes
    Turnaround, every now and then I know
    you'll never be the boy you always you wanted to be
    Turnaround, every now and then I know
    you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
    Turnaround, every now and then I know
    there's no one in the universe as magical and wonderous as you
    Turnaround, every now and then I know
    there's nothing any better and there's nothing I just wouldn't do
    Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
    then I fall apart
    Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
    then I fall apart

    And I need you now tonight
    And I need you more than ever
    And if you'll only hold me tight
    We'll be holding on forever
    And we'll only be making it right
    Cause we'll never be wrong together
    We can take it to the end of the line
    Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
    I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
    We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
    I really need you tonight
    Forever's gonna start tonight
    Forever's gonna start tonight

    Once upon a time I was falling in love
    But now I'm only falling apart
    Nothing I can say
    Total eclipse of the heart
    Total eclipse of the heart
    Total eclipse of the heart

    Dude, it's not the same without your reviews. I had been checking the User Reviews forum lately looking for your newest one and thought that maybe you just had a long trip or something. Anyway, take as much time as you need, mate. From time to time, if ever you could write, even short thoughts, a sentence or two, on a game, we would surely be blessed. But nonetheless, whatever's best for you. I will continue to hope though that you'll be posting sometimes even if it's not as often as before. Even if a lot of us can't show it, there are lots of members grateful for every word you wrote.

    Later, mate.

    exactly the same reason I'm leaving.

    I can't handle the hardcoregamer types.

    And I can't handle the fact they made someone a mod who is an immature ass who harasses people for no reason.

    This forum is full of immature little shitheads, who wants to be a part of that, who wants to write reviews for a bunch of ingrates.
