Introduce yourself...

Post by Lonesamurai »

Hey guys, I'm Lonesamurai

Station owner, gamer, movie watcher and music listener

I set up the Sanitarium.FM in July 2007 after working for another internet radio station covering Guild Wars.
I wasn't keen on the set up and decided that we could run our own and make it a success

I am a long time sufferer of depression and have light Bi-Polar disorder.  Yes, that is partly why the station is called what it is :D
I plan to become an ambassador for mental health charities in the future and also would like the radio station to do the same

I'm 34 (feel 15 though) and have a little flat in England that is usually fantastic (I'm writing this in my English country garden, birds chirping and sun shining)

I play:
Guild Wars 1 & 2
World of Warcraft
Eve Online
and other MMO's

Currently addicted to SimCity
and when I have it working, I can be found on XBox live playing various games, including the Halo's and Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix :D

And now a pic of me

So tell us a bit about you guys and post us a photo if you're happy too :)

peace out!

Well..... even if there is only one person who introduced himself before me, I will take the freedom to use this thread to introduce myself as well.

Hello everyone. I am here and some of you might know me... if the name rings a bell and you don't know why you may ask via PM... if you know where you know me from, I hope you respect my wish that I decided to not tell openly for now.

Name: Chris, but most of my friends call me Ozzi
Well.. it has to do with singing, but not with the singer....basicly it's my artists-name i use on stage or on larp-events when entertaining people with my Lute and my singing.
Age: Too old.... Currently 28
Hobbys: LARP, Music, PC-Games and other stuff you all like as well

Well ... thats all for now... if you'd like to read more about me you should visit my homepage! There are plenty of pics of me and more information about stuff i do... *waves*

Regards
Ozzi

Did I really never introduce myself before now? Well, time to fix that :)

Greetings all, name's Crimsonshade.

I'm the resident Server Monkey for the Station as Lone would say; as well as the creator and maintainer of Orderlybot - the main IRC bot that handles voting, requests and keeping the #Sanitarium.FM channel updated - since 2012.
Other roles of mine include updating and maintaining the Minecraft Server, website, creating WordPress add-ons and all kinds of technical stuff ;)

I met Lonesamurai through another Forum many years ago and he introduced me to the Sanitarium.FM. Internet Radio at the time was a new concept to me; and the game-orientated focus of S.FM and the friendly nature of all its Staff and listeners quickly drew me in as a regular listener and visitor. Over the next few weeks I was regularly conversing with Lone about the Station; and although I don't remember the exact process by which I became one of its main Staff members soon after, I've never looked back since ;)

Due to a troubled birth, I was born with a form of Autism that started severe but which I've overcome over time. This makes me both quite intelligent and a fast learner, but it also makes me someone who's difficult to shut up about topics I'm passionate about; and it's also compromised my attention span.
I've actually acted as a speaker for Mental Health in Education at one point to discuss the needs of those with Mental Disabilities and what parents should do if they believe their children have one; and I have donated to several charities for both Mental and Physical health in my lifetime.
My Goal in life is to provide some way by which I can improve the lives of as many people who are in genuine need. I'd also love to travel the world so I can see what life is really like in other regions; provide help or see what help I'm providing is already achieving; and find the perfect place to settle down and live the life I dream of :)

I'm 23 at the time of this posting. I hail from England, and have an extensive English vocabulary; but I adapt my way of speaking to suit the company I'm with - hence while I may seem to use many slang terms here in the Station, I can also speak very professionally in general conversation. Sadly, I have never been able to learn a foreign language to the same competence, or at all really :(

Some of the games I currently play, though this is constantly changing:
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft
Grand Chase
Gottlieb Pinball Classics
Pokémon X
Worms Golf
Worms Revolution

I'm very much a retro-head, with my most favourite franchises being Mega Man, Mario, Crash Bandicoot, Sonic, Oddworld and many more besides. Part of this is due to my belief that processing power and graphics do not a great game make; and sometimes limitations foster greater levels of creativity. That today's videogames focus on a chase for more power and graphical splendour causes me to dislike many modern games; and is also why I don't rate the PS4 or XBox One highly. I'm also a Pinball maniac, though I always seem to be better with virtual tables than the real thing. Then again, REAL Pinball tables are hard to find around here...

I shall give it a go then...

Good morning/afternoon/evening/etc. ladies, gentlemen and people in-between. I go by the username of PredictedCyborg, but mostly people refer to me as Cyborg or Cy. Or by my real name if you know it although online I prefer Cy... unless I'm to know you irl in which case, it's your choice.
My username came from my first attempts at creating a Minecraft skin of my own, couldn't get the right shade for a mouth so I covered the nose and mouth with a metal faceplate and became... well, a cyborg in Minecraft. The 'predicted' part comes from the Kaiser Chief's song "I Predict a Riot." My Tumblr url is IPredictaCyborg and PredictedCyborg came from that. My current Minecraft skin resembles my icon in blocky form.

The role I play here at S.FM is that of DJ, blogger/article writer, Indie and Minecraft enthusiast and 'carrier of the red hammer' due to my 'identifier' when I'm at an event on Press duty (for those places that allow me to bring it). I host the Random Access Music shows twice a week and co-host the Indie Game Show with Digmbot.

I came here through a recruitment post I saw on another forum back in Sept 2013. I'm a Media Graduate although I don't really specialise in much besides writing. Working on the video editing though...

I... don't really have any proper mental conditions... at least not ones that have been diagnosed by doctors. It is accepted though between my doctors and me that I have some degree of mild anxiety issues which fortunately I've learned ways to keep controlled enough that I can push past it most of the time. That's... really all I can say about those honestly. It's tricky to go into detail about.

At time of writing almost 24, and pretty much Welsh. Living with my mother but aiming to move closer to the station when I get the chance to. Cat-lover, video watcher, big dreamer, live inside my head a lot and like to write stories when I'm in the mood.

Games played:
Skyrim
Minecraft (any modpack will do!)
Unepic
[insert indie game of choice here]
And any number of my older console games that still work fantastically well. :)


And I tend to talk as if I have cybernetics and use versions of two-eyed smilies that have a 0 for a cybernetic eye. I do this because I am Cyborg and a writer, and it amuses me. :D
Yes that's Minecraft-me in my av. Done by Reiu who is damn talented!
