I also spent hours roleplaying on HL2. Oh Em Gee, the good times.
And I started a total of no less than three films, two machinima, one stop motion, with my brand-spankin' new film production group, Inhouse Studios.
The first one was scrapped due to the fact that the contest we're entering doesn't allow guns. (That and we were using Desert Combat, and given the whole "Iraq War" thing, a James Bond-esque movie with Middle Eastern soldiers in place of random henchmen seemed kind of....insensitive.)
The second was scrapped due to the fact that it's hella hard to simulate a populated city with three people, one of them being the cameraman.
I did the same stuff i always do but minus the ns forums.. and mainly AO over winter break <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Normal regular life (moreso than before), WoW, Espionage forums (this looks sweet), saw the sun, went to the mountains (snowboard) , a few parties, and school.
Basically like before, except my time at the forums replaced with a bit more regular non-geeky stuff.

I was banned for flooding the boards. I think I'll go jump off the roof of the house.
I think I started playing NS more instead of sitting on the boards. I started playing on Lunixmonster, and haven't stopped yet, and don't plan to <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

^ Seconded.
I migrated to Half life 2 and SA Forums, I played a lot more games, I hung out on IRC a bit, watched movies, went out a bit, uh I can't remember much else. NS Forums are pretty boring now, I only check them maybe once or twice a day, post as many times, and leave. In fairness I don't visit the other boards much either now; HL2 I never visit, and SA I post on only occasionally.
So that's my story. The downtime cut the umbilical cord and now I don't care anymore <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
