Welcome! Introduce yourself

er fuggit mate if only i could find the damm thing. can look for th gif if u like?

...here it is.

Spoiler:

 

i am a heron. i haev a long neck and i pick fish out of the water w/ my beak. if you dont repost this comment on 10 other pages i will fly into your kitchen tonight and make a mess of your pots and pans

Jay, where did you find that?

Googled "heron copypasta", found it right away!

To explain to anyone really confused - ages ago on NGamer we had a spambot attack and all they posted was that bloody heron text. And it's inexplicably hilarious.

...except for the bit where they posted an unpleasantly pornographic .gif as their avatar.

...oh. Forgot about that.
Who was on the mod team at that time? Was it Stu? All I remember is the heron posting in stupidly old threads.

In any case, welcome back Marzy!

Yup hi Marzy, sorBWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARKry about the weirdness!

New friends to get to know, yay! I'm liking the little energy boost you've all given the place as well.

Welcome back Marzy and welcome to the forum Darren.

In all seriousness, good to see you back Marzy. Hope you'll stick around a bit this time! If you can cope with the insanity...

Seconding this. I don't know about the rest of you, but the past couple of days on the forum have been a blast and it's likely no coincidence that it's happened with the arrival/rearrival of two new folks.

Its the members that make a forum, I sent messages to some members who I knew personally to ask them to come back. Would be good to see some familiar faces posting. Maybe I can get some new members too! We should do a recruitment drive

The more, the merrier. Part of this place's charm is that it's a relatively small but tightknit community, but swelling our numbers is always a good thing.

Yep, would be great to have some new members (especially some so buzzing with activity as yourself, Darren). Especially in this, the Year of Luigi the NX.

Incidentally, the book I'm currently writing has a main character named Darren, which makes this all a bit odd for me. Nobody's ever called you "Dazzhands", have they DarrenK? (She's also a girl.)

They have not!

I understand the small tight-knit community, which is why I thought aiming towards fans of the original NGamer magazine or ONM, etc. People from the UK too would also be nice to find. I guess using social media for people who mention the mag, or track down old members of the original forums perhaps?

We did reach out to folks who were still kicking about on the old NGamer forum, but we may have missed some. I suppose Dead Lemon's return last year is proof of that!

I'm happy to help where possible!

You bunch of bastards didn't want me. I got no invite to here, but I tracked you down in the end.

Just friends in general as we have invited a few like Muss where's he to, Drunka to come to the good ship GNamer, we don't just talk Nintendo as you see but that's the clue that holds us together.

But we are full of words and stuff.

Welcome back Marzy!

Thanks all!

Much love <3

A thousand greetings from Asgard! I am Thor... or I would have been, had that name not already been taken. Which mortal has chosen it before I, its rightful owner? I wish to... exchange pleasantries with them.

Stark has provided me with some Earth toys with which to relax after defending the Nine Realms - I have a liking for Nintendo videogames, as they feature so many hammers. Wishing to know more, I hope to make my home here.

Our very own Hammer Bro. Greetings!
