Be Right Back, Uninstalling

Hmmm... Maybe it's time I wrote an introduction, considering I am the original member of these forums.  :

So yeah. Hi everyone! If it isn't plainly obvious, my name is Scott, but people generally call me Scotty or Scotty G (as my last name begins with a G). In case anybody is curious about the handle: I used ScottyG as a handle for a bit, but kept running into problems of other people having the same handle. When I was signing up for my XBL account I tried to think of a cool word that started with G, and picked Grayskull since... well... He Man is cool.

As for me, I've been gaming for a good 20 years. Started with the NES and SMB/Duck Hunt and SMB 2, then after countless games moved onto the SNES. Dabbled a bit in PC gaming with the Sierra Quest and Leisure Suit Larry games around that time, but never really got into it until DOOM came out. I played the absolute shit out of the shareware version (could beat it on Ultimate Violence just using my fists ^_^), and eventually picked up both Ultimate DOOM and DOOM 2. Had plenty of late nights as a kid playing on dial up with my friends. Pretty much skipped the N64/PSX generation, which is probably why I'm not blindly devoted to games from that time like some people are. There's no nostalgia value for me, and imo games have come since that have done it just as well if not better and didn't look like complete shit in the process. I stuck with PC gaming pretty much until I got a Gamecube in 2003-ish, and pretty much give equal time to both PC and consoles now.

As for types of games, I mostly like platformers and fps/tps games. I've tried to get into rpgs and strategy games, but for the most part just like my games nice and simple without too much micro-management. This is probably why I like more balls to the wall action fps games like Serious Sam, DOOM, or TF2 rather than 'thinking man' shooters like Deus Ex or the Rainbow Six games. Although I'm willing to give any game a go if it looks fun.

Aside from games... Hmmm... I assume that any of you who has seen enough of me on the forums, irc or game servers have figured out I'm pretty much just an oddball who has little shame. If I can bring the lolz, I likely will. Strangely enough this behaviour doesn't translate to the real world very well... Aside from games I do Taekwon Do, and while I don't follow any sport I'll gladly play just about any if given the chance. Used to draw quite well, but haven't really given that a go in years.

As for how I got to be involved with BRB, U... I played on Caff's TF2 server (now known as #1) shortly after he started it late last year, back when it was part of the Destructoid Friday Night Fights lineup. It started getting more and more into custom maps which Caff needed a place to host, so I offered up some of my hosted space. Shortly afterward he convinced me to install a forum on my server so the regulars could keep in touch outside of Destructoid, and thus these forums were born. At first it was just known as the "Unofficial Destructoid TF2 Forum" hosted at tf2.scottygrayskull.com, but as we started to grow requests for an official name grew as well. As many good ideas begin, we left it up to the masses to decide on a name. Thankfully they pulled through and www.brbuninstalling.com was unleashed onto the world (much <3 to Versus for the domain registration).

Ummmm... So yeah. That's-a-me!

To help protect Budr's "delicate sensibilities", this section has been removed. :'(

Who?

yeah, violate your own TOS scotty, violate it all night long.

So you're admitting you actually own books filled with naked black men dick pics?  :-\

ScottyG needs to be ScottyG'd  ;D

It's filled with lots of other things. The museum is pretty much a history of pornography and erotica from thousands of years ago up to today. A whole gallery on Marylin Monroe for instance, which was pretty cool. Definitely worth visiting.

...

But I suppose you meant that to be an insult, so I guess I'll just reply with a "Fuck you!". Happy?

hello internets

Ha! Penis.

Also, that whole thing read in your voice, which is weird... it didn't even contain the word "car".

scotty g scottyg'd himself?

Are we supposed to know you?

Nice Dick

Welcome,

How do you like NB?

Did you decide yet on a moped versus roller-blades? Did Surf's poll influence your decision?

Have you ever hacked or DDoS'ed someone? Papasmurf?

If you and Insomnia (ND) had a code-off, what would you pick for your home-code-turf advantage?

I've noticed that sometimes rude comments and jokes or NSFW pictures disappear, and sometimes they stay up.  How do you make the decision as to what goes and what stays? What guides your thinking? Is it easy for you to do, or does it sometimes feel like a burden acting like the only grownup?

Also, He-man was a fag.

If only for not even once getting his end away with Evil Lyn.



Seriously, she would get it all night long.

Eh, it's nice enough, but there's definitely issues. Most jobs here are seasonal with unemployment or at call centres, it costs way too much to go anywhere because it's small and far away, And the rest of the country pretty much ignores us.

Quote:Did you decide yet on a moped versus roller-blades? Did Surf's poll influence your decision?

I already had roller blades, and would only consider getting a moped if my car died. And no it didn't.

Quote:Have you ever hacked or DDoS'ed someone? Papasmurf?

Nope. :-\

Java, just because that's what I've worked the most with by far.

Quote:I've noticed that sometimes rude comments and jokes or NSFW pictures disappear, and sometimes they stay up.  How do you make the decision as to what goes and what stays? What guides your thinking?

If I do edit/remove anything, I generally try to post that I did it and why. If there is nothing, it might have been one of the other admins. Generally if I think it's  I'll let things that may be pushing it slide to see if they die down. I'll try to give some sort of warning about it just so they know they should cut it out. If they keep going or get worse then I do something about it. For deciding what stays and what goes, it's more a personal preference... if I figure it isn't appropriate in one way or another than it probably isn't. Of course that isn't a firm guideline, which is why I give warnings first.

Look... Just because you idolized She-Ra...

Rummy does not spend enough time in IRC. Scotty's like NSFW personified.

I guess this answers my question about if you had to choose between looking like a flaming douche or a hipster indy schmuck.....

Google image results for "flaming douche" are quite disappointing.

The people are demanding cock shots.

Voiceover voice:
Indeed. Since we last let this thread die FOUR FUCKING MONTHS ago, the people have been demanding to know what was the result of Scotty's the Canadian's commuting conundrum.

In a world gone mad, the people who have demanded flaming cock shots have their answer.

                                 

Oh, I like that. Scotty is teh hawt.
