I've spent most of my life in North Carolina and it would be fine with me if I never left, love it here.Yay for NC! :D I love it here, too. :)
I'm 23 and graduated college six months ago with a BS in Computer Science.Hey, you graduated at almost the exact same time I did. Congrats!
I don't drink, save for one time when I had a little celebratory sake when I graduated college (so I'm not opposed to drinking, I just choose not to).
I've never gotten drunk, but I have had Schnapps on occasions and spiced wine when sick.
I can't stand the taste of coffee, beer, or wine.:shock: Am I the only one here who occasionally drinks with friends and has actually been drunk on more than one occasion? :-[
:shock: Am I the only one here who occasionally drinks with friends and has actually been drunk on more than one occasion? :-[I'll drink Mike's hard lemonade and other drinks that hide the taste of alcohol. Granted not very often, but on occasion, and then there was the summer I had my internship... so no XD
Thank goodness! I was starting to think I was the forum's wild child. :P This "hide the taste of alcohol" thing is my way too--I usually only drink things that taste like juice. (Which is more dangerous, I think. ::)):shock: Am I the only one here who occasionally drinks with friends and has actually been drunk on more than one occasion? :-[I'll drink Mike's hard lemonade and other drinks that hide the taste of alcohol.

Probably, they go down so easy! XD But I've only blacked out once and I have no intention of repeating that experience :SThank goodness!

Yeah same deal.... been here a long time, but never wrote an intro thing so...I am atec. But I don't actually go by that in real life. In fact this is one of the only places I go by that. I came up with it a few years ago and signed up on a few forums with it, but that's about it.My real name is ben, but I go by my middle name thomas (I go by tommy or tom though whatever, no one cares about names on a forum....I am 14 years old at the moment. In about 3 months I will become 15 years old, by some sacred magic I don't know much about called teh birthdais.I am somewhat of a computer nerd, but not really. I use linux and I know quite a bit about computers and play some adventure games and such, but I don't really fit many of the stereotypes that would make someone a "computer nerd" it's just not my style of life, lolz.If you knew me, you would know that I am seriously into skateboarding (more specifically, what n00bs would call "longboarding") and music.I am really into music. I seriously might not be alive still if it wasn't for music. Lets just say that 11-13 years old sucked really bad and if it wasn't for my green day obsession at the time, I wouldn't have had much to live for. (A scary thought, really) Music is art. Beautiful art that can vary so much. I listen to everything and anything. My favorite genre is probably (good) rap. rap is amazing when done right. not only the sound and "flow", but the lyrics behind it can bring up powerful, well explained points with passion and I have a lot of repect for that and get a lot of enjoyment out of it. My favorite band of all time is Mew, and I don't see that changing any time soon.I has a stroke at birth and survived a major concussion at the end of 2009, but somehow I am alive and completely fine aside from having a terrible memory. In fact most of my friends don't even know that and there is no reason for anyone to know, because I luckily wasn't effected badly by either.I haven't really ever dated anyone, because in middleschool I was like the only person who thought it was pointless at that age, with all the drama and stupid people. Drama sucks.Actually though, I actually am sort of dating a really amazing girl right now, and have been for like 2 months. it's not "official", but I don't care, that's just another one of those stupid highschool relationship things IMO. it will be "official" someday soon hopefully, but that wouldn't really change anything.I Believe in God, Jesus, The Holy spirit, the bible, etc.... but I don't really like to classify myself as a Christian. I feel like a bit of a hypocrite for saying that, because my main problem with Christianity is all the denominations and nitpicky organized religions. If everyone believes in the same basic stuff, they should all be able to worship together and get along if they feel like it.
Not much else to say... but I just realized I have never showed a picture of myself on these forums... that will have to change at some point...
Nice to meet you, Atec! I didn't post photos of myself on the forums for quite some time either actually. I eventually did, but it took quite a while for me to get to that point. I felt exactly the same way back in middle school about relationships. I saw so many peoples, guys and girl's alike, getting into relationships back in middle school, and then two weeks later that person is crying by the lockers or something, having just been dumped/cheated on/whatever. Really sad. It was the same in high school, just longer than two weeks. Honestly, I've always seen myself as a lot more mature for my age than I should be. You seem to be really mature too, atec. That's not a bad thing either. It's definitely a good thing.Yeah. I see myself the same way. I don't know if it's a good thing to think I am mature for my age, but it seems like an ok mindset to have...

