So we had some cool meetups between Trace and Riblet (and Jeff?), but now here are two people you probably didn't expect.

Awkward...

No clue?
Well, the one on the left is me, the one on the right is...
Warning: Spoiler!

:woohoo:

We hanged in my house, playing some PQ, but more importantly I have real-time recordings of Camp (and bloopers) and I helped him with Constructor, get 1.51 properly working and fix various bugs he has had with customs.

Until next meeting!

Confirmed: If you want PQ, just fly to Israel and track down Matan. I'm sure he'll let you play if you say "PQ WHERe" enough times from across the street.

Wow! I actually used to think the people of the marble blast community knew each other personally and they used to gather at Matan's house (members like Phil, Ian, etc.), because the community had a sense of togetherness and it still does, but it's much bigger now. I could realize this just from playing MB and its custom levels. Nice visit! Tell Moshe hi and his levels rock! You guys must come play multiplayer next time :D And, we should have more visits! Me and MOTB live in the same area, and also I'm going to Seattle this summer, home of three MB players.

I was as close as two hours away from Jeff once, but I think I opted away from that opportunity because of fear of what might happen.

But alas, I notice you neglected to mention how that you met. Did you run into each other while shopping at Spencer's? Did you see a car with "this is moshe" spray painted on it in the Starbucks parking lot? Did you bail him out of jail after he allegedly tried to PQ the place? Did he start a riot at your bachelor party because he secretly was dating your fiancé, who in turn wasn't sober enough to realize that you were two different people?

I'm just curious.
I love you, but your attitude is like that of a shrew. Your options? Take a pill or be my kill. Might I suggest that you wear a vest. Perish in class or be banished to the land of bluegrass, where dreams don't exist as you'll be eternally pissed.

Not that exciting as your theories, unfortunately :P

Moshe and I live 100-120km apart, and in Israel going this kind of length means you're there for the whole day. As none was required for more than a year we haven't met. Nonetheless yesterday he had to come down south to Tel Aviv, so we arranged he'll meet me (additional 20km) and we hanged in my place. I also fixed his marble blast problems as well since he brought the computer.

Next time if I'll have something to do in the north I'll jump to his place. But it was great seeing the one and only Moshe!!

Why don't you come in France? Not now, because we're into a heatwave, but... one of those days? :)

Yeah, I didn't recognized Matan either, because I have the image of his face when he was really younger in my mind (when he made the Matan's Talk Corner, that is)

That's why, when I see Matan's face now... well, it took me one whole hour to fix my jaw! Let's agree together, folks: Matan is handsome! Don't you agree?

I agree, Ralph! I hope I go to Israel some day! I'm Jewish, btw. Your place seems pretty cool, I always used to imagine it differently, like a small, cozy little pq apartment. I actually dreamed that I went to your house and played pq on your computer :)

Little late reply . Congrats on meetup, really never expected anyone to meet matan.

Also If anyone UK is interested in meeting me send me an email to raivis789@inbox.lv or add me on Skype [rdsempire] and if you will be near where I'm going I could get there. Currently im hitchiking to Scotland to meet up with Uil, I started about a week agofrom Latvia, and today I am near cattenburry.

These comments are just about as amazing as the original post itself! Especially TW's post. :) I can't help but read that with a bit of an accent in my mind.
And Ralph is entirely right! I was just avoiding saying it myself. He does look a lot older now...!

My state touches Jeff's state. That's already too close for me.

Cheers! ~PM

That's nice to see your faces again, I already saw Moshe's one on some parkour vids if I remember well, but yeah as Ralph said, you totally changed Matan!

Well, if anyone is comming in France during vacation, just PM me or something!

No-one seems to travel through lonely Wisconsin for some reason :( It's all in Europe.

Yeah, mostly Europe. And on the subject of that, if anyone ever comes to Sweden, please tell me where you are so I can stay away

...jk :p very unlikely that anyone would ever come here anyway.

It's because he has a visible forehead and also because his hair is trimmed short. That is all. Perhaps you need less blurry and compressed Youtube videos, so that you can see his hair in those dimly-lit videos.
