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

[Philol]

Hello, I'm Philol

My real names Philip, though everyone calls me Phil.

I'm 18, from Britain (more specifically Beverley in England), I love gaming (PC takes preference, but I have a PS3 too), browsing sights, spending time with mates, drinking, spending time with my family, I enjoy music coming from 40s - 50s Britain and America, such as Vera Lynn and the Ink spots, but I also enjoy classical music such as Pachelbel's Canon in D major.

I'm a quite person around most, unless I know you well enough to be able to talk to you, although if I'm pissed the words just flow out... I have slight OCD, everything has to be in the perfect spot and maintained to a sufficient level.

I'm currently studying History at Teesside University to get my Honours degree, and afterwards I'm thinking of going for a Doctorate in History. (It's my passion in life, if you hadn't guessed)

I hope to one day have a wife and kids and live in the North West of England somewhere in the country where it's nice and quiet.

[Luke3184]

Hello everyone. Im Kouriichi. Im married and have no children, i enjoy long walks on the beach.... in skyrim, loud music played at a moderated level, and building things in minecraft to flaunt my ever-growing stacks of diamond blocks.

My favorite bands/people of all time are:

Gnarls Barkley, Rob Zombie, The Gazette ((

Spoiler

for those of you who havent heard of them)), Ville Valo, Dani Filth, and of course Dick Valentine.

I think the Might Morphin Power Ranges is one of the best series ever produced, and the Power Rangers movie ((1995)) is one of the greatest masterpieces of modern cinema.

I have to many hobbie, ranging from Wannabe videogame programmer, WH40k collector, Interior decorator and of course, Professional womanizer. (( Hay babeh, whats got a dozen tentacles and loves to be watch? ;D My pronz collections.)) <--Works every time, give it a try.
Oh, and horribly tasteless comedian/troll who follows his own bad advice.

And thats about it. Relieving anything more would violate my confidentiality agreement with the Lobster Republic of Freespeech based in Lake Michigan. They dont care about me talking about them, they just dont want me telling to much about myself.

I just thought I'd say, seeing as you're (sort of) here that your Skyrim anecdotes have been one of my favourite things about the forums for the last month or so... You should definitely set up a blog or the like....

 

[mParadox]

Hello, hi, how are you?

I'm mParadox, you can call me Para. Or mPara. Or mParadox. Whichever works.

I'm a college student, lurked here for 6 months prior to joining this illustrious site. Currently doing medical, the cynical reason being that I can inflict pain legally and the innocent reason being to inflict pain on people for their protection.

During my time here, I've written about 30 reviews concerning Anime, Games and movies. I've also scribed the Rules of the Forum Games. I've also had the honour of hosting one of the most successful games on the Forum Games. The Ban Game. It is dead now, sadly enough. Oh well.

I mainly listen to rock, although I've started taking a liking to dub step. Or metal dub. Korn's doing it with their latest album and it's actually coming out good.

I enjoy playing video games, although at the time of this writing I have gamer burnout. i.e. I don't want to play any game of any kind. I love to read books, book of any genre is fine with me. Although, I have a soft spot for thrillers and horror novels. Even though, admittedly, I haven't too many of either genre. Must rectify that.

Anyway, it was great to meet you, the person reading this. And know this, I'm watching you. Oooohhh yeees. o.o

Did I mention I enjoy humour to a very large extent? :3

 

[Jukedex]

Ok, I'll bite, since I'm new to these boards. Well I just lately registered, but I have been lurking here for at least couple of years.

Hello, I'm Jukedex. My real first name is Jukka and I'm a Finn. I'm 32 year old Software Designer.

My hobbies are gym, guitar playing, gaming and reading. I also like other sports, but my recently acquired disability prevents me to doing most sports that requires heavy leg usage. Still, even with one wrecked leg I can keep myself in shape with gym training.