Yeah... that is why I have never really bothered with relationships until now. If this doesn't work out, I am probably not trying again for a long time. It really seems like a waste of time 99 percent of the time.
I am starting to talk less intelligently....and christmas break is over with school tomorrow so I need to get to bed.
see you tomorrow, forum people :P
Oh don't worry, Haids, you've got some good company right here. ;) :drinking: <--me and Haids!
Well, I know I'm not the one falling down. ;) Irish gals who went to BC don't go down that easy!
:suffer: The last time I was drunk at a bar I was hitting on one of my brother's friends, professing my love to him. ;] I was soooooo sick the next day, I haven't been drunk since (and that was about eleven months ago!)Oh don't worry, Haids, you've got some good company right here. ;) :drinking: <--me and Haids!
Remind me never to take you two to a bar together... XD

I'm about a fingernail length's worth of Irish, does that count?Well, I know I'm not the one falling down. ;) Irish gals who went to BC don't go down that easy!
XD :rofl: IRISH HERITAGE FTW!
This all just makes me that much more proud of never having alcohol... But I gotta say, you do certainly have some adventures when you're drunk lol.Yeeeaaahhhhh...there is that. I don't think I'll ever be publicly intoxicated again, though. That was too embarrassing! One of those things that still makes me cringe when I think about it. :X
I couldn't tell you really what percentage of ANYTHING I am. My mom is a bit of everything--English, Native American, German, Irish, Canadian, etc. And Daddy was adopted, so it's a mystery on his side. :( But Dundas (my last name) is a Scottish name, so I always say that I'm Scottish. FRRREEEEEEEDOM!
Never seen it. ;D Funny that it reminded you of a movie other than Braveheart, since that's what I quoted. ;)

I've actually never seen Braveheart... But Highlander is one of my favorite movies of all time...
Lol- that sounds so Kanye West XDLOL! ;D Aw, well, I'm not saying Braveheart was the greatest movie of all time (that honor is bestowed upon Moulin Rouge), but it's definitely good. And based in Scotland, with my peeps. :)
"Yo, Haids. I'm really happy for you and ima let you finish, but Highlander was the best movie of all time."
:shock: Am I the only one here who occasionally drinks with friends and has actually been drunk on more than one occasion? :-[I know I'm really late answering this but..... "occasionally", yes. "With some frequency"? No, no, I do that. :P

Hello I'm kelson I'm 13 and i found out about tsl by a lets player Toegoff. Iv played the Kings Quest 6 (still working on beating it :D) And seen mask of eternity played. and i must bring this up (since i haven't seen anything about it)does anyone here like pie?
Scusatemi, sono Italiano e riesco quasi a capire cosa scrivete....
Mi impegnerò maggiormente per imparare la vostra lingua...
Per ora cercherò di capire quello che devo fare....
Spero di poter portare qualcosa di utile per il Forum.
Grazie.
Spero di aver usato il luogo giusto per presentarmi.
Excuse me, I'm Italian and I can almost understand what you write .... I will work more to learn your language ... For now I'll try to figure out what to do .... I hope I can bring something useful to the Forum. Grazie.Spero had used the place to introduce myself.
does anyone here like pie?Oreo Cream for the win, babycakes! !!!
Hi, 8)
My Name is Megha. I have played all King's Quest games from start to finish (except Mask of Eternity). I love playing the Silver Lining...my complements to the entire team of Phoenix Online and a Thank You from the bottom of my heart...

