G'day folks,

My name is God, you can call me Row. I'm quite an avid RPG player, having played Runescape since 2002 and I recently bought WoW.

Hmm probably the most interesting point I feel like divulging at the moment is how I came across this site.

It all happened tonight when I was looking up the band Depeche Mode in google and from their I clicked onto Wikipedia to read about them. After I did that I found myself at the bottom of the page and I saw a link '1972* births' for people who were born on that date. I clicked on that and found myself looking at a massive list of names. I clicked one, at random, and I found myself looking at the profile of a man who creates games. The same man who is developing this game in fact! So I then clicked onto the 'Alganon' link and it took me here. And to cut a long story short I am now a part of this forum and I look forward to beta testing the game!

Thanks,


Row aka God.


*I have forgotten which date it was exactly, hopefully I'm close!

Hm.. God quite the powerful name.

But your story does prove that the universe is one big strange coincidence.

I also present you with an XKCD very relevant you your story, http://www.xkcd.com/214/

Anyways, welcome to the forum, enjoy your stay. We are pretty laid back here.

Obviously I shouldn't post links to comics anymore because this community is too ADD to stay focused afterwards XD

Especially XKCD comics - I can't even see that URL without immediately looking up my favorite one - and every time it takes me like 30 minutes to find it. ( http://xkcd.com/327/ )

That's a great one! I recently found this online comic, called Arbuckle. It's Garfield without all the thought balloons over the cat's head. It's a very different read when you realize that John Arbuckle can't hear his cat's thoughts anyways.

In 1978, Jim Davis began a newspaper comic strip called "Garfield". For almost thirty years, this strip has endured, primarily because its inoffensive, storyless humour is immediately accessible. It is, if not quite the Lowest Common Denominator of the comic world, at least as close to it as one can get without being obviously mediocre.

The comic changes dramatically when one removes the thought bubbles.

"Garfield" changes from being a comic about a sassy, corpulent feline, and becomes a compelling picture of a lonely, pathetic, delusional man who talks to his pets. Consider that Jon, according to Garfield canon, cannot hear his cat's thoughts. This is the world as he sees it. This is his story.

It's a strange retrospect.

Huh, thats rather interesting. I would never think of Garfield in that light.
But ahh we are to distracted. This is why we can't post nice things. XD
