In the middle of Mass Effect 3/JSR now, and I always play some TF2 or BFBC2 or LoL when I can.
Yep , it is
visited shanghai twice so far. My plan is to live and work in china. Hopefully very soon!
My name's John and I am 29 and a half from England. I'm married to a wonderful woman and have a house and a cat. I work in educational admin but really I like to be a creative person, so I write and play bass in a band. I often feel I'm not as productive as I should be, but then I look back on all the crazy stuff I've made over the years and I'm quite proud of myself and my friends. I think life is all about what you leave behind in the world rather than what you can take.
Sorry! It would better if I didn't talk about the Backstreet Boys too, right?

You know, before I started lurking here, due to things I've read on other places I always had this idea of GAF as a kind of police state, a very heavily moderated forum, where anything remotely funny was banned, and people only gathered to talk about gaming news, without any sense of community or friendship. That's why I was so surprised when I began reading some threads, and saw that it wasn't that way at all. Yes, it has stricter moderation than other forums, but that's actually for the better, or else it would be more difficult to have interesting and civilized discussions. A certain amount of trolling is also permitted, if it's appropriate, and there's lot of humor spread all around the forum. There's a lot of beautiful people here: wise, smart, funny, silly, bitter, happy, depressed, it doesn't matter. They are all fantastic. This is a great place, and seeing all the affection in Scorcho's thread makes me see that yes, GAF is indeed a kind of family.
Wow, I really should stop ranting and go back to work.
You can stay at my home, but you'll be brutally probed at the airport on your way here. At least I'm no psycho criminal, or am I? I'll even let you play with my dog.
Wow, you reminded me how bad the IGN forums were. I stayed mostly at the Nintendo boards, which were full of trolls, and both pro and anti-Ninty fanboys. Dark times indeed.
sorry I'm late getting back to this thread, been busy today
Long story short I was 21, living in Missouri, she was 28, living in Illinois. We were both doing the online dating thing and weren't having much luck. On a lark I signed up for the "meet me" portion of hotornot.com. I sent her a message and we hit it off. I am originally from Chicago, and was looking for a chance back. Things were going well conversationally and such, and she had a spare bedroom, so she offered to let me move in and if it worked out between us, great, and if not, we would just be roommates for a bit until I could get on my feet back here in IL. So she actually drove for 5 hours to where I was living in MO and picked me up, and then we drove back to her place with my stuff in her car, and the rest is history. Been together for 7.5 years now. Our fifth wedding anniversary is in just a couple weeks
Linh can be a boy's name??? LOL
I do have one uncle named Tam and one aunt named Tam!
You can still get here by walking.
This was my first thought after seeing your pic, lol.
Lmao. I always thought I was the John Smith of Vietnamese names being Tam Nguyen. It's one of the reasons why I go by the pseudonym Johnny, most people invariably call me John anyhow. I have an aunt named Phuong as well. That's how you know you're Vietnamese, you've got a relative named Phuong :l You should take a shot at the art thing BTW. My sister went to the School of Visual Arts for cartooning. Everyone in my family opposed it, but life's short; sometimes you gotta follow your calling. I'm sure Scorcho would tell you the same if he was still around :/
I have a cousin named Linh and another one named Phuong (and yes, Nguyen is my name). So your post freaked me out, but then I remembered my cousin is married, so she's probably not named Nguyen anymore.