Iv played the Kings Quest 6 (still working on beating it :D) And seen mask of eternity played. and i must bring this up (since i haven't seen anything about it)does anyone here like pie?cool. I'm 14 and as far as I know i'm the youngest regular here. pie is amazing. I imagine it has been brought up before but maybe not recently. plenty of random discussion around here
Only 10 days until pi day! We get free pie at work (at 1:59).Aw, pi day. :) My math teacher in high school was actually born that day.
I remember back in kindergarten all those many many years ago we celebrated 100's day. It was like a legit holiday for us. The number 100 was so mysterious when I was a kid. By that I mean it was so high. We made necklaces comprising of 100 Fruit Loops and all sorts of other things relating to the number 100. Why does no one ever celebrate that anymore?If you were around kids every day you'd realize that it IS still celebrated! :) Our kindergarten class at work celebrates it every year, and every kid brings 100 of something to show and count in front of the class. Then all the teachers have to come in and congratulate the kids of making it to 100 days of kindergarten--wow, you're such big kids now! :P We had it when I was in school, too--I think I brought 100 raisins.
LOL, I don't think so. It's March 14th, or 3/14, or 3.14 (the first three numbers in Pi.) Math nerds like to celebrate it and eat pie that day. Math nerd I am not, pie I do not get.
Well, I mean not kindergarteners. I mean big kids like me. Is Pi day supposed to be the big kid equivilant to 100's day?I think it's your 100th day of school *ever*, so you wouldn't celebrate it more than once. I never heard of it until my wife told me about it (she's an elementary school teacher).
:stars:
Boys, I love you. I do. But I simply cannot grasp your enthusiasm for math. It makes me cringe just looking at that mess Doon made!
dd. I didn't think it was possible for you to get any cooler. But my God, that is the most brilliant song ever written! Bravo! :bow: (And hey, I saw the Pacific Northwest in the midst of the song! :D)
Seriously, math is going to hold me back from ever graduating college. I've been dragging my feet with my freaking 2-year degree for five years because I CAN'T DO MATH! Jimmy Buffet is right. Math suks.
Lol, additionally:

My hobbies include foreign music, Greek and Norse mythology, and reading.You're in good company, my friend. :) DELLING! DELORIA! WE'VE GOT ANOTHER MYTHOLOGY ENTHUSIAST!
I was until I realised there were weekly pantheon meetings (with cupcakes) in which they chose the most ridiculous ways to torture people who were convinced they were gods. :P But I need a golden headdress too and so must clearly be Sif. :PMy hobbies include foreign music, Greek and Norse mythology, and reading.You're in good company, my friend. :) DELLING!

English is by the way not my native language (as you definitely have noticed),...Had not. If you do make it to the States, I think you'll find that your English outstrips alot of ours. :P
I just wanna say that I have read through some of the comments of this topic, and I really felt at home from the very first second.
My now 6-page verb table proves that everything Greek is wrong and complicated. :P
Since the Swiss school system is kind of confusing I won't start to explain what kind of school I am in at the moment. However, as far as I have heard it's on the same level as your American colleges.This. :P I hate saying I'm still in high school since we're really so much more elitist than that and it's not at all comparable to American high schools. :P
I still don't understand why you insist on actually DECLINING ALL OF THE PARTICIPLES!! You haven't even learned all of the personal forms of the verbs yet and you're filling up pages upon pages of pages meant for CONJUGATION with DECLENSION. :P Also, I keep telling you you'd be done with all the personal forms in 3 or fewer pages... which is probably why. :PIt's because I never bothered to memorise the morphology table you sent me and the dative plural can sometimes be confusing. :-[ Also, I'm not going to make an adjective table since I can actually keep track of those, in spite of the many sub-declensions, so they have to go on there. :P And we've actually done all the forms. :P We're going to start reading Kallirhoe after the exam next week. :)
That's so cool! I always feel like such a stupid American when I discover these things--we were required to take only 2 years of a foreign language in high school and that was it. I took Spanish, but I enjoyed it so much that I took it all four years of high school. Load of good it did me, too--I've forgotten most of it. ::) But anyway, I also did not notice that English is not your first language. Well done, man. :)
English is by the way not my native language (as you definitely have noticed), but our school provides a bilingual school program. So more or less I have to speak English all day.
!!! :hug:
And some of you seem to hate maths. Stupid subject.
Well, we're glad you're here. :D The environment is what keeps us regulars coming back for more. So, like I invited Ole to do, pull up a cushion and have a cookie! (I have a secret stash that Wilco doesn't know about...*smuggles Oreos to the newbies*)
You guys seem to be fun. And I am looking forward to being a part of this community.

Well, you could say Gymnasium.

