I got a mad urge to make an account here and introduce myself to the current generation.
Anyway, some of you will remember me and many of you will not. I was one of the so called ' Golden Era ' members from when the site first started back in 2001. Well, it was a more of shouting box for whiny teenagers to moan about everything and create incredibly cheesy libs full of ( mostly ) useless sprites where half the file size was taken up by a splash screen full of everyone's characters at the end ( called ' furries ' back then - the word means something completely different now! )
Also, we hated SFGHQ back then because we felt they mistreated newbies ( though it more of a case of both sides been immature. ) which led to me creating Anti - SFGHQ, though things eased off as a result afterwards between the two sites. Damn, I was pretty immature back then!
However, life went on, people grew up and things changed. I've drifted away from here because I lost interest in fan game making ( I'll still play one on occasion. ) Personally, I am still trying to figure out who I want to be when I grow up and have done a few computer related courses in recent times. I've become involved with the Irish Fighting Game Community and while I don't play any fighting games seriously anymore - I will still go to events on occassion and have volunteered at Celtic Throwdown ( basically the biggest fighting game event in Ireland ) the last 2 years. I go under the username ' Misty Chaos ' in that community, proving just how bad I am at coming up with non cringey usernames!
Aside from Fighting Games, I'm now active in World of Warcraft ( don't worry, I haven't turned into one of the kids from that South Park episode ) I am also active in certain circles of Twitch as well, more as a viewer than an actual streamer ( though I have dabbed in it. )
These days, I'm more of a PC gamer than console gamer, buying my first laptop that wasn't a cheap piece of crap about a year ago ( yes, I know it would be cheaper and better to actually build a PC but I want portability and didn't have the space for a PC. )
So there we go,a brief intro to who I am and what I've been up to, now back to lurking!
