So I thought it was about time that I said 'hi' to everyone and introduce myself. I'm Debs. I'm from Melbourne, Australia, and like everyone here I'm a bit of a gamer. Being the sort who's kind of all over the place, I studied Criminology, then changed direction to work in gaming, and now I write about video games and read comics when I get a chance. Also, I'm a terrible collector of video game and Aliens/Predators stuff which is becoming a horrible addiction! I can imagine I'll end up being one of those people on Hoarders, buried under a pile of Alien figurines, replica weapons and Monster Hunter plushies. I already need a bigger apartment. :P Yeah, so ... me in a nutshell. Hi folks! |
|
Well you're my new best friend because Aliens and Predator franchises are my all time fav. I really cant wait for AvP3 to come out. And Prometheus looks like a wet dream |
|
Welcome :D Glad to have you here! |
Pics or it didn't happen |
|
Thanks Jess! Glad to be part of the community! I'm so glad that there's another Aliens and Predator fan around! Even though they really weren't great films, I can't help but squeal every time I see the first Alien vs Predator fight in AvP! And Sigourney - the ultimate tough chick! Well, her and Linda Hamilton... |
Haha! When (if?) my Portal Replica gun and Dead Space Plasma Cutter orders come in, I'll post some. :D |
word. Terminator series is also a fav of mine. I got the conclusion all figured out |
|
@pr0ph3cyx I keep wondering if I went all T2 Linda Hamilton, would I survive a zombie apocalypse longer? These are the questions that keep me awake at night. o_o lol |
|
The zombie apocalypse will happen, get that machete ready! |
That would be scary. I should really do a step by step zombie apocalypse guide for everyone here on the forums. It'll be a good read |
|
I'm ready, Kyle. I have my zombie plan. I should get it laminated. |
|
I use Left4Dead to strategize. I think I'm ready. |
|
Hmmm... I approve. *nods* |
|
@Debs Fuzy - Hello! I also like Aliens VS Predators, maybe not as much as YOU do, but I have my own little quirks. I own a lot of Batman and cat stuff...haha. |
|
@Racquel Heya! Nice to finally meet you... as much as you can meet someone on a forum lol! I wish I could like Batman, but I'm more of a Marvel girl. :/ I bet when I finally get around to playing Arkham Asylum/City, I'll probably change my mind though. Does cat stuff include Catwoman? I think she's one of the few DC characters that I like. :P |
|
@Debs - Haha, yes, you make a good point. Yes, cat stuff includes Catwoman. She reminds me a lot of myself sometimes... Hey. Marvel is good too! I love Iron Man! I can't wait for the Avengers movie to come out :D |
|
@Racquel omg same here. But since you're in North America you guys get it sooner than we do here. No spoilers, okay?! lol |
|
Spoiler!: There will lots of ass kicking in the film |
|
kekeke great spoiler! lol |
|
omg I thought it was a romantic comedy... |
Nope. It's a historical war drama. Based on true events, like Saving Private Ryan. And War Horse. |
|
I haven't chimed in. Just wanted to say hello. I've always liked the AVP, mostly for the aliens of course. They are so badass. I don't have anything cool from the series though. Sad. |
|
Speaking of Aliens... am I the only one excited for Prometheus?? Looks amazing. |
|
No you're not the only one, LJ. I'm probably going to do a Aliens/Predator marathon over the long weekend now. And hi bloodbath! |
|
I am also excited. Looks like a summer blockbuster to beat this year |
|
Actually I'm looking forward to it sparking another round of replicas and collectibles. I need ALL the aliens stuff. |
|
you're place must be littered with cool stuff |
|
Eh, it's slowly getting there. I mostly have plushies but I'm getting into the harder stuff now. :P |
|
I only have Neo from the Dvd collectors Edition of The Matrix and Halo Reach Collectors edition of the Spartans |
|
Yeah I've got a few things from the CE games that I've bought. I've currently got on order the Portal Replica gun and the Dead Space 2 plasma cutter, plus a replica miniature Claptrap that talks! When I get those in I might gather all the stuff to take a photo! |
you are awesome. You're bf must think you're nuts. But I think you're an awesome geek ;) |
|
I haven't even seen all the AVP movies tbh XD |
|
there is only 2 lol |
|
hihi debs! trying to meet everyone on here.. never seen any of the avp movies though! I did once take a criminology class... I fell asleep :P lol |
|
MMOSpecialist - I didn't rate the second one, but the first one was cool just to see awesome Alien/Predator fights. And thank you pr0ph! Most people think I'm crazy for the amount I spend on this stuff, but you actually end up meeting some interesting people by collecting it too! One of the shops I frequent had replica Predator spear for sale (like this one) just because the owner is a fan of the stuff. He owns a bookstore lol! And hi lucig3n! Yeah... crim 101 isn't for everyone, but I love it! Not very good for irl work though haha! |
|
I'm a little late to the party here but welcome to the forums Debs! =D Possible ordering a replica portal gun eh? Totally jealous!!!!! |
|
Debs where did you go?! |
I'm still alive, I swears!!!! Sorry for my absence - whenever I go through major life changes I tend to go randomly awol. In this case I quit my job! FREEEEEDOOOOOOOOMMMMMM! |
but how do you make money to stay on the interwebs? |
I have some money saved up, and I'm working to get a paying writing gig here in Australia. Tough goings though. :S But hopefully not for too long! |
|
from the sounds of it, you should get a job playing D3... you would make a killing with time and a half overtime for over 8hrs a day LOL. Good luck though, your website is well put together though, I've enjoyed it everytime I've hopped on it! Goodluck with the job hunt! |
|
Thanks lucig3n! Currently I'm waiting on some emails back so fingers crossed! And I'm trying to ween myself off Diablo - I'm starting to slow down a bit, but I think that's only because I have other stuff to do, then I'll be back on it lol! Needz moar energy drinks! |
|
It's too soon to ween yourself off Diablo, it just came out! |
|
if you creep on her raptr like i just did, she shows 57hours of D3 in the last week. 8hours a day average...PS the sun can be nice at times :P |
That's not totally accurate! I've definitely played 40+ hours, but I often tab out to check/write emails, reply to DMs, etc. Also, the sun is trying to kill me - that sucker can stay on the other side of my window blinds!
I knoooooww... and I haven't even hit a lvl 60 yet! My DH is getting totally dominated in Nightmare by any rare mob. I can't quit entirely until I hit at least one 60, but I'm tempted to try and get as many achievements as possible! :P Now, as I mentioned to Lucig3n on Twitter, it has completely ruined my sleeping pattern! It's 3:30am here right now and I'm wide awake O_O THAT'S why I need to ween myself off it a little bit! |
|
oh i see, as long as there is a good reason for it! What is your tag? I haven't had time to play much, but i can hold my own! |
|
My tag: Srsns#6894 I've actually managed to stop playing... for now. Taking bets on how long I last lol! |
|
I just beat Diablo on normal yesterday, i'm ready for round 2! |
|
Bwahahahahahaha! Bringing up an old thread because someone let me back on the site! *cue maniacal laughter* If you don't know who I am, I'm Debs -- old writer from the site that is mostly MIA thanks to my adventures here in Australia. And because I pretty much suck at using forums. :P |
|
We did a podcast tonight! So, i'll let you know when we do another, we need you! |
