Hello to all

[arclight]

Hi there everyone at halflife2.net,

I'm arclight or Tom, if anyone's interested. I live near London and am a massive Half-Life fan. I recieved the first Half-Life game free with the new PC my father bought way back in 1997 and I have been hooked ever since.

"Why have you only just joined?" Good question and one that can be answered simply. I have only recently got into forums and wanted to find one for my favourite PC games series of all time.

Looking forward to posting and everything here.

Welcome to the forums Tom. Now, you bow for me. Do it.

Greetings, Tom! A few facts from your's truely.

1) Off-topic seems to have a drunken haze over the sector when viewed from a distance.

2) Don't sleep near the Politics forum, i've lost alot of sleep from the sounds of some old guy yelling...

3) The Doom 3 engine seems to be the Bee's Knees.

4) Don't ever, ever, ever, ever ask these forums "Which is better? HL2 or Dewm 3?"

5) Female mosquitoes only drink blood, as the males drink fruit juice.

6) If you drop a cat from the Eiffel Tower, it will survive, unless, of course, it passes out, is obese, unfit, or asleep.

7) If you need to ask any questions, don't be afraid to PM a member of staff (NOT Sulkdodds, for he is only a content writer )

8) Your name is Tom.

 

[sinkoman]

Yeah um...

The um. The tradition here is for noobs to make a thread...

*muffled laugh*

Erhrm.

To make a thread in the um... The politics section, stating their... Um, their oppinion...

*muffled laugh*

Cough.

Their oppinion on the bush administrations actions in Iraq.

*turns around and wispers to danimal*

Oh my god dude, he's going to do it! Shut up, stop laughing, he can hear us!

 

[Danimal]

i leave that up to you remember? i only say that if you didnt do it that i would

 

[arclight]

Thanks for the awesome welcome everybody. Something about posting in the politics section?

*straigtens loosely done up tie*

And I do believe the politics forum is this-a-way?

Seriously, I'm a freelance journalist, arguing is my bread and butter, although you know what they say: something about opinions are like chocolate machines? I guess it loses something in the translation.

Cheers again for the welcome everyone.

Tom.

 

[Sulkdodds]

I'm a freelance journalist

Is it good work? I'm doing the OCN Level 3 Print Journalism course (I'm just assuming you're British and know what that is for no apparent reason).

 

[arclight]

Oh definately. I used to work for a local paper in my area until I got bored with it. Now I travel a lot reporting on all sorts of events, trade shows, subjects I feel like.

However, it is definately worth signing up to a local syndicate to avoid multiple coverings of the same event. Plus, it breaks down the competition. Sometimes I have to swallow my pride and write some tosh for a gossip mag to make ends meet, but if you work hard to make the contacts the world opens up.

Oh, and yes I am British. I am actually going to be sitting an intensive 6 month course in magazine journalism at Harlow(e) in Essex in February to refresh my writing style and shorthand technique. Should be fun fun fun.

Tom.

Wow, during the day you are both mild-mannered reporters, but when the need arises, you become.... SUPERHEROES!

Fighting crime, solve injustice, work for WORLD PEACE!

*sigh* This is me sober too.

 

[arclight]

Wow, during the day you are both mild-mannered reporters, but when the need arises, you become.... SUPERHEROES!

It would be cool, but sadly no. Although, maybe I'm just saying that because I know that you know I know that you know that I am a superhero, but to keep my identity safe I know that you know that I know that I would deny it anyway.

Hmmm, and this is me sober too!

Tom.
