White Ranger

The stores mentioned in the last post are in an area called "The Island" (which isn't actually an island), I failed to snap a photo of that.
It has a couple of rides, yet I didn't ride none but that ferris wheel is a site, showcasing that good old Red, White, and Blue, not to mention huge to boot.

 

Tennessee has several Arcades, we paid a visit to two of them, we didn't play much in this one except a round of air hockey....
 

Pac-man air hockey that is, I lost by 50 points, which isn't too bad considering it was 2 against 1, me against my  little brother and sister. For the most part it's your typical air hockey, using only a single puck, but after several rounds dozens of smaller pucks will spew out, resulting in both teams scrambling to both defend their goals as well as score like crazy.
 

 

The Island's color changing water fountain. It will sometimes play music, and the water will move to the beat, it sadly didn't do anything during this visit.
 
This particular store (pictured below) has some weird soda flavors.

Left to right: Peanut Butter & Jelly, Bacon, Buffalo Wing, Sweet Corn, and Pumpkin Pie.

Swamp Juice, Alien Snot, Toxic Slime Grass, and Dirt. I forgot to move the Bacon soda out of the way lol. Strange huh? I prefer.......
 

Chocolate Soda!!!! It actually does taste like chocolate. 
 

Moon Pie General Store/Book Warehouse, one of the oldest stores in Pigeon Forge.

 

 

Most of the books here are inspirational, Bibles, self-documented life changing stories, and tales of survival.
 

Old black and white pictures of famous movies, and actors/actresses.

One cool feature of the store is that you can grab your own box, and mix and match the mini moon pies and make your own to go box. Flavors include chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, banana, and salted caramel.
 

You can't have moon pies without RC Cola, it's pretty much the official drink that goes with them. lol

Even though we didn't go in this attraction, this is one of the best attractions Pigeon Forge has to offer. If you got a favorite celeb, chances are you may find a wax figure of them within. Their's also wax figures of famous movie icons such as Jason Voorhees, and Freddy Kruger. 
 

This store is quite interesting, also the video screen below it will sometimes broadcast itself as a Pok'e'stop lol 

Homemade/hand carved clocks.

One part dairy bar, complete with an interesting menu of popcorn choices(picture below)
 

 

Moonshine Jelly, other flavors include cherry, strawberry, lemon, and more.
 

 

Another part Christmas store.
 

And stuff that's just plain weird.
 

A home cooking restaurant, Mama's Farmhouse features old country styled meals like chicken and dumplings, fresh baked biscuits, baked mac and cheese, gravy and more. One interesting feature...
 

the glasses are mason jars. Curious about the spoon? Don't ask, I was too when I got my drink. It was just their lol.
 

Are you a Comic junkie? A Sci-Fi freak? This store is simply amazing.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This store is pretty self explanatory, puzzles, puzzles and more puzzles. Some of them your standard, dump it out and put it together, others are real brain benders.
 

The puzzles hanging from the ceiling, as well as several showcasing on the wall far left.
 

The opposite wall.
 

I apologize for the blur. This ship and the small horse are 3D puzzles.
 

The puzzle I purchased. How it works is you dump the pieces out, shuffle them around, then attempt to put them back in exactly as shown.I haven't tried it myself, but from what I googled these puzzles can be pretty challenging.

Before we checked into our cabin we paid a visit to one of my favorite attractions, The Great Smokey Mountain Knifeworks.
 






This attraction has quite a museum, consisting mostly of knives of all sorts, unfortunately the top floor where most of the good exhibits are located was closed off to the public at the moment due to renovations, and as of such I was unable to get any pictures of that particular area.


 
My favorite area of the building: The Knife Cave

This is where I get most my swords, I may show you my entire collection via status update.

Preparing for a Zombie Apocalypse? You've come to the right place lol.
 

Any swords look familiar? ;)
 

 

 

If you can figure out what kind of weapons those are let me know.
 

 

For the Zelda fans :)
 

A literal spork lol
 

What I purchased, Its The Master Sword, Steampunk Style. 

The hilt

Every year my family and I take a trip to Pigeon Forge Tennessee, and it's very much like a second home to us. We got to spend our nights in a cabin this year, pictures below:
 
 

The front entrance to the cabin, you can't tell from outside but it's actually got two floors.
 

The kitchen, note the antlers
 

My favorite feature, a pool table. I'm not a pro, but I can play moderately well.
 

Photo of the loft.
 
More to be added....

Ok I tried to post this a few days ago, but it obviously didn't work.
 
Holy Shit, I am so sorry to everyone for the problems that have been going on with the site.
 
Here's what happened and what's happening now,
 
- I tried to resolve an issue some users where having by tweaking some of the archiving settings.  This backfired in the worst possible way, and caused all sorts of problems.
 
