The life and times of...
 

I thought this up during my boring day of work.

A thread to get to know your fellow boardmembers how you want to.

Not sarcastically, and not tongue-in-cheek-ily, but seriously.

If you have a serious question about the personality, personal life or the "why's" of another member, ask it here, and maybe we can all get to know one another a little bit better than we do?

Also, I would like to make note of the new avatar I thought up today. Purely no-doubt unoriginal.

Re: The life and times of...
 

I will start. I would like to know more about the ever elusive Gamemaster, or GM as we like to call him. He's very secrative, I want solid information, such as age, hometown, occupation, ect.

Re: The life and times of...
 

I believe he has said something about a movie theatre.

And aside from that I've gotten nothing. Me and Foxxy used to double team him on MSN and got nothing but riddles from him

Re: The life and times of...
 

Kinky
:p

But yeah I third a request for more information on Gamemaster.
A photo.
A birthday.
some type of solid information on him.

Re: The life and times of...
 

I also meant to add some sort of a "Keep in mind who you're asking, and what you're asking of them" sort of thing.

I doubt he'll come clean.

Re: The life and times of...
 

I want to know what kind of person Bond is irl.

Re: The life and times of...
 

I would like to ask a bit about Gekko's military experience and how he feels it has changed him as a person.


Also I don't think I really know anything about people like BreakABone and manasecret. So general info would do.

Re: The life and times of...
 

I've been here long enough for people to have gathered info on me, but I'll play since no one else is.

Real name Earl
Recently graduated from Alfred University with a BA in Psych.
I have a love of most things Batman and Mario if my icon didn't give it away.
Like movies for the most part, using the writer's strike period to catch up on new shows.
I once wrote a mario fanfic on these forums. I have however recently completed my first original work of fiction for National Writing Month. I wrote a 200 page novel in a month. Need to get back to editting it.
Currently gainfully unemployed and looking deseprately for work.

Anything else?

Re: The life and times of...
 

I second the GM request and the gekko request.

I've been curious about how you started your comic, who the characters represent, who writes and draws it with you, and which one of you gets the writing/drawing credits. (I think it's great.)

Like BaB I've been here and said a few things along the way to glean information on me. I have a history of posts that when I Google and bring old ones to my face, I realize how dumb they sound and (for a few) how drunk I must have been.

Real name David.
Graduated last May from Tulane University in New Orleans with a BSE in Electrical Engineering.
I was born and lived until I started university in Houston, TX.
After graduating, I moved back to my parents' home, where I currently live, while I pay off student debts.
I plan to move out in August with my girlfriend to wherever she goes to grad school, hopefully either Colorado or California.
It took a year or two for New Orleans to grow on me, but now I love it so much that I miss it every day. I visit my girlfriend there (also at Tulane until May this year) every couple weekends, which makes me very very happy.

The best thing I've ever done for myself in my life: starting September of 2004, I spent a year living abroad in Malta on a student exchange program. Every day I spend missing New Orleans I also spend dreaming about when I can go travel the world again.

Biggest bitch in my life: Katrina.

Re: The life and times of...
 

I would also like to know about DeathsHand. I have heard some things from you about you along the way, and yet you still seem mysterious.

Re: The life and times of...
 

I request information on, I guess the new class of GTers. Granted not new, but weren't around in the ancient days....

include Dyne, Dlyfon, Typhoid, Fox 6 and... whoever else thinks they fall in that gap.

Re: The life and times of...
 

Real name is Cameron
im turning 19 this april (yeah! Drinking!)
Im going back to school soon (god knows were and for what)
Yeah, im 6'7". enjoy movies, music, games etc. blah blah blah blah.
Heard about GT from Dylflon.

I'd like to learn more about Bube, and Turkey.

Re: The life and times of...
 

I'm Sean.
I'm 21 in April.
I moved out when I was 19.
I'm apprenticing sheet metal fabrication, and obviously work full time doing it.
I've done a lot of hard drugs in the past (probably in my more sporadic, un-sensical posting days) but I haven't done any in probably about a year.
I'm technically engaged.
I'm about 6'2'', but more on the 6'1'' side of things.
I'm a whopping 180 - formerly (in highschool) 220lbs.
I've been in a number of bands, and played a number of shows.
I was born in New Westminster, and have lived in Port Coquitlam since I was 5.
I've got two cats: A 3 year old fatass named CJ, and a devil-spawn kitten named Lillian.
I've played Soccer my whole life, and I'm pretty darn decent at it, as goes for Hockey.

