[Acinixys]

Funny how i've been here for 2 weeks and missed this thread.

Names Jonathan. 21. Started studying this year, (1st year Programming) and Im loving the hell out of it.

Hate, or rather, have feelings of disgust for idiots who cant spell or TyPe LyK TiS.

Have a deep and heartfelt love for NAG. Been an avid reader since... 2005? 2006? All i know is the my first NAG was the last NAG to ever have a CD. After that it was a DVD in the packet every month. I had to wait about 8 months to get a DVD drive, and then an entire weekend poring over my 8 months of DVD goodness.

(Just checked. It seems like my first NAG is from July 2005)

Anyway, Hi. Acinixys/Jono here to eat babies and spread joy through repression.

PS: I didnt see the terrible speller above me. Geez dude. What has the education system done to the youth of today?

[Alucard12]

Hi all you awesome people on the forums of NAG.

My name is Hendrik and I have an addiction...(Not, for a moment there it sounded like one of those rehab classes)

I am currently 19 and studying Computer Engineering and I enjoying myself in the square of Pretoria(Not really, more of a indoors behind computer kind of Guy(NERD)).

I am currently working part-time as well(Programming my life away).


Why indoors?
Cars are fast and unpredictable (one never knows when a wheel might come off), Can't live with a computer and certainly cannot live without it.

I am educated in the art of 3D modelling.

Buying NAG continuously now from 2003 January , after the NAG MaG comes out of the plastic bag and into my hands for a few days and the back in to the bag from which it came to be stored in its prime condition.

This is my introduction to the NAG forum community.

[DylanE]

[OllieTheDog]

He left

[Radnartjie]

Hello My Name is Radnarjtie , well my real name is David , but that's only applicable to the real world.. anyway Radnartjie can be described as a hidden fruit that killed newton by falling on his head and killing him. Ok hi everyone its great to be on The Forums, Ive just joined and am enjoying the NAG Forums alot :) Radnartjie also like games which involve shooting alot without a care in the world :)

[Nekuro]

Thought I'd post in this thread just as an introduction.

Very well, where do I begin...
I'm Nekuro (not my real name, obviously), and even though I'm new to this forum, I'm not new to this forum at all, as I was a pretty active member of a previous incarnation of the nag forums some years ago.
I thought I'd return to the land of nag, I've always found the community to provide many lols, and gaming/internet related distractions.
Speaking of which, why did Miktar leave? Or should I not inquire about him and ex -forumites?

[GeometriX]

This thread is for introductions only, and not discussions, so I'll just nip this in the bud right here: http://www.nag.co.za/forums/showthre...-to-the-forums. Feel free to read through that thread to get a general idea of what went down and why.

[JackB]

Hey all

I don't read the Mag but like to troll online forums for some interesting and intelligent conversations. Heard about NAG from my younger brother which is a avid reader of the NAG MAG.

Looking forward to chatting to you all.

Chrz for now...

[snoogans]

Just providing a quick intro to get past the formalities and all...

Old member, new name. Haven't been here in years, though. Let's see how it goes then.

[FuzzyDuck]

Hi There,

I am new here and thought I would introduce myself.
I am FuzzyDuck and I used to be an avid gamer.

I say used to, because lately I just hav'nt been finding the time. I have always been an advocate for PC games. Nobody could tell me otherwise - there was no way a console could be a PC. Well, recently I bought a Nintendo Wii (for the kids) and now even more recently I got a PS3 (for the wifes Afrikaans Treffers SingStar). I believe I am now a changed man.

The name FuzzyDuck comes from many many years ago - from the days of internet relay chat (IRC) - an old drinking game I have forgotten the rulz too.

A little more about myself. I am a super poster on the Audi Club website - I think I hold the record for the most average posts over a year.

I am also the owner of a company importing 3D printers. We get to play with these little toys all day long. So much fun. I am considering starting something off 3D printer Avatars and game charactors. Let me know if you think this could work.

[Southpaw]

Hi all,

Looking forward to great discussions on our most awesome hobby :)

I'm over consoles atm and in the process of getting my new beast of a machine ready, until then i'm playing torchlight on my current crappy PC.

[CyniKill]

Hey guys :)

I'm an avid PC and 360 gamer from Cape Town. Amped to meet you all ^_^

[Ark]

Why hello there!

Yea.. just another random jackass reporting in. I'm a locksmith and ex-IT guy. Yea yea, from computers to locks. Anywayz, just thought I'd announce my arrival. Now bow down to me :P kidding

[h0bd0b1in]

I don't think I've ever done an introduction on a forum before. Then again, I don't use many forums. So count yourselves lucky. I'm of that rare breed, a Mac gamer. *awaits the inevitable flaming for using a Mac* That's not why you should count yourselves lucky. I think I'm rambling. Maybe that's why I've never done one of these introduction things before. I'll bow my head in shame and leave now.

[Hein]

May I should've started here, but I'm usually to blind to spot stuff like this.

I'm just a tech junky who loves games, technology and NAG.

Pleasure to be a part of the NAG community.... finally.

See you around. :)

[DJB]

Posted in here before the server went down but the post got lost, so a quick summary.

I'm currently studying computer science/games development at UCT... Been gaming forever, have an xbox, but it died earlier today :'( to be honest, it was only a matter of time... mine was one of the first xbox models to come out and it's already survived two RROD's. Fortunately have a new gaming rig, i5, 4gb of ram and a radeon hd 6850, to keep me busy until I get the xbox either fixed or replaced.
Other interests include parkour (note not freerunning, they are different), rock climbing and reading the mag. Haven't missed an issue for the last 3 years.

Really beginning to get into the game development side of things in my degree and am currently working on a td game as an assignment.

[fleshTRNDstone]

Hmm, why didn't I notice this?

Anyway, new to the forum.
Real name's Sean, full nickname is FleshTurnedStone, name of a spell from Total Annihilation: Kingdoms.

[Sea Otter]

Sea Otter? Yep, thats me. Hey everyone, I've been a reader and fan of NAG for almost seven years now. I've been a gamer for even longer and I only just recently got ADSL, so I decided to join the community.
