Introduce Yourself! (or: Better Know Your Fellow Members)

[TheSteeleStrap]

Alright then
I'm TheMightyAtrox
I use that name because it's my Xbox Live gamer tag. I was considering changing that, but to change the gamer tag requires MS points, so I'm in no hurry. I have better uses for my money. (If anyone feels that they need more friends whom they have never met, feel free to add me)
I'm 24 and live in North East Ohio, USA
I have an Associates degree in Web Development but am not currently usoing it. After being laid off and unemployment, I'm back into the wonderful world of retail.
I'm huge into music. Pretty much all kinds. I appreciate talent, regardless of genre. It's all music to me.
That's a nice little intro I guess.

 

[Nouw]

Hello there Nathan. Nice to see you returning since you're someone I remember back from '09. I also liked, I still do, your avatar!

Moving on, I am Nam Woon. I'm Korean but I live in New Zealand. Came here when I was two but I can still speak a fair amount of my first language. I like playing video games, both PC and Xbox 360. I used to game avidly on the NDS and PSP. I still have 'em! I also like listening and playing music. I like singing, playing the Clarinet and the Piano. I sometimes blow my Melodica. Artists I like are Daft Punk, Gorillaz, Beastie Boys, Megadeth and Pink Floyd to name by first five.

I'm a fan of military science fiction which is admittedly my niche in reading books. Doesn't apply as 'badly' in watching films, I don't really have a big preference.

Snip

That's strange, I noticed that at the end there is a Korean proper-noun for a used-to-be-popular soda.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

I don't feel safe telling you my real name, though I can say it starts with "10". On the Internet I go by either "NerfedFalcon" or some variation on my current handle. It's a long story. I've been a PC gamer of sorts since I was about five years old, though at the time I was mostly just playing what my parents thought I'd like rather than actually making decisions about what I wanted to play. It's why I happen to have a copy of pretty much every Lego game ever created (except Harry Potter 5-7.) Right now I don't play them that often myself since I just find them too easy, but my sister likes that about them and sometimes I play co-op with her on the Wii.

I joined this site because I'd heard about Zero Punctuation (forget where) and mostly just watched his videos. After a while, though, I started poking my head into forum threads that popped up in the sidebar and registered to post in them. I also started watching Extra Credits (and kept watching after they moved to Penny Arcade), Moviebob's stuff and I also watched all of Jim Sterling's show on the day each episode came out. I guess his "arrogant annoying bastard" persona warmed up to me a lot faster than anyone else.

Right now, I'm hoping that Ubisoft don't screw up the PC port of Far Cry 3, though since it's Ubisoft that's kind of unlikely. If they do, I can fall back on Bioshock Infinite, and both of them will get overridden if that Pokemon crossover gets localised to Australia. I have too many damn games in my backlog, so I'm only going to buy one of this year's "blockbusters" all year.

 

[Clinky]

I was hoping this kind of thing would pop up. I've really wanted to make some friends on this site. =D

Just call me Bri. I'm a nineteen year old college student studying Illustration with dreams of one day working in conceptual art for games or animation, comic books, children's book illustration, or goodness knows all of the above if at all possible.

I've actually been lurking around The Escapist for a pretty good while, back around when Yahtzee didn't have too many videos. I would poke around the forums every now and again but never really looked at the whole site. Well eventually I started to and after a while I did sign up. As you can tell by my join date I am pretty darn new so I'm still getting used to how some things go around these forums and actually interacting with the members of the site.

My interests include Reading(just about anything sci-fi or fantasy, though I have gotten picky as of late), animation(Both the Eastern and the Western varieties), sewing, comics, and of course video games. The video games I love are usually either platformers or some kind of action adventure game. Heavy on the adventure part. =D Though I am open to just about any kind of game to try at least once. To name some favorites I enjoy just about anything by Insomniac Games, Persona 3 Portable, Okami, Legend of Zelda, and as of right now the Sam and Max adventure games.

For those who might be curious my favorite animations are FLCL, Sgt. Frog, ANYTHING BY GENNDY TARTAKOVSKY, and anything by Craig McCracken.

I'm also open for questions or just chatting really, I really wouldn't mind making friends with some of the people on this site.

Edit: And for the record: I am a brony/filly/pegasister/My Little Pony: FiM fan. =) Oh and I'm a huge Doctor Who fan. I own at least three posters. XD

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Hi-ya I'm Blumiere. I was born and raised in the United States of America (Ohio). I was lurking around since 2007 joined in 2008. My life story is on of dark, mysterious, and a horrible middle school. I enjoy music (The Black Angels, David Bowie, The Doors), movies, puttin on the ritz, I am a thespian( I know what I said) and a member of its society. I learning history, a lot. I'm of German decent. Also stay out of my basement....BLECK!

 

[Generic_Username]

I'll just skip my name. I'm a guy from eastern Europe who has a tendency to share too much personal information about himself on the internet. I'm 17 and like video games (this is obvious), photography and music. One day I'll probably be famous for curing a disease. Be ready.

I joined the site a while ago but I didn't really get into it until recently. I may have made a post or two but I don't even remember.