Re: The life and times of...
 

That's a difficult thing to describe... well, you probably wouldn't hear me talking about videogames very much. Really none of my friends play them, which is why I come here to talk about games. :)

I went to a private Catholic high school and currently go to the University of Wisconsin. I'm probably going to double major in business and something else and then go onto graduate school for a degree in Hospital Administration. I'd like to run a large hospital in a city when I get older.

I'm obviously a huge Packers and Brewers fan. I used to like the Yankees actually, but I adopted the Brewers since I moved here. I've lived in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and currently Wisconsin.

Re: The life and times of...
 

I'd like to know why Typhoid decided to go into sheet metal fabrication.

Re: The life and times of...
 

Because when I was in school I liked shop class. I like physically making things, and being able to say "hey, I made that" when you see something on a new building.

Re: The life and times of...
 

You tall as hell, son.

Re: The life and times of...
 

And skinny as a tree.




A very skinny tree....

Re: The life and times of...
 

Post pics or it didn't happen...

Anyhow, I also don't know much about Swan or DarkMaster either.
I've really fallen out of touch with people here.

Re: The life and times of...
 

My girlfriend (Elaine) and myself met at Simon Fraser University in a poetry class and started dating about a month after we met. The university runs a student newspaper called the Peak and whenever we read their humour section we were disappointed by how crappy it was. We both agreed that we could make better comics than they could and so we started making our own comics. We ran them in the Peak for one semester but stopped when the humour editor changed. We hate the new humour editor so much that we don't submit our comics to the paper. I'm currently waiting for him to graduate so I can start running it there again.

The characters represent myself and Elaine. Of course they aren't really a lot like us (except in some of our comics inspired by actual conversations we've had) but they embody the sillier elements of our personality. The characters (us) are mainly there for identifiability but also sort of as a self-reflexive element to the comic since they aren't characters we made up. They're just vessels for the silly things we think up.

I write the comic and Elaine draws. We dabble in eachother's processes sometimes. Elaine has directly inspired a few of the comics as well as come up with the general ideas for a number of them. I sometimes draw small things within the comics that she is having trouble with including some objects but mostly expressions.

We've only ever had two guest writers. One of them being our very own Fox6 (Cam) who has entirely written a few comics and also wrote a few with me. And we have one comic that was written by Raphael Bob-Wakesburg of the Olde English sketch comedy troup.



And for BreakABone:

I'm 21 one in a month.
Been dating my girlfriend for 2 and 1/3 years.
In my third year of university studying film.
Currently in the editing process of a short film we shot last semester.
I work in a video store.
Uh...that's about everything that doesn't involve me delving deeper into my life. If anyone has specific questions, I can talk more later.

Re: The life and times of...
 

Here's Cam being tall/skinny and high fiving Swan

Re: The life and times of...
 

You know what the difference is between Swan and I?


I make this look goooooooooooood.

Re: The life and times of...
 

Play much basketball?

Re: The life and times of...
 

I'd like to know more about our mysterious leader, Neo.

And Crash, including a Halo armor update :D

Re: The life and times of...
 

-I'm Nathan! I turned 22 a week ago!
-I'm 6'0" and 145lbs!
-I was a teacher's favorite at my magnet elementary school before I freaked out and turned to homeschooling in the 6th grade, which I got bored of upon completing the 8th!
-I have no plans to go back to school outside of maybe getting my GED, if only to stop people from talking to me in a condescendingly slow, hyper-enunciated form of English.
-I work at a local sandwich shop, but I don't make the sandwiches! I have to turn my brain off in order to deal with the steady stream of customers throughout the lunch rush!
-I'm frequently described as either eccentric or an asshole!
-I used to have hair that was longer than most you'd find on females!
-I tend to leave social gatherings without saying goodbye for the sake of not causing a bunch of people to stare at me and feel obligated to wave!
-I have 0 confidence in myself and in others!
-My boss tells me that I'm the only person he's ever met who's turned down free money! Taking it makes me feel guilty (what did I do to deserve it?) and money, outside of "enough to get by", is for people who believe in success as defined in society and that they have a future!
-I don't really care about the starving children in Africa, or most other people or important events! Sometimes I question whether or not I can form a meaningful relationship with anybody!
-I have a number of acquaintances who are into philosophy, which I see as the art of making a mountain out of a mole hill, and even more pointless than most things that the hip kids are studying in college these days.
-I don't see a point to life, but it doesn't get me down and I don't just mope about! I'm more into zoning out, staring off into space, and not remembering events from the previous day!
-I fail to comprehend most social situations, and do not understand how to, nor see the appeal in, making small talk!!
-Some people think I sound scary on paper, and others have taken to simply referring to me as "Creepy", but I'm frequently complimented on my sense of humor, my photography, and my devilishly good looks, and can guarantee 100% that I'm less harmful than your average Joe Six-Pack!

