lottie Posted July 12, 2005 A female programmer, that's a welcome rarity! i was quite surprised that there weren't more of us at the nft... still, it's nice to have novelty value :') Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted July 12, 2005 Good. Now head over to the Dong Salad topic and bring some sanity into that madness with your token analytical programmer's mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLacey Posted July 12, 2005 Speaking of telefragged, a few days ago I noticed the SCRAMM forum is still online. PS. link - http://www.telefragged.com/message_boards/scramm/ Posting doesn't work though. I noticed that a while back when I was researching an article that never got finished for AG. Some of the posts there are fairly amusing, if I remember correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chermilla Posted July 18, 2005 My name's Chermilla and I'm a recovering alcoholic..... Nah, ok seriously. I'm an illustrator hoping to eventually become a conceptual artist (2D) in the games industry. I found out about this site from my friend Ben at work who helps run the site. I have an A-level, diploma and degree in art. I studied a BA Hons in Graphic design & Illustration at the surrey institute of Art & Design in Epsom. Currently I'm working as an assistant Lead tester at Sega, I've been there for a year now. I love my job and especially all the guys i work with!! I'm into Hip hop, Old skool heavy metal, Horrorcore and D&B. My favourite band at the mo is the Kottonmouth Kings. I also like extreme sports such as skate boarding, BMXing and motor cross. Gameswise I enjoy playing AAA and RPG titles mostly. Especially ones that involve some puzzle solving. I'm playing 'Prince of Persia, warrior within' now. Just completed 'the Suffering' recently too. Eagily awaiting the release of the new 'Zelda, twilight Princess'. I just got a copy of 'Blood will tell' from work too, so might start that after I've completed P.O.P. Coz I tested it for a few weeks and really liked it. Thats about it really!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted July 18, 2005 Welcome to Idle Thumbs! What in Zeus' beard is Horrorcore? Hardcore with lots of horror samples? I'm dying to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knar Posted July 20, 2005 Hello Hello. I've been on this forum for a while but I've never made a formal introduction as to who I am. My name is Priscilla, and I'm one of your American counterparts on this forum. Another problem I have is taking Male names because of problems I've had in the past during MUDs. Anyhow, a friend pointed me to Idlethumbs after telling me the reviews would be far more interesting, entertaining and less quantitative than say Gamepro. They are, I have to say. And to know you guys have not been bribed by the publishers to say good things, yet. About me. I'm a geek girl who enjoys video games, obscure board games and sci-fi/fantasy. I posted my picture on the "show yer ugly mug", but now the thread has been overtaken by Firefly. (woot!) Anyhow, I'm fan of the older games, like SNES, NES. I like RPGS and puzzle games, but I don't own any consoles, just my computer. Oh wait, Mafia was awesome. That's a pic of me and some yellow thing. I thought it was cute. I love tennis, rock climbing and archery, though I'm a beginner. I have a BS in Computer Science from UCLA. I guess that's my technical background. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OftenK Posted July 20, 2005 ...some yellow thing. Gasp! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Posted July 20, 2005 some yellow thing Please. Anyway, three-months-late-welcome to the forums! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knar Posted July 20, 2005 Please.Anyway, three-months-late-welcome to the forums! I stand corrected. The yellow thing is now officially known as an Alien Hominid. However, I still reserve the right to call it a "Yellow thingie". And thank you for the welcome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eleK_triK Posted July 25, 2005 Hi, the name's Robert. Kingz introduced me to the site and I've been looking around it for a little while and I finally decided to join. At any given moment I'm actually about 5 to 8 meters away from him, lol. I'm originally from this small US-Mexico bordertown in southwest Texas, but now I'm living here in San Antonio. I'm currently studying Psychology since I always had an affinity for it, but my original intention was to become a programmer. I took a few courses, but I think I just barely scratched the surface. I also like all different kinds of music, from rock to rap, hip hop, r&b, techno, heavy metal, jazz, alternative, even classical. I was a musician for about 6 years, playing saxophone in my highschool band(or as Homer would say, "Saxamaphone"). Anyway, I've always had a love of games as far as I can remember. My first system was an NES, and over the years I graduated from one system to the next. I'm mostly a fan of RPGs, but I enjoy the occassional action and adventure game as well. So yeah, that's me in a nutshell! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted August 16, 2005 Okay everyone, I'm back from some very arduous times in my life. I've just been through a gung-ho moving from my old home I got kicked out of, to my new excellent appartment in the middle of a mediumsized city in the Netherlands, Tiel. Been decorating my room in the past few days. I feel right at home now, but the execution of the ordeal was tiring and erosive to my mind. I need some rest, which I'll get during my vacation to Scotland (Edinburgh). I'm going to see the annual military tattoo because my mum is a Scot-fan and plays the bagpipe. I've seen it on tv a few times and it should be an enjoyable spectacle. But mostly I look forward to playing Another Code on my DS which my girlfriend bought for me for my birthday on the twelfth. And I just got Psychonauts! Woohoo! The bx was a bit crushed unfortunately but what can I do about it? I'm so anxious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erwin_Br Posted August 16, 2005 Tiel reminds me of Jomanda and Flipje. Oh, and traffic jams. Lots of traffic jams. --Erwim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted August 16, 2005 I had completely forgotten about Jomanda, but there are freaking STATUES of Flipje van Tiel everywhere. Comicbooks, merchandise, the works. But it's worth it. My little corner-appartment is awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
