Introduce Yourself Here!

[MichaelVash7886]

I'm Michael, as with most gaming sites, MichaelVash7886. Currently working on a second bachelor's degree in Information Systems (first was in Psychology) and trying to find a job in the area to simply have some funds for gaming. I run GamersArcadia.com, though time has been a little scarce for me due to all the school stuff. Hopefully I'll be able to put a bit more time in with it.

Also looking at learning more HTML, CSS, etc so I can do some work on my own site at the least.

Hi Jess and Michael! Welcome to Gaming Outsiders! ^_^

Actually, I guess hi to everyone! ;D

[Tomtin]

There is an idea of me; some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me: only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there.

[Blaz0135]

Hi, well im blaz0135 ive been all over the place with these boards though its been a few years since i was really into it, i just ran into the ProBoard Support ad and now im here.
Its funny cause i was actually wanting to run into a gaming forum cause thats what i do, thats what ive been getting more into, and i just got steam finally after months of being asked by all my friends.

I love anything entertainment; movies, music, games, tv, etc. I watch tons of movies, online videos, and tv shows i also have a itunes library of over 10,000 songs so if you want to talk music movies or shows just ask i can blubber away in your ear for how ever long you want.

I am currently a graduate and hopefully going to college to get degrees in both the programing and the art side of gaming but i would like specifically to go into gaming for pc/mac. Both degrees together with interlocking credits could out into the world of game developing in 2 and a half to 4 years depending on how all the credits go through.

Gaming Info:

Favorite Games: Assassins Creed(I, II , no Brotherhood yet), EOSIV: Oblivion , Prince Of Persia (All though couldn't finish Warrior Within), Dragon Age: Origins, Star Wars Battlefront (I & II ), Fable (though really short for 4 disks of game and no real feel of ending with no congrats no you won no real anything), Minecraft (cant be a gamer without loving it in some way or another)

Games Currently Playing: Star Wars Battlefront I, Terraria, Minecraft, Assassins Creed II, and steam demos

Games On-Deck: The Witcher: Collectors Edition, Prince Of Persia: The Two Thrones, POP: The Forgotten Sands, Prince Of Persia (the multi-colored 2008 version), Star Wars Battlefront II, and Star Wars: Republic Commando

Games On Wish-List: Portal, Dragon Age II, EOSV: Skyrim, Bioshock, Dungeons, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and Batman: Arkham Asylum



So that is me in a nutshell.
Sorry for the long post but it is 1am and i was bored and felt like talking.

[Setharion]

Blaz, welcome aboard man, welcome aboard excellent taste in games as well!

[Blaz0135]

Thank you, well thanks for having an awesome looking board for me to join, and ya it seeps out of long hours of boredom and a little bit of Oblivion (which mostly got me started aiming at being a full gamer)

Agreed, excellent taste in games!

Welcome to the forums

[Blaz0135]

Thank you X2

[Manny-Calavera]

Hey everyone. I'm Bruno, a 25 year old male from Portugal, working in IT.

I joined this forum with the same nickname i have in the IGN boards (i don't remember the last time i logged in there). Seth sent me an e-mail last weekend and told me about this forum (we used to talk about metal in the IGN boards), so here i am.

I love videogames, technology, gadgets, sports (yes, even american sports ), music, movies, tv series and lots of other things.

I don't know what to say more, so if you have any questions, ask me

And now i'm gonna setup my profile.

Edit: and before you ask, no, i'm not into S&M (or am i?), this nickname comes from the Helloween song called Mr. Torture

[mrdelltoid]

Glad to have you here MrTorture!

[Setharion]

Welcome Torture, so glad to have ya my brother! Up the irons!

[dunker]

The name is McHugh, a 24 year old from Baton Rouge, LA.

Attended Sewanee in Tennessee from '05 to '09, received a BA in Economics. Played football all 4 years (D3, nothing special).

I'm currently in the process of buying my first home, which is quite stressful. I work as a marketing consultant, webmaster, and circulation director for my father's newspaper and my own publication.

I enjoy video games, sports, drinking, and women (well, my GF). I'm an avid football fan, mention anything about the current state of the NFL without an upset tone and you might get hit in the face. Actually, I just have a football problem.

I currently play WoW in my off-time. I'm waffling between dropping it for more console games, or keeping it because it's cheaper. Due to the cost of the new home, it looks like the latter option is what's happening.

A little late for the introduction, but here it is. Thanks for the invite Seth, glad to be here.

[Manny-Calavera]

Thanks Seth, Deltoid for your reception.

Good luck on the new home! It's definitely stressful, but there's nothing like the feeling of owning your own home.

Also a big NFL fan, and yes I'm pissed about the labour situation. So no need to get violent!

[CoSh]

I'm CoSh, I don't do a lot right now except for a little programming. From the VN Boards I'm n00bsicle but I don't expect anyone to recognize that name unless they were on DAoC Guinevere :x.

Back in the day I worked my way through the entire MW4 series, a little MW2 and MW3, a mishmash of other games, worked my way towards DAoC, left that eventally, got into DMC3/DMC4, L4D, L4D2, Killing Floor, and nowadays I don't really play anything specific. Wouldn't mind a good MMO but there's nothing out there that really interests me (gotta try Rift, though). I don't read, I watch a moderate amount of anime (list: myanimelist.net/animelist/CoSh).

So, I don't really expect any of you to know me, but now I've introduced myself, so you have no excuse .

[Setharion]

Another great ex-DaOCer has arrived, welcomed aboard CoSh

[NeoFoxTrot]

Hey all. I'm sure most of you will know me from various gaming sites/forums. I tend to go by three handles, depending on the site. TechBone1 was my old alias on IGN, -NeoTB1- on most of the other game sites, and NeoFoxTrot, which is also my Live/PSN/Stream handle.

I'm in my early 30s, gamer (duh), married but no kids (yet), IT Professional (I get to work from home!), and I like various sports (including college football, golf, and soccer). I'm a very laid back guy, so feel free to shoot me a PM if you want to talk or game.

As for gaming, I love RPGs. They are far and away my favorite genre. JRPG, WRPG, SRPG... it doesn't matter. I also enjoy the occasional shooter (really looking forward to BF3) and Action/Adventure game. Of course, I also love me some classic platforming as well. I try not to be biased, and I'll try just about any kind of game. Gamefly has definitely helped me expand my horizons on that front.

Anyways, no need to be long winded. Looking forward to chatting with old friends and new alike!


Edit --- just saw a few of you mention DAoC! It's still my favorite MMO ever. Awesome to hang out with some other vets! My main was on Lancelot/Alb. I had a Theurgist and an Armsman.

[BlueBlade68]

BlueBlade68 here. I like Movies, TV, Books, Basketball, MMA, and Playstation 3. I live in New York and is the proud father of one son.

I was on IGN for years under the name Aubrey_Knight. There boards have been a really dead lately though.

Anyway, looking forward to some great discussions on my favorite topics.

[Setharion]

Awesome member base we are building here

Glad to have all you guys!

[jackanape]

Names Jack, I like games, novels, music, and movies. I also remember back in the day when Seth was a pest to all, I'm glad to see it's become a friendly guy whom I'd like to have a beer with one day.

[Setharion]

;D

On IGN when i think back, there was a time when i agree I would not let some threads go...it was odd, when i really believed in a certain point man i just wouldnt quit. BUT, i think i was always pretty friendly overall

Either way, welcome aboard Jack! The site is still in its infancy and we are working steadily to keep it building and progressing. Btw, let me know if youd like me to cap the J in your name. The server side of things here makes everyones name come out lowercase upon creation.
