I'm not exactly new here, but I haven't been to the boards in well over a year and a half, I figured I would introduce myself again.

My name is Lumphead. It's based off of an inside joke and the fact that my last name is Lumpkin. I joined the site on day 1. I've been listening to the podcast (back when it was NintendoNow) since episode 14. Back when the Wii was just the Revolution. good times. haven't missed an episode since.

Nintendo is definitely my main source of video games (though spore has been getting my attention as of late). I have a ds and a wii. Unlike most people my age, i got into gaming relatively late. My first system was a gamecube. Also unlike many people, I really enjoyed the gamecube. However, i obviously missed a ton of great games and i'm trying to catch up. Thank god for the virtual console! Now i've played ocarina, link to the past, super mario world, and plenty of other gems. I really appreciate all the things nintendo have made over their history and find them quite superior.

I'm really into music. I play guitar (a sweet DeArmond Jetstar), Tenor Sax, and a little piano. seriously. that thing is like, 3 inches tall. With the sax, I'm in band and jazz band. I made 2nd chair area Jazz. The concert was 2 days ago. I had a baller improv solo that took a couple licks from "Play That Funky Music, White Boy." believe it!

I'm big into my church. I go to a ton of church camps and I'm applying for a camp director's internship this summer. I just really like that scene, it's very dear to my heart. Jesus really helped me through some tough times.

Also, I have a great girlfriend. I've never had a serious relationship before, but Megan is amazing. We've been going out for a little over 6 months. Although she is not much of modern a gamer, she does regularly play her supernintendo and a genesis. Her real passion is Literature. Not only does she read faster than anyone i've ever met, but she writes her own stuff as well (which, in my biased opinion, is amazing).

I used to be pretty active on the boards, but i had a bit of a falling out after a move and a lot of busy stuff in my life, but now that i have some free time I plan to spend it here. However, unlike the last time i was here, I plan to be more personable. Instead of just stating some opinions, I'd like to make some nice gamer friends, so if anyone wants to drop a line, just shoot a p.m. my way.

I'll catch you guys and gals on the boards!

Sup everybody. I'm sort of new to GoNintendo, but I will say, it is great to see such a well done site to Nintendo. I'm definitely one of the older people here, and I grew up with Nintendo (still remember the Christmas when I got my NES). I love the honest look at Nintendo this site and the podcast brings, and I love the fact that it cuts through all the BS that tends to run through other sites.

I'm notorious for not posting much on message boards, but I'll try to participate a bit more than usual :D .

Hi.

I'm fairly new. Posted on a fair few news articles, but not the boards.

Does the fact that it has official in the title mean I should be wearing a suit while typing this?

I've been reading GoNintendo for news and listening to the podcast for months but I've made the decision to become an active member of the forums thanks to the steady downhill decline of another forum I've been a moderator at for a few years. Plus I've been really wanting to find people who actually play Nintendo games online, so I figured this was a good place to start!

Basically, I'm a hardcore Nintendo fanboy through and through and if anyone is looking for someone to play Smash Bros., Mario Kart, or Animal Crossing online, hit me up through a PM or IM.

Hi, I'm Andrew, I've always been reading the news posts and stuff for a while so I thought I'd join. I like all kinds of games and, this gen, have a Wii, 360, and DS. I bought a new Cube after regretting selling it, and I have a PS1 still, and I gave away my NES when I was young, and I regret that. Besides that and my GB's I've never actually owned anything else, but have good experiences with other systems.
Besides games I like baseball, golf, and Italian food.

Hi everyone!

Postby LinkedTriforce » 28 Dec 2008 14:22

Hey all,

This is my introductory post to the forum, I guess. I've posted 2 or 3 comments on stories on gonintendo.com. I've been listening to the podcast for a long time (not the very first episode, but at least from the teens), and I visit the site semi-regularly -- there are so many posts there all the time that it's hard to keep up!

Just met some of the crew yesterday at Video Games Live in Newark (RMC, Nicky Hill and JohnTheSavage). It was great meeting you guys there! Also got to hear Rawmeat talk to Deux Michaels on the phone, and told RMC to bug him about not being on the podcast.

I've been a huge Nintendo fan my whole life. My first system was the Game Boy, and my first console was the N64, so I missed some of the great classics from the NES and SNES (trying to get through some of them on the VC!) Right now the only console I own is the Wii, but I hope to get a DS soon (waiting for the DSi.)

Anyway, I'd love to get some people's friend codes for Smash Bros. Brawl and other games. My Brawl and Mario Kart Wii FCs are posted, and I'll post up some others soon. I guess I'll start adding some people as friends in order to get their friend codes. PM or IM (ABassCube on AIM) me if you add me. :)

I'll try to post on the forums at least semi-regularly. Keep up the great work, GoNintendo crew and I hope to see you all again soon, maybe at the next podcast party. :)

Adam

Well, been a Nintendo fan since '95 (I play Xbox 360 and PlayStation as well), and I'm reading the excellent GoNintendo news and articles very often, so why not join the community as well, eh?

