I live... again!

[Klaus Kinski]

Home, sweet home....
After all these years (Has it really been years? Maybe. Felt like aeons to
me...) of isolation from the crazy sub-world that the Internet has evolved
into, I still go at first to this place of somwewhat pointless discussion
(Let's face it, none of them changed the world or important peoples minds.)
and unnecessary emotional rollercoasters (pure rage about people
disagreeing with the thesis that smoking is an constitutional right to
orgasmic waves of joy just because the jetpack will be in DNF). It's kinda
mind boggling, especially since ties to the people around here are, at
best, nothing but blurred memories of some dude who once visited. Strange.
Still, I can't resist. I feel like Marc Dutroux in a kindergarten.
Just FYI, I used to lurk here. Defender of the Duke. I had an opinion on
everything and I actually felt the need to tell everybody about it, no
matter if it was welcomed or not. I was (still am?) the kind of guy who
wrote insanely huge posts (oh the irony...) with thousands of quotes,
dissecting what the others said in their wrongness (at least IMO). Yes, if
anyone would remember that, it must be Drazula (Greetings from the bowl!).
You see, I've been lacking a proper internet connection since.... years.
For some time I was stuck with a dial up modem. Browsing the internet today
with a dial up modem is like being able to have an erection but no orgasm.
You just drop it after a while, it's just not worth the time. There's no
gratification. Activating HL2 over dial up makes the Jurassic period look
like a commercial break and loading VE3D becomes a task of literally hours.
It's not worth the effort.
Later I didn't even have that. Being a victim of my chosen field of work, I
dwell in places that are simply forgotten by the gods and therefore by
humanity (especially the people from the DSL providers). I turned into some
sort of nomad, traveling the dark corners of the earth (unlike Jack Walters
I did it even running), never being at home. Always "staying temporarily".
Too old to call the place my mother lives at "home" (a depressing idea,
really)
Someone told me once: "home is the place you can always go when there's
nowhere to go." I have places to go and things to do. But that place won't
be really home and no thing I do will change that.
You know, the internet can replace an amazing amount of things. Sex life
for some (Just try to find a transsexual, zoophile asian dwarf in Michigan.
That exists only online.), social life for others (Evercrack players, raise
your hand!). Maybe it can replace this magical thing Dorothy with the red
shoes likes more than anything else. Maybe home is somewhere online. Maybe
home is a place I can access wherever I am physically located. Maybe it's
this forum.
Maybe I don't care, maybe I shouldn't. I guess it's time to STFU and just
enjoy the limited time I have DSL for sure and watch what goes on here. It
might be interesting. Or not. Whatever, it will pass time. Probably in an
enjoyable way, whatever enjoyable might be.
Thank you for your patience and no, you can't have your time you wasted
reading this back.

Klaus! Welcome back... another old timer returns... :)

[Water12356]

Hello! Again. :p

[Kalki]

You're late KK. No DNF for you.

Oh alright (http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/showthread.php?t=29639).

[jimbob]

heh, long time no see.

you missed out on quite allot. like the revealing of DNF :p

[Klaus Kinski]

I miss out?
One day I went into a shop to buy one or two, well maybe it was even 12, DVDs and suddenly found a copy of a game in my hand that wasn't supposed to exist. The development was cancelled for, at least to me, unknown reason. I guess there were technical issues that resulted in halting production. For at least 6 or more years I had said game shelved under "Not Gonna Happen" in my memory. Suddenly I hold it in my hand. I was surprised, even a bit shocked.
That game was Prey.
Two months ago I found out that the Orange box is out. Yesterday I learned everything about Deus Ex 3 and rumors about Thief 4 (I'm madly in love with Deus Ex and Thief). This week I read for the first time what id software, Valve (I love Zombies!) and Epic are doing right now. I didn't know about CoD4 until it hit shelves.
I spent the entire last week with nothing but trying to catch up with the gaming world. I spent 3 years in the void.
I'm just glad they didn't finish DNF. I was actually genuinely afraid of that.

[thefly]

Heh, I saw you posted in the post thread. I was pretty shocked. Welcome back.

(they said...they said you were dead.)

DNF can't come out, what else would we do? ;)

[ShakeItBaby]

Confess criminal. You've really been in jail, haven't you? :)

[Mr.Fibbles]

I don't think I remember you. . .but welcome back to the land of the socially dead!!

[Klaus Kinski]

Jail? Being in jail is great, you have regular sex. I was in a place that wasn't great. And I had no sex.

[NutWrench]

Welcome back, Klaus!

[Hudson]

Hey man welcome back! o/\o

[Damien_Azreal]

Welcome back... I know your name. I remember it, not sure if you remember me though.

But anyway, welcome back. :)

[evanazzo]

Welcome back.
I may not know you but thats okay

How could I forget someone who loves Blood, one of the best FPSs of the nineties?

[hellchicken]

Klaus Kinski, I remember to have quite enjoyed reading your anatomical dissections of other peoples opinions. Sometimes it made my day and sometimes it made me fear arguing with you.

