Hey! A "new" thread!

I'm new!

I'm Seth, and I'll try not to get myself banned or anything.

Also, I fail to ever have anything witty to say, so don't expect too much. :)

Hey I'm relatively new here although I have posted for a little while. I am a teenager in France. I have a girlfriend, actually quite like the Wii and enjoy conversations with depth. I tend to be a bit of a smart-ass and will be quick with sarcasm (just not online that much). I listen to Punk Rock mainly and I also like Classic Rock but I have a special place in my heart for Metal. I consider Muse, Blink-182 and Metallica to be frigging awesome but my favorite song is I Hear The Bells by Mike Doughty. I really dislike chick flicks and love deep or anti-war movies. My favorite actor is Edward Norton. I joined because after reading through some of the forums I decided that these forums were good places for conversation. Also it seems that this place is devoid of trolls and I am very happy about that.

The name's Joshua Curtis and I stumbled upon this place thanks to a friend of mine whom told me about "Yahtzee" and the "Zero Punctuation" series of videos. I make it a point to watch all the videos because I want to see if its possible that he could have(and does) share the same views I do about HALO.

I'm an RPG nut by nature whether its JRPGs(Sorry Yahtzee), Western RPGs or even the FPS RPGs when I'm not playing the NHL series or watching "Hockey Night in Canada". I do enjoy a good puzzle game or casual game like "Peggle" or "Puzzle Quest" and am not opposed to trying out games to at least see if they are worth the time.

If ya want to find me around here generally you'll see me in the "Zero Punctuation" threads either defending a game or agreeing with Mr. Croshaw. Until then...

Later Days!

My names Mark, goes by Darkmark by freidns and family alike and everywhere else you can find me on the interwebs...hah.

Anyways, i found this site from a friend and started to watch Zero Punctuation and got hooked.

I am 18, go to college and learned to relax more. I am slightly morbid by nature so expect sometimes i will say something kinda dark or something weird.

I am extremely open minded and a listener, so you need an ear, i am here. (hold shit, i rhymed...) Soemtiems i can be an asshole or a smart ass so watch it...heh

I love alot of games, too many to list, and thats really it.

peace.

Hi,
I'm Carnkhan4 and like everyone else ZP dragged me in but the forum is full of great discussion and most of it is fairly intelligent, so I stayed.

I'm from England, I have the habit of drifting off topic and making cheap jokes...
<FILL IN PREDICTABLE PUNCHLINE HERE>

Try to stop me doing that ^ and insult me as much as humanly possible - I deserve it.

I never properly introduced myself to The Escapist, but my name is Steve. I like fighting and RPG games. I joined because of Zero Punctuation and stayed for the intelligent discussions and Unforgotten Realms videos.

Well that sums me up. As for gaming, i just got back into WoW, apart from that i'm a pretty massive rpg. Though anything will interest me if well crafted, which is rare these days.

Just noticed this thread.

I'm pretty new here. Just seeing what the forum is like and all. Seems like an okay place relative to the majority of internet forums out there.

A masochist, eh? You'll fit right in.

Having a look, it seems like I haven't introduced myself here. Hi, I'm Stompy, and I have a problem. I joined early this year, but lurked since last year. The Escapist attracted me with its creation of a haven for intelligent discussion. I'm somewhat obscure, and prefer the Off-topic section and News Room.

Also, a warm salutation for all the new memebers to The Escapist. Here's hoping you contribute intelligently to our discussions here.

I joined because of ZP. I stay because a majority of the inhabitants in these forums believe that the Escapist Forums are the antithesis of /b/ and more specifically /v/. I'm here to disprove that theory.

I think I missed this thread...oh well

I joined in may of this year, the 11th to be exact. Where ZP was the original lure like it is for most, it was the articles, and the intelligent community that got me to stay...

Hi I joined about two weeks ago. I'm a teenage boy from South East London and I have an afro. I post here because it seemed like a more mature society than the one I was previously posting at and I hope to expand my gaming knowledge!

I definitely don't know what to say now.

Hi there, I'm Jon; I'm not particularly new (just over two months, I think it is). I was originally directed to this site because of (that's right, you guessed it) the Zero Punctuation videos. What got me to stay was seeing some of the views in the forums that I'd looked at out of curiosity, and wanting to contribute.

So I like Rock music of almost any decription, FPS games or anything with a good multiplayer. Also majorly into writing - might even give reviewing a go on this site one day...

