Hey everyone. Like most people I'm not great at introductions, but hello!


I live in the UK watching cartoons ('Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog' is the best cartoon ever made whatever anyone says), going to college, reading books, playing games, writing music and dreaming of not having to work in the retail industry any more. I have a degree in English and Music and have gone back to college to study music technology, so as to get the gears grinding for my aim of writing music in the gaming industry, or media industry at least. I'd love to be able to draw too, but I guess the age of the Renaissance Prince is over. Oh, and I'm Faust's other (much better, cooler) half.


Game-wise I was raised on 2D platformers and grew into RPGs, although I'm pretty open minded and just like a good experience. I'm pretty bored by (and bad at) FPSs though.


Anyway, hello!

Welcome, I hope we'll soon get to see hilarious domestic rows about whose turn it is to do the washing up on salt wold.

Well, I would win, obviously, as I'm also the strongest. (And tallest.)

Thanks, I'd be very up for that! Glad you liked my work! One of the reasons for me joining up here was to hopefully start some projects. Oh, and the Midlands IS the best. Warmer, too.

You know that's actually how he speaks, right?

Sorry, I don't enjoy football. Or Birmingham.

Yes, hopefully I'll be making some more contributions to the weekly artistry thread - brilliant idea by the way - although this week's has me a bit stumped. I'm hovering between 'do you hear the people sing' and 'they have the plant, but we have the power'.

I like how Paolo (mistakedly) mentions he's my cooler other half and your impression is that is a geek. What the fuck does that make me mother fuckers?

I out-cool everyone on this thread by a significant majority. I am like the Fonzie of the SaltW.


EYYYYYY

Nu-uh, no mistake. I don't shy away form the fact that I am a bit of a geek but yeah, still cooler. A character from a sitcom (i.e. a figure we are meant to laugh at) made before you were born and set in a period before your dad was born is your role model for coolness?

So how exactly are you two connected?
