Our good friend Omali finally throws in the towel…or addy sword or whatever he uses nowadays.

While browsing the interwebs this morning, I came across this temporary page that is now all that is left of Realtimestudios.org.

My Thoughts

Now, I know I’ve always dissed the shit out of this site for it being extremely unpopular and with a range of article subjects that could only interest a 12 year old, but I think I may be quite sad to see it go, as a source of entertainment if nothing else. I’m sure I speak for many of our authors and commenters as I say this.

In this brief farewell Omali explains the slightly troubled history of the site as well as finally coming clean about a few things we’ve all been wondering about for a long time, such as; “Is there really 400 unique hits a month?”, and, “How many of the authors are actually Omali?”.

All things aside, thanks for some good laughs Omali aka Mario aka Symantec aka Xanax aka McClaggen aka Mahip aka Tack Jhompson aka Mike Judge aka Shady Pies and good luck in your future career.

Real Time Studios: Finished

It’s true. As of May 16, 2007, Real Time Studios is finished. Permanently. I came to this realization after we had a massive system error and everything from the blog was lost.

Real Time Studios lasted 5 years. Five years, my project grew. What project you say? Well, for years I have been under people occasionally asking if the members of my website exist. Well, I can now say, now that it’s over, that no, most of them didn’t exist, and were simply fathoms of my own personality.

Mario was my off-the-wall critical side, Symantec was my love of helping people, Xanax was my video-game loving side, while McClaggen was the spur-of-the-moment thoughts. Mahip was the essence of crazy conspiracy jokes I came up with, and the list goes on and on. I can say, without fear though, that the following are true people who I have met in real life or online and are great people. I actually wrote Shady Pies. It was my exam. Tack Jhompson and Mike Judge also don’t exist.

IceMan, TinLizard, and Jasper Snavely are real people, as well as Crotchio Jones and General Deacon who was referred to multiple times.

I’ve grown a lot in the past 5 years, and Real Time Studios has changed to match. Granted, we’ve never been an organized or popular website, but the project was a success all the same.

I’ll be graduating high school this year and moving on to the Coast Guard, college, and then life. If I do anything, it will no longer be on a paid website, but probably on a wordpress blog. In the future, maybe a year from now, look for the Real Time Studios name. The flame is still lit, I will one day make a return.

I’d like to thank all the people who made this possible. Once again, to [18th]Gen.Deacon, who, without him, none of this would be possible. Until I see you again

Update: It wouldn’t be such a bad idea to come visit us again this November or December. I may have something in store. Until I see you again -Connor Wack AkA Omali