You missed nothing. And nothing missed you. Welcome home. :)

Shame we no longer have such debates on this forum. At least not like we used to.

[Yenji]

It has been years? Not months, but years? Wow, time flies doesn't it (well maybe not for you by your post).

Well welcome back and enjoy while you can.

[Micki!]

I remember you Klaus, especially the Freddy Krueger Avatar you used back then...
I don't know if you remember me though (i can't say i have something spicific for you to remember... Except that i like Aliens, alot...)

You forget badass Duke fanart :)

Anyway, welcome back! Where have you been anyways?

[Klaus Kinski]

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack chefs on fire off the shores of the baltic sea. I watched bratwurst glitter in the dark near the black forrest. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die. ;)

No seriously, I was just in remote, god-forgotten and isolated places to work like a Dungeon Keeper Imp for people who screwed me over like a 5 $ crack whore. Unfortunately I had no crack, so I was forced to endure everything at full consciousness.
Whatever you do, never work in a kitchen. The people there are twisted, perverted and slightly insane and that rubs off!

[Micki!]

Like a Dungeon Keeper Imp..? Did you get smacked at as well..?:o

[JobivanHiob]

I don't know if I know you but your Avatar makes you look intelligent! :)

Welcome back Klaus.

[Hudson]

Have you even been to these forums?! ;)

[Damien_Azreal]

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every f**king minute of it.

[Taril]

welcome back!!! glad to have you aboard again!

[Klaus Kinski]

No, nobody smacked me. Even when I begged them to spank me. I'm such a naughty boy. :D

And Hudson, this forum can't compare to that. Here, I don't live with the risk that some guy stick his tongue in my ear. Unless he's Freddy Kruger and catches me with my headphones on.

[KaiserSoze]

Nice to see you back Klaus!! :)

[Yenji]

Whatever you do, never work in a kitchen. The people there are twisted, perverted and slightly insane and that rubs off!

You staring in hells kitchen or something? Which character are you this season? :p

[Klaus Kinski]

Hell's kitchen? Some TV show?
I gave up watching TV. Too much crap. Unbelievable crap.
I can get my fix on DVD.

[Rider]

So then, why did you decide to travel around doing mediocre jobs? I mean, I can imagine the appeal something like that has... but to actually go and do it... what was your motivation?

[Klaus Kinski]

I love my line of work. It's that simple, it gives me satisfaction I couldn't get before (why does that sound as if I was a pervert?). Unfortunately the only way of getting the really well paid jobs is either getting a job that is dull, repetetive and generally unexciting or giving up my private life. Next, I'll try out the first option as the second is, as I learned the past years, to overpriced.
I've seen people going that route, living for nothing but work and they all turned out to be very unhappy or very insane. I'm talking about the kind of insanity where you can actually land in an Asylum. Happened to one of my bosses.

[Ramen4ever]

Ahh the pursuit of material wealth.. such a glorious yet ultimately meaningless adventure. ^_^
..I'll pass.

[Klaus Kinski]

Then you go on and pass. I'm 28 and never owned a car. I don't need to worry about planning a family since it isn't an option for me anyways, I can't afford it. I can only hope I find a 1 room appartment thats cheap enough or I'll be stuck, like the last 15 months, with nothing than a shitty little room which is as big as the one I lived in when I was 15.
I worked 60+ hour weeks in one of germanies best holiday hotels and earned less than what is considered the minimum wage. I am officially, by the standards of the german government, poor.
Go and have sex with your high horse.

[mysteryperfecta]

Welcome back. I assumed you were incarcerated or dead, or worse. And now, to find out that it was only the lack of a proper internet connection that led you to deprive us of your wisdom? Shame on you. Incarceration or death would have been too kind a retreat for such a selfish person. :mad: ;)

[Nessus]

Klaus don't you get tips in the hotel industry?

[Klaus Kinski]

Nope. I some Hotels you do but not in my last one. Greedy bastards, I hope they choke on their millions. :D

[ShakeItBaby]

Ah, the disparity of jobs in the food industry. Yet another reason why the vastly overrated lisping menace of Jamie Oliver needs to be eradicated from the planet.

[Kristian Joensen]

Welcome back to these forums Klaus. I hope you enjoy your stay.

[Ivan]

Welcome back KK, I knew you'd come back! Also, I think I have your Farewell thread saved somewhere for some reason.. I should try and dig it up. :))

[Mariamus]

Welcome back Klaus, Hope life treats you to a delicious DSL line for keeps, so you may yet again bestow your wisdom upon us.

[Waiter]

Welcome back, Klaus! And Happy Birthday!! \o_:cake:

"Many happy returns", as the english say, gets a double meaning in your case. ;)

Didn't you get a job up on the baltic sea coast somewhere last time I spoke to you?

I'm 28 and never owned a car.

I'm 38. I beat you by 10 years.

earned less than what is considered the minimum wage. I am officially, by the standards of the german government, poor.

We can shake hands on that one.

Go and have sex with your high horse.

Hm... that would be one way to finally get some...

Welcome back :mad: :D

i forget alot of people around here but with a name like that, how could i?

