Member Introductions- Tell us about yourself

Hello! I'm Alyssa. I backed Cryamore. I'm a gamer. My favourites are World of Warcraft, Dragon Age, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, Skyrim, and Mass Effect. I make AMV's/GMV's/MMV's for fun occasionally. I've been out of commission in that regard for a bit. I'm a movie junkie. I'm game for almost any movie as long as it's not a chick flick or romantic comedy. I love horror, action and psychological thrillers. Shows I'm currently obsessed with: Sons of Anarchy, House (I'm late to get on board with this I know), Walking Dead, and probably more that I can't think of off the top of my head. Oh and I hail from Canada...hence the extra "U's" in my words!

All in all... I'm pretty boring.

Hey!

I'm Dheyrdre aka Dee. I live in Brazil, a terrible place to be nerd and is so freaking hot!
I love and collect, comics, books, games, figures, statues and recently started in the world of board games. Although I suck in understanding rules I'm trying my best.

I started collecting Brazilian editions of comics, but about 4-5 years ago I decide to only purchase original comics.
I prefer hardcover instead single monthly issues.

I have an OCD, I only use my nerd stuff after taking a shower or washing my hands soooo clean.

Between my friends only a handful are nerd, the ones that aren't nerd the most part "understand" my tastes.

You are a great collector of so many different items: statues, books, games and now you do board games. Cool! Thats funny about the OCD and when you use your nerd stuff. Hardcover is the best!

Haha aweh thanks Eric. You're sweet. Yeah my birthday is on the 19th. Turning 22...god I feel old.

Hi Dee! Nice to meet you!

I definitely get where you're coming from with not letting people borrow things. I'm so picky about my collections. I collect games, dolls, books, movies, tv series, anime, etc. If anyone messes them up, oh my bajeezus there will be hell to pay! I also understand OCD first hand. I was diagnosed with it at a young age. Turns out that that was a wrong diagnosis and I am Autistic. (Which mimics OCD and all of the other disorders I was diagnosed with by this crappy doctor!)

Do you speak Portuguese by any chance since you're from Brazil? I'm Portuguese myself!

Falo sim
Vc é de Portugal?

Yeah, I forgot to include great love for tv shows

You're still young!!! I'm almost thirty D:

Alyssa:

Your still at such a great age and very young. I wish I was 22. I will be turning 39 on October 5 and wonder where the years have gone. To be 22 again Yes, Dee is such a great and cool and awesome person like yourself. Your also a collector of many different items such as anime and books. What kind of anime or books do you collect? Have you seen a series of anime called Fairy tale. Such a great and funny anime with Wizards that are part of different magical guilds. I recommend it if you have not seen it yet. Just like Dee and myself we are all very careful with our books and I also don't like lending them out to people or having them handle my books. I can't stand the spine of a book being damaged or pages being turned the wrong way. It just horrible seeing how some people hold books, turn pages or take care of them. Some people don't have love for books and how they treat them. I guess that's my OCD in regards to books and how they are handled.

Hi, my name is Steven, I'm 27 and I live in South Australia. That's enough, right? *Starts to walk off*

...

What, its not? *sighs* Fine, I'll start again.

Hello all! My name is Steven, although I'm known as TheEuphoGuy online. I'm an avid gamer and my preferred genres are Platformers, RPGs, and Strategy (Real Time, Turn Based, Grand and tabletop). I tend to prefer JRPGs over WRPGs (although I am currently playing the crap out of Skyrim) and my favorite games/series are (By Genre): Shin Megami Tensei series + Spin offs, Tales of... Series, Morrowind, Skyrim, Final Fantasy VI (RPGs) A.R.E.S, LIMBO, And Yet It Moves (Platformers) Total Annihilation, Supreme Commander, Planetary Annihilation, Civilization V, Command & Conquer 3, DEFCON and Kings Bounty Series (Strategy) Settlers of Catan, the Game of Thones Strategy game (A Risk variant in the GoT setting) (Tabletop)

I'm also an amateur musician, which is the source of my screen name. The instrument I play is called a euphonium, which can be shortened to Euph or Eupho. Its a brass instrument normally used in ensemble settings as the principle tenor voice within the ensemble that can play the melody line, act as a soloist or strengthen the bass line (Sometimes all of the above in the one piece!) As an example of what it sounds like, I've found a video on Youtube of a piece called Oregon, as performed by Brass Band Munchen.

 

The Euphoniums sit to the right of the musical director, in the front row of the band, closest to the audience. The Euphoniums most notably have the melody at 2:16, 3:35 and 4:26. There are some other bits of melody and counter-melody in there, but its kinda hard to separate, unless you know what to listen for .

So yeah, that's me.
