This is a place for new members to introduce themselves to the GT community.

He was active fora good long time, then has not been heard of.

Well, what would be a good cheap prize for people here anyhow?

I mean its a nice forum and all, but we have basically gotten down to the same core people. And I mean haha I think we all get along in safe relationships at this point.

We need some fresh blood. Some good ole heated arguments. Some fire to these here forums.

Bond
03-20-2008, 11:08 PM
You know... I've tried to increase this forum's membership for the longest time, but I sort of came to the conclusion it's not really its purpose. I remember when I was an admin over at FunXbox and we had a very large community, and it suited the site well as at that time the Xbox was brand new and everyone needed a place to go and talk about it, and there really was only MSXbox and FunXbox. I guess my point is that this forum is sort of like old friends recounting stories in a pub. It's meant to be a small grouping.

Swan
03-21-2008, 01:05 AM
Too true my silent friend, too true.

But there are new people occasionally who get introduced at pubs as here nobody really new.


And it seems that slowly the core group is slowly dying down.


Anybody up for making a list of the main members still around nowadays? I would like to know how many there is exactly

GameMaster
03-21-2008, 01:28 AM
I nominate Foxy or Swany to make a list of the core posters.

And I love Bond's point. We're kind of like Cheers. Where everybody knows your name.

Bube
03-21-2008, 12:46 PM
I was thinking about the number of people here a few days ago and I think this "pub" thing is kind of nice.

But I also think that people leave because we really don't welcome them. The core members always talk to their older friends, the new members' posts seem to get ignored, and the new members feel left out.

I sometimes feel the same way, but I really don't care :p

It's about some weird micro-organism that causes some trouble. :) It's not his best book by far, but still a very nice read.

I have been meaning to drop by and see whats up, but everything is so busy right now its very difficult to get anything done . . . even gaming, I no longer own a wii or a ds, just a psp which i hardly use except for movies and music. Anyway off to bed!

MrCoffee
05-08-2008, 03:16 PM
some one offered me $475 and a brand new psp slim in the box for everything, needless to say i took it and am very satisfied with my decision, i love the multimedia part of my PSP and the games are cool same with the graphics. Other than that I play Mark Kart Wii / Brawls on the same wii cause the guy who bought it from me is a good friend...:P I am satisfied with the internet cafe to play with ahah!

So, I'm not new here, but I haven't posted on this forum in probably 4 years or more I guess. It would be hard to tell. I would be lying if I didn't tell you that members tracked me down on facebook and then held my head to a saw and were like "Post or Die, Post or Die"

So I'm back.

A bit about me:

Name is John.

I live in KY. Yes that's right, rednecks play games too, just we do it barefoot.

Uhm about 4 years ago I got seriously involved in Guilty Gear and the competitive fighting game scene, and now I'm one of the best in the US. Score.

I like RPGs, Gears of War, sandwiches, and well random stuff.

Welcome to the forums, I hope you enjoy your stay.

Since we just met, what type of graphic novels/comic books do you read? Any recommendations?

What games do you play? What consoles do you have?

I read all kinds of comics and graphic novels. I own 1,000+ comics and 50+ graphic novels. I don't have a preference between Marvel or DC, both are lovely in my opinion. But I also ready more indie stuff like Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina, and Scott Pilgrim.

My recommendations list could go on for a while, but I recommend the three mentioned above, Superman: Red Son, Batman: Long Halloween, Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps. War, Watchmen, The Sword, Walking Dead, Kingdom Come, Wolverine: Old Man Logan, and Irredeemable.

I game a lot as well. Haven't renewed my gold subscription to Xbox Live yet, but planning on doing that sometime within the next few months haha. I have an Xbox 360, a Wii, and a DS as far as newest gen goes. Recently, I've been playing Pokemon: Soul Silver.

Hmm a preference for comics over trades?
Interesting.
And maybe you will be interested in the next GT Group Read, it is going to be Ex Machinia, we were just gonna wait until it was done.

Read, one of my favorites.
Read, good stuff
Read, not a huge fan
Want more information on The Sword.
Still reading, good stuff
Enjoyable
Eh
And what is Irredeemable?

Overall I'd say I prefer comics over trades, but it really depends. If a series is well into its storyline before I hear about it, like Walking Dead, I just wait for trades. No sense in trying to find all the issues haha. I get issues if they might seem profitable because comics have potential to go up in value, whereas graphic novels do not. That being said, I'm not really into the hobby for the profit (though I do want to open up a comic book shop when I retire), it's more of a passtime really.

I'd love to join you guys for Ex Machina. It's written by Brian K. Vaughan, one of my favorite writers. Y: The Last Man is one of my favorite series of all time, and Ex Machina is shaping up to be the same way. I have the first 8 volumes and volume 9 comes out in May.

The Sword is a nice little graphic novel by the Luna Brothers. The art is very unique, as is the story. It centers around a paralyzed girl, Dara I believe, who finds a mystical sword and can mysteriously walk again. She soon discovers the history of the sword with some dire consequences. It's a 4 volume series, the first 3 of which have been released. Volume 4 should be out sometime within the next few months because the series is two issues from being done.

Irredeemable is basically a what if? story by Mark Waid. The plot is based around what would happen if a superhero heard people talking bad about him, and it caused him to go nuts. The Plutonian used to be the world's greatest superhero, but has now turned into its greatest villain. The first two volumes are out, and I don't believe the series plans on stopping anytime soon. Personally, I really enjoy the counterpart series, Incorruptible. Incorruptible is more or less the exact opposite. It's about Max Damage, a villain gone hero. He's got a female sidekick named Jailbait, for obvious reasons. Both series have potential in my eyes.

And as far as console games go, I have Super Smash Bros., Super Mario Galaxy, No More Heroes, Mario Kart and Wii Sports for my Wii. I have Rock Band 2, Mass Effect 1 and 2, Grand Theft Auto 4, The Darkness, Burnout Paradise, Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, The Orange Box, Fallout 3, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2, Oblivion, and Mortal Kombat vs. DCU for my 360
