Nice to meet you and welcome

In the Spam section (Kawaii Neko hearts etc. etc.), there's an introduction thread for all of the newcomers to get to know a little bit about everyone ^^
It's a sticky, so it's near the top. That's probably the best place to start on here~*

nikkiolie · « **Reply #103 on:** February 25, 2009, 08:34:31 am »

If you are trying to make friends I would say you are doing everything right. You are posting in a wide range of topics, going to meet-ups and getting your name out there. I hope to see you at a few meet-ups ^_^

NightLotus · « **Reply #104 on:** February 25, 2009, 09:56:19 am »

I love new people who go to meetups and stuff! i was one of them after all! just 8-ish months ago! ^^

Welcome to the forums! The crazy world of off-season Kumoricon!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #106 on:** February 25, 2009, 10:52:40 am »

I think that off season Kumoricon could be better than Kumoricon >_>

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #107 on:** February 25, 2009, 10:56:47 am »

Well, you guys pretty much never rest when it comes to cosplay and events, heh.

No we really don't. I enjoy it too much to only be able to do it twice a year x.x

Good Grief! And others thought they were clueless about this particular thread.

My name's Jay, 45 years old. Got into anime as something to watch besides regular TV. I worked nights, and I joined Netflix, and had been seeing some episodes of Dragonball Z on TV, but I had to miss too many, so I looked to see if Netflix had any episodes, sure enough! My ex-wife hated it though. I guess I had to otaku myself about it, and started surfing the web to find more about anime. Which lead to here.

I missed the first K-con in Springfield, because I slept in. I was still working graveyard back then.

My name is Megean. I'm 27, happily married with no children, 5 cats, 2 dogs, a fish tank. Most people call me Meg or Hawkeye (those involved with the con). I am addicted to video games, anime, TV, and videos.

DancingTofu · « **Reply #115 on:** February 28, 2009, 08:30:45 pm »

My name's still Tofu, my profile says I'm 18, and I advise you to beware of falling cars.

In the future, if you want to respond to (and quote) a bunch of posts, use the "Insert Quote" button on the right end of each post (in the Reply page) rather than posting a bunch of time consecutively. If you're using quick reply, just hit Preview.

playdohkid · « **Reply #127 on:** March 02, 2009, 12:35:53 am »

Oh sorry.

Yokurama · « **Reply #128 on:** March 13, 2009, 07:47:24 pm »

well i dont know where to post this at so ill just post it hear.

well ive never been to an anime convention and i dont have any friends that are into anime so thats why i decided that i wanna go to the anime convention this year and maybe make some anime fan friends.

i also dont wanna go to the convention as a loner so im wondering if i could go with anyone.
im 17 and my name is Moses.
im a pretty plain dude but i always joke around so i heard that im funny lol

well nice to be here and i hope that i would meet some of you soon.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #129 on:** March 13, 2009, 07:51:42 pm »

Yokurama · « **Reply #130 on:** March 13, 2009, 07:56:19 pm »

thanks

i think i will

nikkiolie · « **Reply #131 on:** March 13, 2009, 07:57:37 pm »

I would say the best bet to make friends is to go over to the plan your own adventure section and try to go to as many events as you can to meet new friends

Yokurama · « **Reply #132 on:** March 13, 2009, 08:00:03 pm »

oh, thanks for the tip

thats exactly what ill do.

Stay active and you'll meet some fun, if nutty, people here.

KogaRyu · « **Reply #134 on:** March 13, 2009, 08:56:52 pm »

What is this "Conversion" you speak of.

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #135 on:** March 13, 2009, 09:01:17 pm »

I've already been converted to anime fandom, so you won't be seeing me there.
If you bring your friends, does that make them converted? Maybe you should do that?

