Introduce Yourself!

Ok then:

I throw some greetings and welcomes into your direction. Nice to have you around.

Sci-fi, horror, and crime fiction are all awesome. At the moment I am deeply involved in gathering book-titles covering stories ablut multi-generation starships. That is pretty interesting and amazing. Chess is cool, too, but I never got real warm with it - maybe, because none of my friends is interested in it, thus there is no opportunity to stay focussed. And online-gaming ... Nah, didn't like it. I need to feel the chesspieces in my hand.

Am looking forward to reading more from you. Best wishes to Denmark!

All the best!
Liam

Hi Liam,

*Catches the welcomes and greetings* Thanks, just what I needed for my greeting collection. :D Didn't have any from you until now.
Most of the people I play chess against don't live anyewhere near me, so I'm almost always doing it online... Though I'm moving the pieces on a physical board while playing, after some moves it gets a bit hard to remember where all the pieces are placed.

And you surely will hear more from me - at least I hope so. :D

Hi Stormy,

velkommen til WA forum. Det er rart, at du er med os! :)

Welcome Storm. I was going to ask how online gaming is for the blind. With all the visual cues in most games, I wonder which ones (other than chess) you typically play.

I'm a huge sci-fi and fantasy reader. Haven't gotten much into the horror genre mainly because there is so much in the other areas to read right now. What books can you recommend?

Hope to see you around the forums some more.....

You hear that Kc? I'm not the only one that thinks the board is "special"... and I'm pretty sure he means short-bus special, too.

Oh and also, welcome aboard.

@YetAnotherBloodyCheek:
Mange tak - især for en hilsen på dansk. :)
Thanks a lot - especially for a greeting in danish.

@scbubba:
The game I'm playing most of my time - ATM - is an audio game called Swamp, which is a zombie FPS. :D

I've also just completed a game book from http://www.chooseyourstory.com/ called 'Dead Man Walking' - again in the zombie genre. :D

Regarding books in the horror genre, I can recommend H.P. Lovecraft, even though his language might be a little old at times. He's great! Haven't read that much by him yet, but I really liked both 'The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward' and 'The Shadow Out Of Time'.

@Osiris:
Heh, I meant "special" like in "confusing to work with using a screen reader". I've only seen this kind of forum on one other site, though, I don't post anything on there, though, so this is the first time I'm playing with this wonderful layout - or what ever to call it.
I must say though, that I learn more and more all the time, so I think I can actually get used to this. Besides that, I've heard from other blindies that it shouldn't be that inaccessible after all, so... Let's hope they're right. :D
Oh, and thanks for the welcome!

..........

Lol, just spent several minutes to search for the link/button to press to reply... Then I realised that I wasn't even logged in... *Shakes head and smiles*

Hello to the world of the Apocalypse and the Living and Living Dead that inhabit it. I've been a horror fan for a seriously long time (too long?) and Zombies have played a major role in that bit of fun. I happen to be one of those that were into the idea before they were......"cool"?....yeah I guess Zed is cool now. After I ran out of movies to watch I picked up every book I could find, starting with WWZ. And then a fellow Z nut at work led me here. Old school radio broadcasts (podcast), how freaking ass cool is that. As far as that goes (We're Alive, podcast) I guess you can call me a "newbie". Looking forward to experiencing end of the Zombie culture.

Anyhow............here's to the Living Dead and living with them! Right before the head shot that is........:rolleyes:

Hi, I'm new...to the site, to the story, to the neighborhood. I'm a friend of yarri's. :D

Welcome to the WA universe, Solstice! Sounds like you've covered a lot of ground in the Zombie and post-apoc genre. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the WA story. Check out the Episode Discussion and Theories threads and jump right in...

See you, around!
