Hello, I'm here, ---- or is that back?

Hi.

Yes, I'm afraid I'm dreaded Mr. n00b, ---- hopefully a state which will change with time. Greetings, salutations and good after morteve (pick which is appropriate), to all.

People with especially amazing memories might remember me as Ekitrina, when i scouted the game for http://www.audiogames.net, a sight about gaming for the photonically challenged, both covering things which work with screen readers and actual audio games, ie, games that run by sound alone such as audio doom, audio quake, audio warcraft, audio packman, and (currently just released), the first ever audio rpg.

Yes, I like games as you might guess, both audio stuff and oldschool retro type grafical stuff (I have enough eyeballs to play 2D games), som of my favourite series being Metroid (well not counting prime), mega man, and Turrican.

I however can't play pokemon or similar due to necessity of textage hence why I like Monbre!

Other stuff,I'm actually also doing a phd in philosophy and live in the north of England where it is cold, stormy, and full of large scary people drinking beeer!

That's a thumb nale sketch of muggins anyway.

oh and yes, Ekitrina was female, and my current character is male. I do in fact possess a Y chromosome, ----- probably stuck in the bottom of a draw somewhere ;D.

Oh and chocolate is good.

Wow, impressive!
Welcome back or, as the case may be.

It's dark isn't it? Well hi! Yes; I like chocolate as well! Chocolate is so good!!!

Yep, it's dark, ---- as I'm known mostly on the interweb.

Chocolate is indeed good, ---- well providing it contains decent amounts of coco, which a lot of the bog standard stuff doesn't.

Btw, ---- which bits' impressive?

The part about going from female to male, the doctors did a great job
That part about a phd in Philosophy is only mildly interesting.

female to male. Hmm. I guess that is kind of weird. YOu would've needed a lot of transplants and amputations, I shouldn't wonder ...

Well, lets just say there's a secret institute somewhere in the carribian who have been conducting secret undisclosed secret research of secracy, ---- cough cyborgs! cough.

It does make singing tenor rather a lot easier, though there were points when hormones and sterriotypes got severely confused:

"oh fluffy wuffikins, I've baked a pretty pink cake with a ribbon for you, ---- so you'll eat it right now! or die! yes, face me in a beer drinking duel to the death just to pove your strength, ----- sweetums"

Hence why I decided all the sterriotypes were bloody stupid anyway.

pluss (and this bit is actually true), a friend of mine is a lady who spends her time doing viking reinactment and clobbering people with broardswords. She used to have great fun discribing viking torture in graffic detail over breakfast in colidge.

Saying anything about genda sterriotypes around her tends to result in removal of several limbs!

lol

Lol, I was being a bit sarcastic, I found the philosophy phd interesting.

yep i agree with garr

Yeah, psychology is where I'm headed next september. In Canada, though.

Anyway, welcome back!

Thanks.

Psychology is fun. Actually what I'm doing is trying to defign disability in a useful way that's handy in debates and such. The nice, though also difficult part is having to write lots of stuff that people haven't written on before, on things like the fact of taking more effort to do something being a contributing factor to disability, ---- not merely whether you can do it or not, and a definition of normality.

This one was bizarre, sinse beyond statistics, nobody's actually defigned it that I could find, ---- though loads of disability activists get hacked off about it.

As you'll guess, my field is obviously ethics, ---- and yes, I also play random games as well.

i love games like icecream. and i love icecream a lot.

Some day, you'll be quoted by someone looking for another paper on the same subject. That's gotta count for something, after all the long hours of agonizing over it

SOme don't ever make it ...

If you're the first one publishing on a subject, though, the chances are pretty good that someone else looking for information on the same thing will go to what you published.

Getting published is pretty hard, though.

You're a pretty awesome guy. :>