Wait, we have mythology enthusiasts?! Awesome! I've wanted to start a Scion campaign for years!:rofl:http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html
Welcome to everyone! :D
Aww! I want a lot of alots allotted lots in a loft!
Buddy, welcome! I think you and I will get along very well; I love TV to no end, and I too would like to write for TV, although I'm shooting for video games first. It seems that you and I have very similar interests!
I always feel like such a stupid American when I discover these things--we were required to take only 2 years of a foreign language in high school and that was it.
sooo i guess I'll introduce myself as well :D
Um.. to start with, my real name is Jeannine. I found this forum thanks to Buddy since we are class mates and he kept going on about how fun this forum is ;D I gotta say, from what I read so far, he was right ;)
My native language isn't English either but as Robin already said, we are kinda speaking English everyday (though my spelling is kinda bad '^^).
I'm a dragon loving freak who has fallen in love with Japan recently xD I love watching anime and annoy all my friends around me with it xD I also enjoy reading, including mangas. My favorite genre, manga or non-manga, is definitely fantasy ;D
so ..um.. Hi! :D
Did your name come from Kingdom Hearts, by chance? ;)
ANIME/MANGA FTW! Welcome, Kairi! Is your forum name related to Kingdom Hearts by any chance?
Spelling is bad even for native-speakers of the language. I'm surprised at how good both Buddy and your's english actually is. For those that don't natively speak it, it's pretty good!!

Yay for anime fans! :D And yes the name is from Kingdom Hearts... Again Robin introduced me to it and I fell in love with instantly. I've only played the PSP game though xD
To be honest, I actually lived in England for some time, but I have the feeling I've lost most of my vocabulary since we moved back to Switzerland. That is obvious though, since I now speak Swissgerman most of the time ^^'
:wall:Did your name come from Kingdom Hearts, by chance? ;)
Haids, I already asked that....
Birth By Sleep (the PSP game) is indeed fantastic, but give 1 and 2 a shot as well. And Re:Coded for the DS. That game is actually pretty good.

I really want to play them, but the main problem is that I don't own my own PS2 xD I will play Re:Coded though, since I just finshed Okamiden (another great game! I already loved Okami!).
I am playing 358/2 days, and I find the story itself - as usual - very nice. However, it gets kind of boring that you "only" have to do those missions for days - and they're always the same. I really wanna play only because of the story and because I'm a fan of the series, otherwise I agree with you that it is not that a good game. You only miss the story, which is very interesting and catching as usual.
As I know lovely Kairi she will lend her PSP to me one day, so I can actually play Birth By Sleep too (I actually have her DS at the moment :D )
Kingdom Hearts people too! WOOHOO! ;D Add in that I'm practically owned by Joss Whedon LOL and then I myself into some anime here & there too. Oh yeah, I should probably mention that I'm somewhat of an X-Men, Magic the Gathering, & Culdcept nerd as well. ::)

I watched the cut-scenes for 358/2 days, so I got all the important plot bits. Though, honestly, I find the whole game to be rather pointless. Perhaps it's just me (and perhaps I don't understand the KH over-all plot as well as I thought, which is quite possible),but the very idea of Xion, while a cool character in her own right, is pointless. The fact that she contains part of Sora's memories, and dies by the end of the game, makes her plot line completely useless. So far as I know, there's nothing from 358/2 days that carries over to any of the other games (feel free to correct me), so why did they make it? What was the point? If Xion hadn't died, it'd be another story.
Buddy, I forgot to mention: Based on what I've seen across the internet, your english is surprisingly good. I've come across many a people who can't muster english even half-way decently; you, my fair lady, are doing the language justice.

Well, I'm more of straight-acting gay guy, meaning I have no fashion sense and am into some stereotypical straight things. I have zero fashion sense, and hence, couldn't tell someone whether or not that dress makes them look fat XD
I like shopping
*ba-dum tish*Ha ha haa! ;D
I have no fashion since either. :POh man, me neither. I dress in what feels comfortable, I don't give a crap about what's in style or who wore it at what party. It's all lost on me! :stars:

One time in elementary school, despite my parents firm words against it, I wore a Superman T-shirt to school. The difference with this shirt? It actually had a red cape sewn into it.I would totally rock that!
I'm not a style person either. I wear what I want, and if people think it's out of date, I really don't care. :POne time in elementary school, despite my parents firm words against it, I wore a Superman T-shirt to school.

Wait, you guys wear clothes?
Well, that depends. Namely, on the weather. If it's nice out, I prefer to go all natural. It allows me to experience nature in it's fullest.

