Introduce yourself! AKA the "Say hello" thread

Ahhh... so you're from the nether regions of Australia. Tell me, is it true that it's really dark and smelly down there?

 

Hi everyone!

I'm a 19-year old guy of both French and English descent. I will start studying in February 2004 for a Degree in Computing & Multimedia in Australia 8) because I decided to go straight after three years of accountancy studies.

I play the piano and the electric guitar, I've written a few songs. I read a lot and am a big fan of Terry Pratchett. I listen to music all day long, be it country, urban, metal, trance, rock, classical, flamenco, blues, or anything else that catches my fancy.

I've played through Fallout & Fallout 2 a few times, but have yet to complete Tactics because I think that, despite some good ideas, it's turned out to be a dreadfully dreary slog of a game.

Since I enjoy Games Workshop table-top strategy games (I hope this is not forbidden advertising on this forum), and particularly Necromunda which bears a passing resemblance to the universe of Fallout, I have started to design a strategy game inspired by those universes. I hope my computing studies will allow me to complete this project of a lifetime.

 

Hi... I really am new here. Uh... I like to smoke weed... and sometimes i play video games..... and... uh...... im really bored and this looked like fun. Did i mention i liked to smoke?

 

Welcome guys, and KurganFr you can talk all of you want about any sort of games you like and respective companies, no problem there.

 

Interesting lot of people we have here.

 

I am the Champion of the Order.

I'm also a Viking, still new so I have done the old Rape, Pillage, Burn yet but once my longboat is finished watch out.

I don't like Fallout 1 or 2 at all(they suck).

 

Ok i've been around here for a while...haven't posted in a long time though...I'm from norway... I'm 16.... I like the original fallout games...nuff said..

 

Da vill du bli glad for å vite at sjefen på denne skuta hær heter odin og han er norsk.

Hæn e du fra?
Og eg e fra nord-trøndelag. men eg for øyeblikke i lofoten.

 

Yes I know that odin is from norway... I'm from Sula, neighbouring county to ålesund...

 

Hey bakedguy,

*sigh* You just had to sign up with that name, didn't you? Hopefully you'll change your ways before you get banned from here

Don't worry people, I know him from real life. Just haven't seen him for a couple of years, that's all. I thought perhaps we could share some laughter here, so just give this funny guy a chance, m'kay?

 

Translation? To laymans English?

Something about Odin from the norse country?

 

It's all just a conspiracy to stalk odin.

 

Odin's avatar looks like gandalf.

 

Born, living in Indonesia. Educated & lived in the UK for 16 years.

Amiga will always be my favourite platform.

Win32 ASM is my fave language.

I can honestly say that I have run over a spammer.

bakedguy: I would guestimate that 70%-95% of all software ever made involved some weed smokers at some point in the development cycle.

I think its an important step.

 

It's a picture of Odin the god. Odin is god of magic and leader of the Norse pantheon and most importantly he is the father to THOR.

As to why Gandalf looks like Odin Tolkien's work has heavily influenced by Norse mythology. Odin can be considered as sort of a base to Gandalf.

Also Earth in Norse is called Midgard, which means middle earth or middle garden. Heaps of other stuff too.

 

Pfft, you guys are trying to make it sound like I know nothing about Norse mythology. Pfffssshhht. If you look, my ~exact~ words were "Looks like", that does not mean that he doesn't look like anyone else. Sheesh.