I used to listen lots of metal. Finnish band called Mokoma is maybe my favorite in that genre. Lately I haven't found anything interesting new metal to listen, so I have started to listen also different music. Mostly maybe classic style music.

In gaming I play games of almost all genres. I specially enjoy games with good stories, but I don't shun away from occasional mindless shooters or other similar games. Only genres I haven't played lately are sports, racing and beat 'em up games. Currenlty I'm not interested in any games though. Although this should pass again soon and I will pick up some interesting game again.

Terry Pratchett is my favorite author and I have read almost all of his books.

Pleasure to meet you all

[CrazyJew]

Hello there, fine ladies and gentlemen, my name is Mike, I am 17 years old. I live in Israel and am due to be conscripted no later than early 2013. I can't tell you much about my personality, since people tell me it changes a lot. I don't live my life, I act it, and everything I do I do for the hell of it.

Only 5 things about me stay the same:

I would go gay for Freddie Mercury

I love philosophical debates

I will die before I let a government take my personal freedoms.

Dishonor a woman around me and I throw pacifism out of the window.

Don't offer me chocolate. I love chocolate. I will assume you are trying to seduce me.

 

[Sonicron]

Eh, might as well.

Name's Lorenz. I'm German, 25 years old and an aspiring teacher; at the current rate of progress I'll have my 'Master of Education' degree by the end of 2013.

I discovered the Escapist back in 2008, when someone on the 'Dawn of War 2' forums linked me to one of Yahtzee's videos, and after a few months of lurking I joined the forums and have been a happy member of this great community ever since.
Aside from games (unsurprisingly), my hobbies extend to playing the guitar (and some dabbling in bass guitar), pen&paper RPGs, reading (mostly sci-fi novels) and writing game reviews; if anyone would care to read some, send me a message and I'll PM you a link to the site that publishes my reviews - as it stands I'm not 100% sure if I'm allowed to post the link openly here.
On top of it being fun, I write reviews for the same reason I watch Zero Punctuation - it boosts my English skills and keeps me well ahead of about 96% of my fellow university students. On the whole I guess I'm a bit obsessed with the English language... I don't presume to have the same vocabulary as a native speaker, but within the boundaries of my abilities I've actually been thinking and dreaming in English for several years now. Don't ask me why or how, it just happened, I'm flummoxed at this development myself.

Oh yes, one more thing: I'm a Warhammer 40.000 nut. It's probably my biggest hobby by now; I don't play the tabletop game, but the Black Library novels have me hooked - I've got well over a hundred of them on my shelf by now.

As for myself as a person... well, it depends on my mood somewhat, but for the most part I'm a jolly big guy. I'm a cynic, granted, but the nice kind; my views on the world and humanity may not be favourable, but I figure that doesn't mean I have to be an ass about it. According to my friends I'm also fun at parties and nights out... so if you're ever in my area, drop me a line and we'll have a beer or twelve. ^^

 

[Blow_Pop]

....stuffed toys? :/

get out...NOW

Hey, I just happen to have a few of them, and I never bought any of them for myself.

OHHHH SURE

thats what they all say

(Im watching you)

Shit...that makes 5 parties conducting surveillance on me this week... >.>;;;;

not counting people like me who have already had surveillance on you for a while?




OT:

I'm April Marie (first and middle name which is what I go by) or Bunny depending on who you talk to. Or Blo(w) Pop if you talk to my Haunt family.

Female
27 tomorrow
Aspirations to move out of this hell hole they call California and hopefully move out to the UK. Ideally I'd like to be near Glasgow but I'll move to wherever I can find work out there once I get my work visa.
Unemployed at the moment still looking for work.
Complete ***** but once you get to know me I'm a really nice person underneath it all, just tired of dealing with a lot of the shite I deal with.
I have a shite ton of posters around my room...and books....and some games....and collectible stuff.
and I really have no fucking idea what to say when introducing myself.
extrovert online but offline very much an introvert.

 

[Shadowcreed]

Sure, I can drop in on this.