I watch TV shows. Especially Showtime. Bonus points for anyone who can identify the character in my avatar (not that difficult). My favorite games are the Final Fantasy, Zelda, Uncharted and Mass Effect series.

Open to chatting or questions should you have any, but be warned that my knowledge is limited.

Whoever says they've read through ALL of these posts is a LIAR.

 

[AstylahAthrys]

Hey. I'm Kelly, a young lady just about to turn 20. I've been playing video games since I was a wee little lass. My ambition is to be an animator. Hobbies of mine besides gaming are baking, writing, drawing, reading and wasting time on the internet. I live in a hick small town where it snows too much and I want to move out to Austin, TX once I finish my degree.

 

[Kuroneko97]

I'm Briana, sometimes nicknamed Bribri by my family. I'm a 14-year-old girl.

I use the computer to surf the internets in hopes of satisfying my curiosity, although this has led to many destroyed childhood memories. I also use it to listen to music and type stories. The story I've been focusing on in one called Bella Magica, and I'm hoping it can get published when I finish.

I'm positive I have OCD, as I must do certain things before going to bed (length of toothbrush must be equally balanced compared to the faucet, xBox controller aligned with desk, keyboard pushed up to monitor, etc.) and I cannot relax without doing so. I'm very paranoid, to the point that I keep the TV on in fear of being attacked by something, whether it be the doctor from The Human Centipede or a pair of twins sewn together into one body. I'm self-conscious and think very lowly of myself at times.

I'm very lazy, to the point that I still haven't finished this work I promised to another user on the escapist, and I'm only 1/5 through it. I promised it about a month ago. I hate the cold, since I barely have any fat to insulate myself, and I have such an addiction to sugar that I get irritable without it. I'm very perverted, often reading porn, touching myself in class, and often dreaming and fantasizing about sex (although I'm going to save myself for a good person).

I'm also kind of a nudist, and I'm Agnostic, although living in the South I prefer not to tell many people about that. I enjoy playing video games and watching anime, and in my free time or when I'm bored in class I begin to draw. I want to do more digital drawings when I get the time. I'm aiming to become a Forensic Scientist once I graduate from college.

I know a lot about memes and tropes.

 

[TheTygerfire]

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)

What did you think of the latest Star Trek? most Star Trek fans tell me its not Star Trek, but to me it felt like Shatner era Star Trek! I loved it!

Loved the new movie, can't wait for this years either ^_^

 

[NotSoLoneWanderer]

Oh! Why hello there Escapees.

My name is Kwaku A.K.A TheNotSoLoneWanderer (I usually have at least one follower with me in Fallout games)

Just turned 16 and not liking it. Frankly I miss nothing at all in Kindergarten. I regret never napping then because I sure wish I could take a quick nap in school sometimes but I learn by half listening in class so I can't.

I'm currently a student at Sacred Heart High School of which there are many. Born in California with a Ghanaian father and a Puerto Rican mother. Walking the line between my strict traditional and well educated Ghanaian family and my equally well educated but much less strict Puerto Rican family.

I'm very smart but somewhat lazy in school. I...I should probably be doing some homework right now...

I play football and lift weights when the season is over. I don't care much for it but my school convinced me to do it Freshmen year and I might as well finish.

I like video games, reading books, making levels and standalone games (more like one or two "levels") with the unreal engine with friends, sometimes writing books but I can never write anything without feeling like I'm just following trodden literary paths. Whenever I try writing something completely different I don't know whether or not it's good or not and I don't really want to show it to people.

I can taught myself how to play the piano a little but I never have a chance to practice and my school doesn't like when I play Fur Elise no matter how beautifully on the old piano in the lunchroom. It's the only song I really remember how to play.

That's about it Alright back to Battlefield 3! Away!!!

 

[OneOfTheMichael's]

Hey I'm mike or Michael.
I enjoy science-fiction an fantasy shows such as Doctor who, being human, and sanctuary. I play tons of videogames such as skyrim, assassins creed, WoW (sometimes) and fallout.
I enjoy reading, watching youtube videos, and other things that keep my eyes occupied.

I've been on this website for a while, first found this site on the day the first arcade apocalypse episode was shown.
But I haven't joined officially since a few summers ago.
Also I try to be friendly, a good listener, and helpful if you need advice or tips on any of the games I mentioned above,

[Dango]

Hello, I'm Wyatt. I don't really have much interesting to say, but I'll try my best.

I'm 16, I live in America, and I'm addicted to the Escapist. I tend to stick to forum games, but will also come into off-topic and game discussion every once in a while. I play lots of games on Steam (Probably more than is healthy...), mostly historical strategy, feel free to add me as a friend.

Also, I love anime, Clannad being my favorite, and starfish.

...Starfish.

