Hi, I'm the new one, please be nice to me!

[alphagamer]

Hi! I am Marcel from Germany and an avid arcade games fan. I especially like shoot'em'ups, although I get my ass kicked by most. I see it optimistically -> I have lots of potential to improve

Perhaps you know me from another forum (ASSEMbler, ng.com, AO). This seems like a cool place with great people!

[DJ Incompetent]

Welcome!

Hi!

[rancor]

Welcome!

I think you'll find the people here more hospitable than most forums. I know I have.
Even our most infamous troll has toned things down for the last few months.. (got a girlfriend? new meds? adopted a puppy? I dunno.. )

So whats your favorite shooter?

Who're you talking about?

Anyways, go on and have fun. I like this community a bunch, and I'm sure you will too as long at you're not real thin-skinned. Make sure to post your high scores!

And pretty please, post photos in the Picture Week thread. The more the better!

Hi there alphagamer and Kasbe!

At the risk of sounding elitist,m your entry to this forum makes you automatically WINNING by default.

[alphagamer]

Thanks all!

So whats your favorite shooter?

Good question, I think as of now Shikigami No Shiro II.

I like this community a bunch, and I'm sure you will too as long at you're not real thin-skinned. Make sure to post your high scores!

I survived ng.com, so I guess this will be no problem.
Regarding high scores, I am happy when I can get an extra extend on Battle Garegga, I am nowhere near ready to compete with you guys.

And pretty please, post photos in the Picture Week thread. The more the better!

Done!

Welcome to the forums!

What are your goals? Are you interested in getting serious about your playing, or just someone that enjoys playing/learning about/collecting stuff?

Goals, hm, I don't have any clearly formulated goals. I am not dead serious about gaming, but I constantly work on getting better. Even if I suck at a game I can still enjoy it, games should be a source of entertainment and not a source of frustration. I also like learning about all this stuff, what I don't like is when people are condescending towards noobs, as if they were born omniscient.

Collecting just for the sake of it? No thanks, my stuff gets played.

Say what?

They're probably enjoying it for pretty superfluous reasons, or just because its a shooter and they wouldn't care if you replaced it with any other game for them to credit feed through.

So I get this as a rebuttal.

So I can safely assume that: the topic title is useless; everything in your post is useless, which I've read, and it's basically the topic title repeated and ever so slightly elaborated on about ten times; and somehow you've managed to display that you've read all the posts in this thread, yet haven't read any of them, at the same time.

You know why I'm so "argumentative"? It's because shit like this calls for it, every single day. No matter how much I try, I can't reply to anyone here because it seems that they never have their head on straight, and think it's a great idea to blame me for that.

Thanks ********, maybe this forum can get an ignore feature so nobody bothers you with "useless" topics.

Well you obviously don't love it enough because if you really did LOVE it you'd be playing it all the time and it wouldn't take too long to reach 13 mil providing you're not completely incompetent.

I mean, if you're trying your damn hardest and not making progress, you have to sell the game...

[Deca]

Well I didn't mean collecting and never playing, but some people are more focused on expanding their collection than focusing on single games for long periods of time.

Start learning Garegga or Batrider and be a rival for me :p Someone close to my skill level pushing me would be nice haha

Welcome to the forum. The forum does have its crazy moments but as rancor points out things have become more chilled out as of late.

Its certanly a much better place than the Escapist forum, which recently ive been two timing with this forum. Which are 50% PC elitist threads and no discussion just all one sided comments

[drauch]

Welcome to the best forum on earth. Seriously.

[Specineff]

Ahoy, matey! Arr!