Hey there, my name is Kevin, male, 19 years young and was born in the Netherlands.
Got myself into college at the Technical University in Eindhoven, and its currently my freshmen year. Doing a study called Software Science. As you might have guessed from that name I'm quite into gaming and movies, as long as its tech-savvey I'll join in on the conversation.
For some reason I cant really get myself to concentrate on most of it though, as I'm a bit lost within myself for now. These are the moments in life where you choose who you'll be and quite frankly I have no idea who I am or who I want to be. For now I'll just go with the flow and hopefully find myself a girl in the near future. I'm someone who's very open-minded, I'm not one to judge quickly.

That's pretty much it

Nice to meet you all and have a good one over at the Escapist Forums!

[Burn2Feel]

Yo, I'm Tom but most call me Kendall (due to excessive number of Toms. Seriously, 5 in one class ¬¬)
I go by Burn2Feel, devilsnevercry or KendallKun depending on what site I'm on
Found out about the Escapist a few years ago, but joined in 2010 just for the forums
Roman Catholic (please hold ALL jokes for my inbox, I love a bit of banter)
Big fan of metal and trance-y sounds; so Enter Shikari, Bring Me The Horizon, and a bit of Punk go down nicely
Currently at my last year of 6th Form, hoping to go onto an English Literature with Creative Writing course when I'm done, if not then I shall buy an office chair and glue myself to it for a year
Anime fan, though I prefer the manga version of most that were adapted (less/no filler)
Gamer, I dislike horror games (I see no reason to scare yourself when playing a game, but I'm fine with creepy or shocking things in a game) but I am partial to my online games- KendallKun on XBL if you wanna add me or whatever. Or don't, your call.

I'd like to be near there mostly because I love the accent and I like the general area. And I've always wanted to live in Scotland. Likely hood of me actually getting work there is not very high so I will settle with anywhere in Scotland, Wales, or England. I'd say Ireland too but anywhere north of Dublin and I can't understand the accent unless they talk very very slow and annunciate well. And I'd like to be somewhere near to Loch Lomond because come on, its bloody beautiful and everything I want out of somewhere I'm living.

 

[Griffolion]

Name's Andy, i'm 22 (going on 23 on the 16th of this fine month), studying games development with a view to entering the industry (obviously).

England is my country.

I'm a fan of many games, I mainly do my gaming on my PC. I also do a bit of mobile gaming on my phone/tablet.

I'm a gadget & hardware enthusiast, you'll see me on the comments section in many an Engadget article.

I enjoy airsoft, it makes me feel manly one day a month.

Single, obviously. Always watching out for a lovely lady to brighten my days.

I think that's about all you guys are interested in.

 

[Infernai]

Greetings and salutations to you. My name is infernai, and I am from Australia.

I'm basically the local resident insane guy who the rest of the site just tries to forget exists, although like everybody else here I'm a rather avid gamer. I'm also currently writing a script/story for a game that me and a few friends are working on.

[Kris015]

'Sup, I'm Kris015, my real name is F*ckwad (Yes, my name has a * in it) and I like video games and I play the drums. I also really like music (mostly metal) and.. stuff. I am really skinny and tall and I have really long blond hair. I also like the word 'really' really much. My body is male even though in my mind I'm also male.
That's it I guess.

By that logic shouldn't you try and fight for your right to not be forced into the army? (assuming of course you do not want to be in it)
To me it amazes me how Israel's citizens and those of other countries let there governments get away with forcing them into there countries army. As much as I hate my own country for all the shit we pull it is thankfully something the US does not do anymore. (yes they did it in the past but they do not in the present)

Wellp, fighting is pointless since I just get jailed. Besides, it only does me good, since I am intelligent enough to get the smart-kids program, which means the military pays for 3 years of my university education and then I serve by my profession, getting easy experience. Were it any other way I would be typing this from Canad-eh or something.

Also, is your name Bond? James Bond?