No, he'll upload yours to lolcats.com

I don't normally check Gen messages and just accidentally clicked on one of my favourites and landed here by mere chance. :o

I saw your thread after a quick glance and although I already welcomed you back, I wanted to say the following:

WTF THIEF 4??????????????????? WHERE :o

I just looked around for Thief 4 news about 2 weeks ago and came up with nothing.

[Klaus Kinski]

It's just a rumor so far. Clickedy-clik! (http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/37957/Thief-4-in-Development)
But it would be damn cool if it was true.

[Wamplet]

WOW!

How 2 weeks changes everything! :D

Thanks for the link!

For anyone who cares:

Thief 4 thread at the TTLG forums:
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120596

i vaguely remember this comment:

There definitely will be a Deus Ex 3. People want another Thief, too. We'll make that series more modern, though...the medieval thing's run its course.

I'd rather have an old tyme Thief setting, but if this is the only way they will make a new one, so be it. They could still have the voice guy play Garret's replacement, although they could also leave off where Thief 3 ended, which would be interesting.

However, Thief 1, 2, and 3 all came together very well as far as story goes, from the Pagans, to the Hammerites/Mechanists and then the war between the two and the Keepers.

I just can't imagine Garret using a silenced pistol instead of arrows in the new age, but that would be damn funny.

[Klaus Kinski]

Ah crap, why not? (http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/showthread.php?t=31292)

[Klaus Kinski]

So, he day of dread has come. Now I have to descend into a realm of eternal darkness and despair. An appartment without internet connection. My vacation is over. I have to get back to work. :mryuck:
No more posting here, no more watching Mr.T on youtube (it never gets old) and no wasting time with wikipedia's articles on goats anymore. *sigh*
On the other hand, I'm not gonna stay in that appartment for long, if things work out the way I want, I'll move out in a month and have an internet connection shortly after that. \o/ We'll see. Until then I have to substitute the internet with that "real" life thing.
Anyways, you are all doomed. I'll be back. So I am not sure how well I should wish you but I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun.

Tata,

K.

Depends where you live. Besides the place has to be internet ready, which not all apartments or houses are.

[Rider]

Besides the place has to be internet ready, which not all apartments or houses are.

I doubt you can find a house that I can't make "internet ready" with a few household items and power tools :D

Assuming that you can actually get hooked up to the 'net in that area :)

But I guess thats just a few hundred bucks. :p

I OWN THE INTERNET NOW!
MUHAHAHAHA!
Well, at least I have a connection. At home! Can you believe that? The years of darkness are over, I am in contact with the world again! After 3 and a half long years! No more ridiculously overpriced internet cafes! No more dial up modems. It's DSL baby! I can play online! I can get fragged 2 times a minute now!

I remember being on dial up years ago... oh god it sucked. I finally changed up to cable when I was accepted into the FEAR beta test.... and the fileplanet FEAR MP beta. :)

Congratulations. Now you can waste your time on the internet and get nothing accomplished :p :D

So true. AHAH :D

[Klaus Kinski]

But I already got something accomplished today! I bought some of the most beatiful posters I ever owned for my apartment online. Go me!

[Damien_Azreal]

Poster of what?

[Klaus Kinski]

Phantasm (US release poster), Dawn of the Dead (a european drawn one and the gasmask silouhette), Re-Animator, The Thing, Friday the 13th part 8 (the "I love New York" one), They Live, Halloween 2 (the skeleton pumpkin) and last but not least a funny Hostel 2 poster of a nude woman holding a severed head. Damn expensive but damn worth my money.

[Damien_Azreal]

Nice.

Specially the Dawn of the Dead and Re-Animator ones. :D

And I just found out I have an ImageShack account?! With lots of HL2 screenshots? Damn, this is old!

For someone who reads this board every day I really should start clicking on general messages more often

Hell's kitchen? Some TV show?
I gave up watching TV. Too much crap. Unbelievable crap.
I can get my fix on DVD.

Yes in North America it is a show where Gorden Ramsay takes a bunch of chefs and eliminates them down to the best one and either hires them or gives them a restaurant. In the UK it seems more laid back. Usually it involves comedic events where if something is not completely perfect he throws a fit

Since you're a big bad boy on the internet now you can read about it on wikipedia if you so wish. Go ahead. Abuse your internet. You know you want too. Come over to the dark side :p

Hmm, though this thread is supposedly dedicated to Klaus Kinski, I might as well use it to announce my own homecoming as well, even though I know for a fact that there's no one here who remembers me. :D

It's been 'bout three years since I last visited. Funny, I thought it was a lot longer ago. Gotta admit, I suffered a mild shock when I noticed that they still had my profile here AND I also remembered the password. The world's full of miracles, eh?

And the good news continue to pop up: I see they've deleted 99,99% of the posts I wrote in 2002 - 2005. Thank God, I was a childish moron back then. :D

Aw to hell wit' it, let's be honest: I doubt that I'll ever start coming here again, I've lost most of my interest to video gaming. And besides: DNF still isn't done? WTF??
