Welcome to the Escapist! I hope you have a pleasant stay.

Also....24 year old boy?
Perhaps he's a child at heart.

Anyways, welcome to the Escapist! I'm sure you'll enjoy it here very much.

Welcome to The Escapist my good man, 'tis a wonderful place. I'm not quite Yahtzee but I am an Englishman wearing a trilby (that I coincidentally bought today) and I'm acknowledging your existence. It's a start eh?

But seriously, welcome to The Escapist, heed the O Mighty God Furburt's advice above and generally just hang around, relax and shoot the breeze with your fellow Escapians.
Dude, 'Escapians'? Wouldn't it make more sense for us to just be Escapists?

Welcome to the Escapist. Don't drink the coffee on Friday. Any other day is fine, except there is some risk involved if it is both a Monday and the 17th. If it's a Friday and the 17th, strangely enough, the coffee is fine.

Here's few quick Do's and Don'ts around here:
1. NEVER. EVER. Make a topic asking either "Why does everyone hate ____?" or "Why does everyone like ____?" These topics are stupid because the answer is always "People have their own tastes. Some agree with you. Some don't. Get over it." There. Now you don't ever have to make one of those topics.

....Actually, that's all I've got. Just don't do that^^^ and we'll get along just fine.

EDIT: Oh yeah. "24 year old boy"? Really?

Hey, hopefully you enjoy your stay here at the Escapist. Latest drama...I've been trying to decide if I should do a Metro 2033 review for the User review section.

Also I almost died today. Guess there was some drama there.

Hi!

This is my first post on this forum and I thought I'd introduce myself to everyone. =)
I don't know if it's something people usually do around here, but being a social and interactive medium I thought it'd be a good idea.

I am a 24 year old boy with some pretty common, if slightly nerdy, interests. These mainly consist of gaming hifi and other electronics.
Actually I work with electronics and all my disposable income goes to the two others.
My guilty pleasures are jrpg's, golf and Justin Timberlake.
Yea, and Yahtzee is totally my hero. I wish to be as well articulated as him one day and if he ever were to acknowledge my existence I would "literally" die.

Now, your turn; tell me all about the local originals and all the latest drama! =)


Reading through this I realize that I come of as a little weird, but that's ok.
Highlighted portions should be rectified, most effectively by deletion! ;--)
I kid, I kid.
Welcome to the forums, kid.(Well you do refer to yourself as boy)
There are many trolls here, so watch out - although anyone not a moron should be able to recognize them, so I guess you're in the clear :)
The only truly eloquent troll we have had in recent memory, Eggo, is gone - but you will net yourself points for bringing him up in discussion.

That's how it works here. If you know users, you're cool.

I have only one plea, very apropos, and that is that you do not become a fanboy of other users. This includes constant-posters such as Furburt and his crew of miscreants. They may seem nice and all, and they probably are, but don't worship them. Please.

You're 24 and can't use proper spelling, grammar or punctuation? Also, why is good grammar associated with Nazism? Or are we rewarding laziness and the debasement of a great language by way of routine now?

Also, hero-worshipping Yahtzee? The man's a lounge entertainer. A very funny one but not the authority on humourous critiquing.

Other than that; welcome to The Escapist! Beware the...thing.

At the risk of being call a attention whore, I already made a thread to introduce myself. I don't want to repost it here but I'll give you the link.

Also... is totally? Literally die? Justin Timberlake? Damn... That sounded like a 14 year old girl speaking about Twilight. Get a hold of yourself, man!

We aren't all speaking english. Some of us don't use it as much as you do. You can point a mistake here and there. Like this:"Thas is so avesome (BTW, it's written like this:"That's so awesome")". All that I ask is to never receive a reply saying That my english is a terrible mess that made every writers in existence to cry simultaneously. Get it?

I am Pimppeter2, and I am here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? "No" Says the man at Ebay, "it belongs to the poor". "No" says the Man at religioustolerance.org, "it belongs to God". "No" says the man at Youtube, "it belongs to everyone". I rejected those answers. Instead; I chose something different. I chose the Impossible. I chose. The Escapist. With a forum where the opinionated would not fear the censor (within reason), where the Moderators would not be bound by petty morality, where the Gone Gonzo would not be constrained by the troll. And with the ache of your fingers (and perhaps a new keyboard), The Escapist can be yours as well...

[sub]IdealistCommi's old welcome speech, gone but not forgotten. :p[/sub]

Welcome to the Escapist.
