So, after coming back to the forums more regularly after only dwelling in the user groups for many many months, I came to the realization that I...well, I quite frankly don't know any of the newer users or the people that became regulars while I'd been away. The recent threads about Community Awards confirmed that, as I was unfamiliar with all but a handful of people nominated, and even then it was mostly simply recognizing the name and nothing more.
So, in a bid to get us all more acquainted, I propose a mass introduction to each other. You may provide as much or as little information about yourself as you want, but obviously the more about you we know, the better. This is open to all members; new, old, well known, "nobodies", everyone!
I'll start. *ahem*
Hello there! My name is Nathan, but everyone on the net just ends up calling me Ty. I've been a part of the Escapist site since 2008, back when De-Rez and Yahtzee were the only things worth watching. I've been prominent members of both The Escapist Gaymers and the Furrehs (the latter of which I also founded). I've been in a relationship for four, coming up on five years with an amazing guy ^_^ (not on this site).
I mostly spend my days gaming or browsing the net as any good, unemployed person in their early 20's would do. But my aspirations are to one day write professionally, either as a critic/reviewer or as a full fledged novel/screenplay writer. I've been trying to write short stories recently to build my skill and confidence as a writer.
My interests seems to be all over the nerdy spectrum, but my main interests are action gaming, anime, and following pro wrestling. Incidentally, my favorite animes are Azumanga Daioh and Haruhi, but if Baccano! stays quality, then I'll have to add that. I'm also an avid fan of Star Trek and Doctor Who (along with a lot of other BBC panel shows like QI and NMTB)
IRL I'm kinda of quiet to other people, not wanting to get in others way or be a bother. In private I can get loud when I open up and have a good conversation with others.
On any social site or gaming network, my name is the same as it is here. If it's a major one then there's no doubt it's me. But if there's someone named "TheTygerfire" on some random dating site or something, it's not me.

I trust that's enough about myself, but feel free to ask me anything else if you'd like, here or in Private Message. Other than that, I leave this topic to all of you. Best case scenario, we find people with similar interests we can talk to and build me friendships between members. Again, be as detailed or as brief as you want. Thanks for reading, and hopefully this goes somewhere
