Nondrick’s New Home
Hello again! Jut a quick note to let you know what’s going on with this blog.
Living In Oblivion has a new home, at my other site, Screen Cuisine. The whole shebang has been imported over there, comments included, and the images have all been restored.
If I update it again, which I might, the new updates will only appear over there.
If you’re a fan of my other sites, like Not My Desk, The First-Person Observer, or Concerned: The Half-Life and Death of Gordon Frohman, they’re all over at Screen Cuisine now too.
You can also find links to all ten entries of my blog about Skyrim, The Elder Strolls, which I wrote for PC Gamer’s website.
That’s it! Thanks for hanging in there!

I would like to say, first!
July 8, 2012 at 8:55 pm
Heh, comments included.
July 8, 2012 at 8:56 pm
I wonder if he ever still reads these comments. I wonder if we frighten him.
July 8, 2012 at 9:07 pm
I will be there. Oh, and yes, Arreh. I’m sure we do.
July 8, 2012 at 11:34 pm
Ian! Ian it’s been farrr too long.
July 8, 2012 at 11:34 pm
oh wait is that how we do it? I can hardly remember.
July 9, 2012 at 7:15 am
Testing testing.
July 9, 2012 at 3:30 pm
Score. Italics. Anyway, does anyone know how to subscribe to just the nondrick feed instead of the whole site?
July 10, 2012 at 3:43 am
Look, an update!
August 15, 2012 at 4:06 am
No replies? In a month?
Well, there’s nothing left to do but – LAST
September 13, 2012 at 2:15 am
First ever poster gets first last? I’ll take it!
September 16, 2012 at 11:43 am
Oh no you don’t!
September 16, 2012 at 11:49 am
Nope. This is probably going to be between me and Michael.
Last!
September 26, 2012 at 10:11 pm
Just want to say.
Last!
September 28, 2012 at 12:40 pm
Yeah, that ain’t happening.
September 30, 2012 at 6:32 pm
You are not stopping me, arreh.

October 16, 2012 at 11:52 am
No seriously, bitch please.
October 16, 2012 at 2:15 pm
I was pretty serious about being last, you know.
So. Last.
October 17, 2012 at 8:32 pm
You shall never get the last. If I have to outlive you all, I will. Also I’m completely kidding.
October 21, 2012 at 1:01 pm
Google reader, always telling me late when someone’s posted. Also Last!

This is a great conversation.
November 11, 2012 at 2:00 pm
The best there ever was.
November 15, 2012 at 1:31 pm
It will go down in history as the greatest comment conversation on this abandoned website.
November 17, 2012 at 8:15 am
I’m sure of it.
November 17, 2012 at 3:14 pm
That’s great, I’m sure of it too.
November 18, 2012 at 9:32 am
Good.
November 18, 2012 at 10:43 pm
Yes, it is.
November 19, 2012 at 12:02 am
I have successfully beaten you.
Wanna know how? I cared.
That’s right. I cared enough to be a persistant jackass unlike Jaded Empath-the pathetic Feminazi who relied on flawed, politically influenced logic and impotent lurkers to overwhelm you. I cared enough to frustrate you, to make your normal conversations impossible.
You can spew your words of defiance all you want-it doesn’t change the fact that I, with my brilliant timing and exceptional wording have kicked you out of the one thing that brought you together.
Yeah, you may be communicating through other means now…but can you really call it a Hiatus Crew if you aren’t waiting for anything? But then you have to ask yourself what you were REALLY waiting for.
We all know what that is.
Closure.
After establishing friendship through mutual interest you slowly stopped caring whether or not LIO even continued. The only thing that mattered was closure. Knowing that you wouldn’t have to check that site every other day and be disapointed that your Lord and Master Chris Livingston hadn’t updated.
But what does Chris do? He moves the pages to another site and archives them as if they were ancient texts whose only value was that of history and memory.
He doesn’t care enough to tell you he’s done with it.
All he had to do was say he no longer has interest in writing.
He didn’t care enough to write a single sentence.
You have been abandoned and cast out, a pantheon of dry personalities and faded glory. A worthless pack of groveling fools.
And before you ask, I killed the honesty. Only the actor remains.
November 20, 2012 at 2:48 am
Ouch, I may need some ice for that rather lengthy burn.
November 20, 2012 at 1:49 pm
You know what you can do for a NASTY burn?
Pour some sweet cream on it!
November 20, 2012 at 10:20 pm
Sweet cream?
November 20, 2012 at 10:31 pm
Sorry, I had just got back from the gym…doing my squat-thrusts.
November 26, 2012 at 3:05 am
Sounds… Fun.

So you guys are still hangin’ around here? I miss the active days. I wish he’d do another skyrim startup. That ending was a little abrupt.
February 14, 2013 at 1:51 pm
That would be great. Who knows if that will ever happen. I think some of the other PC gamer guys are going to do a few of those. Happy Valentines Day!

