The Official Introduction Thread

[Ku]

Ok folks, now that we have a fresh start I thought we needed this thread again. Seeing as how many people participated in it last time.
Now for common courtesy this time I will introduce myself:
I am Kunal but I am more known as the nickname Ku which was given to me in high school. I am currently 19 years old and will be 20 in June. I am studying for a major in Business Management. I live in North Carolina and work for a company called AXA Advisors or its also called AXA Equitable. I drive a very sleek and sexy hot red 2004 Toyota Solara which I prize dearly.. I love Nintendo although I wasn't originally a Nintendo fan.. I used to be a sony fan also. I hated M$ but now I dont hate them so much after getting a 360 for myself and seeing how amazing of a console it can be. I do own a Wii, I reserved it and got it in a midnight launch. Okay, I think thats all I am gonna say for now.
On behalf of GoNintendo I welcome all the new members and returning members to our community. We hope you will enjoy your stay here.

[Skooter]

Well, I'll do this again too ^_^.

I'm Skooter, 18 years old, from Belgium. I started gaming around the N64 period. I'm a huge RPG addict, which is why my main console used to be the PS (even though I always liked Nintendo better). But with all the FF re-releases and other RPGs being released for Nintendo, I'm a really happy fangirl XD.
I also really love reading, am a filmfreak and like going to concerts. My dream man is Bernard Black/Dylan Moran.

Nice to meet you all (again)!

[JugheadsHat]

Er, well, I'm Justin, I'm 16, and I live in Ohio. I've been going to the site and listening to the podcast for a few months now, and just recently I decided to give the message boards a try (and so far, not bad ). Anyway, I've been playing video games since before I can remember on my family's old NES and SNES. After the SNES I abandoned the Nintendo ship for a few years when my brother purchased a PSX. I continued on my little Sony romance with a PS2, but I finally found my way back to Nintendo when my bro and I traded in some Xbox were got for a Gamecube. I enjoy any type of game excluding racing games like Gran Turismo, Need for Speed, and the like. Outside of games, I like classic rock, reading, generally anything history related (especially ancient, and even more especially China's Three Kingdoms), playing basketball with my friends, anime, trivia, and obscure (and not-so-obscure) references.

So, see you around then. Uh, again.

[pocketnovel]

I'm John. I'm 24 from Illinois, about an hour north of Chicago. I currently work at a substance abuse treatment center as a counselor for teenagers and I am working on becoming teacher certified.

I of course owned and loved an NES, but when the 16-Bit generation rolled around I ended up with a Genesis and didn't own an SNES until a year later. From the N64 on though I've all Nintendo, all the time. I do own a PS2 but hardly ever played it - Nintendo software just appeals to me in a way that a lot of other stuff does not.

I've been reading the site and listening to the podcast for about a year but just joined the boards today after reading about the troubles with the site.

[Algorithm]

I'm Algorithm, but on other forums I'm usually know as Mithrus. My real name is Michael Fox, I'm 18 years old and just finishing up my first year of university.

I go to the University of Waterloo for Honours Planning; for those that don't know what it is, it just means I'm a City Planner. However, after I finish my Bachelor's, I may either get my Master's for Honours Planning or actually go into Architecture.

Nintendo was my first real gaming experience as a child, with the NES. Then I moved on to computer gaming as well as the GameBoy Color and N64. I've also owned an Xbox, have a PS2, a DS Lite and soon I'll get a Wii when I'm ready.

I also started up my own site last year and it has started to become quite active (especially the forums). There's a link to it in my sig image.

[Nintend()\/\/|\|312]

I'm Nintend()\/\/|\|312 (That's 1337 for Nintend-owner, 'cause I own/pwn n0obz so bad!rofl!) a.k.a Brendan. I'm 18 and am planning on turning 19 come October 21, unless I die or something. I'm studying Astrophysics at my university and plan on being a prof when I finish my eduacation within the next decade or so. During the third of the year that I am not in school I work as a seasonal labourer for the City of Calgary Parks department. I try to ruin the impression that urban sprawl is emaciating the once beautiful land our city now stands on by making the measly green spaces in suburban neighborhoods look less like post-apocalyptic warzones. I also try not to get dog poo sprayed all over me while using my string trimmer to cut long grass around fences and such. If you ever let your dog poop in a city park, pick it up or I'll kick your ass and take your name like a Reggie-possessed!

