Calling it a day...

[killergorilla]

Ignoring the most recent kgwhd pack (which I know I haven't released yet, but trust me it is on the way) I think I'm going to hang up my hat.

I just have too much I'd rather do.

I'm not leaving EAB and I'll always stick around, and to be honest I'll still install all the whdload games myself (because I'm a bit of a perfectionist) and may slap them up on the website every now and then, but I am not going to make any "releases".

Life is brilliant, and you fill it with what you want to do. For me that is certainly true. I love games, I've always enjoyed playing Amiga games and WHDLoad has made it that much easier.

So thanks to everyone involved in whdload, especially those lazy bastards who couldn't be arsed to install the games themselves.

PS: Massive thanks to DeCreator wherever you are for starting this all off.

[Zetr0]

Thanks for your work and efforts my friend,

I truly appreciate it, as does all my Amiga!

[fitzsteve]

Thanks for everything mate, my Miggy's FDD's really appreciate not having to go through the install for 2000+ games :great

Steve :D

[T_hairy_bootson]

Thank you for your efforts KG, another appreciative person here (lazy bastard who couldn't be arsed to install the games himself).

:bowdown

I wonder if another will step up. :nervous

[Magno Boots]

KG must be in love :help

Seriously though, thanks for all the releases buddy.

Just think of where the 'lazy arsed (robbing) bastards' selling CF cards on Ebay would have been wthout you.. nowhere

Happy new year
Magno

Is this the official 'condolences for KG' thread? Ah okay, thanks.
/me stares a bit at the open coffin
*snif*
Farewell and thanks for all the munchy installs :(

[Peter]

KG - you are a legend in Amigaland.

Glad to hear that you are not leaving the scene completely!
Thanks for all your hard work over the years - especially the Super Skidmarks installs!!

[rave]

Thanks for all your work KG :)

[Graham Humphrey]

Thanks for your sterling service to the community KG - you have made the lives of many (including mine) much simpler when it comes to installing WHDLoad games and it will always be fully appreciated :)

[Predseda]

Thank you for all the fish.

[Allen1]

Thanks for all the work you have done KG, all these games and the WHDLoad program that they are meant for, has given the Amiga even more life than it had when it was still being produced. With all the various Amiga emulators, new hardware and storage options, the Amiga is still going to be around for a while yet, your uploads have played a very big part of its popularity for the likes of myself and I am truly pleased that I found out about your game packs :great

Its good to know that you are still going to be around and I hope you enjoy a bit of a change to your lifestyle. life's too short to not take advantage of a change now and then ;)

What he said.

KG, you have made loads of peoples lives so much easier.

[xpect]

KG, you have made loads of peoples lives so much easier.

Indeed and I don't have words to thank you enough.

Well enjoy life, it's always a great thing.

[Bloodwych]

Well you've had a good innings and gave us a lot to chew on over the years, we can't complain! Give yourself a big pat on the back and bow out with your head held high!

Thanks for taking up the project after DeCreator, who also had a huge impact on these really useful packs so thanks to him too.

Big thanks to the WHDLoad team as well - where would we be without such an awesome utility. :)

[Hungry Horace]

Yep, respect due, and cheers for all your help over the years KG - you're a credit to the community.

[Gordon]

Thanks to you i have discovered many amiga games I didnt know about from the old days. Sometimes I would go hmm lets have a look in C folder, find a game and play it. Or have a look on HOL, filter for whdload game, find a game, go to amiga, open it and play. No hassle searching for an ADF and the installer and al the hassle that goes with it.

[killergorilla]

This thread reads a bit like an obituary...

Just to clarify, I'm not dead :)

I'm still alive!

Cheers for the magical words though guys, keep em coming ;)

Killergorilla obituary

Mr. Killergorilla died last night. He was tired out from installing thousands of WHDLoad games and fell accidently out of his window. Obviously he landed in a convertible with 3 nuns, which were totally shocked. The female driver braked instantly, so Mr. Killgorilla was catapulted into a group of very fat women at their aerobics lesson outdoors. One of them slipped, fell on this poor guy and crushed him to death. Some eyewitnesses said it was disgusting, others said it was hilarious.


@KG

Many thanks for your preinstalled WHDLoad games all over the years. :)

P.S.: This doesn't help you to quit the work on KGLoad. :evilgrin

[klx300r]

big thanks dude..you deserve a break:great

btw, hope she likes things RETRO:laughing

[Calgor]

:great

Do what you like doing KG, thanks for all the packs they were very useful and saved a lot of time.

I do wonder however if you will finish your unfinished projects before I finish mine... part of the new year's resolutions hey.

See you on irc now and then :)

[Konrad]

Thanks for your hard work on the WHDLoad packs :).
Are you still going to release your whdload frontend, or is that project cancelled now ?

[1time]

:bowdown

[rare_j]

Dude you have made an excellent contribution to the scene - you must be satisfied to leave your stuff in such good shape. Jolly good show old boy. :spin

[r0jaws]

I think it's fair to say, that without your contribution, the Amiga community would almost certainly be a darn sight smaller.

Cheers for saving us all a butt load of work. :)

[cosmicfrog]

from one lazy bastard, I`m sure your legacy will live long

never say never, get on being 30 something have some fun then return .......

happy ribbits KG

[pbareges]

thank you dear friend... still waiting for your next release!

