1. English is not my native language although lots of people say I write better English than native speakers. I'd agree, as far as spelling
2. Was born in Poland. Live in US.
3. I dream in Polish. I think it's weird because I think in English..

Oh wow! Same here, do you speak any Polish? Cause I've forgotten many words but simple ones during my time in England.

I would to see the PM about Dave And stingray, they are easily two of my favourite forum poster on this forum.

Anyway back to topic guys please, its interesting seeing some interesting things about either he new forum posters or the old ones

Aww thanks I try to make my posts as entertaining and thoughtful so that the people reading aren't bored to tears reading another stupid post.

Oh and I was gonna post the PM in a thread called "why stingray10 hates me" but his response to me wasn't as childish and filled with RAGE and FURY that I thought it would be. It wouldn't be that entertaining if I did it.

Might as well...

1. I'm Dutch, but was born in Belgium. Due to both my parents being Dutch I kept the nationality.
2. I spoke basic English when I was 6 years old, due to the many video games I played.
3. I speak Dutch, French and English fluently. I understand German, but can't really speak it. I know some basic vocabulary of Turkish and can read most characters of the Japanese Hiragana alfabet.
4. I have ADHD, but thanks to my awesome parents I was raised in such a way that most people wouldn't even dare to think I have it. Although my concentration problems still show every now and then.
5. I have an IQ of approx. 149, which was tested when I was a child.
6. I was originally allowed to skip a year in school, but my parents were against it as they wanted me to grow up with people of my own age.
7. I have trouble socialising with people who're my own age. I can relate more to people 5 or 6 years older.
8. Untill November 2011, I used to be competitive swimmer (12 hours of training a week). I quit due to the club getting a new board that ruined a lot of things, as well as losing interest in it.
9. I study Economics with extra math in an equivalent of High School. Belgian students are required to study untill the age of 18 (thus 6 years of high school). I'm doing my final year now, but because the law says we have to study (thus not go to school), I decided to do my final year at home. I couldn't stand going to school anymore due to too many differences between me and my classmates.
10. Next year I will study DAE (Digital Arts and Entertaintment) to get a Bachelor in Major Game Development. Hopefully I'll be able to get a Master degree as well.
11. I have an older sister (2.5 years difference) and we get along great. A lot of people are shocked we can get along so well.
12. My dream is to have my own game development company in Norway.
13. I don't like living in Belgium.
14. I am a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series. Final Fantasy X was the first I ever played.
15. I got introdced to Assassin's Creed when visiting a friend who had it running on his PS3. I asked if I could have a go, and completed almost 50% of the game for him. It didn't take too long before I bought a PS3 and the AC franchise myself.
16. I dislike Call of Duty due to it having an awful playerbase of very unfriendly people.
17. None of my real life friends play the AC multiplayer. They only play (yes you guessed it!) Call of Duty.
18. Since February 2012, I also own an Xbox 360.
19. I am extremely allergic to any sort of nuts. The first time almost cost me my life. Fun fact: for 5 years I didn't eat peanuts untill I discovered they weren't actually classified as nuts but more as a family of peas and beans. I celebrated with a lot of peanut ****er.
20. When my hair has grown long enough and I wear a beanie and a long coat, I bear some resmblance to Shinjiro Aragaki from Persona 3.
21. I prefer Winter over Summer. I like the cold and the snow as I get too warm very easily.
22. I got kicked out of school when I was 6 due to the teachers having problems with my ADHD (kicking me out was the nicest thing they've ever done for me).
23. I recently got my license to work as a lifeguard in swimming pools.
24. Some people mark me as very silent, but when I open my mouth there's usualy a very strong message that comes out with good timing. This has gotten me in some trouble before when talking with so called "superiors" at school.
25. I think this thread is AWESOME!

Deutsch und Niederländisch sind sich auch ein bisschen ähnlich

Buck the establishment. School and geniuses don't usually mix, don't sweat it --- keep being yourself.

I actually beat the computer in Fifa 2010 using only my feet, I put the controller on the ground and sat in a chair.

WHOA! That's pretty awesome

I hear you brah, only I was allowed to skip a year of school. I really hate it when I have to deal people with my age but they're more stupid then me :@ And it really gets on my nerves when they say 'I have no life'. 'Well duh! I'm smarter than you! How would you be able to relate to my higher standard of life?!'

[Madman6884]

Ohhh sure why not.

1) There is only one other series I've played that I truly enjoy playing online. Monster Hunter is the other.
2) Born in Denver, Colorado, lived most of my life in Nebraska. I never said I was happy about it.
3) I have a degree as a graphic designer, just never really gotten the opportunity to use it between the economy and how competitive GD jobs are.
4) Sadly never been out of the country, though I definitely want to...whenever the opportunity comes.
5) When it comes to music I've never been too choosy. There are certain genres I avoid for the most part, but its usually just "I hear a song I like, I save it"
6) At a younger age I practiced Tae Kwon Do. I got a first degree black belt, but I'm so out of practice anymore it hardly counts at this point.
7) I only really discovered my love of art and creativity in the 8th grade, since then I took as many classes in high school as I could building up to my choice of major in college.
8) I've been a theme park enthusiast for a long time, its been a goal of mine that once I'm more financially able, I'll try to visit as many around the country as I can.
9) Mystery Science Theater 3000 is the best show ever. Not up for debate or discussion, if you disagree then you haven't watched it. =p
10) I'm more introverted, very shy and quiet until I get to know someone well enough. After that I'm almost a completely different person.
11) Along with the last one, I'm not comfortable in big group situations. Parties, bars, etc I'll mostly sit in the corner quiet or follow around the one or two people I know well.
12) I've had self confidence problems for as long as I can remember, always second guessing my own skills and abilities. Thing is, at the same time I know its mostly a mental block and not true.
13) I've always had a set of morals for the way I behave on the internet, trying to remain civil in discussion and really loathing when people don't behave the same way.
14) I have an old fan and I always sleep with it running, even in the winter. It's the white noise it provides that helps me sleep.
15) My two favorite comedians- Lewis Black and Patton Oswalt. They both match my own cynical sense of humor a lot.
16) I don't watch a lot of movies in general. There are a lot of popular movies, new and old, that you can name and I'll have never seen them completely (Star Wars for instance)
17) Because of my movie preferences, I won't see movies just based on who directed. The only exception is Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim), guys awesome.
18) Because of the confidence issues I mentioned before, I've never gotten around to trying to join a clan here, though I've wanted to for some time.
