New Here, Just Want to Get to Know Everyone.

[Giga Dragoon]

Hi. I've lurked a while and I'm relatively new here, and would just like to get a feel for the forums. People seem intelligent and nice enough to have decent conversations with, and I believe I can get along with most people here. So if I could just get feedback from some of you, I'd appreciate it!

I'll go ahead and list some of the things I'm into. Why don't you share your opinions?

As far as music goes, the majority of what I like is rock and techno. Concerning rock, anything of high quality from the 60's until now works. I have equal love for the deep, mind-blowing chords of Pink Floyd to the melodic, almost symphonic Norwegian black metal band known as Amon Amarth. It's all good. About techno, I like the Japanese style because it puts you in a sort of high-speed euphoria, full of energy.

I absolutely love gaming. I have hundreds of games in my house, some material, some being my old favorites stocked up on my PC through emulators. I especially like RPGs and shooters. Mario 64 (not the DS version, the original) has always been one of my favorite games. I even have four N64s; one clear purple, one clear silver, one clear gold, and the Mario 64 red edition. I also have a clear purple controller, a clear silver, the Mario red, and the Pikachu yellow. I always find at least an hour a day to play through my games, even though I have so many of them. Sometimes it takes me a few months before I think of playing certain games, just because I get caught up in others. I also enjoy indie games like Minecraft and Terraria. The most interesting fact is, to this day, I've won a total of $8200 in gaming tournaments, my most recent being a regional Halo 3 competition for $2500. I guess you could say I'm somewhat of a fanatic, anyways, moving on.

As far as television goes, one of the only decent shows I've found in America is That 70's Show. I like it because of its satire, and the fact that it's generally the only funny sitcom ever made. But most of the TV I watch is found online, on my favorite anime sites. There are over a hundred anime I've watched or am watching and I can easily say I'm the biggest otaku in my county (but I do have a life, mind you).

As far as books go, Stephen King, Tolkien, dragon bestiary/lore and manga are about all that work for me. I found the Warriors books (with the sentient feral cats and such) to be pretty interesting, but the series never really got off the ground and after the storyline "finished" I felt a little disappointed. Although I sometimes borrow one from my friend to thumb through.

I'm highly fascinated with the supernatural. From the German descendent master of shadows Slenderman to the ancient Pagan elder god Cthulhu, I always enjoy a good spirit, cryptid, or strange being. I'm especially intrigued with Slendy at the moment, having had my own sighting a month ago and having nothing develop from it. Maybe he senses something different about me? Who knows?

I'm going to break down a wall here, hoping everyone is as open-minded as I am. I'm not religious. I'm not an Atheist, I'm not a cultist, I just simply never saw a reason to worship such a vain, arrogant concept (an all powerful lord who creates one planet with life, only to deem a single race of his own slaves worthy of being in his image? Yeah. Right.) while my life sucked so much ass. (parents divorced at 13, mother Buddhist and mostly French, I get that from her. Got made fun of to all hell in middle school and freshman year.)

Random tidbit, I'm a brony. Just going to throw that out in the open while I'm ahead.

I feel like this is TMI, but I might as well get out as much as I can. Neurological stuff I've been diagnosed with; insomnia (trouble getting to sleep or waking up) common stage one migraines (happened a lot when I was younger, but I never get them anymore. Just chest pains and stuff like that, normal stuff), mild psychosis (although I somewhat disagree with this one, I do see where the guy came from when he slapped this label on me. I have a bit of an eccentric personality. tl;dr I'm insane but I'm not going to eat you.)

I think enough pages of this open book have spilled onto this forum. Sorry about the giant wall o' text. And sorry if this is somewhere it shouldn't be. I didn't see a subtopic set up for these specific threads, but if there is one, feel free to move it there. By the time I've just finished registering and typing all this out, it's 3:50 AM or so where I live. After I open this thread, I'm just going to play some Pearl Jam and try to get some sleep. Right now I'm running on a 24 oz Coke cup (like in restaurants and stuff, ya know? You can get them for free easily... I've got 12 or 13 of them) of ice cream and one of those new peppermint coffees from McDonald's. I think those things are amazing. Anywho, good night and see you tomorrow.

Quite a bit of talk.
So going back to indie topic with mine craft.
Do you at all mess around with red stone? Also do you know any server (don't post it publicly.) that a few of us can hang out at.
For some reason I'v been ban from one and another one of us can't get on.

I really should go on that forum and see why i was ban.

HI welcome to the forum!!

[suki888]

wow a long intro, hi and welcome to the forum!!

[Giga Dragoon]

Sorry for not replying, I had exams over the past few days and I didn't touch my computer much.

