Was the n word even a thing in Britain? Seems like a dodgy American import. I wasn't even aware of the word growing up.

My mum says it sometimes.

I am 32 and coming in March to have sex with Jedeye and laugh at new in jokes.

 

[Mr. Sam]

I am 20 and even less interesting in person. You old bastards.

I'll bring the chloroform, you bring the lube.

 

[Rubbish King]

19, I might come to the meetup. It's during the holidays.

Definitely should.. I don't wanna be the youngest

 

[Bazza]

As long as you have fun who gives a fuck about age.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

I know that feel, bro.

Are you one of those "if there's grass on the field" guys?

 

[Stubo]

What has been going on in here today?! You crazy people.

Musha is most definitely mum though.

23.

I was going to make a Jimmy Savile joke, but I don't want to get banned. D:

 

[phisheep]

What is the secret origin of how you ended up posting here anyway? Don't get me wrong, it's great that you're here and you add much needed diversity and wisdom to the group. Do you still game or is it now a (mostly) lapsed hobby like most of the rest of us?

Oh well, if you want the history then here goes ...

I first came across GAF when I was playing Endless Ocean and hanging out on GameFaqs (and writing one fucking awesome FAQ). And in the middle of all that I came across this thread which of all the ones around struck me as being thoughtful and sensible and appropriately awe-inspired.

Then things went quiet for a bit until Scribblenauts was announced, which sounded so fantastical a concept that I wanted to play, and discuss and so on. Eventually got GAFfed on the same day as Hawkian and dived into this legendary thread (thanks Feep!).

Then for some reason got caught up in all the Wii stuff, like this thread and made some pretty punchy posts for a junior, like this one. Got a few encouraging PMs out of that stuff, which was nice.

And then in this thread about Wii third party games I posted this which got me a PM from Michael Pachter, who nicked my analysis for one of his reports, which made me feel pretty damn good.

And then of course Tim Langdell fell into my lap, so to speak, and made me a reputation. So it all went kind of haywire.

Of course, after such a promising start (and a couple of Six Nations Rugby threads), I'm left hanging around with you guys ...

 

[Bazza]

Only when it comes to inappropriate jokes.

 

[Lirlond]

Im 21 and went to London in september. I think I was the youngest lol.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Yay, I'm not alone, in being 20 or really dull.

Fascinating, thanks for the history! That Tim Langdell thread was incredibly thorough, very impressive work indeed. That is actual games journalism right there, something nobody sees much of online. Nice one.

And I remember the frenzy around that Scribblenauts thread too, that was fun. A good game, but perhaps not the second coming of christ that we anticipated. Except when you actually make Jesus, obvs

 

[Rubbish King]

Successful trip to town, plenty of leads to busy myself with in terms of looking for work.. Also ended up buying a guitar tuner... Ahh well, money just burns a hole in my pocket i guess

How was everyones day?

.

Nice! Interesting tale! Never heard of scribblenauts before! Sounds amazing!

Scribblenauts is the shit if you've never heard of it before. Have you got iOS? There's a decent (and cheap) version on there.

 

[Darren870]

No WAAAAAY. Dude I thought you were older than me. You have gravitas beyond your tender years my man.

Haha, get it all the time. Even at 24 people thought I was in my 30's

 

[Bazza]

Or the new version comes out in Feb on steam, i would imagine it will allow mods so things the devs didn't think of or couldn't add due to copyright issues will be available.

 

[Mikeside]

Exactly the joke I was going to make.

I'm 25, but will be 26 by the time we do the meetup

 

[Musha_Soturi]

I'm 31.

Another reason I am Mum.

 

[SKINNER!]

Racist.

Green scar - thread racist

 

[Musha_Soturi]

ahem. Daughter.

I thought you were the crazy old uncle?

 

[Subliminal]

Fuck, the thread took some really dark racist turns there.. First the gypo hate, now this... Who says the BNP is dead?!

 

[SKINNER!]

Last time I checked that bank is still in business. What you should be asking is "who the fuck is Sh0rt?!"

 

[Chinner]

seeing as your name has an under-scroll in it I took the liberty of making your name a little more 2003.

 

[phisheep]

I thought you were the crazy old uncle?

Dammit. It'll be a Niece or something-or-other then. Completely lost track of who was who.

 

[Suairyu]

I'm okay with Chinner's analysis of me and other people, including Green Scar.

 

[SKINNER!]

lolol damn! I'm not gonna even ask what my one-sentence anaylsis means.

 

[phisheep]

I'm ok with that too, except Chinner has given me a question mark in brackets - which might be some cause for concern.

 

[SteveWD40]

I am fine with it because I am not Gaf famous enough to make the cut.

 

[Rubbish King]

I am so sick of applying to work online..having to sign up to their sites, what is the point in having CV's anymore..It's so time consuming and you gain nothing from it...god forbid I actually get a reply after 30 minutes of filling out bullshit questions that are all answered in my CV, which i have to attach with the fucking thing ANYWAY!!! God damnit it takes me an hour or so just to apply to a few jobs

How was everyones day?

Really good! Today taught people multitrack editing. This teaching lark is weird, but fun. Wasn't my usual class and first time really leading than just assistant but seemed to go well. Plus, finding ways to spend other people's money which is fun.

And in really good news, my tablet is coming back after repair. I am happy.

Awesome! Where do you teach/assist? How old are the students? Using Logic Pro i assume?


Application to a job in Asda through an agency... took me 30 minutes... THE FUCK

 

[JonathanEx]

Pfft. Logic Pro? Naaah.

I've started doing a few hours here and there as a learning advisor (what a term) at uni teaching journalism. So we were using Audition, but it's for short packages and teaching the basics.

Woh woh! whats wrong with logic!

Awesome, I'd love to become a music teacher, a lot of my friends say I'm a bit of a Mr Shneebly

 

[JonathanEx]

Nothing wrong with it, more just over expectations of education and budget