- By shear coincidence, my computer decided to shit the bed completely the second I adjusted those settings.  The waiting mouse cursor appeared and never stopped.  I tried rebooting in safe mode, only to find the hard drive had completely failed.
 
- By another shear and awful coincidence, my girlfriends computer started getting hacked relentlessley about 2 weeks before this happened.  Her gmail, yahoo and facebook password keep getting changed.  In effect, I'm extremely wary of using her computer for anything administrative because I don't want to compromise forum security.
 
-  So I take my busted computer to the shop, which is normally very quick, and it winds up taking them about 2 weeks to clone the thing.  They kept telling me it was going to be another day or 2 but they kept running into problems, both with the drive and with their own internal communications.
 
- During this time period Ryon was able to restore the cp settings to a previous state, which brought us from not working at all, to working but slowly.
 
- We were also able to get him into the bluehost server account and the ips account, but tech supprt has not been effective yet.
 
- When I got my computer back, however, the cloning proccess had only partially worked, and most of the data was corrupted.  So I sent it out to a specialist who has it right now, and is charging me a fucking exorbitent amount of money to repair it.  They should be done by wed.
 
- I asked the shop to check for signs of tampering, hacking etc, and they said they saw nothing that would indicate it.  So our forum security should be fine.  However I am still extremely hesitant to use my gfs computer for any of this stuff, seeing how many times her info's been hacked in the last 3 or 4 weeks.  I absolutely do not want to compromise anyone's security here.
 
- Once my computer comes back, I'm going to completely dive into into contact with tech support while I learn to adjust all the settings of the site personally.  I will make sure this shit is running smoothly by the time I'm done, if not faster than before.
 
This is not exactly the grand re-opening any of us was hoping for.  We actually have a couple of really fun surprises up our sleeves for the sute that we were getting ready before all this stuff went down.  Once we get these issue's get resolved, we'll start revealing what exactly those surprises are... All I can say in the meantime is I think everyone's really going to enjoy them :) 

Thank you to everyone who's stuck with us through all this, we will get it resolved soon.  To anyone who's feeling the need to take a break from the forum due to the issues, please please please check back in a week or two, and by then everything should be working just fine.  Again my sincerest apologies to everyone for having to deal with the slow down.  It's in no way permanent.  Any questions or even suggestions anyone has in the meantime are more than welcome.

@TopKirby8305  Awesome video and stellar narration man, you'd give any X-Game or Smackdown/RAW commentator a run for their money.

Ep 26 is here!
 
 

Special thanks to gui0007 for supplying the image for the title, this was another highly requested collection, and let's face it we can't have one of Kyo without Iori to match it. 
 
 
Like his rival Kyo, Iori is the heir to one one of the three families that sealed away Orochi 1,800 years ago. His clan was formerly known as the Yasakani. In addition to appearing in The King of Fighters series he has his own drama CD, and is featured in SNK's Band of Fighters as the bassist of the group. He also appeared as the main antagonist in Kyo's spin-off game The King of Fighters: Kyo. Like his rival he has a great deal of edits, ranging from custom gameplay to boss and cheap versions. Enjoy!!
 
 
UPDATE: This collection is officially finished. Let me know if their's any edits missing. Enjoy :)
 

Thanks Rice as he said everyone please keep things civil here.
 
@Jirobou Dude you can't be talking to other people like that. If you didn't like the person or anything on this topic then do not comment or participate about it and keep it to your self.
I'm giving you fair warning. >:-(
 
Also if you or any one else keep this type of behavior I will have to Ban ya for awhile and I hate to Ban folks around here.
 

The transphobia/homophobia thread is over in that direction people *points to the exit doors*. Take your discussion about that over there thank you very much.
 
As for everyone else, it would help if you posted why you feel that a certain creator's creations are not worth it, just so others don't interpret it as mindless bashing. Let's keep it civil.

Don't pay more attention for Jirobou and let's get back on topic please!

Ugh, please don't post shit like this again...

You're the only one starting drama, you came into the thread and started bashing jessica, and apparently you're ignorant if you can't realize she's a lesbian, it doesn't take brains to know that as she has said it plenty of times. You started it bashing her, this wasn't a drama thread but you turned it into one, if you have nothing nice to say then leave and don't say anything, it's not hard honestly.

@gui0007 This just goes to show you (and me), that their is always that one bad egg (Jirobou) that's always wanting to take something as simple this and use it to stir up trouble, and reopen old scars from the past. All Jessica wanted was to hear others opinions on what characters we didn't like, no bashing was ever intended.
 
@Jessica Smoke I'm so sorry this thread turned out as it did. Please don't let this get to you, your creations are very good, my favorite being Annie Polly. Your Mugenized self is pretty awesome too.