Five favorite games:

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
2. Do Re Mi Fantasy: Milon no DokiDoki Daibouken
3. Der Langrisser
4. Shenmue/Shenmue II
5. Adventures of Lolo

Apart from gaming, I also like movies, music, arts and trade (marketing, economics, retailing).
Looking forward to a nice time here on the boards.

Cheers!

Huh. Doesn't look like many people post in the introduction thread.

Greetings and salutations, I am ShinWheelchair, but you can call me Wheelchair, Wheelie, Wheel, whatever. Hell, you could call me Jake if you wanted.

My very first video game device was a big old Game Boy grey, and the first game I ever played was Final Fantasy Legend 2. The Gamecube was the first Nintendo home console I ever owned, not counting the N64 at my dad's house, and I now own a Wii, and I'm very satisfied. It's a shame people won't put the time and effort into finding the charming gems on the system. Pity.

Anywho, I hope to contribute well in the ways of video game or other types of discussion.
More interesting things to be put in this spot at a future date, whenever I can think of what I want to put. Hopefully this space will be filled with something interesting before Duke Nukem Forever releases on the Phantom.

Well, I've already posted on a couple of threads but I figure I'll introduce myself properly here.

My name's Adam and I currently reside in the region of Northwest Indiana (sometimes called by NW Indiana residents as "The Region" out of denial that they actually live in Indiana and not Chicago). I'm 24 and I've been playing all things Nintendo since I was about 5 starting with an NES and working my way up as the years went by. I've owned every Nintendo system Nintendo's made except a GBA (yes, I have a Virtual Boy in storage somewhere and a Game & Watch before it disappeared), so I'll admit to being a Nintendo fanboy. I'm also into PC gaming, even though my computer is too primitive to play some of the latest games out now.

I got into GoNintendo through a coworker a couple of years ago. He showed me this site where a guy continuously updated his blog daily with never ending Nintendo related news. I became quite impressed with how committed RMC was to his site (and still is), and then I got hooked when I listened to his podcast. Since then, I'll check the site almost everyday and try to listen to the latest podcast whenever I can.

I'm usually a shy guy but I decided to stop my lurking ways here since I've noticed the GoNintendo community is pretty cool. I've also been looking for people to play with online for awhile now and I figure this is the best community to do it in. If anyone wants to play Super Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, MOH 2 Heroes, or Bomberman Blast, PM me and I'll love to arrange something (especially Smash Bros).

Oh, introductions! How fun!!

I'm David, a.k.a. Ruby Mars. I'm 36 and live in Victoria, BC (Canada). I've been gaming since the late 1970s, and I've been a Nintendo fan (NOT fanboy!) since the NES era. I currently own a Wii, DSlite, XBox 360 and a PC (non-gaming laptop). I have previously owned a Gamecube, DS, XBox, PS2, GBA SP, GBA, Dreamcast, N64, Sega Saturn, SNES, Genesis, TurboGrafx-16, NES, Texas Instruments 99/4A home computer, and Telstar (Pong) console, as well as various PCs throughout the years!

I will play pretty much anything as long as it's fun, but don't go in much for sports games (except for my continuing need to own 2K Sports' annual NBA 2Kwhatever) or FPSs. Not much of an online gamer, although I tinker with WoW and Guild Wars a bit (although I mostly play solo, strangely enough).

Anything else that I could tell you has been classified Above Top Secret by Canada's Weapon-X program, and will be released on a need-to-know basis...

Hi everyone. I have been a fan of this site for awhile now. I have been playing Nintendo since the NES days, playing video games since the Atari 2600 days. Some of my favorite games are, any Zelda game, The Wind Waker being my favorite, Mega Man 2, Chrono Trigger, and Mario Galaxy. Nintendo's stance that gaming should be about games is one that I have had for a long time. A console can have the best graphics and tons of power, but it's useless without good games. I get into a lot of arguments on that subject. I look forward to sharing my opinions with these forums.

Hello, I am new. I've been visiting GoNintendo for years (and been listening to the podcast every week for around a year or so) but just today signed up on the forum.

I've been a gamer since I was 4; the first game I played was Barnstorming on my parents ol' Atari 2600.

My favorite game series are: Street Fighter (I play the series competitively), Outrun, and Super Smash Bros. (also competitively, although not as often). But really, I play games from pretty much every genre.

My name is Dan. I'm a HUGE Mario fan, so GoNintendo is naturally my favorite site. :P

I've been a reader for a very long time but never posted too much because of the two separate accounts you had to have.

I'm also a huge Pistons, Red wings, Tigers, and Lions fan! (In that order) 8)
