Real Name: Alan. The last name's not spelled phonetically, and you don't really care, so I won't bother. :p

Nicknames?: Hah. No.

Age: 22, but I feel like I'm 30. (Which I suppose isn't all that bad when you think about it.)

Height: 5'10"

Weight: 170 last I knew. That was like a year ago, though.

Gender: Male? Something like that.

Favorite Games: currently obsessed with City of Heroes, and I think I wrote a check for my soul to Smash Bros. a few years ago. And Rook never gets old. And chess. And Munchkin. And all manner of other geeky things.

Favorite 8-Bit Theatre char: I quote Red Mage on a daily basis. (No, I'm not exaggerating.)

Sport(s)?: I follow Soccer, I play Raquetball, and living in the South I am legally obligated to say that I eat, drink, and breathe College Football.

Movie(s)?: Empire Records, The Big Lebowski, Pulp Fiction, Little Miss Sunshine, and a slew of others.

Book(s)?: If it's not Bill Watterson or Terry Pratchett, I almost want to say it's not worth my time. I'd be lying, of course, but I'd be tempted to say it anyway.

Other fun facts: I am an incredibly shy, socially awkward person. Yay me!

Great Cartoonist · 10-10-2007, 11:28 AM

Dang, it's only now that I finally post in this thread after being on the forums for a good 2 years.

ANYWAY, in case you ever wanted to juice the info out of me:

Birthday: Today. NO I DO NOT LIKE MY BIRTHDAYS.

Gender: Male.

Favorite Games: RaiRO. And everything else I have on my GBA SP.

Favorite 8-Bit Theatre char: They're all favorites.

Sport(s)?: I used to play badminton.

Movie(s)?: I used to rent Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Book(s)?: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by the late Douglas Noel Adams.

About me: Single, planning for bachelorhood, unless someone convinces me otherwise. Video gamerholic, aspiring to become a video game programmer and graphic novel author.

Oh, and delusional_chik, if you like RPG games than you should join the RaiRO community and post in the RaiRO forum at the bottom of the forum index.

[EDIT] Oh wait, you did. Heyo. Maybe we'll meet on the server of insanity sometime in the future.

Thadius · 10-24-2007, 03:28 PM

I return from my journey into the real world.

And dang, it has been FAR too long.

Though it has given me time to sit and think about what my priorities need to be. #1) My girlfriend. #2) My job. #3) College. #4) Everything I forgot.

I realized it had been too long when LOYAL came and gave me a wake-up call on RS. I had even forgotten his RS NAME.

However, as you can see above, I have lots of things that have to come first. So as of now, I'm calling an end to all my other series. And I'll do a few comics here and there, no more series. I'm already writing two stories and doing a comic series elsewhere. So whatever ones I do, they'll be one-shot things. As they SHOULD have been.

However, this does NOT mean that I am resigning my titles of Lord of Assassin or King of Pain(t). In fact, far from it; I have a new weapon to be used on the forums. Anyone that can come up with a sprite for a small, fluffly animal, in both red and white colors, will not be blown up by me. Preferably while said animal is being thrown.

It may be a while before I get any new comics out, though. I got a new computer and suffered a lightning strike before I got everything off the old one. So I lost, oh, half of everything. Expect to see me by the sprite sheet thread for a little while.

So. In conclusion...

I'M BACK!

Brisbane · 11-03-2007, 12:41 PM

Real Name: Jason

Nicknames?: Rakin, Brisbane (Only because of handles on forums though)

Age: 26

Height: 6 foot

Weight: 180 or so

Gender: Male

Favorite Games: Favorite games? What a tough one. Ok first I just quit World of Warcraft. I had a great guild in there, but in the end the game just became stale. Right now I'm enjoying Lejendary Adventure quite a bit. It's a table-top RPG game written by Gary Gygax (very good game!). I'm also dabbling in Heroclix at the moment. I'm not a Clix supreme master, but I find it fun to catch a few games now and again. I also have a Wii and really only play Guitar Hero 3 atm, which I also enjoy quite a bit.

Favorite 8-Bit Theatre char: Sharda

Sport(s)?: Nope

Movie(s)?: LOTR is a favorite, as well as Shaun of the Dead and of course Hot Fuzz. I'm also a huge fan of the Simpsons and Futurama, although those only semi count as movies. Oops, almost forgot Life Aquatic.

Book(s)?: I like fantasy books, I have fallen in love with David Gemmell recently. I'm also readying through The Alphabet of Manliness by Maddox, funny stuff.

And last but not least, tell us about yourselves so we dont have to look in your bio to find out! :P : Gamer nerd. Father. And love a good time. If I was a simpson character I would be a skinny version of the Comic book guy mixed with Homer, I think.

Herr Doktor · 11-16-2007, 08:06 AM

Gender: Male

Favorite Games: Team fortress 2

Favorite 8-Bit Theatre char: Black mage, obv

Sport(s)?: lul wut?

Movie(s)?: erm. Yeah.

Book(s)?: Yes.

Sadly, i'm not actually a Doktor, but as long as i don't try to treat someone, i reckon it's fine.

Xonix · 11-27-2007, 06:22 AM
