For example, anime and roleplaying and making stories, etc based off of the animes and shows I like helped me in a lot of different ways. As a teenager it gave me a sense of security and also an adventurous place I could escape from the problems in my reality. Also if it wasn't for liking my hobbies I would have never met my true love (we've been together for 5 years now), and RPing helped me grow my vocabulary and improve my grammar and such. I also had a cool little fix-it project myself, though it was cleaning out my NES. I learned how to disessemble my NES console, remove, clean and replace the 72 pin connector. I think we could be good friends.
That is amazing. Must have been cool to see the innards of you NES. I'm always amazed when people can do complicated computer projects. I enjoy woodworking and welding a lot. I can also sew (Too many pairs of ripped pants as a kid encouraged Grandma to teach me haha.)
If you click my sig you will find I do my own photocomics or skits with my figures. I wouldn't mind role playing now and then. A friend of mine said that I do a decent Wheeljack impression in our text chats.
I had a feeling we would get along.
Very cool. Yah...unfortunately that NES died a few years ago. I bought some cheap games for it from a Goodwill store ( R.C Pro Am, Donkey Kong Classic, and Top Gun) thinking I found a great deal. I cleaned all the games with alcohol and q tips, but when I tried out Donkey Kong it didn't work and the next thing you know...the screen only displayed the color orange. I tried cleaning the contacts again and the 72 pin...nothing. I killed my baby. It was a disaster.
Recently, only a few weeks ago I bought another NES from my favorite used media store. I was super excited. Also picked up a copy of Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest) and got home and turned it on....flashing power light, no picture. So...opened this NES and saw this one went through Hell. There was mold on the shielding and sticky coffee or soda. Soda can kill electronics. For the sake of hope I still took it apart1and cleaned the 72 pin connector. The motherboard was discolored and sticky. I cleaned it best I could without trying to destroy it. Then after that, the controller ports didn't work. We cleaned that...B button was the only one that worked. The system at that point needed completely new parts. I returned it the next day and told them it was broken. I was depressed. I'm going to try getting a top loader NES next, hopefully modded for AV or HDMI output because all it usually has is RF.
Besides RPing, gaming,and collecting games, figures, and plushies, I also like reading,drawing, and painting even though I don't do much art nowadays (but I have project ideas). I'm thinking of modding the colors on my Optimus Prime TF5 premier leader class to make it more movie accurate.
I intend to join the RP they have here at some point. Until then if you want sometime, hit me up for casual RP.
