DON'T TRUST HIM! He's only in it for discount burgers and chicken nuggets!
You're all old farts.

Nevermind, I like my limbs where they are.


Moving on. Hi.
Don't expect me to be active or actually contribute anything.
I think that'll do for a nice little intro.

Welcome then! Have fun not contributing! (PS. I approved the game submission you submitted to the site)
Thank you and (PS. Thank you)

But I never said I wouldn't.
I just said don't expect me to.
I'm Shinan. I'm a twenty-something from Finland. I used to be a member of the previous rpgmaker.net but I haven't touched RPGmaker in a couple of years, you can probably wonder why I'd join if I haven't touched the maker but I just felt like I wanted to do it. The triggering response was actually kentona's sig on Gaming World where he basically said "tired of never getting a mainsite? Go to RMnet". I like that. So I went. I will also attempt to lurk on IRC though there never seem to be anything happening the times I've been lurking there.

I've been in the community for quite a while and it's been ages since I did an introduction post so I don't really know what to say. My interest are Speculative Fiction. Which I have come to the conclusion is a pretty darn big interest. It means I watch SF movies, read SF literature, play SF games, attend SF cons and generally discuss SF all over the place. I'm a huge nerd and a fairly stereotypical one at that (the one sitting indoors getting pale and not having any Real Life. Hell technically I occasionally even live in my parent's basement.).

I'm also occasionally involved in local amateur theatre. Something that started a couple of years ago. The last three years I've been in about two plays/year and it's fairly fun. This winter I will have my biggest part yet with somewhere around 250 lines.

RPGs are usually an SF subject, since most RPGs are set in an SF world. Which is why I'm interested in them. I said earlier that I don't touch RPGMaker with a ten foot pole anymore but I'm still fairly interested in gamemaking. I'm mostly working with Adventure Game Studio nowadays and tend to talk crap about people obsessing about RPGMaker and especially those that automatically assume that any question about making a system is about RM. (example: I ask about ideas for a user interface for a game and the answer comes in stuff like 'using pictures as overlays' and 'global events' and 'cms' when all I want is comments on placement of elements and how much information is needed on a GUI)

You shouldn't think badly about me just because I don't like RM though. I'm generally a nice non-confrontonal person. I will rarely flame or post one-liners. There are many posts I'm halfway done writing and then press the back button because I think to myself "This doesn't really add anything to the discussion". Sometimes (like this here) I get carried away and write these long essay-things about things that have long since moved away from the topic at hand.

But again, please don't think badly of me just because of this.

On favorite games I have a bunch. I like gameplay over story. And atmosphere over story. And freedom over story. Tetris is my definition of a perfect game, a game that cannot really improve. When it comes to RPGs I'm also a tabletop RPG guy (though like people assuming gamemaking = RM, I also dislike people who assume RPG = D&D) and in my RPGs I want as much of that translated into the computer as possible. To me an RPG is a simulation. My favorite CRPGs are Fallout and Arcanum.

And the best game this year has been Portal.

Goddamn this was long. I'm sorry.
Bruno Everton, 13 Years, Event Programmer in R2k, and Mapper in RMXP =D Nice to meet you guys!

Oh, by the way, I found my PSP a long time ago. It was under the seat in my girlfriend's car, which is a pretty logical place to have left it.

and for another, I know Jubei well enough, and pretty soon, he'll probably tell you to stop anyway.
