BaconofChaos Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I finally did it. I registered. I saw this forum back when it was first announced on ED and thought "I should join and get to know my fellow bronies". But, well, a combination of busyness, shyness and catastrophic computer failure got in my way. Okay, so, where to start? I'm a 25 year old guy, living in south east England, who loves cartoons, games, books and other such geeky stuff. I like cool things and also cute things. MLP was inevitable.How did I find MLP? I think my first encounter was with some random fanart. I noticed it was MLP, but I figured the new style was the artist's, so I just kinda shrugged and then moved on. Next came CR! on tgwtg.com and his brief Pinkie Pie video (I won't link it, I'm sure someone has already done so). Suddenly: Intrigued. A PMV (trouble is a friend) and the first two episodes later and BAM! Instant brony. Well, not instant, obviously it took some time, but you get the idea. Thus far I have only told one friend about my new obsession, and only because she was online so I couldn't see her expression. No one else must know o_oAh, what else? I'm kinda fickle, so favourite character/episode etc. changes frequently. I've thought about roleplay and I have a few ideas for OCs and scenarios but I prefer the tabletop type roleplay, i.e. games run by a game master, to forum roleplay. So who knows? Likewise I may or may not get around to writing fanfic and/or learning to draw ponies. However I was inspired by a lot of the MLP games I saw coming out and have decided to try my hand at one, being an ex-game programmer myself. I can't sprite very well though, so the graphics may have to be ripped from the show itself XP But yeah, hopefully I'll actually manage to complete that sometime.Okay I think I'm done here. So yeah- Hi everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconofChaos Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Many thanks to you all! It's always good to have such a warm welcome.Thanks for link to the vid MyLittlePonyTales, but I don't know Flash so I wouldn't be much use to them I'm afraid. I've downloaded Game Maker 8 and I am learning that as I go. It's so good to not have to worry about coding a graphics engine first, I can just get straight into the gameplay. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
