    Huh... that title sounds so Russian, no offense intended to any Russian Bronies/Pegasisters out there. Ahem. Anywho, this is just sort of an introductory thread. The site asked if I wanted to introduce myself and I was like "Certainly! :3" But I digress: Hello, my name is Auby. I have been a Brony for about... around a year and half to two years now. I discovered the show via a commercial, I think on Cartoon Network or something. I was like mentally saying "That's some good art style there! What is this?!" Later on I saw that video on YouTube of the guy presenting how some aspects of the show can't be realistically possible in his Physics class (which is equally awesome as I have recently showed the entire first episode to a Science class at my school). Don't ask what my favourite Mare is because, quite frankly... I dunno. I love them each and all. Would be difficult to pinpoint just one. I'd probably say Rainbow Dash because of my catchphrase and hilarious theme of spouting "AMERICUH!" and such. And she seems pretty... American.

    Apart from My Little Pony, I have enjoyed a variety of things over the years: I played (and kind of still do at times) World of Warcraft. For the Alliance. I also want to play Dungeons and Dragons (the tabletop, not the video game. It sucked.) as I have all of the 3.5 books next to me (though I've heard 3.5 sucks. Meh, good reference guide.) I worship Star Wars and have done so ever since I was a small child. I treat my Star Wars Encyclopedia like it's the Bible. It is one of my top 3 things, the other two being Ponies and Berserk. Berserk is probably my all-time favourite Manga next to Hellsing. It's gripping, gory, action-packed, and very. very. very deppressing. Hellsing I enjoy because of my love for Trenchcoats, hats, and dual-wielding big pistols. Plus it's just... awesome. XD Some other Animes I have seen/Mangas I read are: Chobits, Fruits Basket, Samurai Champloo, Highschool of the Dead, Naruto (And Naruto Shippuden though I don't actively read them much anymore since they've, well... I dunno anymore.), Bleach (same with Bleach), Soul Eater, and various others.

    I have a regular X Box, X Box 360 Slim, and a Wii in my sister's old room. Oh, and 3 Playstation 1's and a Sega Genesis that lacks a cord. I want to get: Mortal Kombat Armageddon for the regular X Box, the recent 2011 Mortal Kombat game, that cord for the Sega Genesis, and Star Wars: The Old Republic. Those are my "Ultimate Want" things as of recent. -sips soda- I've got all 3 Halos and Reach (even the Halo 3 maps), Saints Row 2, Assassin's Creed Revelations, Left 4 Dead 2, Aliens vs Predator, etc. I tend to favour fighting games nowadays. Right now, my biggest one is Blazblue: Continuum Shift (which lacks Nu-13 ;_;). A video of me and my cousin playing it can be found on YouTube, just ask for the link. Pretty funny.

    I am quite keen on Comic Books. X-Men, Avengers, Spider-Man, Justice League, Spawn... Favourite Marvel villains: Galactus, Carnage, Sabertooth, Juggernaut, Apocalypse, and Bullseye. Favourite DC villains: Deathstroke, Darkseid, Brainiac, and the Joker.

    I am a bit of a Mortal Kombat and Matrix nerd. (Like I should've said above, I am a nerd who is into almost everything.) I have studied both of those like an all A student. Same with Aliens vs Predator. I can tell you how a Facehugger plants the Xenomorph embryo into a human being, allowing it to extract DNA from the host to gestate and form within the chest cavity. Also, before I get sidetracked: Favourite two MK characters are Noob Saibot and Sub-Zero.

    Welp... that was one hell of an intro. Just wanted to give ya'll some knowledge of myself. Glad to meet you all, glad to be apart of this forum and hope we can enjoy this community the way it was meant to be enjoyed. :3

    Wow, you're quite interesting. Welcome to EP! Let's see if I can respond to most of what you said. :p

    I've never really gotten into World of Warcraft or DnD, I guess because you have to dedicate some time to it. I don't have the patience.

    Another Star Wars fan? Great! Who's your favorite Jedi? Mine's Plo Koon, but unfortunately most people tend to forget about him.

    I've never been big into anime or manga, although I must admit I'm a Naruto fan. I know it's not on the level of other great mangas, but I like it. Shikamaru is my absolute favorite.

    No PS3? Awww....I tend to be terrible at fighting games. I have played Mortal Kombat and have found out that Kabal is amazing!

    Comic Books? I don't read them, but I love learning about the characters and the universes, mainly from animated shows. My favorite Marvel villian is either Electro, Loki, or Venom and my favorite DC villian is Clarion, especially in the Young Justice show.

    Well, I think I responded well enough. Enjoy your stay here!!

    @Zephyr Haste - I hope to meet this person then. :3 And thanks! ^^ Nice to meet you too and glad to be here!

    @Zephyr Wind - Thanks! And yeah, I tend to get impatient with WoW at times too. My favourite Jedi would have to be... Mace Windu, Qui-Gon Jinn, or Quinlan Vos (hope I spelled his name right). XD Yeah, Shikamaru is pretty cool. I like his tactical genius side. And my stepdad made me choose between my PS3 or my 360 back in the day because we had to share consoles and he wanted one downstairs. I chose the 360 because I had more games for it+the PS3 had Blu Ray and it would've looked good on the Plasma screen. And yes, Kabal is quite awesome. He looks and sounds especially epic in the new one. X3 Nice to meet you, by the way!

    Welcome to the EP forums! Enjoy your stay and have fun! And remember to praise Rarity! You've been talking to the wrong people. D&D 3.5 is the best of them, I avoid 4th Edition like the plague.

    I finally remembered the other tabletop Role Playing that is in the spirit of 3.5 - Pathfinder. Check it out, might be a good alternative if they aren't using 3.5.

    @Dragonbait - I've recently learned that what I have is 4, not 3.5 D: But oh well. It's a reference guide.

    @legionbrony - Hallooo! :D
