2004

I was introduced to the game. This was also the year that I learned the cheat codes Testcheats=1; and defaultmarble.gravity=2;. I also learned how to unlock levels, so I did that. My skills weren't the best, ofcourse, as I was only a young child. I couldn't pass such levels like Half-Pipe Elite, Gauntlet, and Grand Finale...

2005

Things got bigger. I would have MBG on all the computers in my house, and play it forever. This was also the year that I stayed up 'till 4:30 in the morning playing Twisting the Night Away , no joke.

2006-2008

My break from MBG or even MB all-together. At the beginning of 2007 is when I discovered these forums. During this period I have gotten new computers, so Marble Blast was gone altogether. In 2008 my dad got a YouTube, but gave it to me in 2010.

2009

We bought MBG for my birthday this year. I began to make levels in the LE... Forgot completely about the forums during this period, therefore had no clue about Constructor or QuArK...

2010

I then took quite a break from MBG until September of 2010. This is where the real stuff happens... My dad gave me his YouTube, and I began uploading on September 18, 2010. From this time all the way until now, I've played Marble Blast. In December of 2010 is when I first talked to Matan on YouTube, after seeing his LE guide, asking him about interiors. Hence, I discovered Constructor. During this month I also went back to the forums, going there (here) for help with custom-level building. I also talked to Pokko about a Map2Dif problem... I learned Constructor a little bit, but dropped it after like a week, and never picked it up again until May 30, 2011.

This month (December, 2010) is also where I decided to look through the mods board and actually explore this forum. I discovered MBP, and downloaded it, and enjoyed it! I also discovered MBOpal, and when I realized they needed a music-maker, I hopped right to their forums! That was the day I first talked to Jeff, Ian, and Greg. When I made them 2 tracks, I was accepted as staff!

Let's not forget that this is also when I started MBSuperStar! When I realized that you could mod and make MBG, I got my ideas and plans out! You guys don't even know how long I've wanted to create a game... I learned all the aspects, and am currently learning how to use the programs I need for it...

2011

January

This month was more of a pausing period for me. I slowed down on MBG, picked up on MBP, and worked more tracks for MBO... Jeff has also really helped me in coding - IDR if it was this month or February, but I was learning how to modify .mis files, game.cs, triggers.cs and more!

February

I think here is when I learned init.cs, but I honestly don't remember what happened at all this month...

March

I created some friction textures for MBS, and Jeff created some interior tests for me... I coded new frictions, and voila! New frictions!

April

When I went to open up Constructor again, that's where my problems cam in... About memory... Me and Jeff argued talked about it, and it came to where I needed more RAM...

May

This is when I decided to join the forums! When the MBO Forums moved, I joined there and then came here! From that day to this day I think is the period I've spent the most time on MB-Related stuff... I also created my forums, and got Constructor working, and built my first true custom level! I want to thank everybody out there for giving me a great understanding of Marble Blast, Level Building, coding, modding, etc., and I especially want to thank these people: Jeff, Matan, Pablo, Pokko, Ian, Greg, Mato, and the rest of the MBO Team, as they've helped me numerously with different tasks, and the staff of MBS: NaCl and Amun-Ra! Thank you everyone and this is my Marble Blast history!

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.

Thanks guys! Honestly, I'm kind of surprised that I'm not nearly as good as Pascal... Perhaps it was those breaks in between where I didn't play for a while...

My consern is that Pascal has talent plaing MB since he was 1st one who started discovering thouse shortcuts in GG forums.

Nice post btw.

Some guy that does DTS shapes and levels.

AWESOME time HINT : When making PQ level place your custom interiors and textures in platinum/data/interiors_pq/custom

I first saw these forums somewhere in 2007 as well, and I think my skills were a little bit better. I still remember manually installing MBP successfully around that time too! I can't remember when I got MB though, maybe 2003-2004?

Tech Warrior's history is the EXACT SAME as mine! Just one thing: I played MBU before MBG.

Wait so you joined in May, started MBS, are apart of the MBO team, and first talked to Matan in December? I don't think so...
