So I figured that I didn't really know a lot of the users on here very well yet, and I'm sure there are other people in the same boat.

So in this thread, post five facts about yourself so that we can all get to know each other a little better :)

1. I really love Chinese food, so much that I'm pretty damned good at cooking it fresh from scratch
2. I'm currently playing Skyrim, the Ratchet & Clank HD Trilogy, and Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
3. I have a BA Hons in English Literature
4. I love socks. Fluffy socks, stripey socks, socks are awesome.
5. We have a bunny rabbit called Rory.

1) I don't really play any video games. I've always sucked at any other game in my life except for FIFA.
2) I've lived and studied in three different countries: Philippines, Australia, USA. I'm still finishing high school in the USA.
3) Don't think this really counts but, I still have a lot of stuff over in the Philippines that I'm trying to get brought here. It includes a Wood Elf Captain, Banner Bearer and either 12 or 24 regular Wood Elves. And also a lot of old paint.
4) Some of my other hobbies/interests include playing football, the Marvel and DC Universe, watching YouTube videos (might make my own channel once I graduate), playing the saxophone, listening to music, and reading magazines like Rolling Stone, GQ, and Men's Health.
5) I aspire to be a doctor, director, or sports analyst one day.

So yeah, that's me 8)

1) I am mostly a lurker
2) I have played Miniatures games since D&D in '77
3) I have played LOTR SBG since it came out
4) My friends call me the Dark Lord due to my infinity for the forces of Goodness that reside in Mordor
5) I like to run large scale LOTR SBG scenarios - my largest was Battle of Pellenor fields with 960+ minis

Right now I am readying a Con game for Raleigh NC in October pitting Dark Dwarves and Dark Elves in the Underdark using LOTR SBG and Dwarven Forge (at Southern Front).

Wheee :D Glad this thread is a hit so far. Here's another five :P

1. One of my favourite TV shows is Fringe.
2. I'm a registered Archer for the Yorkshire Company. I really wanna get back into it, but it's quite an expensive hobby!
3. Speaking of expensive hobbies, I have no idea how I afford to collect LotR, as I buy so many shoes :D
4. I've just bought Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss to read, on recommendation from a load of nagging friends.
5. I have a Gold replica of the One Ring.

1. I only ever play LotR with Evil models. And I've been waiting years for werewolves and finally had to make my own.
2. I fairly recently became a fan of George R R Martin and Terry Brooks fantasy writings.
3. I am writing my own fantasy novel, but i'm in early days again, because I decide I didn't like the one I started when i was 13 (6 years ago) any more, so I had to start again, and I've submitted the prologue for a creative writing assignment in my first year of uni
4.I have never left the Uk, I only ever go on holidays in England and Wales
5. I am an athiest and I really like the Flying Spagetti monster analogy, which I once used as an excuse to put the phone down when we were called by a call centre.
