Welcome to the forums eagle

Hey, I'm Funky_Billiards!  You can call me Max if you want, since that's my name, but my arrangements will be attributed to Funky_Billiards.  I've been playing the piano and organ for a few years now, and have decided to help write up some arrangements for you guys.  If you're interested, I perform vgm on the organ, piano, and other instruments on my YouTube channel:

You can get a grasp on the kind of musician I am there, otherwise you can just see what kind of arrangements I decide to notate.  I hope you guys will enjoy my work for you!

Welcome, Funky_Billiards!

For some reason, your videos aren't working on my computer I'll make sure to check them out later. Welcome!

You seem pretty cool, Max. I like your videos. Nice choice in songs and lots of talent.

[E. Gadd Industries]

I looked at a few of your vids (I see you saw one of my comments ). You're talented! Welcome to ze forums!

Hey, I thought I'd say hello. I used to hang around the site a lot years ago. It's been a long time, but I still recognize some of the names in the forums from back then. These days I'm working on a PhD in Applied Mathematics. Man, has it been a long time.

Back when I was still active, I remember updates being few and far between, but now I see you've all got new sheets all the time. Kudos to you all for the hard work and productivity- new members and old, you're all doing amazing stuff.

I ended up back here because I was telling a friend about this site. I probably won't post very much at all (gotta write my thesis!) but it's nice to see everything that's been going on!

[Dudeman]

Oh hey, I definitely recognize your username.
*checks last post*
...2010?! Okay, guess we never interacted.
Thanks for visiting! It's always cool to have a super veteran show up from time to time.

[Olimar12345]

INGUS! How've you been?? Man it's been since VGV times that I've seen/heard from you! Glad to know you're still kickin', and working on a PhD nonetheless!

[SirIngusBingus]

Thanks guys! Olimar, good to see you too! I see your name all the time whenever an update gets posted to facebook. Those always make me smile.

I'm doing good! I moved to Baltimore (if anyone's ever in the area, hmu) and I work mostly on graph theory and network science-y stuff. Enjoying my Switch, can't wait for Splatoon this Friday. I should post my friend code later, maybe I can go a couple rounds in ARMS with you guys.

I'm not much of a musician anymore - I haven't really touched my sax in a few years now - but I joined a hip-hop dance team a few years ago, and I've gotten pretty into that. And this winter I'll actually be teaching a course on video game music! It's built from a musicology standpoint, and was 100% inspired by my time at NSM (and you can be sure I'll be showing this site in lectures!).

[Dudeman]

I'm excited to hear about those!

[LeviR.star]

Nice to meetcha! I feel bad for not joining back in 5th grade, when I first started browsing here, but it's nice to meet a veteran like yourself!

Wow! WOW! I recognize your username from the earlier pages of some of the forum games topics! Super cool to see you back.

[SlowPokemon]

Holy shit yeah I remember you, but I joined in 2010 so that was when I was brand new here

Wow do you remember me?