Hi! I just joined a few seconds ago, mainly in order to enter the slogan contest.

I'm 16 years old, Danish, and, uhm... I found this place via Zero Punctuation? (gasp shock surprise)

Yoooooo dudes

Isn't this the wrong thread to be posting in? I don't think you count as a new person, per se....Me, on the other hand.......

Hey, I'm not the oldest person in the thread; Break joined three days before me. Besides, Wilsons opened it up to us regulars.

I've been here over a year now, though I kind of went back into the shadows after awhile. So I may not be NEW but I'm REBORN. hehe ^_^ Seems like a whole new generation of posters have taken over since I've been gone so I guess I'll reintroduce myself.

I'm Tiffany, 20 and a college student, joy. I'm into art and all the small little details that go with it, being a hopeless romantic included. I'm known to be a bit sassy at times...okay okay, most of the time. I'm still very much into all sorts of games though I do tend to lean more toward old school games in the long run, I fear change. I love d2, hl and css still. More often than not I'm in one of the serevers messing around or showing the noobs how its done, hehehe >=). I'm always up for metting new people and learning something new.

I have to stop because I've done this so many times on here I can't help but feel that I'm just repeating myself again and again and again. >.<' If you REALLY want to know me go read through my old posts lol

oh, I must also say that I do miss all my old buddies on here, had some good converstaions when it was just like the 20 of us going at it about everything hehe ;)

Due to the sudden "rash" of thread from newcomers say welcome, I am here now! Love me! I am necroing this, so, you know, they stop...I guess?

Any way...

Hello, I am the monopoly guy. I don't really like Monopoly much, more Ace Ventura and, well I couldn't think of a name. My current avatar is special for the holidays, but normally it's Frohman (from the amazing comic Concerned). I love Half Life 2, I mean love. It recently stopped working on my mums computer and a single teardrop rolled down my face (it was a touching scene, really it was). I have played through it about 30 times, and absolutly love anything made by VALVe.
And bacon.
But, I hate Bill (L4D)...*gruff dramatic voice*Bill*eyse squint, Kill Bill song plays*

Right, so that's me (again I think), I hope people don't get mad at this necro,

I've had a bit of a creative brainstorm and come up with a concept.

The more senior members of the forum should totally come up with a 'new user's guide to The Escapist Forums' brochure which would immediately be available in your inbox when you register a new account.

Hi. I'm 22 and been gaming since....ever. I'm a studying journalist based in Brisbane, Australia. Found this site through a game magazine referencing 'Yahtzee' and 'Zero Punctuation'. I decided that this would be the gaming community for me to participate in.

My name's Steven and I joined about a week ago because I honestly, just wanted to write a slogan for The Escapist. After browsing the forums I realized it was much more than just a place to watch Zero Punctuation. It had quality boards and intelligent posts which were very different from the usual "OMG I HATEZ TEH PPLZ WHO HATE XBAWKS!!!". It had genuine rules and people followed them. I'm glad I found this place!

Edit: Also, Welcome! Welcome to everyone who found this gem as well!!!

Hi, my name's Tyson and I'm an alcoholic, huh...oh.
Anyway, I joined back in...October I think. At first all I did was watch Zero Punctuation but then I saw a thread about Death Note and after that the PirateKing was born!
This is a rally cool site and I wish I would've started doing this stuff earlier.
Well, I'm 18. I'm an Aries. I'm an actor. I've been in four plays, most recently The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and I'm going to be Richard Nixon and several other characters in another SNLesque show starting in February.
I think I'm a filmmaker. I just do weird stuff. I'd make a lot more movies if it wasn't impossible to get people to show up!
Well, that's about all. Any specific questions? Feel free to ask.

That would be cool I don't know how many would read it though.
I also like this:

Hi there! I'm Cahlee! Yes, I'm boring using my actual name as my Username. I joined in August and went through a period or frequent posting until a little less then a month I lost the zest and just kindof stopped. I was sorely missed.
Late November I remembered how much fun I had posting and came back to the shocked glee and happiness of the Escapists that I had unfortunately left behind.
I'm an 19, female, I live in New South Wales in Australia. I'm starting a Psych degree at University next year and I have a horrible job at a truck stop. I love Doctor Who, DnD, reading, and music. I love talking to new people. If you want to send me a message or add me as a friend then go for it!

Happy New Year everyone!
