Introduce Yourself!

Hello all! If you're new to the forums, you can post a little bit about yourself here if you feel the need.

Well, I voted for this thread, so I might as well participate. I'm a senior in high school, and I live in Southern California. I'm a ridiculously huge fan of Mystery Science Theatre 3000, as well as many other comedy shows, like Family Guy, Sea Lab, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

I recently got re-aquainted with games from my childhood, and that, in turn, got me involved with classic gaming in general. My favorite older system is the Sega Genesis.

me yeah I guess I am annoying and well I can be nice if I am pisse dI can be mean, well I am in Junior High school as an 8th grader, 13 years old I have been a gamer most my life, I Hate Grand theft Auto. I like Konami Capcom Hudson, nintendo sega and lucas arts. I am a big fan of resident evil, Zelda, Megaman Castlevania Bomberman and Metroid. I like all systems but just not like the X-box for some reason, yeah I am guess ing most people think I am stupid behind my back, but I am fine with that, thats all for now.

Name: Jason
Age: 17
Job: Hardee's (fast food joint)
Hobbie's: anything Nintendo (big NES gamer about to get a Game Cube), Im not a big fan of xbox except Halo and all sony has is Grand Theft Auto. But Nintendo has Mario, Metroid, Zelda and since they got Sega, Nintendo now has Sonic too so Nintendo rules all. I also like metal or rap music too.

thats all about me.

I think I already wrote that somewhere else, but again for all who don't know yet.

I'm a student at Munich University. My major is Japanese studies. My minors are Chinese studies and Theoretical Linguistics.

My favourite music band is Kiroro (they're from Okinawa).
I love movies (Jackie Chan, Asian movies in general, Star Wars, LotR,...), The Simpsons, Futurama, etc.

I'm 25 (26 this year), married, a bit over 6 feet tall, around 172lbs.

Hey y'all.
My name's Matt. I'm a 22 year old librarian noise/electro acoustic musician who chanced upon this forum and instantly went as giddy as school girl. I was a HUGE gaming fan back in the 80's and early 90's. It occupied a hefty chunk of my life. I became thoroughly jaded with recent developments in the videogame world and gradually stopped playing all together. It wasn't until very recently whilst hunting for some NES ROMs I could use for sound samples that I stumbled upon Nes Files and downloaded a few NES ROMs and fell completely in love with the NES again.

I used to be alright at Nintendo but I've lost any modicom of skill that I used to have. I'm going to have to rebuild my skills again. I'll start with the basics that I have already finished countless time in the past until I get to a point where I can actually beat Ghosts N' Goblins. Perhaps that's wishful thinking .

Anywho, I'm exceptionally pleased a found this place and expect alot of input from me.

Well, y'all know me, but you don't "know" me. I'll do it anyway.

Heya, I'm Sam, male, 15 years old.

Like basically everyone else here, I've loved video games all my life. I don't really like old video games better than new ones(and Vice-versa), but generally, my favorite games are from the SNES or Playstation.

I've got a pretty big interest in Anime, too, but it's not nearly as large as my love for video games.

Heck, let's just throw everything in one category and say I love stuff from Japan.

My other interests include writing, piano, and buying weird stuff off eBay.

I'm 15. I'm male. I love to play video games, and have been collecting...since, well since my brother has in 1989. So since then. My brothers and me have built up a collection of over 200 hunderd games. I also like to hang around with my friends, playing football (use to play hockey a lot, but the strike on hockey really never helped us get in the mood to play hockey ) Also, I love buying games. I don't know...I just love having 30 bucks in my hand, and going to EBgames. Also, I like hanging out with my brothers.

Name:Ian
Age:26
I've been playing video games since the 2600 days.Just got into collecting the games last fall.

...

I'm a USN Hospital Corpsman (fancy words for medic) living in Yokosuka, Japan for at least the next 3 years.

I'm almost 31 years old and have a cool wife and 3 sons ages 11, 9 (years) and 7 months. My other interests are cars (ASE certified mechanic),tearing things apart to see how they work and pursuing my engineering degree.

someone is older than Roth again.

Im 15 years old. im a male. 10th grader. i grew up with an MSX and an NES, so i have a huge interest in video games.

Well, what are the basic things you need to know about me?

My real name is Christoffer. I was born and grew up in Haugesund, Norway. I am currently a High School student.