January 3, 2014 at 1:00 pm
It’s 2014! Is everyone keeping the spirit of Nondrick alive? If not, then play through Skyrim as an NPC!
Oh better yet wait till the release the mmo, then we can all play together!
~G
January 16, 2014 at 7:59 pm
Wow, G. Can you imagine that? The Hiatus Crew OGs reuniting in the MMOs.
As NPCs.
March 5, 2014 at 10:06 pm
Just to let you crazy chaps know I’m still alive 🙂
March 6, 2014 at 10:37 pm
You’re alive? I knew throwing enough babies off the bridge would bring you back to life!
April 10, 2014 at 11:35 am
Damn, I wondered why I had such a good baby-harvest this year. The village feasts well thanks to you, G.
July 3, 2014 at 6:25 pm
Almost 2 years now and no new Nondrick has materialized. Time had come to give up all hope.
July 9, 2014 at 10:56 pm
We will never stop watching.
July 15, 2014 at 9:48 pm
Sure buddy, but who watches the watchers?! Also holy shit, I just realized that when I started reading this, I was still in primary school, and now I’m starting college 😀
September 7, 2014 at 6:54 pm
wow it’s been a long time
October 21, 2014 at 10:40 pm
I started reading this before I had finished high school, and now I’m in my penultimate year at Oxford. So much time gone by. Nondrick the one constant ❤
October 22, 2014 at 11:37 am
I feel ya Arreh. I remember those days.
November 19, 2014 at 7:32 pm
Guys, what if we are the Nondrick?
November 24, 2014 at 3:32 am
Wait… Wait… WE COULD MAKE MORE NONDRICK. Together, we will load the Nondrick save, play extensively and then compile our work into one glorious Livingston worthy piece of MAGNUM OPUS that will be the new Nondrick chapter.
November 24, 2014 at 12:21 pm
Who are you? Nevermind.
Are you saying we should beg Chris for Nondrick’s save file and each play Nondrick with same or similar mods and see how far each of us gets?
December 11, 2014 at 7:16 pm
HI EVERYBODY! I missed you guys… 😦
December 22, 2014 at 12:51 am
I welcome the idea, G.
January 29, 2015 at 2:11 pm
I second G’s idea, that would be awesome 🙂 Also yeah, I can’t believe how long this has lasted XD

August 1, 2016 at 11:51 am
50 years from now when we’re all orbiting Saturn as a collective hivemind I reckon we’ll still be posting comments here 😀
September 6, 2016 at 7:46 am
Did the comments cap out?
September 6, 2016 at 7:49 am
Oh I see, if any old members of the Hiatus Crew stop to continue their eternal namesake, and if they need a place to rest, join this discord: https://discord.

January 16, 2018 at 12:11 pm
Snap, dude, this could be bad. Surely wordpress has a policy listed somewhere in the fine print. Is one comment every 3-4 months enough to tick the ‘active’ box?
February 28, 2019 at 7:38 pm
Keepin’ the dream alive, just in case!
March 17, 2020 at 1:27 pm
heya guys, I’m hoping that all of you are fine during this friggin’ pandemic – randomly thought of you all, if anyone happens to still read it ever again ❤
March 21, 2020 at 7:29 pm
I still pop in from time to time just for the nostalgia. I still get email notifications from this thread, too!
Quarantine-wise, I’m doin’ alright. Staying in, working from home, makin’ music. How about you?
March 24, 2020 at 4:27 pm
I’m good, I hope you all are.
June 18, 2020 at 7:21 am
Man, time eh? Just keeps on going. Blink and it’s a decade later.
February 23, 2021 at 6:47 am
Can’t believe we’re still coming back to this.
February 23, 2021 at 7:02 am
When I first commented here replying to everything and annoying everyone I was 12 years old. It was a few weeks before my 13th birthday. I’m now 24 years old and have a son. Absolutely insane.
March 5, 2021 at 3:23 pm
This comment section is such a beautiful little part of forgotten internet history. The fact multiple of us still keep tabs on it warms my heart every time. 🙂
February 4, 2024 at 7:37 am
it’s pretty cute. You’re all pretty cute.
March 9, 2022 at 10:51 am
Blimey at least the pandemic is winding down, though I don’t think even our epic comments section will survive WWIII with Russia 😀
October 6, 2022 at 10:15 pm
2022 man, absolutely unreal. I’ve gotten married and now have a 5 year old kid since the old days of Nondrick – thought I’d do my usual half-decade check in 🙂
October 6, 2022 at 10:27 pm
Unreal is right. I get kinda choked up whenever I get a reply notification. Congrats on the kid, caraday!
Life update:
I started reading nondrick in high school. Since then, I’ve burned out of a school band director career, come out of the closet, toured a few decent local indie bands, and now I’m a freelance programmer building art tools. No kids yet, but I will say being 30 is weird lol.
Glad to see everyone still here 🥰
