a fun book that I like, not my FAVORITE but it's in my top list of fun books to read is THE MAN WHO NEVER MISSED a military-science-fiction-spiritual-martial-arts-political-revolutionary pulp novel from the 80s. Some may already know it since it was written by the guy who wrote STAR WARS SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE as well as ALIENS: Earth Hive with two other ALIENS books in that trilogy, and an ALIENS vs PREDATOR novel or two.
I've read it at least three dozen times over the years, there's also a handful of books that were written in the early 90s that follow up with characters from it. it's not the GREATEST book by any means and the sex scenes are awkward to read as an adult but it is a ridiculously readable and entertaining book if it seems even remotely interesting. I fully recommend it for anyone into military science fiction about a spiritual and political revolutionary.

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

I used to drink alcohol fairly often. Never to the point of it being a problem, but like 2-3 beers with dinner each night, or a few cocktails or glasses of Scotch or something. Started smoking/vaping weed a lot a few years back which killed 90% of my interest in booze. Now I stopped smoking/vaping weed as much and just deal with life the boring way most of the time+1

Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.

So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.

@SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)

@Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.+1

@SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found

@Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