I enjoy all kinds of cult cartoon shows. Talk shows in general is something I find enjoyable, especially after a hard day at school. TV is my friend, to say the least.

I am also a collector, and among those things that I collect, you'll find NES Games and merchandise. Movies is also a huge part of my collection, all kinds of movies, really. I try to get the most essential and classic "must have" movies into my collection. I have shelves upon shelves of TV cartoon series in special edition boxes. Such as "The Simpsons" and " The Mike Judge Collection Volumes".

I also enjoy drawing, and I make small cartoon strips for my own personal pleasure. Maybe I'll try to make something more out of it some day, I'm not sure.

I guess that's all for now. If it's anything you have on your mind, then PM me.

).
I collect Barbies (

I also enjoy reading (I'd have to say I've probably read more books for enjoyment than 90% of the population). I enjoy cooking and baking (not just my brain cells!). I'm computer challenged when it comes to the technical/mechanical part of it (which is funny because my father a computer genius) and you'd think I would have learned something since I have had my own computer since I was 8 years old for pete's sake!
I'm also a horrible speller (which you have probably already noticed from all my posts). My grammer is sometimes off as well (it's pretty bad when I have a foreigner for a husband whom is always correcting me on it).
If I could do one thing in this world I would get rid of all the feminists; they suck and have "ruined" my dream job (of laxing around being a housewife).

My name is David. Hence my user name. I'm 20 years old. Which is old. I'm about 5' 8/5' 9. Not fat, not thin. I live in England. I enjoy gaming (obviously). Also, reading, films, music. I'm not religous. I hate the "crazy frog" if I were an animal i'd be a sloth/baboon hybrid. My favourite TV shows are Seinfeld, The Sopranos, Alan Patridge and Curb your enthusiasm.

The Sopranos RULE!!! I love that show!!!
Pauly Walnuts is GREAT.

The Sopranos RULE!!! I love that show!!!
Pauly Walnuts is GREAT.

Oh yeah, he's a very funny man.
I Paulie from the soprano's quips (especially the on about the "bon bon" concession) I would like to see him in sitcom with Silvio as two mis matched flat mates trying to conquer the complexities of everyday life (food shopping etc) or, silivio paulie and crissy in a "three stooges" type show. The possibilities are endless

My name is Cleighten I'm 25 years old, I got my first NES when I was 8 years old and ever since then I've been obsessed with video games. I currently work as an Electronics Technican repairing TVs and home theater systems, though in my spare time love to modify game systems.. I've a modded Dreamcast and a NES plus plans to mod my Sega Saturn. If you have broken or unwanted systems or parts please think about donating them to me!!

i just found this board because i woke up to find NES Forums dead and burried.. so i needed a new place for NES-related socializing. Not that I'm a very active member of the scene or anything.. mostly just lurk and once in a while say something.
But yeah, this place seems pretty cool.. better than NES Forums anyways.. why didn't anybody mention it before?!
Website plug: i do a site called NES Alley.. It's not much, but it's got a section for Bionic Commando and one for Milon's Secret Castle. also a section for the band Rilo Kiley (Jenny Lewis from the Wizard).. and also a section for some NES ROM hacks I've made ("Zelda II: The Adventure of Link: The Adventure of Error", "Maniac Mansion : Rilo Kiley Version", "Mario's Secret Castle", "Bionic Metroid") so feel free to check it out if you want.

Welcome to The Nes Files defgav. So the first I heard of Nes Forums closing was reading this thread. The only reason that that news bothers me really is that for the moment there is no forum for NES Achievers. I need the world to know I just finished Felix the Cat!

I haven't been here in forever! I was a noob when I posted here before.... so.... I'm going to introduce myself again.

DUDE! nice to see you back. I havent seen you posting forever!

Because, I was piled up with home work. XP

Hey, I would say the same thing, a lot of homework for me as well!

Hi, I'm NESKid, and I came across these boards while looking for a good NES Related website. Although I can't say I'm hardcore Next-gen gamer (I have a Gamecube ad Dreamcast, 4 and 2 games respectively). I do have about 30 NES Games and adding more, aswell as a SNES, N64, and Genesis. Anyway, I hope to enjoy my time here.

I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy yourself here, welcome to the nesfiles!

well..... if its something, just ask

eh? Are you guys posting from the same account right now or something?...

I'm a bit confused here

i think he accidentaly , put his answer in the quote, at the bottom.

It seems they are posting from the same IP address...