Anyway~ Welcome to the forums

Yokurama · « **Reply #136 on:** March 13, 2009, 09:42:21 pm »

sorry guys i didnt mean to spell "Conversion" i meant to spell "Convention" but my spell check changed the word xD

another good way is to find people who live around you
or just ask if they have a facebook, myspace, or even a gaiaonline

Yokurama · « **Reply #140 on:** March 14, 2009, 12:18:03 am »

DancingTofu · « **Reply #141 on:** March 14, 2009, 12:21:39 am »

East, I presume? That's pretty far out.

I live in Milwaukie, which is near Sellwood.

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #142 on:** March 14, 2009, 08:23:55 am »

I live in Milwaukie too.

Man of the Public · « **Reply #143 on:** March 14, 2009, 08:37:15 am »

I think I'll make a new thread for all the where you live stuff.

Charlatan · « **Reply #144 on:** April 08, 2009, 06:38:09 pm »

Hiii!

I'm Charles! I got into anime/manga through some of my middle school friends back in the ancient days and Toonami.

This will mark my second year at K-con. Last year was my first ever sci-fi/anime convention! I felt like I a prodigal son coming home to a family he had never had before.

I like anime/manga, video games, violin, electric guitar, judo, entomology, geology, science fiction in general, beach shorelines,

I live near PSU, though I'm not taking classes at the moment---haven't decided on a major, bad economy makes applying out-of-pocket difficult, and I can only get financial aid if I apply for full-time enrollment. And with all of the above in effect plus the difficulty of getting a job if I quit my new one, I think I gotta sit and think for now...

Now then. Favorite anime!:

-Nanoha season 2 (First one wasn't too hot until the last 5 episodes or so not to mentioned nearly fatally bogged with things that make you worry about the studio's sexual preferences, third one may or may not be too militaresque for my tastes.)
-Full Metal Panic! (Mixed feelings, though, for multiple reasons.)
-Cowboy Bebop (Alllways a classic!)

Manga!:
-Genshiken (It makes me cry and laugh at the same time. Laugh for obvious reasons, cry because it's so accurate...)
-Planetes
-Vinland Saga (It's a MANGA ABOUT VIKINGS. BY THE GUY WHO MADE PLANETES.

And it's even HISTORICALLY ACCURATE. How can this NOT be awesome?)

Favorite video games:
-Cave Story (Best freeware game ever! I might dress up as Quote this year!)
-Iji (Another freeware game and a close contender for the title of best freeware game)
-Bungie's Marathon Trilogy (Intense, confusing, often trippy, and now totally free to download!)
-Resident Evil RE-Make, Resident Evil 3
-Tales of Symphonia (The sequel just looks...Borderline painful, though.)
-Timesplitters 2 and 3
-Painkiller
-Serious Sam

There's probably others, but those are most on my mind at the moment.

Not quite as enthused by anime geekdom as I used to (Can I live without constant shitstorms about Lucky Star and/or Haruhi and/or whatever? Yes I can!), but after attending my first K-con last year my geek blood feels alive again. Maybe I should just pay less attention to the internet.

Pleased to meetcha!

~Charles

Cassiopeia · « **Reply #145 on:** April 09, 2009, 12:42:02 am »

DancingTofu · « **Reply #146 on:** April 09, 2009, 02:46:20 am »

The dawn of the coming of the Charls (that's a pluralization, not a misspelling, just F Everyone's I)!

Props for listing Cave Story first. One of the best homebrews ever made.

Czarcasm · « **Reply #148 on:** April 13, 2009, 10:31:41 pm »

My name is Czarcasm(real name Michael). I have been a fan of anime since the early 60's, but have yet to go to an anime convention. I have gone to many science fiction and gaming conventions, though. What I usually do is run Hospitality suites(including at the most recent GameStorm), and have co-chaired Orycon.

DancingTofu · « **Reply #149 on:** April 13, 2009, 11:31:26 pm »

Hey! I remember you from GameStorm! Can't remember your face--just that you had that name on your badge and I liked it. Welcome!