And there you have it.

Re: The life and times of...
 

You really, really like exclamation marks!

Re: The life and times of...
 

Congrats! You just asked me the most frequent question ive ever heard!


Yes.





Plus in my last year of high school i did my public speaking assignment on being tall. I got an "A" grade. ROCK!

Re: The life and times of...
 

-My name is Dylan
-Currently 18
-Work a crappy minumum wage job in the back warehouse of a Sears
-Currently working on getting 2 bands together
-No idea what I want to do with my life, don't really care either (Any suggestions :p )
-Uh....don't really know what else to say honestly.


Ask any questions any of you would like answered



And no GM I will not tell you how big my package is

Re: The life and times of...
 

I saw my name in here somewhere, so...


In the real world I'm known as Scott. I've lived in Ontario all my life, currently working in Ottawa where it's cold and I shovel snow frequently. I studied both traditional and digital animation in college for 3 years, I now work at a studio in town, helping to produce awesome cartoon shows like Carl Squared, Jacob Two Two, 6teen, Fairly Odd Parents... and a bunch of other crap you probably never heard of if you live in the States and don't have Teletoon!

When I'm not working, I play video games! They are funs.

Re: The life and times of...
 

Well, I was here for a while before the rest. I was invited by Nemesis, but he's not around anymore. I had a forum of my own for a year, but the guy who payed for it decided to be a major asshole and cut it off out of the blue with no chance for me to renew anything. Most of the crew was there, except Fox 6 I think. After a long while, and after I started posting, I invited Dylflon here, and then most of the others followed.

As for general info, I'm Phil, 21, currently 220 and 5'11". Fourth year of university, but I need to take a fifth because the planning is horrible here. I need to take two more courses that happen only, surprise, next fall, and next spring. It really blows.

I got my ticket into the game industry through my girlfriend's old crush, who we waited in line for a Wii with. I got a job as Development Support at Propaganda Games, where I worked on Turok for 9 months. However, I'm stuck in the middle of finishing school at the same time so it's going to be a bit of a manuever getting my industry experience working on further Propaganda projects and finishing my degree at the same time. We'll see how it goes! I did work part-time on the last 3 months of Turok at Propaganda Games while still holding a full courseload at school, which a lot of people would find amazing and possibly mesmerizing, if not completely unheard-of.

Anyways, if you want to know anything else, ask.

Re: The life and times of...
 

It's the only way I can come off as enthusiastic!

Re: The life and times of...
 

is GameMaster going to answer anything?

Re: The life and times of...
 

He keeps his little shtick going for years and years and people expect him to throw it all away because they expressed an interest and asked him nicely?

Re: The life and times of...
 

haha I didn't expect anything.
Thought would be cool to ask though.

do you mind sharing any of your photos? Said you were into photography, right?

Re: The life and times of...
 

I so totally thought you were asking him because he's "frequently complimented" on his "devilishly good looks" before I read the second sentence.

Re: The life and times of...
 

*shrug*... Closest thing I have to a hobby, although I hardly get out and do it...
Personally I think the only reason people compliment my pictures is because they're only used to seeing their families''s' vacation pictures...









Those are all very yellowish-brown, oh well...
I also recorded my avatar!

Hey, I never said you could quote me on that one.

Re: The life and times of...
 

GM will never answer anything.


Since all ya'll got to see a picture of me, I would find it rather neat if you all shard a picture (if you want).

Re: The life and times of...
 

If we are going down that route should either bump the old pictures thread or introduce a new one.

As dor DsH, pretty sweet photos. A fan of the first especially.

Re: The life and times of...
 

Re: The life and times of...
 

Fucking brilliant.