Anyways, welcome to the forums.

probably because the dude went to nes rules house. Welcome to the forums.

I'm not that new but I never posted a reply to this thread so...

My real name is Ian. I'm from Brampton, Ontario, Canada...just outside Toronto. I play the bass (hence the Ghost Toaster NES covers). I also operate my site, RIP Games, which is a site dedicated to game help (walkthroughs, cheats...). I just recently started getting hardcore into collecting, before I went staright for the good stuff (Megaman, RPGS ect...) now I collect pretty hardcore, got 143 carts now. I came here in search of a place to discuss NES, because other forums kept getting hacked and what not.

eh? Are you guys posting from the same account right now or something?...

I'm a bit confused here

I've introduced myself in the wrong topic. I'm Gautami. I'm a BIG NES fan; & this is the first forum I've posted in. I found this site while searching for NES Games.

I'm a big fan of the game, The Guardian Legend. As you may have guessed, I qualify for "worst user name ever". I don't think the name sounds bad though, for a microsoft word font. Thanks again to Roth & NES-luke for the bigger avatar, & thanks to the new MSN for finding this site. I've should've introduced myself sooner.
you may have seen an avatar around of alyssa(Guardian Legend)transforming; as of this post, she's taking a break. But Hibiki(Last Blade 2)is filling her spot for the time being. like defgav, I post once in a while too, but not willingly(49.2k connection, for ten hours a month). Well, at least it's free.

I'm a dreamcast fan, too.

i have also never replied to this thread my name is Rudy i'm 23 years old i'm a big guy 6'4 back on christmas day of 2004 my dog of 8 years passed away i was really feeling terrible until i found Nesfiles this place really helped me out when i was going threw a really hard time.

Well, I've been here a while, but seeing as I don't really take too many pictures of myself...

My name is Adrian, but most of my friends refer to me as "man" and "dude". I live in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan (51st state pretty much). I'm 6'1" and 235 lb. My hobbies (beyond gaming) are playing bass trombone, participating on the local high school bowl team (Quiz bowl), and collecting decent flicks. I'm currently in my senior (12th) year of school and I intend on pursuing a career in physics, preferrably quantum (no joke). My NES collection is at 175 right now and I came to NESFILES as I was in search of those with a similar interest.

Hello! I'm newly registered, thought I might as well write a bit about myself!
As I mentioned in my first post, my English is not the best but I'm trying!
Please correct me if I make huge mistakes in my posts. It's the only way of learning, right?

The name's Gina, I'm 19 years old and I live in Sweden.
I'm 166 cm tall, and weigh about 60 kg.
I'm blonde, I have this fluffy 80's kind of haircut, with lots and lots of hairspray, I have a bit of an 80's fever..
I like hanging out with my friends, playing video games, dancing and listening to music. My favourite kind of music is Eurobeat, italo-disco, techno, J-pop.. Well, I listen to many different kinds of music actually..
My favourite NES Games are: Maniac Mansion, Super Mario Bros. 1, 2 AND 3! I also like Blades of Steel although sportsgames are usually not very much my taste.. Oooh and Rad Racer, I like that one too! Hmm I almost forgot to mention that wacky one, Mario Brothers.you know the one with the crabs and flies and the icemachine.. the one that never ends I think.. ^^

Well well, that's enough about me!

I'm Joe(if you couldn't tell from my username) and I'm 14. I enjoy NES and my Playstation2. Can't wait for the PS3! Only $500 to go! LOL. I have had an NES before but sadly enough I sold it when I was about 10 or 11. I thought I didn't want it anymore. But now here I am: a 14 year old boy who loves video games but has no NES. How sad. Anyway, like I said I love video games. I've been playing them ever since I was about 4 years old. So I have been playing for about 10 years. I am currently a freshman in High School. Fresh meat as some of the seniors call us. I am kind of a computer nerd. I love rock music. I can't stand rap. The closest thing that comes to rap that I listen to is Gorillaz newest album Demon Days. Well, I know all of you are probably sick of reading my bio but hey that is what this thread is for. Well, I go now. Bye!

DementedJoe u remind me of myself in the future(1 year) except i still have my NES.

Well thanks I think. Even though I'm not entirely sure why I'm thanking you. I'm glad you feel that way? I'm like a role model now! LOL

Hi, my name is Danny, and I'm a NES-aholic

I'm 20, I work for an ISP in Val-d'Or, Quebec
I play electric guitar, I love heavy metal music! Metallic, Iron Maiden, etc.