Actually, if you go out into the rain, it's a free shower. That's what we call CS (Computer Science) showers, since we're too busy to bathe otherwise. ;D

It's Seattle. Even when it's not raining, it's raining. ;)
Best city in the world. :P Though I don't think I've ever experienced all that much rain there.It's Seattle. Even when it's not raining, it's raining. ;)
That sounds an awful lot like London XD (Beautiful city, that is. I've been to England twice or so. It's rather amazing, I must say)

Welcome, Morwen. :)
Now there I would have to disagree. :P It's not one of the better expo buildings. :P I want the Crystal Palace back. :(
Dude, forget about all these "TSL meetings on the East Coast," you all should come to ME! I bet most of you have never seen the Space Needle before. Or EMP. Or the Fremont Troll! Then you'd all finally know what I'm always gabbing about. :yes:It's Seattle. Even when it's not raining, it's raining. ;)

You guys should hold a "Come Visit Haids Fundraiser" and I'll make reservations for you at the Silver Cloud Inn in Renton. You could have a bake sale with sugar cookies shaped like POIsonous snakes or adventurer's hats. :P
How is coming to visit me making money off of TSL?
I bet most of you have never seen the Space Needle before.I've seen it!
Awww. :( I'll add Massachusetts to the list of places I must visit and make prettier. :PNow there I would have to disagree. :P It's not one of the better expo buildings. :P I want the Crystal Palace back. :(
For one who's hardly been to a foreign country before, and in a place where wrought iron isn't as prevalent, it is. Massachusetts doesn't really have much wrought iron.

Please do. That way, we can finally meet lol. I mean, wrought iron is here, but it's not everywhere you look. You have to go looking for it, really.

I've never played King's questsCheck out Sierra games (King's Quest, Space Quest, etc. on GOG.com or Steam! :D
I'm 28, Mexican, always been a gamer but since I work all day long I barely play anymore :(I can relate. :-\ It's so annoying having to be a responsible adult. :P
Welcome!I for one intend to play video games in bed forever. :PI'm 28, Mexican, always been a gamer but since I work all day long I barely play anymore :(I can relate. :-\ It's so annoying having to be a responsible adult. :P
I actually think KQIII is my favorite. I used to go around and "collect" ingredients from the game so I could make my own versions of the spell.I LIKE King's Quest III, but it's my least favorite. It's not one of those fun, challenging games, it's just a pain. I've beaten it twice, and that has been it. It's not one that I'm like, "I'm in a Questing mood. How 'bout III?"
I would say 6 is my favorite....Mine too. :) My childhood is in that game!
Really? XD I played it obsessively trying to beat it in less and less time. :P I usually managed it in under two hours, which is something I couldn't really say of any of the ones that came after III. :PI actually think KQIII is my favorite.

Enjoy your stay. :yes:Are we a hotel now? XD
Don't be silly. :) If we were a hotel there would be a library full of antique and very boring books and baroque ceilings. :D:highfive: I see what you did there... :P XD
Don't be silly. :) If we were a hotel there would be a library full of antique and very boring books and baroque ceilings. :D
And a bunch of computers with free wi-fi, with every single Sierra game installed (with the manuals!) on them.Dude, I wanna stay here! Sign me up! :yes:
Gulp!--and who gets to pay the bill for that hotel??
Also, that post of mine? All Brandon's doing. XD Over Skype. When I was impressionable and high. :P He's a bad influence, honest. :PWhat the... ... ?? kfleh... :( thanks for involving me in this ::) ... It was mostly your doing. ...I just suggested metiers... which I didn't really ... really I just suggested using thesaurus.com... ::)

Welcome! :D Were you aware that "voilà" literally means "look there"? :D I don't think people should use French in everyday language just to be fashionable. :PHello and welcome to Phoenix Online's forums!

