Long-winded intro, woo!


MrAnthology

Recommended Posts

Let's see, let's see... Gah, Im never good at introducing myself on forums...

Anyway; here I am, MrAnthology. I got into the Friendship is Magic fandom in February-ish, maybe early March, and it now makes up the bulk of my daily internet-surfing, which is pretty much the only thing I do in my free time. You could even go as far as calling me a basement dweller if you wanted, haha. The reason I find FiM so appealing is probably the cuteness-factor: I have yet to watch an episode where I didn't "d'awww". That, and it's just so colourful and happy. If I'm angry or down, I just watch an episode of FiM and I'm happy the rest of the day. Oh, and my favourite episode would have to be Sonic Rainboom, because Rainbow Dash is just that awesome. I totally just injected that sentence to end the paragraph a little less abruptly...

I am a 16 year old male high school student from New Brunswick, Canada. I love listening to music, and I love playing it. There's a lot on genres I like, but I tend to listen mostly to classic rock, metal (NORMAL metal...), and dubstep. That said, I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to music and I will try any genre at least once. I do play guitar, I've been playing for about 3 years now. I am aspiring to become a video game programmer, and have already established a "company", so to speak, with a few friends who I will be going to college with in the next 2-3 years' time.. I know it seems a little outlandish, but I am serious about going further with that goal (in other words, I'm not like some people who are like "I wana be a game maker lolz"). I'm decently proficient in Java and Visual Basic, though I am aware I have a lot to learn in the world of game development, by no means do I call myself "skilled". I do basic html/css website coding as well, but I suck at it.

I also play video games pretty often, mostly on my PS3. My PSN is MrAnthology, like my username, if anypony feels like adding me. I have a few online games like GT5, Black Ops, LittleBigPlanet, Red Dead Redemption, NHL11, GTA4, and MGS4. I have my Wii for online play as well, but I haven't touched it in months. I only have 4 games anyway, so no big deal.

As for this forum, I'm much more interested in the community rather than the RPing. Reason being, I'm just not big into roleplaying. I've done it before and while it was fun, it just wan't my favourite thing to do. I don't know, it made me feel like I was doing something I should be, and I don't know where that feeling came from. I may try it out again, though. Maybe my views on RPing will change if I try in a brand new setting/fandom.

And now I think is a good time to end my introduction, I'm getting too long-winded. Sorry about that! If you didn't read it all, that's fine haha.

tl;dr: Hello, fellow bronies!

Hi there!

If you haven't already, a good place to start is the rules section.

You'll also need to post 5 times anywhere in the Introductions thread before you can post on the rest of the board.

Rainbow Dash is totally awesome.

I play my share of video games, nothing online though. That's cool that you know what you want to do, AND you have a plan on how to go about it.

Have you played any pony music on your guitar?

Welcome to the Equestria Forums!

I already read the rules section, but thanks for directing me anyway. As for pony music on my guitar, I have tried. See, I can't learn by ear very well, and there are very few tabs that I have seen floating around. If you know of any places or have any tabs for Art of the Dress, I'd be a very happy pony. ;)

Yeah, well, "rock" nowadays is going downhill fast. The only band that I can think of off the top of my head that isn't giving into the mainstream music scene is Rush.

That's only because they already went through their Dork Age. -_- Dear God mid-80's Rush *shudder*.

I mean, look at Geddy's blazer! Too much Miami VIce for him!

Here's some very early seeds of metal for you:

Anyway, I digress. Welcome!
