New People, Please Introduce Yourselves

Chi Kong Lui · 08-29-2009, 05:24 PM

It's really nice to see some new folks here. Please tell us a little about yourself. Where are you from? What do you do for a living? What are your hopes and dreams?

Vince · 08-29-2009, 10:25 PM

I think it would be nice for this to be a sticky.

Arctic Blast · 08-30-2009, 02:27 AM

I guess I'll start.

Qikdraw told me about this place on another forum, so I figured I'd check it out. I'm primarily a PC gamer, but I also own a 360. Oh, and I'm an absolute sports nut.

Thought I'd drop in and say hello

Been following Brad Gallaway for a while on Twitter and browsing the site a lot so it made sense.

I'm Jen, I'm a Brit (don't hold it against me

) and 24.
My day job is working in Blockbuster (you can hold that against me

) while I finish up my Masters dissertation, and I also write for a few different gaming sites: mainly reviews but also some articles on a variety of different subjects.

I've got all the current generation consoles and game on my PC a bit although mainly just MMORPGs these days. Basically I'll play pretty much anything and everything but my favourite is the RPG genre.

Bit of a lurker on forums but I read plenty

Good to see some new posters! Hope more of you lurkers decide to join in the discussion. Being on GameCritics since 2001 (2000 maybe?) I can say it is one of my favorite sites anywhere on the web. It is the only site I post to on any regular basis and I always feel welcome on the forums. The regulars always provide a thoughtful, respectful conversation about videogames (and other topics should you so choose). So, once again, I hope more of you lurkers become regulars. Welcome!

Hi all,

I've been reading Gamecritics since the past 2 or 3 years and have finally decided to join the forums. I'm Portuguese and currently living in Spain. I've been playing games since my 5 years old and I'm particularly found of old school adventure games and all things Nintendo but I'm really eclectic. The last great game I played? Probably, Braid.

See you in the forums

@cheska You're a Pinay? Mabuhay. From what part of the Philippines did you come from?

shun · 09-22-2009, 12:10 AM

@chezka do you speak Tagalog/Filipino/any of our languages?

eaps · 09-22-2009, 03:34 PM

I'm Eaps. I'm an opera singer (a tenor) and I have a day job where I work with Chi. He got me hooked up with the site.

I had to take a hiatus from any serious gaming over the last couple of years due to the singing training but now I'm getting a chance now that I'm a bit more settled down.

It's been great to follow the posts and discussions here. Glad to be a part of it!

Kin Korn Karn · 09-22-2009, 05:53 PM

Oh you know it wasn't crazytown untill you came along

In all seriousness though its great to see some new faces (Avatars?) floating around the place. And its great seeing new posts every day rather than once every few days.

Soooooo. All you guests, come play! We don't bite (Well Shun does sometimes, but we're training him up

) And welcome to all of the new members! This place is getting lively again and its great to see!

And now...I'm going back to the bar.

Adelleda · 10-01-2009, 06:06 PM

I didn't drink too much, I drank exactly the right amount to make me forget most of the night and wake up this afternoon with a killer headache and a fast food craving. I bloody love freshers week.

HI

DR.GAME@101 here. I'm here to prove that the PS2 will never die as long as you play awesome games. And that the PSP is a machine that's underated and it an amazing machine as long as you don't buy crappy games.

I have been made fun of because I don't have a PS3 but never slowed me down from showing everyone that PS2 and PSP are still cool. My goal is to become a game reviewer for IGN or Reviews on the Run (links below)

Notes:
- I'm not a Doctor
- I can't afford a PS3 so don't bother me

Zatun_Jai · 10-30-2009, 06:32 AM

Hi,

My name is Ayush and I am from Zatun, a video game development company in India.

We have developed a 2D action adventure arcade game for PC titled – “ The Legend of Vraz ". This game was created using the Microsoft XNA framework and features an enthralling gameplay of 6-8 hours set in exotic locales.

We have our in-game videos and screenshots online at: http://zatungames.com/
