Where Are They Now? 2/13/11 10:36 AM

I have been on this site for WAY too long. Five and a half years to be precise. During that time many characters have appeared then departed. Some were great at games.... some got a bit lippy on the blogs....some were totally outrageous. Some were all three.

It's Sunday afternoon and I am feeling a little nostalgic, so I thought it might be interesting to celebrate the dearly (or not so dearly) departed. I like lists. Here is a list.It's of the names of those who for me at least made an impact and made King.com the Bedlam of the PC games world.

These names are randomly placed, so no winners and no losers. Having said that, viewers can be the judge. So....here we go. Please feel free to add at will.

1. Darkdwaggie - an absolute legend ! Splendid at games, but woe betide anyone who beat him....you'd pay for it in the blogs ! YOU WERE JUST LUCKY !!!! Sorely missed, though....

2. Silent Hill - ah, our Antipodean chum. Also very good at games, but armed to the teeth with a sense of humour to die for. I think he disappeared into the outback with his belovered Jess (no relation to Postman Pat's black and white cat) to start a dingo farm.

3. Trixilixi - no relation to our very own Trixiza (fortunately). This one gave many people nightmares with her eloquent messages of less than good cheer. Rumour now has it that she is doing audio books... the proof reader has his/her work cut out removing the expletives. Either that or she is knitting barbed wire underpants for M & S.

4.Bren - one of the original Topic Twisters. He had a rather unfortunate perversion.... supported Manchester United. Last heard of in a Salford Rehab Clinic having to repeat the phrases " Wayne Rooney is just a big puff" and "Carlos Tevez is the handsomest man in football" over and over again .

5. Kongsan - ever step in something you shouldn't have? That's what reading a blog by this literary genius felt like. One had to admire his perseverance though.... he even had a set of aliases to fool us, but unfortunately his lack of decent grammar and total inability to spell always gave him away. How I'd love to challenge THIS comedian to a game of Keyword.....

That's it for now. I am sure that I have forgotten some, but it's OK for you lot to remind me of others...

Thank you for reading.

    A truer friend I could not have wished for. Your sense of justice, helping the downtrodden, and a fantastic sense of humour. When king is just a dusty forgotten bookmark, the legend of balroc will still shine out. Going to really miss you old mate.

    You're at peace now, Tony, & I'm happy for you. We who are still here are sad, tho! You were way too young to leave this world. You've been missed for a long time & will be even more now ♥
