Tell me a wee bit about yourselves

Burnt Iron King··14 votes·5,150 views

Frequenting these boards I've come to feel that most people don't seem to realize that behind the fancy usernames, snarky remarks, memes and sarcasm normal people like you and me lie.

So, I'd like to simply chat a bit with you all, getting to know snippets of yourself and just having some fun banter^^

So yeah, I'm Jay, A biology student in his first semester, an avid Lol gamer, karate and fishing being some of my hobbies besides playing Sion non stop^^

My name is William. I grew up in Western Philadelphia, where I spent my most of my days on the playground playing basketball. Unfortunately, there was trouble in my neighborhood from a couple of guys that were up to no good. After I got in a fight with them (just one little fight), by mom became afraid for my safety and sent me to live with my aunt and uncle. My life isn't all bad though, my Uncle has a mansion in Bel-Air, and I live like a prince there. It is pretty fresh. http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii633/TallyBean18/GIF/truestory.gif

She was part of the inspiration.

I wanted Happily Insane, but it was taken, wanted Excitedly Insane, then misspelt the first word.

Real name's Chris. Nice to post alongside you, Will.

My name is Andy, a lifelong gamer, husband for 10+ years, father of two amazing 8-year-old boys and humbled that I've been fortunate enough to love what I do for a living. I'm a firm believer that if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.

I main jungle and support, mostly playing Morgana and trying like hell to figure out who I should play in Jungle next season, so suggestions are most welcomed!

(Thanks for making this post!)

#Rengo

Marksmen are strong, Rengar deletes them. Also item 3142 is pretty core, and item 3134 is sort of a pseudo jungle item, makes his clears faster and lets him skip the high cost of enchanted jungle item.

My name is Peter. I was in the US Air Force working as a radio technician for 5 years before leaving in February. I've lived in Missouri, Texas, Mississippi, Nebraska, England, and finally have settled in Florida. My hobbies are running, biking, sailing, and video games. I'm a jungle main and love playing Diana, Mordekaiser, and Quinn. And I'm super glad to see a thread like this, since I love humanizing others as much as possible so that we can care about and better understand each other.

Whats it like in the Air Force? I'm talking to a recruiter and was going to join in a few months after I finish my senior year!

ltmetal1 votes

It's simultaneously the worst job of your life and the best job of your life. Sounds contradictory, right? Well, you often work 60 hours a week, but it's very rewarding and fulfilling. Your boss will constantly take you to task and isn't afraid to chew you out, but they will always make sacrifices to help you. You will be introduced to the best people in the world, only to have them taken away from you 6-18 months later. You will never have as high of expectations set on you anywhere else, but you will rarely face those expectations alone. Finally, I will leave you with three things I wish I had known/done before I joined.

  1. Work some different job before joining so that you have a realistic perspective of the world outside the military. You forget what it's like to be a civilian after a few years of being on the other side.

  2. If you look at your contract, and it doesn't say EXACTLY what job you are going to have, then it doesn't matter what your recruiter told you, you have no way of knowing what job you will get. In general, don't let your recruiter rush you into any decisions.

  3. If you haven't heard the term, "It's a one mistake Air Force," you will soon. What this means is that for the next 6-12 years (which is approximately 1-2 terms of enlistment), the Air Force is trying very hard to cut people. That means if you make one mistake, it often leads to you getting kicked out. Fail a Physical Training test? Create an image of yourself that your boss thinks is unprofessional? Get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time? Get rated "average" or "below average" on your job performance? I've seen outstanding Airmen get kicked out for all of these things (and basically, the third one is what happened to me). It gets even easier to cut you if you become a commissioned officer, since the only reason required to kick you out is a "lack of confidence in your ability to lead." I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just trying to teach you the only way I've found to combat this. You have to find someone in your chain of command willing to stake their career on you.

If you're getting into MTG, just remember the cardinal rule:

I can tell a Magic The Gathering player from a mile off. Hand them some cards, and if they compulsively reshuffle every 10 seconds or so, they play/ed MtG.

Flipping cards?

When we're playing EDH we flip more than cards ;)

Or they're someone like me that use to play amateur poker (no money on the line) and other varies playing card games.

Anyways. My name is fairly common, so I have no problem with sharing it. It's Matthew. I'm a 22 year old that's currently a student at a local community college. Being as I'm seeking a 3D animation degree, I'll be planning to transfer to a state university eventually. You'd never guess I'm 22 just by looking at me, which is interesting.

I use to be a competitive swimmer. However, because of a pelvic injury when I was much younger, I was unable to get very far in that line of life. Which is sad, as I greatly enjoyed swimming.

