Hi, I'm Larenxis. I joined only 11 days after PurpleRain, but I have less than half his post count and of course a tiny fraction of his popularity. (I'm living in a shadow, man!) I'm always up for helping new writers, so if you want to PM your review before you show it to the big, bad world please do. I'm also a girl, which I thought was well known, but then my friend Ultrajoe said "Larenxis has it all sorted, PM him for details" so I thought I'd just mention it again.

Hi, I joined 7(ish) months ago and still only have 9 posts, even though I check the forums every day. Now 10, I guess.

Yes, I lurk that much.

When I found out I could I just had to. And nobody's caught on to me yet... Except you I guess.

My shadow is large and powerful and can move on its own free will (like Dracular's).

I guess I'm either:
A) Very well learned and have an opinion on many topics or
B) A post count whore.

I'd probably go with the latter.

Hi I am Reasonable Doubt. I joined on the fourth and I post a lot (As you can see I already went gonzo in less than a month) and I joined for some RP and for also of course ZP which I like a lot only because Yahtzee is unbiased and would say things other reviewers might not say about the same game take for example X-Play said SSBB was perfect and gave it five stars out of five stars and praised the gameplay as fun and Addictive while Yahtzee pointed out the flaws that would and could possibly make the game horrible to play with others.

Another lurker here. I read a lot, almost never post (see count). I also watch a lot of the videos. I've been playing RPGs of the paper and video varieties since the 80s, and love 'em. If and when I post, that's probably what it'll be about.

Thebobmaster beat you man... infact I think he's beaten everyone, even that news posting troll we all love.

Anyway, I've been on the Escapist for oh... half a year now so I don't think I need to introduce myself but I will tell you a secret.

Hi Fire Thomas Daemon.

Yeah, you would have thought they would have banned that troll by now. He's made hundreds of threads and keeps posting links to everything... yeah that jokes gone cold now.

Hmm...why not?

Hi ya! I'm Psychochef. I'm 27, from Louisiana, and I'm a semi-chef (a chef who has no certificate saying he's gone to school to become a chef). I enjoy intelligent conversation and human information. I'm also a firm believer that, though the internet does provide us with a certain degree of anonymity, that's no excuse to be a jerk online. (Unless it's another jerk who's really, REALLY asking for it.) I'm also a bit of a smartass. But I'm sure some of you have figured that out already.

Edit: I ALWAYS like to talk shop. So if anyone wants any cooking advice or good recipes, just message me!

Hi...(insert awkward silence)

As you can see im new here, and I came over as an Unforgotten Realms fanboy (and thank you Escapist for actually giving him a reason to make more videos). Anyway, I've been a lurker as well here, but no more. I've recently given up my addiction to MMORPGs, and have used this site as my nicotine patch. Oh, and for those of you wondering yes I do put the std in stud :P.

I joined a couple of months ago because I'd been searching for an intelligent forum and finally found one. I really enjoy reading posts without having to translate from internet jargon to English.

I'm a female game store worker from the U.S. Don't worry, I probably like my company less than you do. Hmm... let's see... I'm 19 years old and in my second year of college as both an English and a Japanese major. I haven't quite decided whether I want to tack Education onto that just for shits and giggles yet. I enjoy both reading and writing fiction, which is why I decided to take on English as a major, and I enjoy having money to spend, which is why I chose Japanese (translators make roughly $70,000 a year).

I'm a bit of an insomniac and do most of my posting on here between the end of good television and beginning of normal human activity. around here, that means between 6-8 am. So, if I stop making sense, it's safe to assume that I need to go to bed. Like around now.

EDIT: Oh yes, my name is Lauren. I haven't been very shy about saying it, yet for some reason I forgot to mention it in my original post. Silly me.

Pah, you call that living in a shadow? I joined months before you, and I've got, like, a fourth of your post count, and well under an eighth of Purp's. That's how you do overshadowed.

I am Duck Sandwich. I joined the same day as Larenxis (who I have also mistaken for a guy at one point. Whoops.), but I have less than half her post count and of course a tiny fraction of her popularity. :P

I am probably the first (and only person) ever to have written a haiku about my namesake. Here it is.

Behold, they are one

Among my hobbies/things that I do are running, walking, chugging V8, sports, work, kickboxing, and of course games. I often try to make plans to hang out with friends, but for reasons completely beyond my control, these plans nearly always fail. I have more failed plans than a Saturday morning cartoon villain.

Hey, I'm Bob Saget, but you can just call me Bob Saget. I was bumming around the pages of Adventure Game Studio, and I thought I'd give this game called 5 Days A Stranger, by some Yahtzee guy, a try, and I soon got hooked on the series like heroin. I then somehow found his site, fullyramblomatic.com, and while exploring the site it led me to his Zero Punctuation reviews which led me to join this forum. Quite a nice site if I do say so myself. =P

Hello, my name is Saskwach and I'm a postaholic. I seem to do most of my work in the editing screen, so to parrot a man much smarter than me, I have little to say but a lot to add.
My first and middle name combine to make the name of an excellent AFL player, but since I trust none of you I will never say which player.
I just left the forums for 5 days and it was a very good 5 days. I'm sure these facts are unrelated.

Hi, CatmanStu here. I got into this website through watching ZP.
"Yawn, oh look another Yahtzee arse kisser"
So what if I am? He is jaded about games like me and hates most online gaming like me.
"Yeah, yeah. You probably laugh every time the words cock, turd and fuck are mentioned as well."
No, no. I am not some toilet humour obsessed British stereotype who laughs at all the Carry On movies; and so what if I think Rob Schneider is a genius. I don't care what you think and I'm not listening any more. That's right, take your judgemental eyes and superior knowledge and fuck off. You heard me.

I think I may have been projecting slightly.

PS - in response to j-e-f-f-e-r-s (that's a pain in the arse to type by the way) comment about typing like the Hulk, with fingers the size of the Hulks I think it would probably look more:

Oh! That explains it! You know...all the posts that you make that don't make any sense whatsoever and are a detriment to the community were due to insomnia, not due to you being a total dolt.

Little known fact, when I don't get sleep I launch personal attacks on people online without provocation or reason.

You know I luv ya baby!

Another little known fact, when I don't get enough sleep I develop multiple personalities.

Yo. I'm pretty new I guess. I was attracted to this site by Yahtzee, which is not to say that I'm attracted TO Yahtzee.... although that hat... that HAT!

Yeah, I don't post too much. I'm kind of a lurker I guess? Depends on if the topic is on something I can say that hasn't already been said. Otherwise I just like to make dumb jokes and goof around. I'm pretty easy going, don't really like to argue much. Discuss, sure. Argue, no thanks. Wastes too much time.

Uhh, so yeah. Figured as far as forums go, the community here is better than a lot of the other places on this lovable internet of ours. Plus the discussion is better. No "zomg, Mastur Ch33f 4 PREZ PLZ" topics.

SALUTATIONS!!!

I am new here (DO NOT CONTRADICT ME!). I am Montgomery, people call me Monte. I am a capricorn! I'm also an exceptionally skilled astrologer so I actually know what being a capricorn entails.

I joined because I saw a preview of ZP on X-play and they said to go to this site. I MUST OBEY!

In all seriousness though, I've been here for about a month (joined on the first of June) and I've really been enjoying it.

Oh, and when I get tired, I get SPASTIC!

... I'm not tired though ...