I shave my head, like to wear clothes with retro-stuff on it (like one of my tees has a mario on it )

Life is simple over here, we go out to bars, hang out with my friends, and...most of all...play video games

I found out about this site looking for some walkthroughs for NES Games and I really liked looking at the forums here, so I decided to join.

Happy I did

My webpage is

My nick is Guitarboy if anyone is interested

My webpage is also a forum, but it's in french

Sorry, I don't speak French, but that's okay. Welcome to the NES Files! Hope you enjoy your stay and blah blah blah blah blah whatever else. Just scroll up and you can see what they say to the new people(i hate being called a "noob" or "newbie" so I didn't call you that). I'm just kidding, really welcome to the site! Hope we here more from you!

BTW nice avatar. I know most people here HATE that damn dog(pardon my French) I think there is even a thread on it. Roth, can you give the guy a link? Once again, welcome to the site.

welcome Joe. if you need and help about repairing old NES's this is the place to get it.

thanks for the warm welcome

Welcome to the forums Joe.

Well, I'm not sure but I could just be pushing the flag up the "oldest" flagpole here. I'm 31. Married very happily with two sons aged 18 months and 1 week (yes, one week today!). I have been a big fan of NES 8-bit since I can remember glueing my eyes to the screen to figure out the pixels that made up the blocks in Zelda. If I'd have known then that today I would be able to just run the Zelda NES ROM in an emulator on a PC and disassemble it and find the tiles verbatim, I probably still would have spent those many hours playing! My feelings are it was a sad day when 3-d gaming took over the world and 2-d platformers were left struggling for breath. To that end I join the fray here today with a quest...

I have been amazed by the quantity of technical information available today for NES, the emulators, the in-depth descriptions of programming it, etc. So, as I was looking into all of it and re-living my youth (and at the same time getting my oldest son almost as Hooked as I was) by playing SMB on my PC, I decided to try my hand at writing a game.

That was where the fun started and soon ended for two reasons:

1. I have almost no artistic talent and didn't want to just do NES ROM hacks , and

2. I found the wealth of tools available lacking in their consistency, coherency, or whatever you want to call it. I was spending way too much time trying to figure out how to get the right tool to do the right job.

So, my ten years of software engineering professional experience prevailed and I decided to create a tool...partly to help myself accomplish the game creation Goal but then unselfishly I realized it quite possibly could help others.

I even came up with a catchy name...NESICIDE -- the NES Incredibly Cool Integrated Development Environment.

My vision for this tool is for it to be a complete development environment for NES running in Windows. So far I have it working good enough to generate palettes, pattern tiles, attribute- and name-tables. It has an integrated sourcecode editor, export features for exporting any artifact from the tool in either source or assembled binary format. It also has a "ROM snooper" that allows those of you who "legally" can to load a NES ROM file and go trolling for pattern tiles. I have not even touched the music/sfx side of things yet, so that is where I'll ask the burning question:

Is there any interest out there in an IDE for NES development? I would be more than willing to fire off a copy of the work in progress to any interested parties.

Thanks, and I look forward to any replies. Keep gaming.

Great first post! You sound almost like roth! His sons already into Nes .

ive been watching your site for a while i finally decided to become a member

im from brisbane australia, im a student studying graphic design, and the
course ends this year.

my first gaming experience came with the nes, which we gto for christmas
then i got a super nes, master system and megadrive, pc , ps1, ps2,
x-box.

i decided half way through this year to start collecting video games/systems, after finding my nes, megadrive, super nes, in my gerage,and i mostly collect sega, nintendo, playstaion, and x-box , i dont have a bad collection, but it could always be bigger.

i really enjoy collecting and hunting for more stuff which i dont mind travelling to far for, and i really enjoy your site.

Welcome to the forums!

In regards to NESICIDE's question, yeah, I'd be interested in a full IDE for NES. I don't really get enough time to actually learn how to program for the NES right now, but I'm hoping I'll get more time in the future. I've been (slowly) studying 6502, and I've been trying to learn other languages. I'm a n00b in programming, and I'm only in my second year at my community college. Unfortunately, the college I'm attending seems to be lacking in some areas. I do what I can though Anyway, I'm babbling now, so I'd definitely be interested in seeing what you have done.

