Shinmera wrote:So.. yeah, finally got around to make an account on the fora here.
Anyway, things I can say about myself:
-I'm a high school student in Switzerland. I'm two years away from university... or whatever I'll do I have yet to decide.
-I'm 16 years old, will be 17 in November.
-I do draw some stuff, even though I don't approve of it. If yer interested still: http://shinmera.deviantart.com I should do some HP fan art sometime...
-I have my own humble webcomic running and even though it's (insert pessimism here) , I still try to keep it up. It's here -> http://tymoon.eu
-Besides drawing stuff, I also do a lot of programming, the main project right now being the second version of the comic homepage mentioned above. (This means: Yes, I programmed the website from scratch, on my own, including the forum, pm system and whole cms and comments and all other stuff). The beta version of #2 can be seen here: http://tymoon.eu/beta/Comic01/0 mainly dummy content up there though so nothing special to see. The languages I'm familiar with are: C++, Java, PHP, JavaScript, (XHTML), Python, VisualBasic. My favs being Java and PHP.
-I don't watch TV and I play videogames very very rarely. I rather spend my time on the net or with "working" on my projects.
-I really appreciate critique on any of my works, no matter how offensive or stupid the critique may be.

Sooo yeah. That's about it. If ye want to know anything else (which I doubt though), don't be afraid to ask me

Yes, another webcomic for the "OUR Comics!" thread!

I'm Brawler. Welcome to the forums.

Thanks for the watch. I like your stuff too </watchback>

Yeah, I got some influence from HP to my style.

I try to follow the general drawing rules though...
(for those who don't know the rules: #1: Take from everyone #2: follow no one #3: practice)

Sup Shin, your name reminds me of an age old game with a name longer than the California governor's last name. I believe it was called:
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon

Forgot to add to this.

My name is Pat. I am in no way a furry, I just like the comic (I also loved Calvin and Hobbes). I work as a professional yoyo player (yoyoer, yoyoist, what have you) for a yoyo string company called AirGlow. My job is to travel around New England with the rest of the team winning contests and representing our product. I recently won 2nd at North East Regionals, which got me enoggh to buy a new yoyo ($140 for a yoyo 0_o). I hope to go to Nationals next year.

More towards the "normal" end of the spectrum I skate and snowboard almost religiously. It is to the point where I travel across the country to get snow.

So there, now you know a little about me!

It's nice to meet you YoYoDude! By the way, I bought a yo-yo for £1 once...it works! I take it yours works to perfection or something? It has minimum air residence, is the perfect weight etc?

While you're at it... Does it shoot lasers? Play MP3s? Act as a flotation device? Allow you to travel through time?

...

What? I expect a lot from my $140 yoyo's. Also, hello, formally. xD

This is one of the many yoyos I have, it's called the yoyofactory 888 and is the purple one! In the beginning of the video you see him using the "hubstack" technology, which lets you hold the yoyo while it's spinning. Also, every time you see it resting on their hands, thats called a grind, and yes it is spinning (thats just how smooth the finish is!). I could talk about this forever if you want me to XD

44R0NM10 · Post by **44R0NM10** » Thu Jun 24, 2010 6:49 pm

That is really cool! Kind've reminded me of a Diablo to be honest, but diablo's and yoyos were practically built to come togeather looking at that! If you can do anything like that, I'm really impressed! The way you talk about it (and it seems to be your occupation) makes you seem to be a real pro! Good job!

Yup it's pretty much my job. Theres no paycheck though, just free string and money if I place at a competition.

I have a friend that diabolos and he is wicked good. The closest I can come to diaboloing is off-string yoyoing... thats right.

Dusty · Post by **Dusty** » Thu Jun 24, 2010 7:31 pm

Hello everybody! My name's Dustin. I actually go introduced to the comic the other day by a friend, and then proceeded to read ALL of it xD And now I'm at the sad point where I'm stuck waiting to see what mystical insights the next strip brings.... But anyway I thought I'd go ahead and make an account on the forums, so heres the fast facts.

1.I'm 17, starting August I'll be a Senior in Highschool.
2.I live in the USA, specifically Kentucky.
3.I enjoy writing and role-playing, but I suck at drawing.
4.I play the steel drums, still saving up to buy my own since they're very expensive to buy and tune.
5.I'm on my schools drumline, going to be Bass section leader once band camp starts.
6.I dislike long walks on the beach.
7.Team Fortress 2 is currently my favorite game and has been since release!

So.... Thanks in advance for all the welcomes!

Just looked it up. It's Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps.

Dusty · Post by **Dusty** » Fri Jun 25, 2010 2:22 pm

Are they really that rare? O_O Its basically a military class for highschool. If you join the military right after highschool you start as a Private First Class instead of a Private, or I can go on to college for regular ROTC and join as officer. Or I can just not join, but still keep all the T-shirts I've gotten

Also the spiffy color guard pictures
