Elitist cunts for the most part! Put me off registering for a bit then I got really bored at work one day between large projects so I decided to sign up and post a bit. Thankfully things have settled down considerably and its generally a pretty entertaining read!

My first post was about how frustrating the Meat Circus was in Psychonauts.

My first thought was probably something along the lines of
"Hey a gaming site that's NOT G4."

This was mine, improvised weapon thread:

"luckily for me, my family keeps about 1 million loaded .22s all throgh out our house, so ill probably use those(assuming i cant get to the 10 mm or the shotguns) but if all else fails, i have an obscesion with looking around for potential weapons whenever i enter a room. also, we have an aluminum baseball bat and an epic screwdriver(i shit you not, its like 2.5 feet long and about an inch thick... dont ask.) and a couple bowie knives in various places."

While everything here was true, the awful spelling, grammar and capitalization are something I'm ashamed of. I was such an immature, weapon obsessed idiot back then. I still love guns, but more from an engineering perspective and less of a killing one.

I also thought I was epic because I omitted details for most of my guns. *sigh*

I think it was something like "This site looks cool, maybe I'll hang around a bit."

Then I found Forum Games and the wonderful folk there and got sucked in for 2 years. Now I visit out of routine. :p

My first thought was "I hope they like me here, YouTube can be brutal." I was shocked at how human you all were, and not just raging elitists.

I thought "what a bunch of assholes."

Then I became one of those assholes.

And I'll never go back.

"So this is where Yahtzee lives... This place is gonna be some rot infested dunghole I bet..."

Some months later.

"Everyone on here is smarter than me... I'M NOT FREAKING USED TO THIS!!!"

Also, everyone here is civil, well, as long as you stay the fuck out of R&P. Never actually used a forum site before this because they all sucked balls, content wise and community wise.

So cheers Escapist, best community I've ever come across.


I also get to fantasize about one day killing Daystar Clarion o.o

"Hm. Seems interesting. I think I'll give it a shot."
A few weeks later, Daye.04 got me involved in the forum games.
And things just snowballed from there.

Something along the lines of;

"Wow this thread has been going for 2 pages and has yet to devolved into childish name calling, let's have a look around"

Soon followed by;

"Okay let's never go into the Religion and Politics section again"

I think I was just surprised at how nice and polite people were being. I had recently checked out 4chan for the first time, so that may have coloured my opinion a little, but still, I think people here seem to be nicer than most forums.
SO GOOD JOB EVERYONE. :)

"Wow, there are some intelligent threads here that I feel I should participate in."


Then it turned out 98% of threads are basically pointless personality tests, with news and teenage angst making up 1.5%.

The other 0.5% of threads are actually worth participating in.

I should mention I really only visit Off-Topic, since the games I buy are very few and far between these days.

"I doubt I'll stick around for very long."
Well, look how that turned out.

My first thought was, "So many different conversations. *looks further* Hey! I can actually add to these conversations!"
