Title: You say goodbye, and I say hello
Post by: Interference on Wed 28/05/2003 16:47:32
Hi. I'm new here but I've been dabbling with AGS for a few months now so I thought I'd just give myself a formal intruduction. I'm 19, from Oxfordshire in England, male, a computer-aided design student and have a variety of interests ranging from science fiction, writing, drawing, computer gaming, coding and other hobbies which regularly confuse and astound. No, not that sort.

In the short time I've spent with AGS I've actually settled in quite comfortably. The c-like scripting language is frighteningly easy for me to use and I'm already scribbling away in preparation for an adventure game I've had in mind for a few years now. I'm kitted out with Photoshop, Illustraitor and a selection of other software for making my life easier.

I'm also willing to lend my talents (if you can call them that...)
to anyone who wants them, although I imagine there's a seperate board for that sort of thing.. I do voice acting, coding, art, dialogue writing and interface design but I'm sadly completely useless at composing music.

Well, um.. I'll be going now. I've, er.. Left the iron on.. Or something.

Excellent introduction · 100 pts.

No interesting avatar · -5 pts

Fairly bland nick · -10 pts

Not introducing yourself to the community sooner · -20 pts.

I give this newbie 65 points.  It's really not too bad considering that there've been some that got a -1, 603, 599 score.  

Enough idiocy.  Welcome, a very enthusiastic welcome.  Though it'd be nice to have someone else to beg for music assistance, a high-potential user is always very welcome.

Altough I wouldn't blame you for being frightened. We are a strange clan.

Eh, sorry about a lack of entertaining avatar. I only have internet access via my University and hence have to ferry stuff back and forth on a USB keyring. I'm working on something suitably entertaining to visually represent myself which I'll probably get round to uploading where I can soon.

Working on a reply to this amazingly ridiculous statement, however, would be.. fruitless (boom, boom..).

A friend of mine moved to Wales. The whole place has an air of strangeness about it, an experience regularly compared to being duct taped to a lamp post in a busy highstreet: you're sure everyone is staring at you but there's not a lot you can do about it.

LoL yeah, Interference is actually me, sorry about that joke - it was very DGMacphee of me!

Hehe, only kidding - welcome aboard Interference. I'm 19, male and from Oxfordshire too, (Wallingford to be exact), but I'm not a student anymore. I work as a temporary agency worker under the looming monster that is Didcot Power station. It's a small world out there!

Ah, its okay - you're from Yarnton. Do you reckon you could organise some sort of gig in Woodstock, because every time I see signs for it I wonder if its the actual "Woodstock." ;)

Blimey, my grandparents used to live near Didcot Power station. Relax, that statement didn't intentionally insunuate they're dead. They're very much alive and very much barking mad.

Yarnton, on the other hand, is fairly boring at best and utterly dismal at any other time. Well, at least it looks nice. Sort of. Apparently - according to the AA Milemaster, Yarnton is nice for walking around in. That's it.

I'm currently living in Wycombe, where my Uni is. I come back home to Oxfordshire every holiday for a few weeks (should be a whole month next time I'm back).

As for Woodstock, I could see enormous pun potential should any event ever be held there. And a few people turning up to the wrong one. I'm sure I saw Jimi Hendrix around here somewhere...

He was probably then later mugged. No wait, that would've been if he had walked round Blackbird Leyes. We tried to organise "WallyStock" once - hopefully will get it organised some summer soon.

I often visit the FilmWorks at High Wycombe. It's fun.

Take it easy :)