About Minecraft, I'm somewhat good with redstone, but I can't build elevators or moving vehicles or anything like that. I also don't use any redstone mods or plugins because they take some of the fun out of experimenting. I think the most complicated thing I've made was a self-building house. I don't really know very many good servers (either the staff are whiny or too many people greif, etc.) and the server I currently play on most has an 80 player cap and we usually fill up during (eastern US times) 9 am - 7 pm. We still have about 25 people on average during the night. And (not racist) there are a LOT of Italian players who spawnkill people all the time, so your first day is pretty damn annoying. You probably wouldn't be able to leave if we didn't have warps. But they're not always there, and they usually run away when confronted, so they're easy to deal with after you get an iron sword and some armor.

^I feel like a geek when I rant like that. Meh.

.... Yes. Hello!

You might find on here that people have a certain section of the boards that they stick to, venturing out only occasionally to other sections. For example, I almost never see people like Katamaru, or Lucky777 in the RP section.

Anyway, yeah. Games are good. I play minecraft and terraria from time to time, as well as other inde games I pick up from Steam. But I am far from a compleationist, or a 1337 player. I find that, if I don't play gomes on easy or normal, I die. Alot. I would be aweful in tournaments. Heck, I watch the Starcraft2 Dreamhack tournaments with games that are over within 10 minutes, and if I was playing, by that point I would only have just started taking a second base!

So. Hi.

All the cool kids hang out in Creative Corner.

Hi new user! Stop by my Sakyu thread some EST 7-10 (varies because I am an annoyingly inconsistent person) to watch a live stream and chat with other users.

[Taria]

I came for the games, stuck around for the RPs. I'm pretty much always in the RP section now. It is also where I am moderator. You should check it out; there are all different styles to choose from, and if you have any of you own ideas people a pretty open to new RPs.

Howdy! Welcome to the fourms!

HI! Same boat, my fav mature forum got shut down due to no funding and have not a penny to give so that sucked. I lurked here for a while and right now im just bidding my time and posting all over til i can get past the approval limit and become active on the RP forums.

I like rock and a little techno to. pretty wide range but i find myself listening more to 3 doors down and avenged sevenfold and ive been experimenting around with some indie bands and alt rock.

Huge gamer myself, used to play alot of XBL for a while but i had to cut down and drop out of a few clans to go to college. right now im checking the progress of LoK projects (long time fan but i didnt ever think to check your forums), playing some skyrim, halo, and MW3 and was a CBT for Swordgirls (anime TCG) which is soon^TM to be released. Other than that my gaming has been somewhat limited though (as i said) i lost my mature rp site a month ago and the rp sub forum is incredibly active so im chose to stick around.

TV: not that much, just go on animeboy every once in a while to watch stuff and do a little chat.

Books: mostly manga but ive read plenty of other stuff and i am quite literate (despite my bad typing grammar)

Religon: er... uh...

ya, never bought into the idea either

Nice to see a few real clicks with people. I think I'll enjoy my stay here

As for Cupcakes, you wouldn't believe how many times I've been tricked into reading that or simply read it just to make myself leave the internet and get some sleep (I do the same thing with gore threads, etc in 4chan). It doesn't really affect me anymore after reading Cutie Mark Crusader Massacre (might not be the most accurate guess at its title, I've only seen it once, lost the link. The name is close to that, but I'm a little tired and don't feel like looking it up right now). It's hard to believe some people really think these are intended to be clopfics rather than horror stories. But hey, to each his own, even if that means what may possibly be the most screwed up guro readable.

Hey, I'm new too, and I just have one question for you, who's the best pony? You probably already know my favorite...

[haloman]

Hey man welcome! Hope you enjoy the site! Im a brony as well, play total miner forge (basically minecraft for XBL) MW3, Halo, GoW... A lot. Im a heavy gamer If you ever need anything just ask me ^_^ Or you know... anyone else. Im the kind of guy who just loves to help out!

[Spartan5015]

Yes welcome! welcome! I've been biding for a long time now too. I only just recently found out about the approval limit 'cuz i want to post a game I've been working on, so I'm just trying to participate more. I play XBL every now and then, and I also have a PS3 account, but most of my time is spent on the computer working on various things, like websites, skyrim mods, or my game for this site. I play minecraft almost religiously with my budds on our server. I'm looking to go into programming as a career. As for music, I rarely stray far from Metal or (very heavy) dubstep. sometimes when I'm in the mood I'll listen to a bit of Muse or something else like that.

I've been a bit of a parasite on this site for a long time, and It's about time I get to know the people on the forum. Welcome, again! I look forward to getting to know everyone!