Started playing League way back when Maokai was, literally, the newest champion around (or early 2011, for those that don't know). Started out playing with Ezreal. Because of a mentality of " Gotta play relatable characters". After Ezreal, no other champion really shocked interests in me. At least, till Riven was released. Built a rune page and all for her... then Fiora was released. Favored Fiora so greatly, that I can still say that I main Fiora even after the rework.

Now, with that out of the way. I started playing video games with the very first game in the Moto Racer series. It was great. But I didn't really find much interest in video games beyond that, until I was able to play the demo version of Age of Empires on some disc (don't recall what it was). Loved the demo so much, that I just had to have the first Age of Empires game. So, one of my sisters bought it as a gift on my 10th birthday. Loved it, but still wasn't that engrossed with video games... until I was able to play a certain FPS that went by the name "Halo: Combat Evolved". That's when I started to actually love video games. Sadly, I wasn't ever able to play the second Halo, and when I was unable to play the first halo, my love started to fade. At least, till I got my hands on Age of Empires 2. That game is by far my favorite game of all time (Yes, I'm aware that's an HD edition. Bought it on day one).

Now, lastly. How'd I get into League. Watched a Youtuber (SSoHPKC) play a bit of it, eventually got interested in trying it out. It stuck. That's about it.

I'm Cat, former student of mathematics education (curse you politics ruining my career path). I enjoy league, martial arts (!!!), and drawing. I currently work as a barista (human coffee machine), but I don't like coffee!

Hi my name is Émile. I'm 24 y.o. i live in montreal, Canada. I'm recruiter and trainer for a telemarketing center for a residential grosser. Im saving up to pay for university since i wanna be a teacher one day. I play league every day for at least 2-3 hours. I practiced speedcubing for 8 years prior to that and hold a personal record of 11.59 seconds for a classic 3x3 rubik's cube.

Name's Paul. I'm 17(18 next month) and in my senior year of high school. I work as a Call Center Interviewer at MaritzCX for now. Hobbies are gaming and archery. I haven't played League lately due to limited time now but I still love playing Cho'Gath. My favorite superhero is Green Lantern. I live in Maumee, Ohio(Go Bucks! O-H-I-O!

Name's Alex. 22 years old and an almost graduated uni student. Psychology major and Spanish minor. First played League of Legends (my first MOBA) two years ago after all my co-workers and Korean friends wouldn't shut up about it. Been addicted ever since, but my addiction has been tempered by Bloodborne and Fallout 4. Bot lane and jungle are my strongest roles, and I main Gangplank and Miss Fortune, but play a variety of champions and roles to keep things fresh.

Outside of League and other vidya games and dank memes, I enjoy Anime, Manga, comic books, and hanging out with my friends on campus. I'm also a huge fan of EDM (DJ Sona is my Waifu).

I'm currently on unpaid leave on my job and am hoping to save up my money again, and by save up my money I mean dumping my paycheck into RP for those damn awesome skins Riot keeps releasing.

Hello Jay, I'm Josh! I'm 24 and currently a P2 in an accelerated 3 year Pharm. D. program. This past summer I went on rotations and got to counsel patients, so that was cool. I graduated college with a B.S. in medicinal chemistry. Some of my hobbies in undergrad including playing for the college football team and joining the equestrian club (sigh, I had so much more free time back then). I like to do anything that involves physical activity, such as sports or even just jogging. I haven't played League too long, but I'm already hooked on it (mostly because being a broke student means I can't buy an Xbox One). I am a huge fan of Taylor Swift and MGK. I've been living with my amazing girlfriend of 4 1/2 years for over a year now. Other than that, my life basically consists of studying (when I'm not procrastinating by playing on the League boards). Maybe we can play some time!

My name is Chloe and I'm a senior in high school. I train and ride horses, I'm an avid reader/writer, and I've been obsessed with league ever since I joined a little over a year ago. I main Jinx, Diana, and Soraka. I always mismatch my socks on purpose every morning and I don't wear any shoes when I drive. I also love to drive with the windows rolled down, even if it's raining (unless it's like pouring, lmao).

My name is Colin. I grew up in Northern Georgia. When I was little, I was an avid gamer starting at the age of 3 when my big brother gave me a controller. Since then, Ive tried to beta test and try out as many games as I can, but lately I have been attracted to the MMO and MOBA genre. Right now, I develop video games myself and have a private MOBA that me and a batch of friends have made to play on local servers. We enjoy creating characters for the game. I play a Destro Warlock in WoW and have a Brewmaster and Shadow Priest alt. I main Bard, but have a large cast of people I can play including Veigar, Rumble, Tahm Kench, and Rammus.

As a hobby, I play card games on occasion such as MtG, Hearthstone, and a few others such as Vanguard.
