And the mysterious A:\\> ruled all.*recalls in all the wonderful ways he was eaten by a grue before he figured out what the hell a grue was.*
Dude. My usual screen name is LrdDimwit.
Where are my taxes? Don't make me adopt you, then declare you've been bad, and take away your allowance.

Still got the old EQ. It still works, but my broadband connection and my Win XP laptop make it look like little abacus it is.
Hey, I've got some punch-cards lieing around from when my Dad took me to work because he couldn't find a sitter for a month. I punched the cards. That's my very second program, come to think of it. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]
Heck, I remember when everything was called "H-Games". And there wasn't any English translations anywhere. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/frown.gif[/img] It was great news to see a market grow up to let us appreciate these games. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img] Now, I'm hoping the market continues to grow at a good pace, and we don't have to wait 15 years before the big names start localizing their products for English.

You don't believe me? This board doesn't have avatars...but check out this random topic at the MegaTokyo forums: http://forums.megatokyo.com/index.php?s=6ef0f5af887518a069afd142c1b2eda0&showtopic=1 695381
I'm willing to bet good money that at least 3/4 of those avatars belong to men. Some of the names are girly too.
