The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[Vilden]

Not sure which was my first forum, either the Blind Guardian forum which I joined 1999 or some Counterstrike forum for 3D modelling/skinning (modding a mod ) which should have been at the same time as I started playing CS in 1999 too.

The first forum I was ever truly a regular of was an emulation forum. I made some lifelong friends there that I went to visit last year (they live in the US). I've also been active on various gaming forums and an INTP forum (though I think the MBTI is kinda bullshit now). This is really the only forum I check up on anymore though.

Gamefaqs and mtgsalvation were my first two I can remember.

 

[Vilden]

I've lurked on mtgsalvation alot!

tangentially related but I hate how the card comment/rating feature on gatherer has been broken for literally years I used to love reading people's comments on cards even though I barely even play the game.

Guess BarrysWorld woulda been my first forum.

Apparently it died in early 2001. When I was 11.

Having been online and received all kindsa cruel and unusual messages since I was a child makes it pretty hard to feel sympathy for the attention whores that get trolled on Twitter and shit.

The Gunbound freeboard was the first message board I posted on. Posting on there, playing Gunbound, listening to Black Sabbath and watching porn pretty much took up my whole summer when I was 13.

i've probably mentioned this before but on CS source i have over 2500 hours playtime and 76,000+ rounds JUST on office. that's over 100 solid days of my life i'll never get back.

In years 9 and 10 I had about 60% attendance at school because I occasionally get migraines and people are gullible as shit but really it was just de_dust.

Luckily alcohol and sex and guitar took over towards the end of year 10 so I don't have to live in basements.

i decided to completely stop playing when i realised it was a genuine addiction and that i was opening the game just instinctively sometimes without even making the decision to play it, and was no longer enjoying it

Get addicted to hard drugs, you pussy.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i feel like that's a pretty rigid definition of addiction they're using, but if not then yeah i wasn't addicted at all. maybe more of an obsessive compulsion.

I joined black-sabbath.com in... 2004 I think? Then herzeleid.com in 05, and the now-defunct Wizards of the Coast boards in 06. Then here in 07. I joined Mtgsalvation two or three times but they were no fun. I got permabanned each time because I constantly voiced that newer Magic was starting to suck and apparently that was "trolling". Mtgsalvation was AIDS.

Use Magiccards.info. Anything Wizards does online blows.

well deserved ban tbh

fuck any fandoms version of 'genwunners'

Because things can never go downhill and complaints to that effect are never legitimate.

poopin!

they can

but all i've heard from Dustin Henderson over there doesn't hold up

its all complaints about power level and shit that are outright false

 

[CiG]

Oh okay, fair enough.

I'm probably a bit sensitive because when I used to complain about certain editions of Warhammer: 40k douchebags would always whip out the ol' "hurrr genwunner dickhead hurrr" and it was so annoying.
