Introductions, I guess?

Recommended Posts

I guess since probably no one but Ame knows/remembers me here, I should do an introduction instead of just randomly posting every which place. ... even though I've done that all of twice. Man, I haven't done one of these in a while.

Well, I'm a college student, getting my degree in Psychology and Electronic Media & Film with a focus in Film/Digital Media Studies. After that, I'll be heading to graduate studies for Psychology, probably with a focus in counseling or research -- I'm hoping to work with either LGBT youth, children/teens with disabilities, or children/teens with emotional disturbances. I'll be turning 21 in a couple months. I've played games since I was little, mostly Pokemon of course. I've since branched out into all sorts of games and genres -- my current favorites happen to be [b]ilomilo[/b], [b]Secret of Mana[/b], and [b]Pokemon Crystal[/b]. Oh, and I love [b]Final Fantasy IX[/b]. I can't even begin to describe how much I love it. I even sat for 36 hours playing it for charity.

I also code websites. I've been an admin on a couple sites, moderator on a couple more, op on some IRC channels, plus I've owned/worked on quite a few websites, including this one way back in the day.

Other than that... I usually just browse the internet in my spare time. I'm working on getting a blog up and running, though I'm terrible at getting myself to start writing. I'm an avid tweeter (11k and counting), I hang out on Skype, I stream video games from time to time, and think I'm an all-around pretty cool gal.

Nice to meet cha'all, and hope to get to know you all.

You'll recognize a few people here and there, but yeah, most of the people around here are fresh meat pulled in from the server.
I would do a more elaborate welcome post, but, um, I feel like there's little point coming from me.
Still! Fantastic to have you backyay!

I saw Ashen's introduction thread but I don't wanna say anything cause she's got a history far before my time and yet I'm welcoming her? It seems weird >>
Ame says:
Just welcome the poor girl.
Or welcome back
Or something.[/quote]

So says the master, must obey.........
Of course, this isn't to say I don't wanna welcome you~
[s]Just realizing I don't have an official introduction anywhere and yet I'm an admin here... mysterious~[/s]

Oh, don't mind me, I'm just speaking randomness cause I have no clue what to say. ^^;

Another Final Fantasy fan, I see; Instant approval <3
I liked X the most though... And I see you're currently playing XIII... Keep going, trust me, it's awesome; I just finished it!~

Above all else, of course, (and I don't say much about myself because I see you've already noticed my profile which says enough about me...) welcome! Always a pleasure to meet those of importance who existed before me.

According to every review I've read, Ika, FFXIII wasn't that great. FFX...now that's pretty awesome.

I feel morally obligated to say hi.

Hi!

I would put a plug in for my Silver LP, but that's kinda lamesauce. :3

@Ikaru: I've finished XIII before. Got to 30/36 trophies in the PS3 version before my PS3 ended up giving up the ghost. I'm planning on fixing it sometime either just before or during the summer so I can get back to it, though I have to buy all my PS3 games again due to selling them to buy a hard drive for my 360. But yeah, I know what I'm doing in FF13. I've been skipping cutscenes so I'm at the final dungeon with about... 27 hours on the clock? Still have to decide whether I want to grind for CP/Moonblossom Seeds from the boss-enemies or just make a bumrush to finish the dungeon so I can just head back to Gran Pulse and level up there before murdering the final boss (still, doubt I'll get Superstar my first time; Stage 10 Crystarium is almost NECESSARY).

And don't feel like it's difficult to socialize just because I come from a different generation. Cross-generational discussion is what fuels our society and keeps us moving. Besides, [i]respect your elders[/i]. ... j/k, it's all in good fun.

@Octogonapus: It's a love/hate game. Plus it's not a surface game at all. It's very difficult to understand what's going on without really analyzing things. That's not to say it's perfect; there's some things the writers started that they never finished (one in particular I hate they didn't do anything with is the big sister relationship they started between Vanille and Hope and never resolved). But it's by no means a "bad" game. Not great, but not terrible. It was fun enough the first time around to make me want to play it two more times (in the case that I can't fix my PS3 and have to get a new one).

And yes, FFX was great. It's in my top five.

I could plug my Brown LP, but I haven't worked on that in months, so I guess we're even.

@Bullet: Not just "hi," but "hi" with an emoticon! Walking a fine line there, sir.

Definitely; I finished the fight, not only surprised at how easy it was, but also when I saw the target time and realized I was a minute slow... Yeah. What party do you usually use?

As for the rest, good to know; hopefully we'll talk more then~

@Ikaru: I usually use Light/Fang/Hope, since Army of One is delicious, and having a SAB and a SYN at all times is good. Also Hope's not too bad a MED, and Fang can hold her own as a COM. Also Combat Clinic is very much helpful after bosses use their stronger attacks. I was using Light/Sazh/Vanille for a long while, because SYN/SAB really REALLY helps. No joke. Some bosses and enemies I remember being really annoying (like Juggernauts) are cakewalk when you have a SAB and a SYN.

@Kaito: I'll definitely be around. Some irony that you're named after the Vocaloid - Meiko happens to be my favorite out of all of them (well, besides Kaito).

Army of One is indeed delicious <3 "I'm no one's slave!"~
I haven't even tried anyone else's full-ATB skills, despite having them all... That's usually the same setup I use too; any favorite weapons in particular?

@Ikaru: Favorite weapons...? Not really. Though I'm rather fond of the Malboro Wand because of Improved Debuffing II. Light's Enkindler with ATB Charge II is also really nice. Other than that... right now I've got initial equip on both Fang and Hope and the fully improved Axis Blade on Light (plus two Whistlewind Scarves, so I've got ATB Boost +15%). Since it's my second time through, I'm kinda abusing weapon abilities and such. They really do help!

Awesome, what IRC channels? I always need more to lurk in =/

Oh, and hello~, suppose I should've started with that.

WOW! ONE DAY AND I'M FUCKING LATE! ;)

Best way to start my welcome:
[quote]my current favorites happen to be ilomilo, Secret of Mana, and [b]Pokemon Crystal.[/b][/quote]

You have my respect until the end of time. So howdy, N8theGr8 here, and because I have no idea what I should and shouldn't be saying here I'll just say, Welcome [back], hopefully you'll be able to live with our insanity and maybe even enjoy it a little! :unsure:
