Who am I? I'm a user going by the name of Issac. That's not my name. It's Tim. Just as it says in my avatar, which I made myself a really long time ago, around 12 years ago perhaps. I used my first wacom pen, which included windows 3.11 drivers. Yeah.
That wasn't that interesting.
What brought you here?
I was lurking around this forum for a long time before I joined. I was also a frequent member of the IRC channel before I joined. Strangely, I remember getting Mega Man Battle Network 2 from here, but it was released before KiVan joined this site (and he's member number 1)... Hmm, I am so confused! Anyway, I lurked around for a long time, then I joined one day, to discuss. And I'm not sure if I have another account, since I got the nickname Issac on the gbatemp IRC channel. OH well. I was brought here for the Roms, for the discussions, from the IRC.
Why did you stick around?
I stick around because I like reading gaming news, (and before, because I wanted to get / see the new releases of GBA games, then DS games... and then I got bored of releases).
How do you identify yourself? As Issac. that's i s s a c. I pronounce it as "is ack", not as the name "ayesack". And I've told this story one hundred times, but It comes from Lunar Silver Star Story Complete Rules, which almost was my user name on IRC. it was LsSsCRules. Somehow My username was shortened from some server, into LsSsC. then another server decided to go all lowercase on the names. lsssc (that's LSSSC). A user thought my name was ISSSC, and that it was misspellt version of "ISSAC" (which in his turn was a misspell of ISAAC). And there my new name was born. Issac!
Tell us whatever you're comfortable in sharing.
I am 24 years old, turning 25 in december. Live in Sweden, studying my final year, becoming a Master of Science and Engineering in Media Technology... I guess that's the english title. (or if it is Master of Science in Engineering and Media Technology.. I never learn). I am a member of Mensa (and through there, I have a "phonebook" with Mensan contact information (addresses, mail, phone number etc.), and one of them is Minecraft dude Notch).
I like eating almost anything, though I am picky about quality and stuff. I'm a passive agnostic, meaning I don't believe in a god, but I'm open to be convinced otherwise. I'm also open to religious people, I support them and am interested in their culture. I like drinking. Never done illegal drugs.
I am a pirate, I must admit that. However, I don't think it's right. Therefore I try to buy as many things I can. Buying manga I like, buying games, buying vinyl albums, dvd boxes. However, some things are hard to get by, and sometimes I'm just cheap. Sometimes I want to try it out.
Now, on this account (and let's say it's my only one since I don't remember): I have been here since april 2004. Thats 8 years and 4 months. I've seen mods and other staff come and go. I've seen several revisions of the board. I've seen several rule changes, and even been a part of one (or a clarification atleast). I've been in arguments with old moderators, wild discussions. They were asses. They got banned for being asses and using their powers. I still miss them though, since they brought a certain spice to the forum. Like the most heated fanboy flamewars that can occur now, but it had nothing to do with any fanboyism. It had to do with rules, morality, changes, religion, sex...
Anyway, 8 years and 4 months. I never had one. single. warning! I feel proud.
My favourite colours are grayish blue, and metallic grayish pink. I have a lot of favourite movies; Eternal Sunshine of the Spottles Mind, Vanilla Sky, What Dreams May Come, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Across the Universe and last but not least, The Phantom of the Opera (2004 version).
I like reading, a lot! House of Leaves (danielewski), Raw Shark Texts (hall), Wind-up bird chronicles (murakami) amongst a huge bunch of others. Hit me up at goodreads (pm me here) if you want a detailed list
I like music, a lot! Envy are my favourites, along with Sigur Rós, The Fall of Troy, Lagwagon, NoFX, Bright Eyes and Death Cab for Cutie. amongst a huge bunch of others. Check out last.fm/user/timlarsson and become my friend if you want to.
Which systems do I own? A lot!
NES (standard), SNES (standard), Game Boy Pocket (silver), Game Boy Color (transparent), Game Boy Advance (white), N64 (standard), Game Cube (black), Wii (standard), Phat DS (standard), DS lite (metallic rose (pink)), 3DS (aqua blue), PSX, PS2, PS3, PSP, eeeh... and probably some more... I'll edit this if I can remember more. (in a hurry)
Yeah... I don't know what more to say, except that I collect special editions and limited editions of things. I collect music (vinyl, 7", cd's, limited edition stuff), books, games...
See ya! (oh and I love getting PMs)