RIP KillerGorilla :shocked:blased:):laughing

[seuden]

Pfft, who is killergorilla?

Some guy who's done a few WHDLoad installs? I could have done all those installs myself!!


j/k Great work KG, more time for KGLoad, woop woop!! :D

[vroom6sri]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you... [repeat to fade].

[Graham Humphrey]

Own up - who rated this thread one star?

[Photon]

Hope you'll have a great time whatever you plan to do, and that you find some time for Amiga when inspiration strikes again :)

[Galahad/FLT]

What a load of lilly livered nonsense.

So KG drinks a bit too much over the New Year period, thinks of a new years resolution....... and then becomes the only person in the world to actually see it through?!?!?!

You're 29 for pities sake, far too young for a mid life crisis (unless of course you die at 58, and that would make it bang on!), and young enough to continue 32 hours a day, doing nothing but KGpacks.

Life eh? ;)

[Retro-Nerd]

Somebody called him a "software pirate" ages ago. Maybe it plagues him these days. :D ;)

[DemonHellraiser]

RIP man, RIP

Right, everybody to OT for a whopping party and Prowler's paying :blased

Good work KG, hope she deserves more of your company than your kgwhd packs, you'll be back, you *WILL* be back ;)

[NovaCoder]

Thank you for all the hard work Mr Gorilla, your packs will be the first thing that are installed on my new Miggy :)

[Retrofan]

Rest In Peace

[killergorilla]

I hate you all.

Apart from whoever gave the thread 1 star!

[bippym]

KG We all love you sOoOOoOoOOOOoooOOOOoOOOOo much.. NOW GET ON WITH THE PACKS FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[killergorilla]

Keep your love to yourself you weirdo!

[alkis21]

I really feel that it's one of those moments where I need to come up with a meaningful and profound quote, but I'm drawing a blank. So I'll just say this: In the name of Toki, Donkey Kong, Charlie Chimp, Monkey Island and everything that is primate,

THANK YOU

for everything. The Most Important Project of my Life (http://www.alkis.org/eamiga.html) would not have been possible without your contribution.

[Bamiga2002]

Now where's that pack?! :D

[dlfrsilver]

How hard, come on KG, do us a favor, continue your packs :lol !

PS : and happy new year pal btw ! :cheese

[killergorilla]

How hard, come on KG, do us a favor, continue your packs :lol !

PS : and happy new year pal btw ! :cheese

It's not that the packs are difficult to make, it's just that they are fucking monotonous :) TCD will vouch for that!

PS: Happy new year everyone :)

[fitzsteve]

It's not that the packs are difficult to make, it's just that they are fucking monotonous :) TCD will vouch for that!

PS: Happy new year everyone :)

Happy New Year!

Maybe we can all help out and take a letter or two?

I'd be happy to do Q and Z :laughing :great

[TheCyberDruid]

TCD will vouch for that!

Yup. They range from PITA to just boring :)

I'd be happy to do Q and Z :laughing :great

What about I-Z? Been there, done that, not really fun :p

[Retroplay]

Thanks for your effort KG, much appreciated, now have a nice retirement. :)

I have installed all the new slaves with a few exceptions and named them with the "proper" KG naming convention.
If anybody else wants them I could zone them.

[edit]
Will have to be upped to FTP instead as it's 162 mb we're talking about. :)

[Hungry Horace]

It's not that the packs are difficult to make, it's just that they are fucking monotonous :) TCD will vouch for that!

maybe you shouldnt be so anal in updating every single update from scratch and just update the slave files! ;) (unless like Lemmings you find that the images you used are not supported!)

not that i dont appreciate the love and attention you put into each one KG :)

[Adropac2]

So much time saved with your killer packs so a massive thanks from me too

[kriz]

Thx for your good work kG, you will be back :P

[KevG]

I am just wondering if we could all give Killergorilla a bit of encouragement by say sending him £5 each through paypal. That way he would be getting paid for his time.

Give me your e-mail address KG and £5 will be on its way. :)

[killergorilla]

Call it £600 and I'll have it all wrapped up for Valentines Day for ya ;)

[DemonHellraiser]

10,564 members = £52,820 @ $5 each mr KG

Don't you think £600 is a bit cheap for your work ;)

[killergorilla]

10,564 members = £52,820 @ $5 each mr KG

Don't you think £600 is a bit cheap for your work ;)

Yes I do.

Ok let's meet in the middle... £600 + £52,820 / 2 = £26,710.

I'll start work once my paypal account reaches £20k, just to be fair :D

[KevG]

Hi KG...

Any news yet on your progress with the new packs? Will they be available soon?
If they are taking too much time then I am willing to help.

Kev G.

[musojon74]

Thanks for all your hard work kg very much appreciated :-)

[Hewitson]

I'm sorry to hear that your great work is coming to an end.

I've always thought it'd be great to have links to each games' HOL page on the site. If this is something you're interested in I have plenty of spare time at the moment and would be happy to do this as well as update any slaves which have newer versions available.

Cheers

[T_hairy_bootson]

KG's site doesnt have individual game downloads, just packs. I think you may be confused with Magix's WHDownload site.

[Hewitson]

Ah, I always thought that was his site and that Magix was hosting it. :banghead
