Hi all,

I've just created an account because I forgot my old login but I went by the name SouthSideField on JV and Destroyer2050 in PR2. I was only 10 years old when I first started playing PR2 and joined JV back in 2008. It feels like a lifetime away. Although I moved onto other thing after a good 6 year run, I've often fondly reminisced back on my experiences over the years and thought about how they shaped me as a person.

Growing up in a relatively poor household, gaming in my childhood and early teens consisted of playing flash games on my family's shoddy old laptop. PR2/JV was a huge pillar in my life in these times and was my first real multiplayer experience online as well as my first time being part of any kind of community. I learned how to interact with other people, make friends and develop critical thinking skills as I eventually began conversing on the forums. JV really did feel like a community to me and over the years I basically recognized and got to know every regular user to an extent.

I can't remember every single experience I had, honestly it's mostly a haze, but I clearly remember how being part of this community made me feel and I still cherish all the time I spent back here in PR2's haydays. I was completely obsessed to the point of fantasizing about scenarios in PR2 and on the boards! I'd eagerly bike home from school each day, ready to hop online into what was essentially my second life.

How did these experiences further shape my life? Well I've always prioritized community and a sense of belonging moving forward in life, whether that be in other online games or my real life social circles.

I'm 22 now and know a lot of other people first got into PR2/JV as children or young teens. How have you personally been impacted growing up with this community?

Thank you all, once again, for the joyful memories and giving me something to look forward to every day of my childhood/early teens.

Hi, I'm new. How you doing?

Congrats to @Colind for being the first player to reach rank 80 on PR2!

I think if you're on an acc and you go to your levels you should be able to get into the pass protected ones that are yours without the pass (since you could go into LE and change pass/play them from there anyway)

Maybe the same for rank restricted levels, if you made it you should be able to get in there even if you don't meet the rank requirement

Hey all! It's me, ya boi...Resarekt

So...I'm kinda back in the swing of things and I noticed that with BB dead...there has been some rustling of it needing a revive...and you know what, I'm thinking I will probably be able to go through with it!

BUT, before I say for sure...who all is still interested? Also, where did I get all my time for this back all of a sudden???


Well...thankfully...I will be graduating from UIC (University of Illinois- Chicago Circle) with my Bachelors' Degree in Business Management this Saturday! I'm absolutely stoked to FINALLY be done w/ college/university (for now)! This will allow for ample hosting time come the fall (I'll have plenty in the Summer, no doubt in my mind), so there /SHOULD/ be no reason for an ultimate break in gaming/hosting/competition stuffs. 

Now...I don't have an exact date set for when I'm thinking I might POTENTIALLY bring back BB (mostly cause I wanna make sure scheduling works out and that I can have ample time to formulate evil twists and also work some kinks out of comps in the past and also maybe new comp ideas...?) but I will announce in a blog ahead of time when I have a more concrete date set up.

With all that said, please post HERE if you're still interested! I want to get a full tally running so I know who to PM when the announcement comes their way! Also, I think I'm on the discord...I'll link this blog there for those who don't come on here too often...so they can also see!

Alright...I think that's all. So yeah...Hot Big Brother Summer action coming...soon? 

See y'all then!

Do you ever get bogged down by so much homework that it just eats away at your social life?! It's the weekend, you want to go chill with a few homies and maybe fam, but then your instructor just gave you a sh*t load of homework to complete by Monday night and it's worth 20-25% of your grade... oh f*ck! ?

It's not just one weekend, it's every weekend. You're waiting for that magical moment where you have absolutely no homework and you can finally relax. But the problem is, you've got that one instructor who's got your social life & freedom in the palm of their hands, and they can decide whether you're done working for them or not. You see what I mean?

You finally turn in your assignments, they're on time (I hope), and you can go relax, right? Hell no! Your instructor says 'I've got something else for you to do'. Or, 'you're gonna need to do this all over again, on top of the other upcoming assignments because this work that you've done is all wrong'.

While he/she is standing there, telling you all that BS, you just want to shove those F papers up their ass and tell them to go fall off a mountain because quite frankly, you've stressed me tf out, and now you want me to do more work?? Why?!

They then tell you to suck it up and deal with it because it's only going to get harder ?

Even if you do your homework ahead of time, you still have more work to do. If you're the procrastinator and you'd rather have fun and place this daunting beast of a task towards a later time, then you're automatically going to fail.

So tell me this, people: Has this ever happened to you, do you procrastinate, are you stressed out by so much homework (if you're in school), are you ready to decimate your instructor or what? Let me know in the poll or comment below.

Welcome to Speedrunner of the Week, a contest tailored for the fastest players in Platform Racing 2! We have the racers, the fast racers, and those who are above them all: Speedrunners. Do you have what it takes to become a Speedrunner?

• Each week a new level is given a target time and expert time for contestants to beat. If you complete the target time you get 1 point added onto your total score. If you are super speedy and also manage to complete the expert time you will gain 1 extra point, bringing your total to 2 just from beating the set times.
  
  
• You can also gain points if you place in a podium spot against your competitors: if you set the fastest time that week you will gain 3 points, if you come in with the second fastest time you will get 2 points, and if you set the third fastest time you will get 1 extra point. Make note however, you will only be granted these podium points if you have beaten the target time.