Roth, tried emailing you at your gmail account and got postmaster bounceback.

I sent you a PM. I think I know what the problem may have been.

I have been visiting NES files for longer than I have been on the forums, mostly for the MIDIs and stuff, however I first picked up that square, painfull controller when I was 3 and began annihilating Goombas posthaste. Since then I have been barraged with suggestions for Playstation things, mostly from people so loaded they had everything from every company and did everything the told them to. Thus far I have been "Loyal" to Nintendo, but am thinking about getting a PS2 once they come out with the PS3 and the price drops.

For those of you still perplexed about my name, I will mention now that it sounds like the name of a Mob Boss. I am Italian, after all.

Hi there, welcome to the forums. As for your name, I think I have an idea to what it is. I won't say anything though.

Actually I'll give one last hint. It was the bald doctor's name in Dr. Dolittle. (The one with Eddie Murphy)

Hello.
I don't like introductions. Thus my delay in posting here.
I'm Jack, born in 1983. I'm a student for a few more months.
After that I have no plans.
I collect NES and play all video games that are enjoyable. No bias against any system....only against niche handhelds systems and controllers.
I like to think that I'm to the point. Sometimes I compare myself to Holden Caufield. That spelling may be incorrect.

The music I enjoy is primarily rock or 'punk' rock, and with some Hip Hop that I find enjoyable. I can also stand listening to the Dixie Chicks song, "roaming soldier" or something. But no other country really.

hey man! Glad to see you here!

Ok...Everyones giving their full profile so...heres mine.

Real Name: Casey Matthews
Age: 13 (14 on Oct. 27)
Intrests: Video-Games, Guitar, and making little comic books. I have one famous comic book...Not really famous but people think they're funny. I call the comic "Shining Metal Dragon." Its about a 19 year old named Joey Cager (Steel Cage) who lives in the modern future (around 2050.) He is majorly injured and in the future, they have created an injection that can cure almost anything, even heal wounds and stuff like that. But it had a side effect that was differnet for every person because the injection would mutate the person. It was the only thing to keep Joey Cager alive, so they gave it to him and he mutated giving him the POWer of metal.

OK now I'm getting too much into detail. But its quite popular among my peers and is VERY violent as in gorey. Well...thats about it.

I cannot believe I forgot about this site for nearly a year and I come back and my account is just how I left it. This place has really improved and I am not going to let that happen again, you will all see much more of me fron now on.

William is my name and I'm 30, got addicted to games through the old Itellivision (sp) and got even more Hooked through NES.
Would save my lunch money all week and rent 2 or 3 games every weekend at Blockbuster to be able to play such a wide range of games, no way was a 14 year old gonna aford $50 a game

Intellivision

Logan is the name, if you didnt figure that out, I am 21 with a kid on the way (13 weeks to-date). I work for Coke as a serVice technition. Just started to break out the NES and fell in love all over again. I did some ebaying, searched the web, and ended up here.

P.S. Im looking for anything cheaaap!!! Accessories, Games, Controllers, and Hookups (ie. POWer, RFU adapter) for the NES. I dont care about the cosmetic shape of most things, except games, because im a modder in training. Dont be afraid to say hello!!! see ya on the forums........

Word.

Got invited over to this place by Zen, and it looks like a place I could get to liking, plus I see a few familiar faces. I've been an NES fan my whole life, and I'm guessing that like most members here I play my NES way more than I play anything else I own. I've been a regular over at the VGC NES forums since 2001, serving as a moderator for about two years, so I've got forum experience. I lurk way more than I post, and only post when I need to say something.

I'm 20, I am an engineering student at Arizona State University, and theoretically really should grow up or something like that, but there's no signs that that's going to happen any time soon.

My favorite game is Startropics, and I'm also a sucker for puzzle games.

Outside of video games, I drum and teach drumlines for a couple high schools.

Does Z.E.N not make fun of you for saying "Word."?

Welcome.

From here, lived my whole live in Chandler until I moved closer to ASU for school.

And No, I've never gotten that from ZEN.

Welcome!

Growing up is over-rated.
ASU has a nice campus; minus all that adobe colour... (yuck).

About me: I'm a jack of all trades. My interests are playing football, hockey, and wrestling(real stuff, no WWE shit), going to bars, and going to concerts. I'm also an avid poker player, trying to get 1-3 games a week. Me and my friends run the games, anywhere from 4 to 15 people at once. Finally, i'm into muscle cars and racing, with a '55 chevy bel air me and my dad are going to repair, and save for a 72 Chevelle. Part of a car club SOS Racing.

