I am posting this thread. Because I want to make known even more about the forging community. I propose two questions that will bring into light the general mindset of a forger. It all boils down to two questions. What else do you do? Does it involve it involve technology? I myself am a programmer, multi-media designer(took a class in highschool). I can draw pretty well when I try, and I'm a decent writer. And I'm also some what of an audio editor (Using the voice synthesizing program, Utau). Edit: I notice that some people have posted quite a bit more details than I did. So I will also note that: I, as a programmer, was introduced to programming through Flash and actionscript. I used tutorials to learn Actionscript 3.0 and general programming concepts for the past 4 years. I am now using tutorials and general self-teaching methods to learn Java. And I am now taking a course in the c++ programming language at Nova Southeastern University. Due to all the programming I learned, I took fascination in a more technical aspect of playing a game. GLITCHING! I am a rather big name glitcher in the MMORPG Runescape. I wrote an incomplete story when I was 13-14. And I wrote a short story when I was in highschool, that had significantly better grammar than my story from before. I also decided to give drawing a manga style character a shot quite recently. Given it was my first attempt, it turned out really well. And I have gotten into audio editing with the voice synthesizing program "Utau". Between recording my voice for the program and actually trying to sing (which I never did before), I came to realize that I have a really powerful voice, as I am able to project strong almost operatic notes that could be heard from about 100 feet away.
I draw A LOT, I try to produce electronic music, and i also like creative writing. I've also played soccer for about 12 years now.
I write a lot of creative stories and sometimes fanfictions. I also draw a lot in fact right now I'm looking at a drawing I did about three years ago before reach came out of the reach sniper that I saw in game informer it only takes up 6 pieces of paper...
This is a neat idea as a lot of people who forge actually end up having many things in common. I for one enjoy doing alot of designing in terms of photoshop and do a good amount of sketching as an artist. I am currently working on getting a degree in engineering and so building things is a big part of my professional and recreational life. I did alot of sports in high school. Soccer, cross country, track, and crew. Was most involved in crew where our team went on to place third at nationals so that has actually been a big part of my life. In college now though I can only work out and am not on any team which is too bad but I do my best to stay in shape. Been with forgehub for a while and its nice to get to know you all better
I am into web design and such. I'm building sites for local businesses this summer, and MAKING BANK. I also mosh. A lot. I'm actually surprised that I'm not in a vegetative state, lol. Finally, I am a photographer, outdoorsman, musician, and a unicyclist.
Graphic designer, innovator, educator, mathimetician, fitness nut, MMA fighter, poet, writer, Level designer (I always do in my free time) and conservationist. I am also an artist and I sometimes do portaits but I haven't done much recently. Ever since the beginning of halo I have always wanted a map editor to manipulate maps, to this day I still forge maps and have been since the release of foundry on halo 3. I also a bit of a philospher and theorist when I am with some of my friends with our outrageous 5-6 hour long conversations. Not much more than that, but I beleive myself to be multi-talented. The only thing I truly blow balls at is grammar, so excuse me if I spelled something wrong.
I'm a knuckle-dragging meathead former Marine. Currently I'm a full time student (only because I get paid to go to school) studying business management (ie: doing **** all as it is). I'm a raging alcoholic, self absorbed egotist, narcissist and general miscreant. I spend hours each day at the gym and obsess over fitness and how my body looks. I also double as a part time physical trainer on occasion. I study game and map design in my spare time. I'm a bit obsessive with everything I do, so this is a good hobby to keep me away from excessive drinking and drug abuse.
Well about me: I'm a singer/song-writer for a start, I play violin, guitar and a qwerty keyboard . I love PR and marketing side of business, this came as a result of a work placement at a graphics design company. Also at one point in my life I loved to right short stories myself. However now I am an inthusiastic photographer, designer and architect. Oh I also used to build, design and sell websites like these for fun with a friend. Ended quite badly with a dispute over well... finances? Thats quite a bit about me I guess.
