Hi Everybody
« on: May 18, 2012, 06:27 AM »
Well, I've just relised that I've been a member of this forum for about a month now, and I haven't even bothered to introduce myself.  I know, I know how rude of me?

Well, better late than never!

Hi, I'm DarkGuyver and I'm an alcoholic.... HAHAHA just kidding.  I thought I would add a little humour to my introduction.

DarkGuyver, as some of you will probably relise from my screen name, I am a fan of the Guyver anime/manga francise. 

I found this forum, while searching for more Tess Gerritsen (yes, I watch Rizzoli & Isles) eBooks for my Sony PRS-350 eReader, which I got a couple of months ago.  But found a surprisingly large amount of books for my eReader, which I am honestly thankfull for.

Besides reading, I like watchin action, sci-fi, thriller movies and TV shows.  I'm a martial artist, I'm a 3rd degree black belt in Shotokan Karate, and I currently study Lin Kuei martial arts (a Chinese martial art, which is the ancester of Japanese Ninjitsu).  I'm a videogamer, I'm a fan of Street Fighter, Bayonetta, God Of War, Soul Calibur, House Of The Dead, and the Need For Speed games (in particular the Underground series, and Most Wanted).

I'm very knowledgable about computers so if you have any questions about computers or computer related problems post a topic and I will see what I can do for ya.  I'm also a technology nut, so any related technology discuss are game.

I hope to meet some new friends here and share some of my collection of eBooks which may be of interest to others.

try it! Kuroshitsuji is about an akuma or demon that serves as a Butler to a young Earl in England. It's cool. Definitely a must read. :) Dengeki Daisy would make you laugh. But in the middle part of that manga, I don't know. I kind of lost in the explanation of what happened to some bits. Hahaha. But I guess, I'm just slow in comprehending it. :)

Oh man! lexie is right about that manga and you should definitely watch the anime too. I got into Kuroshitsuji because of Reborn... because of Mukuro Rokudo... (just see the resemblance there)

mmmm.... dengeki daisy... there just so few shoujo that i really like but i want to try skip beat... havent got the time to browse yet... i want to download the manga but i need a new external HDD, my brother doesn't want too much "girl file" in the family laptop  :laugh: [that's why my yaoi collection doesn't exist anymore] [goodbye to my fantasy  :-\ ]

Sabi sayo eh! Oops! I mean, told you so! :D Yeah! I do see the resemblance of Mokuro Rokudo and Sebastian, but, I love Sebby more~  :heart:  I've also watched the anime, some parts are not the same with manga. :D For example, they met a new akuma-cum-butler in anime, but in manga, they didn't meet those guys. :3 Haven't finished the anime yet, but updated with the manga. :)

Hello DarkGuyver,

I'm surprised our other lovely mod's (jessadia, Buttercup, and Filouke) haven't swarmed to you yet.  I'm not sure if you've noticed, but males are a rare species around here! 
Since I noticed your thread was getting a lot of attention, I just wanted to pop in and say "hi" before the other girls flocked over here.  :) (1st come, 1st serve and all that)

If you ever need any help, please don't hesitate to ask.  We're a friendly and chatty commuinty and always enjoy hearing from new people.

Have a great day!

Nikki

I've actually been having a private discussion with Filouke, which has been going really well.  And I must say I really enjoy the friendly atmosphere around here.  It's a little different from some of the other topic based/fan forums, which I am a member of.

Filou is very nice and knowledgeable.  :)
This is the only forum that I've belonged to and actually contributed to, but I really enjoy it here.  I've learned about new authors and a bunch of other stuff too.
We're all really chatty, so don't hesitate to start a conversation, or a new thread asking for reviews or recommendations or anything like that.

btw... sorry in advance if all the ladies start swarming you!

Personally, I'm not much of a programmer.  But I have done a little lite programing courses during my high school, college and university education.  I really want to learn to program videogames, and I've been reading whatever videogame development books, that I can find.

I'm sure there's a few techies around here.  If you need advice, I think Greyfox would be a good guy to ask some questions.


As long as you can joke about anything and take a joke, you should fit right in here! 
Us females can be a bit overwhelming at first, but once you get chatting with us, I'm sure you'll have fun.

Hi DarkGuyver,
Welcome to STP, you're gonna love it here.
Guys are so loved by the STPers, we have so few of them (coz Jess ran them away or had them into hiding)! :D
Oh and be careful of Nikki, she's an :angel: with invisible horns and tails (totally devious)!

Video game, interesting...I'm developing a game application for my Dissertation.
It's quite bulky, every lil' details must be addressed.
Tallia, in a few days I'm presenting my software to the examiner and the companies attending, wish me luck!

Since we are all Aces with Java, we've done on java, though I would have preferred C++.
It's a distributed and multiplayer game.
