I've been lurking around these parts, and around Star Citizen in general, for some time now. I'm an early backer who has spent way to much on this game :D (hence my affiliation with the Star Citizen Compulsive Pledgers Anonymous org - the first step is admitting you have a problem :p ). My interest in SC wanes in and out every few months, as I try to find something to occupy the time until sweet sweet release day; but I've played every Live and PTU version, and I try to flag everything I can on the Issue Council as a duplicate :cool:
Things are starting to get more interesting in SC by the day, so it's time I get serious about finding an Org. I've tried out a few different ones over the past few years, but nothing has meshed with me so far. Maybe TEST will be that place I can finally call home? Maybe, maybe not. I'm a fickle creature when it comes to game guilds.
Anyway, I couldn't help posting some stuff over in the media section today. Sum1 asked for a gif from the recent april fools day dancing and I felt compelled to oblige. And since I plan on posting more here in the coming weeks/months, I think it's time I get this intro-post out of the way :D
Here's the lovely gif:
As far as the standard question-air:
I'm from Seattle, WA area. I don't remember where I first saw SC, but I was instantly drawn to it. I've been waiting for a good space sim since like... Freelancer... And I'm looking forward to doing ALL THE THINGS! in SC.
There have been a lot of 'firsts' for me with gaming, but the very first that I remember was probably Sopwith Camel. It took us way too long to realize you could turn around at the end of the map and go back :(
Other firsts include things like; Mario Bro's and Zelda for Nintendo. Hover! from that first Windows 95 install on my parents PC. The Command & Conqueror series from the first PC that my brother and I actually could call our own. Sam & Max as my first point-and-click adventure, followed by many other Sierra and Lucas Arts games (the remaster of Day of the Tentacle is worth the buy if you've never played. Just turn the music back to the old-school midi version, instead of orchestra :) ). Playing Dune 2000 at my middle school because some troll had installed in on the library computers. Counter Strike was really the first online game that was introduced to and the online lobby system blew my mind. And I, sadly, must admit that Runescape was the first MMO I played, which explains why my grades went to shit in high-school (I went to college halftime during junior/senior year, so I pretty much just fucked off in the computer lab instead of class :p ).
I'm not usually one to take drives down memory lane, so I hope you're happy.
Right now I'm playing a smorgasbord of random games, but nothing regularly. I'm looking forward to Overwatch because it looks like just about everyone and their dog is going to play that game. Other than that, I just like playiing games with my friends and will play pretty much anything if it's halfway fun.
To wrap this up: I know about Test because... who the f**k doesn't know about Test? I disregarded Test as a joke guild early on, but you guys have consistently been great, positive, and productive for the SC community. Originally, I thought I wanted to join a smaller guild... one where I knew everyone by name... but I've realized that I'd much rather be part of a larger amazing community. I want there to always be something going on in my Org that I can jump in and help out with. I also want to be part of a community of gamers that are always playing other games. I love playing with RL friends, but my circle of dudes has some of the craziest work schedules that it's difficult to coordinate.
I'm also a huuuuuge fan of Discord. I have my own little Discord community with my RL peeps, and it's so amazing that I honestly won't seriously consider any Org that isn't using it as their primary method of communication. I've been trying to move all my friends to it, so that everyone is finally communicating using the same software.
Wow, this has gotten long. I hope you guys enjoy reading.
I'm not sure I have a good answer for the Star Trek question. I never could get into the old school series, but have watched everything else. I like the new Chris Pine Kirk, but if we're going with TV series only then I'll have go with Picard. And I'll just leave this here.
:eek::rolleyes:
