There's this thing called VASSAL, but I'm not totally sure it's what you are thinking of.

A friend of mine made a VASSAL version of the board game "Mage Knights". I've not tried using it yet, but it might be a good way to play games!

Yeah, I used Roll20 to run a roleplaying campaign with friends living in another part of Japan. It was a little buggy, but I'm sure they've improved on it enough now that it's worth using!

Hello and welcome, you nonce!

Hi all. I'm Kheesz, you may remember me from such BAD threads as "Video Games, Misogyny, And Terrorism: A Guide To Assholes" or "Why I Feel Bad For - And Understand - The Angry [HASH]GamerGate Gamers." I'm terrible with names, I genuinely don't know why I chose that. I don't even know how you pronounce it. 

I've been a regular reader of Devin since his days on CHUD, and have been visitng BAD from it's inception. I'm not really a big internet commenter, but the GG threads were a great outlet for a number of reasons. I have a lot more to say on the subject but I'll leave them in the GG thread.

Obviously I'm interested in all forms of media. My first love is still film, I can't single out one as my all time favorite, but 3 of my favorite movies from the past 10 years are Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Children of Men, and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. I'm one of those boring people who thinks The Wire is best TV drama ever, though The Simpsons is something that is ingrained in me since I was a kid that I can make references to it every day.

I've been playing games since I was very young, though I kind fell out with them until early last year. I basically crammed a whole generation of games into a period of less than a year. I'm one of those people destroying gaming because Gone Home was my favorite game last year and it made me cry. I'm not anti-AAA but I find that a lot them just aren't my thing, especially the ones from this year. The Last of Us was easily my favorite AAA release last year but I found that indie games like Gone Home, Papers Please, Brothers, The Stanley Parable etc were really what I wanted to search out and play. Others from the same generation that I really liked were the Souls and Arkham games.

My musical tastes are all over the map but I end up discovering stuff at my own pace rather than what is the big thing, even if I end up really liking them. I've been political long before I could vote (I distinctly remember my absolute disgust towards abstinence only sex-ed when I was 13-14. It was flat out lies and conservative morality being taught that just perpetuates a cycle of ignorance that has actually increased what they're trying to stop), I read really long books and take way too long to do it, and I try to write but I still have a lot of blocks that I have overcome. 

My turn offs are people who say "Just shut your brain off and have fun", internet sea lions and other similar groups with what I call "Umm, actually"-itis, and people whose mantra is "Both sides do it." 

So yeah I'll warp this up, I ramble on sometimes. I have a more to the point though a probably still long post to make in the GG thread. I'm off to start writing it!

Hello! I'm also one of the boring people who think The Wire is the best TV show and I like indie games and also dual-wielding giant clubs in Dark Souls 2.

Hi, my name is Dwayne Dibbley, you may also know me on BAD as "Keosegg". The name "Keosegg" was just a nonsense word I made up when I was fifteen and I've kept it as a moniker mainly because it's relatively unlikely that anyone else has it.

I've been with BAD for a few years now, but only started commenting like two years ago.

My greatest goal in life is to be the prettiest motherfucker alive.

My second greatest goal in life is to be a slam poet.

My favourite word is "numpty".

The kinds of music I listen to is pretty eclectic. For nearly three years I listened to nothing but Metal and only now am I getting back into the world of Pop. Almost immediately after getting back into Pop, I discovered my unhealthy obsession for Taylor Swift.

Befitting a poet, I've also been listening to a lot of Hip-Hop.

My favourite types of movies are usually the weird Yugoslavian Arthouse movies, followed by giant robot movies.

My favourite books are also very weird. As it stands, my favourite book (Seizure by Erica Wagner) is a wordy, pretentious, histrionic mess that involves selkies, pirates and incest.

I've been gaming most of my life and I considered myself a Gamer up until recently. You probably know why this has changed.

I usually play a series of five games on rotation. Skyrim, the Dragon Ages, the Fallouts and the Mass Effects. I sometimes shake up the routine by playing an Indie game, but it's not often.

That's basically me in a nutshell.

This is my kind of poetry:

Hello. 

I'm Luci_Fer on disqus, Lucika on the guardian and other places, and other obscure nom de plumes on twitter and steam! 

(I have hobbit feet on twitter, hi Kav)

It's more habit than paranoia to keep separate usernames but it's stuck tbh   

So yes, hello.  I (like some others) felt fairly cheered by the unusual amount of fun and reasonableness on the BAD comment threads (aside from the doxxings, obvs) so here I am.

All hail the Ellie, etc. 

Hello, you sexist nonce!

Welcome to the social justice party, pal!
