Heya all :(

Thought I would finally pop in and say hi.

My name's DeZ or some people like to call me Brutus. I'm 57 and I live in Edinburgh. I'm a City of Edinburgh Council Environmental Engineer and enjoy my job greatly. Been doing this line of work for about 20 years now and still loving it :)

In my spare time I like to jam on the Harmonica and Kazoo. Love the sound they produce :) Also I like to play sports such as Shinty and Darts.

I've been a fan of NiGHTS for a while now. Since the pre-release in the game back in '96? The game I find rather refreshing and entertaining. A change of pace from the usual console variety. Been hearing things about the sequel on the Wii and it kinda renewed my interest. Only other games I had any real interest in were Blam Machinehead and Battle Arena Toshinden ("Diddly Ray!" :D) so it's nice to rekindle my love for one of the true great games that has brought me joy in my later life :)

Stay safe kids :)

Why yes I do :) been playing for a long time now. Played for Kingnussie in my hayday :( nasty injury meant I had to give it up though. Used to have huge crowds of 200-300 spurring us on :) Still play for fun from time to time though.

Oh great master of shinty, can you spare me some advice?

I end up losing on those tricky matches and letting my team down. Then i have to buy the beers for the villagers :(

Also! Battle Arena Toshinden? WOW you know quality gaming sir!

Have you ever played such classics as Time Stalkers or Tech Romancer?

Hehe. It's a tough old game. Used to practise for hours on end every day just so I didn't let the guys down lol. "The Kingnussie Cannon". Going back a bit now...

Actually I have played those games. I liked them a lot :( Still got my copies and wouldn't part with them for anything. I still sometimes boot up the old Dramcost? and have a whirl on G-Kaiser :) Timestalkers was also a great game. The main character, Sword I think, had a lot of class and the characters were well thought out. The story was highly entertaining.

Hi Meggiemaccat :( Thanks for the warm welcome. Guess I am getting on a bit lol but only as old as you feel I say.

Dreamcast that's it. I was close hehe. Not many games really take my fancy but those few you mentioned I had hours of fun with :)

My avatar? Some say I look like this hehe. I think they are joking :)

Hello Dili. You liked Toshinden too? I'm not married btw :) that an offer hehe!

Er... ....... .... .. i was asking if you were married because i doubt you would be if you're playing sh!t like Tonshinden.

...and NOW you're hitting on me and my fiancee. I don't like that, sir.
By the way, it's spelt 'DiGi', grandad.

I'll even make a platformer of it, where we battle the evil Barber King and save Princess Eyebrow from various different castles.

Good on you hehe. We have competitions in my area. I never really compete. Some very impressive facial hair though. They even have a woman and child category. Under 16 that is.

We don't really do the traditional dances. We have started learning some Freestyle dancing I think it's called. Some of the younger ones can do some amazing acrobatics! I'm a bit more reserved lol. not quite as fit as I used to be.

Yes thank you :( I live in the Granton area. Some very nice people here. I'm here most of the time but travel back up north to visit my family when I can.

I'm not that old btw. I'm still very fit and active.

Hehe. Hi Jof. Sorry I missed your post. Of course we can hehe. A full beard is a sign of masculinity.

I beg your pardon? Are you making fun of my musical tastes now? I've just about had enough of your disgusting, snide comments. I have nothin to say to you. You are an ass. I do not wish to converse with you anymore.

God, and I thought I was being rude. Oo' Um... DiGi, I know you're probably not one to give respect to people just because they're over twenty years older than you, and I know you feel a little defensive, and I KNOW I have no real right to split this up since I don't know any of you and all, but please take a breather, calm down a little, and voice your concerns in a calmer manner. ^^; *gets ready to get her butt kicked*

EDIT: *refreshed the page before she posted and saw that DiGi's gotten off at least this thread* ..... My advice still stands, so I won't change the post. ^^; *hopes to god she doesn't get on tomorrow to find herself banned or anything*

Anyway, in regards to the 'getting on' thing several posts up, I apologize if I make ya feel old; I just think you're old for a NiGHTS fan, and I appreciate that there're people like you out there. ^^; *bows again*

Thanks you for your insight and kind words :( He was being rather rude and I only came here to make new friends and share experiences with people that have something in common. Don't worry about the old comments. I'm young at heart hehe.

You're welcome. I think (well, more hope; as I've said, I don't know any of these people well) he just feels a little defensive of TRiPPY after that entire 'I'm available *winkwink*' joke. I do hope he calms down and warms up to you, or at least doesn't hold it against you.

EDIT: Not that I'm saying it's your fault; you don't know how sensitive someone can be about that kind of comment until you make it.

ANOTHER EDIT: *makes this edit just in case she's misunderstood* I don't think this is DiGi's fault, either. It's like... you buy a shiny new car, you know it won't slip off a cliff if you drive it through the mountainsides, but you don't want to take that small chance because you care so much about that car. *smacks self before she goes off on a psychological tangent, which she's probably already needlessly done*

Hi : )

It's always good to meet you : )

I too like yourself and padawan Jof follow the ways of the Beardy side <g>

All this talk of beards has got me with an image of NiGHTS and Reala with beards and claymores (the sword, not the mine...)