And white castle Connoisseur.

With the NES, I've always liked it, and started collecting about six years ago. I originally got rid of my original setup before that, but then regretted it. I'm up to 206 games for the NES so far, with many others over SNES, Sega Genesis, Game Boy, PS1, PS2. N64, and Gamecube.

Welcome! White Castle...I've heard plenty and want to try. For some reason the won't open 'em up here on the West coast.
Both sound like very awesome cars.
And to One Generation Too Late--unfortunately no pics. --I need to get my printer & scanner working again..
And I can't figure out how to snip people's text to make these refrences to past postings SHORTER...yes, I'm a tard. Please help....

I used to love White Castle, then I lived across the street from one for a year and I have to tell you in the summer (when you have the windows open) that is a HORRIBLE smell. I also used to hear the drive through person with their ebonic talk.

Not to mention all the drunk people loitering outside of it.

Anyways, "welcome" to you all the the new members!

So that's why I've never seen one.

So that's why I've never seen one.

no offense supposed to be taken or anything from anyone,
but i think the PSP is the least outta those others..

Hey, I'd rate the PSP higher than a 3DO, at the very least.

He rated th PSP lower than the XBox,NES,N64,Sega Genesis. Which I agree with.

I know, but it had to be mentioned that it isn't all that bad...

I've been feeling kind of bad for the PSP as of late (note: I said , not Sony), because it has a hell of a lot of potential, but no one's really doing anything noteworthy gamewise.

After all, the average game quality for it is more or less decent, which is more than you can say for the 3DO. (Road Rash does not, I repeat, does make up for the five billion lame concept games!)

Road Rash pwnz your face off

Road Rash pwnz your face off

Yes, and so did Space Hulk (as woefully treated as it was). But neither game could... ... make up for the

"Winners don't do drugs"

Space Pirates looks pretty intense, and i'd play it even if it was horribly horrible, just because of the name....

Yes, I play it because of the name, long, long ago... and now I'm scarred for life. Thanks a lot, Past-Self.

I'm not so good with intros......
My true name is of no consequence but my common alias is Teon. I am one of the four webmasters of the Woot Outpost, a site dedicated to video games, multimedia, and randomness. I study Bo-jutsu or the art of staff fighting.Lightgun games are my specialty but my favorite game is between Ocarian of Time and FF7. Zero Wing pwns you all!!!!!1

And for those not fluent in Japanese, koryu means old ways.......

Welcome, Master of the Old Ways. It sounds like you've got some interesting hobbies.
Nice avatar, and might I ask what the game is in the sig image?

That would be Zero Wing.

Yes, Zero Wing. Maker of the worst translation ever(Even worse than Master of Unlocking), but can someone tell me why there are dancing raisins at the end?

EDIT: srry, eggplants.

You worry to much over small matters. Ask instead whay there are Happy Pink Cow life POWerups in 1943/45.

I came across this forum, I was looking for some Nes collecting forums.

You have the same birthday as my niece! (She's like a daughter to me)! She's born the same year too!

Wow, What are the odds of that? I remember in Grade school they would say our birthday over the PA system well when it was the 23erd of Jan they said mine I was the only one I felt good!

Hi. I'm Hounder and some of you know me. I was kinda shocked to realize I didn't know a lot of people on this board. I do know Roth who lives less than an hour away from me and we still haven't done anything together yet

I've been in the scene a little over 2 years now and collect sealed and complete games. I'm also the owner of one of the 4 unreleased Airball protos I don't remember how I really came here even though it was like 2 days ago.

I'm always up for trade if it's something I don't have. Hope to meet some of you guys around the boards

Heya Hounder :) Cool to see you over here. We'll get together sometime... when we quit talking about it and do it haha

Hi there Hounder, welcome to the NES files. I hope you like it here.

After 2 years of not getting an e-mail activation thingy... I finally resigned up, and finally got it. Why did it take so long? I just about gave up with AOL not allowing anything through, and now that I have ATT, I won't have to worry about that. Here I am! ehm.. what do I do?

I am currently studying Computer Engineering in high school. (lots of fun) I am a budding webmaster with a website which is aimed at all kinds of things. go ahead and stop by sometime. Also, I design games in flash.

Welcome to the forums Stroh.