And I may or may not be extremely paranoid, you'll just have to find out <.<

 

[BOOM headshot65]

Hello, I am Keegan M*bleep*. Or As I am known on here and Xbox LIVE, BOOM headshot65. Why that? Well, I am a thinking man in my games, thus I usually snipe when I play shooters. And '65 is shortened of 1965, the year that I really started to hate my fellow Americans outside of the south and midwest (even though I wasnt alive for it)

Now than, I live in rural Northeast Kansas. I really dont care saying that. Theres literally more cattle than humans here, so the odds of someone finding me on the various farms and ranches is slim. The odds of them surviving are even slimmer, considering I know where my dad keeps the guns, and know how to use them, and we are a state with Castle Doctrine. *you have been warned*

I am an 18 year old, Traditional Republican. For those not in the know, That means I take after Reagan and Eisenhower when I comes to politics, although I thought Bush wasnt as bad as people make him out to be.

I am a Rabid (yes Rabid, not avid) fan of the military and military history of the United States.(although, I dont really want to join the military.) My favorite wars to research are WW2, the Civil War, and Vietnam. I am planning to go to college and get a degree in military history, then either work for a local Sheriff department or work in a local history museum.

I have aspergers but have been through therapy to control it. I help mentor other kids at my school with learning disabilities in a class called Interpersonal Skills. (IPS)

I have a girlfriend who is roughly the same age as me (2 months younger) who I have been dating for close to a year now, and that we like to joke I must be a guy clone of her, or she is a girl clone of me, considering we are so similar its scary.

I am also a Theist. I believe in A God, A Devil, A Heaven and Hell, but dont think that one religion is right. I believe everyone, except for truely evil people get into Heaven. As for morals though, I follow the 10 commandments of Chrisitanity with a splash of Buddism in the form of Karma.

I spend my free time studying military history, think of stratagies, and using said stratagies in my games (my favs: RUSE, all command and conquers, Dynasty warriors:Gundam 3), and watching anime in the form of Gundam, Full Metal Alchemist, Halo: Legends, and Red vs. Blue.

I hope this will help people understand me, Keegan M*bleep*, better. If you have any other questions (other than what my last name REALLY is) feel free to ask.

 

[iwinatlife]

I'm Iwinatlife also known as Ian. The user name came about when my friends decided i clearly win at life for being hit by a truck and living. I'm 19 and unfortunately live in texas but fortunately live in Austin.

I like Reading playing strategy games rpgs and most recently TOR

 

[Lord_Nemesis]

Lord_Nemesis at your service good folk of the Escapist.

Real name is Andrew, 22, white. I hail from Scotland, born and bred in Glasgow. I'm a naval engineering officer aboard merchant ships (any and all). Been part of the Escapist ever since watching some of Zero Punctuation's videos on YouTube and then tracking it back here.

I've been a gamer since I was 4 and my Dad let us play the Nintendo. Will play pretty much anything except sports games, I actually like to PLAY my sports. Enjoy pretty much anything else geekish; comics, anime, books etc etc. BUT, not really into the whole model board-game thingy (Warhammer, DD etc.). I'm also really into tattoos.

Not really into religion, I have beliefs but I don't think there is a proper name for my EXACT beliefs. Taoism comes the cloesest probably.

I'm single, though not by choice, girls seem to come and go in my life. Most probably due to my job... and thats pretty much all I can think to say. Message me if I'm cool enough

Peace Out.

 

[Roxas1359]

Hello, my name is Erik and yes it is spelled Erik because that is the Scandinavian spelling...wait, what was I originally typing? Oh right:
I lurked the Escapist starting towards the end of 08 and didn't officially join in 09. I'm 17 years old and am in my last semester of high school. I've come to know many others on the site, some gone but I still try to keep in touch with them. Nowadays I tend to spend my time in the Forum Games section, having fun with others in some of the Forum Games. Like some others I joke about how addicted I am to this site and how I always keep at least two tabs open on my Touch for the Escapist. My user name, Neronium, was not my original name for the Escapist; I used to be Maxieon and at times I'm still called Max by my friends. I'm open to people PMing me if they want to talk so yeah...man I suck at self-introductions.

 

[Magnus]

I'm a 42 year old male with Asperger's Syndrome into games (of course), Tod Slaughter films, Art-House films,B-Movies, Metal, a little Techstep D 'n' B, Noise and Conan/H.P. Lovecraft.
And I'm heavily into Nurse With Wound/Grails/Neurosis/Kvelertak/Sunn O))). And I'm a bit of s.t.a.l.k.e.r. obssesive. Oh, and Magnus is my real name.

 

[TipsyRam]

Ello people. I'm Whitney and I love everything horror, Bruce "don't call me ash" Campbell, zombie, and Evil Dead related. My usual routine right now is wake up, play SWTOR and then pass out... with maybe a little food somewhere thrown in ^_^ Right now I'm taking just a little break to play Kuon; which i'm sad that I have not played till now cause its amazing. I do game videos (just started but they are doing pretty well). I also love using photoshop to make zombie pictures. I'm married to a wonderful man that was the one that unleashed my true geek and who is the s**t at Ultimate MvC3. If i'm not playing games then i'm watching Day[9], yogscast and stuff about Slenderman. Zippers scare the crap out of me and I throw my controller at ppl when playing fighting games when i lose... so needless to say no one ever wants to play me O_O (this means I win in my head ^_^)

.....so if you don't want to read all that crap then just know this... I'M AWESOME... that's all you really NEED to know.

Later guys.