Hello, I am a big fan of Kings Quest series. Have been watching for years your development progress.
The last I followed was you were working on the Silver Lining. Now a few years later voila :) you have 4 episodes done. I will be downloading these with great anticipation. Many thanks for all the hard work in bringing this classic games to us. Thank you for your commitment to preserving such classics :).
I love adventure games and there are not that many being made in recent years.
Were you aware that "voilà" literally means "look there"? :D I don't think people should use French in everyday language just to be fashionable. :P

....I HAVE BEEN LIED TO MY ENTIRE LIEFS! D:
Well, according to this other smart lady >> http://french.about.com/od/vocabulary/a/voila.htm << as everything in language it's got different purposes, sort of like an expression "Here I am!"... no? :O
Let's be nice, ok? :yes:No, no. XD You misunderstood me completely. :P I just finished watching An Education (which is all about using French to sound pretentious) and I realised that when people do this, other people will have literally no idea what you're saying and it made me die a little inside because I do that and I wanted to inform people and spread beauty and knowledge. :(
I understand that, but the new people wouldn't necessarily understand. We don't want to scare people away. :)Let's be nice, ok? :yes:No, no.

I think Deloria should be our forum translator officer or something like that, just as Jafar is the one to go to when you need to find a lost post :PDeloria and Delling could share that post. Both are eminently qualified.
Is that like grabbing a bottle of glitter and throwing it at someone's face? :P lol <3You throw glitter in people's faces? :o
PS: I do that too, lol!
Thank you, guys! I seriously did not know (ashamed to admit I studied french for about two years, so much for that)
... or that... we're not always being sticklers just for the sake of argument or being sticklers... ... in fact, I can't think of a time when I've been a stickler for sake of argument... :PLet's be nice, ok? :yes:No, no.

I had two semesters in college so about a year, but mi espanol es pobrisimo... y tuve 2 anos en escuela secundaria... *hopes he didn't butcher that too terribly* :-\ :P (which is why I seldom use Spanish outside of "veo").
We need to call Mrs Reed to come clean up this mess :O (Kiiiiiiiiiiiiidding!! :P, it's pretty good!)Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! :D err... I mean, gracias. *adjusts monocle* Quite. :P
I seriously wish I had that education while growing up, when I learned what I did everything was because of my family, not because of school. I wish I was exposed to more languages while growing up :(
I COULD BE ALL FANCY AND SMARTSY PANTS LIKE YOU, FRAND <3
I think I like this plan... provided it isn't my face...?
You throw glitter in people's faces? :o
I absolutely should! Way to make a first impression, don't you think? :D lol
Fun fact: When I was young I used to sprinkle glitter all over my head and hands before going to bed because I was convinced it would make me have flying dreams. :POMG
What a mess for you parents to clean up!Fun fact: When I was young I used to sprinkle glitter all over my head and hands before going to bed because I was convinced it would make me have flying dreams. :POMG
Your sheets. Your pillowcases.
Your laundry room.
OMG.
Hi,
I'm Ben. I'm very active over at the Pinkerton Road forums, so I decided to join the PO forums as well. My favorite adventure game is GK2. I'm also a huge fan of Cognition, though I have yet to play the Silver Lining yet. I'm also the social media director for the upcoming Sierra Con, which I'll probably make a separate thread about. Finally, I'm a music producer/composer and if anyone else makes music I'd be interested to hear it. That is all.
I? I am the arbiter of duels, a masked officiator, an anonymous judge, a vigilante with a thirst for justice, honour and bloodshed. Should one of the duellists break the rules, I would have to kill them in the name of honour.You are the night, you are vengeance.
I found my way here from the Sierra Chest Facebook group.Hi, Quelea. Welcome! :D
I count as "new blood" as well. Though I mentioned this years ago.Yeah, but your avatar (Cedric) does not look too young, does it? :P
LOL :rofl:The attached image is the hidden 'Cedric Suffer' from Episode 4. It reminds me somebody around here. ::)
Yep, couldn't agree more.Shalkar, this is you. Just in case you couldn't figure it out.
I am looking forward to checking those out in the weeks and months ahead.I played GK1-remake last year (2015), and Moebius in March (2016). If you want anything about them, I am around here.
Welcome to the forum, Quelea! I'm new too :)Ha! Compared to Mango, I'm new!
...
...;D
Ha! Compared to Mango, I'm new!Well, ok. I'll MUST assume I'm the older guy around here ... :jafar:
Hey, GR, the Facebook guys (https://www.facebook.com/help/) have stolen your image!! And there's no reference to you ... ;)I count as "new blood" as well. Though I mentioned this years ago.Yeah, but your avatar (Cedric) does not look too young, does it? :P
