Actually I'm here for the forums more than the strip. A friend made a comment that these were well moderated forums. Seems like a good enviornment for serious discussion, so I'll take a look around and see if I like the place.

And, yes, I did read the rules before registering. Seems pretty comprehensive, I like how all new members are required to read them.

[El Mariachi]

Hi there, I'm El Mariachi. You might remember me for such movies has, ''Desperado'' and ''Charlie, the talking dog''!

What's brings me here today I something much more important. Its about myself and my presence in this precise moment. I'm a 17 years old smacktard, who mostly wastes time in forums like these instead of getting a life and a girl. As hobbies I like to blink my eyes and to pick my nose when no one's watching. I've been around nuklearpower.com for 2 years, but only now I overcame the lazyness of registering myself here.


That's it boys and girls, and remember:

Loner-type guy who aspires to be a game designer/programmer. Procrastination and lack of $$$ have cursed me continuously however.

Lol, I just made a thread saying hello somewhere in another channel. It's because I come from a very active forum called Flashplayer. We're having a summer spam attack from some idiots of a forum called Xgen studios. Is there an Ad thread to advertise the site?

[Silly Kitty]

We do not have an Ad thread, but you can put it in the 8-bit blog thread.

[Vernon Flyer]

Hi forumers, I'm Vernon Flyer, and I come from the happy lands of Xgen studios. This is Xgen. Enjoy spammer land, the best place in the world where you can spam all the time you want!

[Elbodo]

Real Name: Kevin Vornheder

Nicknames?: Tiny, Bodo, Quarter-Ton of Fun

Age: 24

Height: 6'1"

Weight: You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Gender: Just a dude

Favorite Games: For table top RPs I like Green Ronin's Mutants and Masterminds, but mostly I like regular 3rd Ed D&D (it's where I cut my teeth and its good for what ails me). In video games I'm a big fan of the Final Fantasy and Hitman series'. I also get a kick out of just about every Star Wars titles ever released (and at this point I'm listening to myself and thinking "Good Lord! I had no idea I was so cliche!")

Favorite 8-Bit Theatre char: Black Mage. Don't we all know someone who deserves stabitty death?

Sport(s)?: Golf, swimming (I live near two lakes, five rivers and countless other unnamed watering holes), fishing (same reason), pool, and bowling.

Movie(s)?: I like most of 'em. The only movie I can think of off the top of my head that I ever really didn't like was About Schmidt. That was the gawdawfulest flick I ever saw in my life. No empathy at all.

Book(s)?: Depends on my mood. When I want something with a deep philosophical point I like Ayn Rand. When I want something that is purely a good read (brain candy) I like Stephen King. When I want something kinda in between I like Robert Heinlein.

And last but not least, tell us about yourselves so we dont have to look in your bio to find out! :P :

Gee, I dunno. I'm just a hoopty frood who hasn't been into a single chatroom of forum anywhere in years. I graduated college two years ago and have been broke and without home internet service until a few months ago. Having said that, I hope y'all will bear with me if I sound like a complete moron from time to time. I feel like I'm re-learning how to walk. All the same, this seemed like a nice friendly place to dip my toes back into the water.

[The_Blue_Bomber]

Real Name: Michael

Nicknames?: Mike

Age: 15

Height: About 6 ft.

Weight: About 150 lbs.

Gender: Male

Favorite Games: Final Fantasy series (enough said), Zelda series, Megaman series, Halo series... basically every First-person shooter, adventure, and/or RPG series that I've played. XD

Favorite 8-Bit Theatre char: Black Mage

Sport(s)?: I'm not really "into" sports, but I'm decent at a few, football and basketball, and I'll play my hardest if someone would like another player or I'm bored with what I was currently doing.

Movie(s)?: I love most action, sci-fi, and horror movies.

Book(s)?: I mostly read mangas (Japanese comic books for those who didn't know), but I always enjoy a good novel.

I have been a fan of 8-Bit Theater since my friend showed me to the site. I'm mostly a gamer, but I do enjoy to play some sports and do other things instead of video games. I really enjoy going to forums, and I'm currently a part of three, including this one. Other things that I enjoy doing other than playing video games is hanging out with friends, having intelligent discussions on specific topics, and I'm currently working on trying to write a few novels of my own. Three are all original stories, but I have writer's block on all of them at this moment, and the fourth is mostly like a Fanfic for the Halo series.

[Gwalchavad]

Yo, longtime reader, first time poster... I'll probably be very erratic as to where/when/how often I post...


Real Name:Mike

Nicknames:Many and diverse, most having to do with youthful experimentation with hip-hop

Age: 26

Height:6'

Weight: 130 ish

Gender: male, last time I checked... yeah, still there

Favorite Games: Pretty much any RPG with a decent story line, although I did enjoy Lord of the Rings the Third Age for the fact that it was turn based AND co-op despite it's suck ass storyline... Also known to t-t and chat RPG, FPSs but I get my ass kicked in any deathmatch other than the original Doom games where I am still the undefeated king... wow does that date me? And of course old school console games... I am also very much in love with my Sony PSP, not only for it's stylish gaming but also for the fact that it gets me out of having to buy an Apple product to make my vast mp3 library portable

Favorite 8-Bit Theatre charepends on my mood, most often Black Mage

Sport(s)?:Mutations? j/k I have enjoyed playing pretty much every sport, but I get bored as hell watching them, unless I happen to be a> able to catch the Dolphins play or b> living in Chicago when the Cubs are facing off against the Marlins in the last round of playoffs before the World Series (2003 was a good year for me )

Movies:Everything Kevin Smith has done excepting Jersey Girl, X-Men 1 & 2 (still haven't seen 3), Batman: The Movie (1966), Batman (1989) and Returns and Begins, Superman 1 2 and 3 (yes it was crap, but c'mon Anette O'Toole playing Lana Lang makes it worth it for the Oedipal jokes alone), Bogie flicks, stoner flicks, Rock and Roll High School, Monty Python, Gilliam flicks, film noir, kung fu and samurai, and that's all I feel like listing right now

Books: Sci-fi and Fantasy, Heroic Epic (ie the Iliad and Oddessy), poetry from the Classical period up til early 20th century, philosophy, theology, comparative religion, Romantic litereature (as in knights in shining armor, Orlando Furioso, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Le Morte De Arthur, not Harlequin Romance!), horror, pulp, and with all these influences how could I not enjoy comic books and manga?

Anything else? Aspiring writer and musician, with some minor talent in drawing. And that's all you're getting outta me!
