Pez

Jul 18, 2012#1

Dave

In case you guys didn't notice the notice, this is a call out to hook up our buddy, FigmentPez.

Here's his email:

ARGH! The lack of Halforums is really starting to get to me. The lack of contact with fellow geeks is leaving a huge hole in my life. No Facebook, Twitter or Youtube; and no images on Tumblr, Kotaku, Gizmodo, I09, Lifehacker and more. I'm feeling nerd-deprived.

Could you let Halforumites know that I'd enjoy some email contact from people? I don't want to just post up my email for every spammer and their dog, but if anyone wants to drop me a line if you could share figmentPez@gmail.com with them that would be nice. It's only a couple/few more weeks before I move out of there to a step-down program and get access to my own computer with normal internet again, but it's going to be a rough few weeks (especially since ************ has been too busy to talk recently and probably will be until next week.)

Dude's lonely and needs to know we miss him. Drop him a line if you would. That would be cool of you.

Sent. Nothing much, just telling him we hope things'll get better.

I'm typing up something now... will send it by the end of the work day.

Hopefully, he can see animated gifs. I sent him the LittleKagpool gif from the cosplay thread.

Same.

Honestly, I wanted to send him some books/comics a few weeks back and was told that he didn't know what would set off the alarms.

Done and done.

Not sure what the situation is , but couldn't he use a library computer or something?

He's sort of in the hospital. It's a long story, but no access to anything. I think he's lucky to have email.

I feel bad because I want to say something to him but have no idea what. Obviously I hope he's feeling better and feels like this was an adequate use of his time and everything like that but it's not like he and I are best buddies or anything, and I don't want to come across as disingenuous...

...Maybe I should just tell him that....

Someone should throw together all the news from the Comic Con. I doubt he's heard about any of it.

I feel the same as Gusto.

When the hospital releases him, will they then be considered...

...a Pez dispenser?

I feel like Kags and I should send post-con coverage! Ima get right on that when I get home!

I don't really know him that well, but considering he did the games-on-sale thread, perhaps we can look out for specific games at specific price points and get them for him (he can reimburse later or not, as the case may be

). Might be worth asking him if there's something he'd be interested in, what with the Steam summer sale and all that.

Sent him an e-mail along with some pictures from my NSFW cosplay thread.

LittleSin

Wow.

I don't know what I would send to him.

Are those normal rules for that kind of hospital? I mean..that would send me into a blind rage.

It really depends. In the hospital I worked at for a while (admittedly it was about 4 year ago and I'm not up to date on their current policy), there were several wings where it was strictly no cell phones, no computers, only tv in the common room and/or supervised.
Other parts had more leniency or had at least a computer in the library or some such - monitored but enough to check mail and such.

I'm trying to figure out how to say "please come back and restart your updates to the Games on Sale thread, because we all suck at it" without sounding like an asshole.

Jul 18, 2012#21

ThatNickGuy

I said it, but jokingly, because I said we miss him for other reasons.

Thanks for the PM update Dave. Guys, might I suggest just a friendly hello to him? If he has limited email access, it might be part of his treatment and you might be doing him more harm than good? Food for thought. I hope he's well.

A note from Pez:

Thanks to everyone who emailed me, it means a great deal to me and has really improved my mood. I was really going through withdrawal from a lack of interaction with fellow geeks, especially since LittleKagsin has been so busy lately with her cosplay.

I'm going to write back everyone who sent me an email, but there are 3 computers here shared by 20+ people, and my schedule is pretty busy as well. I'll get back to people as I can, but I want everyone to know I miss Halforums more than I can say, and I hope to be posting again in a few weeks. Not sure how much time I'll have to post when I move from here to a step-down program, but I should have unfiltered internet at least.

Psh, lets do it!!

Tag team!!

Also, I just want to say thanks to everyone who has emailed him! I feel awful since I haven't been able to chat with him for the past few weeks - I've just felt so overwhelmed. Hopefully, I can get back on track with updates for him.

Wait a second, Kagsin and Heatherling are tag teaming? Seriously, how has Jay not posted a reaction?

I talked with Pez today and I just wanted to say how thankful and happy he was to get emails from you guys!

He really appreciated it!

Keep'em going.

I chatted with Pez for a bit today and he seemed to be doing well. He is very grateful for everyone who has emailed him and told me to make sure to tell everyone here that he said hi.
