So...

Post by WunderSchlampe »

Hi...

Afraid someone will shoot me in the head for this, but,
I am not a gamer, like not at all, I mean I don't even have windows installed on my computer...
Probably would play like an idiot - i.e. do nothing ELSE - were I so dumb to start (I used to play
extremely lameclick and find games with severe enthousiasm when I was little - as I said: like an idiot.)
My point: am a severely addicted to everything story or plotlike, my life would be the best
if I were allowed to watch films, read books, write stuff 24/7. This one addiction is sufficient, going to
work in the evening is hard enough already.

A good friend told me about 5punk and I was like hullow I'll be kicked out headfirst... He assured
me of the contrary so here I am.. I live together with a bunch of gaming, roleplaying freaks and lets
face it, once overdosed it gets a bit difficult to act like a person again when around 'normal' people...
I'm inclined to delete that last line... But I guess I don't need to be politically correct, do I?

Oh, something else I should probably say right out: don't tell me what your favourite book is, 'cause
if everyone did that I'd have to read about a zillion of em

Welcome :wave:

There are plenty of amazing games that focus heavily or even solely on story and/or character development. You should give it a shot 8)

I just 'played' through 'Dear Esther', beautiful story and you don't need to do much, just go along for the ride and the haunting but utterly beautiful story

I'm a great fan of Kitchen Confidential, the works of Mark Thomas, The hitchhiker's guide trilogy are the best 5 books ever.

Good to see you on here, gets me one step closer to the master of rings award.

En het voordeel van een landgenoot te hebben is dat ze ons niet kunnen verstaan, de bende strandjeanetten. :P

Anyway, I'm sure you'll like it here and that everyone will treat you fairly and with respect.

(actually, they won't.)

Hello!

We are all rubbish at games, so you'll fit in well.

My favourite book is not Fifty Shades of Grey.

Welcome to 5punk :wave:

Being anywhere near competent at games is certainly not a requirement here, and if you but glance down, you'll see we talk about about lots of other stuff, too. Although mostly games, admittedly.

Loes!

We're about more than just (video)games now, we do some forum old school pen and paper roleplaying stuff (also known as bearding), and you might not want to look at the movie/book review threads. Or in fact the entertainment section at all.

If you fancy a game which is apparently more story than game, The Walking Dead has just been rated highly. You might have to install Windows first though. In fact, no Windows? Does that make you a craft Linux type or a cravat-wearing Mac user? Or possibly neither.

Hallo! We're (not so) secretly terrible at games, although we've got some rather good GM's on here for our forumised paper and pen games. We've also got some excellent story writers.

Consider yourself respectfully and fairly threatened! With kittens and marshmallows. Evil mix really. Especially if you put them on sticks in a fire. They go all hot and burny on the inside and make a terrible screaching sound.

Er...yeah, not many normal people around here to be honest, so no need to fret about that either!

I'm guessing you're wriggling your toes in anticipation Tim Shafer's next offering?

Welcome! :wave:

Real life in the land of Skyrim takes up most of my time nowadays, so the games I do get to play don't seem that fun anymore. The game of 'Work' is a dull and grindy MMRPG, and those causal games like 'Washing up' never keep me entertained for long.
