Oh, I totally missed the "Why did you join" thing.

Why did you join the DL?
I used to run an anime tournament and an RPG tournament on 1up.com back in the good old days. During season two, I was browsing Google to collect pictures of the competitors. A picture of Reno from FF7 linked to his profile on the DL, so I poked around a bit and liked what I saw. That was in 2005 and I've been here off-and-on since then. Of course, with the main tournament on hiatus, I don't have much of a reason to visit this place anymore. I mostly just pop in every now and then so the other DL denizens can bask in my greatness for a few fleeting moments. I am such a nice guy.

There is a distinct lack of correct usage of ;'s in your post I find this most amusing given your dislikes hahah.

Hohoho thought that read Sega, Cooking RPGs(cooking mama fan games go!), et al.

YOU DISLIKE BACON WHAT IS THIS, THE BACON KING WILL NOT BE PLEASED TO HEAR THIS.

"Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college."
~Kurt Vonnegut

YOU DISLIKE BACON WHAT IS THIS, THE BACON KING WILL NOT BE PLEASED TO HEAR THIS.

And this is why you hate Jewish people?

No most jewish people love bacon, they just don't eat it. There is a STARK DIFFERENCE hahah.
I speak from experience of asking those of the jewish faith.(LITERALLY DOZENS,and as we all know thanks to SCIENCE a small sample done with the maths right = the proper average for the entirety.)




To the other fellow: But semicolon's are SO PRETTY. Creative writing is for story tellers! I learned about semicolons in 5th Grade! where I learned my 4000 word vocabulary and stuff. I just CHOOSE to ignore what I learned ;) (also <- the most important use of a semicolon right thar).

[Anthony Edward Stark]

Suddenly I regret all the sex I had with your mother.

[Cotigo]

Just because her son's a cunt doesn't mean the woman didn't need the lovin'.

[Anthony Edward Stark]

Just because her son's a cunt doesn't mean the woman didn't need the lovin'.

Unprotected sex is awesome so I might be Soppy's dad. Hence my sudden onset of regret.

[Cotigo]

You really think your genes could produce such a sniveling shit?  You gotta think better of yourself, bro.

[Hunter Sopko]

Rob: Still probably a step up from the current situation.

Zenny: Mukade harder, bro.

[Cotigo]

My mukade's already hard, curled up, and ready to crawl in you <3

[Hunter Sopko]

Sorry. As you already noted, I'm too shallow for you.

[Cotigo]

Hey baby we all said some things you regret but that ain't no reason to be so cooooooooooooold ~
