It was a long time ago though; I like to think we are much more gentle on newcomers now. Not that we were ever cruel, just lots of strong personalities with strong opinions and strong intellects that would often clash in, er, creative ways..

Yeah, things have definitely changed since that guide was written... I guess we're all a bit "maturer" now... or something? Still, it's good to keep the guide handy, to scare the newbs.

DanJW Posted January 7, 2010 Nooooo! There was some good stuff too. Like Yufster's welcome post. Except she deleted that after becoming a mod Besides it's all in the archives which no-one looks at much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi, my name is Kingz and I used to be (am?) an obnoxious dick. Some of it is completely timeless though. I mean, this: Quote 1- Pick a discreet name , something that will become important later on but can easily be missed in your first week or two. Something like : Hambob. That is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Live and Steam all seem to attract some real dicks, so it'll be nice to play with 'normal' people, I guess having some recourse in a forum helps with that.

That, and quite a few of us had been talking on the Thumb for years before deciding to set up any kind of games. It helps to have a grip on someone's (internet) personality before jumping in.

monkeyarmada Posted January 13, 2010 I'll do my best to not be a dick then. I can't rule out any first corner carnage on Forza or some fruity language. But I will apologise for the bad driving... S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted January 13, 2010 Oh being a dick is almost a requirement. The idea is that we've been talking long enough to know that it's all in good fun. No one will resent you for joining in at this point though, as long as you don't sound serious about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corduroy Cape Posted February 1, 2010 Just thought I'd drop in and say hi. Right now I'm stuck in a weird state where I keep playing through almost of all of Demon's Souls up to the last boss and then start over with an identical character... It's really weird because that's the only think I've been playing for the last month or so. Apart from that I'm currently interested in poetry, classic British literature and cinema.