I have a number of hobbies, including gaming. I like to model things using a program called Blender. I'm not necessarily very good, but I like working with it to see what I can make. Me and my brother shoot films. We've made a number of them over the last few years. I play the Base Guitar, and I know a little on the keyboard. I like art; I've taken a number of art classes for fun. I like to draw, as most of you might know. I'm currently taking a pottery class. I'm not very good right now, but I just started. Uh, I guess that's it.

[Frostbite]

Hey what's up everyone. I'm Frostbite, I'm not going to give out my real name right now. I'm not going to give out my age either. You can call me Frost or Frosty or something related to that. I love Nintendo, lacrosse, and making things on GIMP. I also am doing a weekly gaming newspaper for a site called friendcodes.com. That's about it though so I guess I'll see people around here.

[midoe]

Hi everyone, my name is midoe and i am a complete nintendo fanboy. I of course love all of their IPs and I aslo occasionally dip into sony and mircrosoft too. I am 18 and live in Calaforina. I manage a 7-ELEVEn and, if you couldn't tell, am a horrable speller.

[LinkAMN]

Hello, I'm 23 and live in Ohio. I'm a regular poster on the Advanced Media Network forums, which is where I heard of this site. I hope to have an enjoyable experience on this forum (I've been a long-time fan of Nintendo, so I have a feeling I'll fit right in).

[blakepro]

Blakepro here.

I'm a long time Gonintendo fan and a Looooooooong time Nintendo fan. I grew up with the original 8bit wonder and have owned every nintendo console and portable since (sans virtual boy). Currently enjoying the Wii and DS.

I'm 26 years old. Live in ALASKA and I work for a company that manages a large website that gets millions of hits a month. I'm a traffic coordinator on the site.

I'm married, my wife also games, although she isnt as enthusiastic about games as I am, she is an awesome, awesome companion in life.

I would be more than willing to trade friend codes with any of you for the DS or Wii and look forward to getting to know you guys better.

[Commie Mario]

hello everyone, I'm a new member to gonintendo and yeah, simply that.

I'm not sure, but if my avi breaks the rules or anything or if anybody finds it offensive I'll replace it, but I just like the mario/stalin/russian relationship from super mario bros for the NES. Anyways, I'll be seeing everybody around

[Mike]

Yo.

I can't believe my first name by itself wasn't taken. Awesome.

I live in South Jersey. Near Camden. But not THAT near Camden.

But I'll probably be checking this from work most of the time. I work in Philadelphia.

I'm 26, but I don't look like it. See:

[img=mini]http://a699.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/51/m_ddac4dcec49597f4b2e35b1331e31e82.jpg[/img]

I write for ProgressiveBoink.com and, to a lesser extent, The Dugout, a baseball comedy blog of sports. They are my favorite things on the entire Internet.

I currently own a Wii, DS lite, the GBA SP that looks like an NES, an actual NES, and I'm pretty sure my N64 is somewhere under my bed. Oh, and a Playstation 2 that my brother gave me because he wanted to watch me beat Kingdom Hearts. I have yet to play Kingdom Hearts for more than like, two hours. Zelda is better. Times about infinity.

I enjoy baseball, waterslides, fruit snacks, terrible puns and dead celebrities.





oh and nintendo games i guess

[Piloteer]

I've been visiting GoNintendo since sometime last year, but it's great to finally be a part of the forum and community! I'm a longtime Nintendo fan, growing up on the NES (yes, I'm only 15, but we were too cheap to get an SNES!) and progressing on to today.

As my username refers, I am a huge aviation buff. I am 15 years old. I'm going to be starting flight lessons shortly and I plan to solo on my 16th birthday. I want to eventually become a pilot for a major commercial airline.

Other interest include politics/current events, games, sports (baseball, hockey, etc.), and traveling, among other things.

I'm happy to finally be here, and I hope to get to know and make friends with you guys in the coming months!
