Greetings Gamerman!

Have you played the new Mortal Kombat? My younger brother got it and one of my friends too. I'm not a big gamer but wow am I loving this game! Not only is it nostalgic it's just a really fun multi-player game.

Hi there! I'll try not to hold it against you that you're from California. ;) (I'm an Oregonian who got transplanted to Texas.)

Welcome Gamerman, welcome to the Portal!

@FemmeLegion, I am an Oregonian who has been living in the North OC for the past 5 years, and boy am I homesick! Course I just learned that I have been accepted into a PhD program over in New Zealand, so pretty soon my time in Purgatory will be coming to a close. No offense intended Gamerman, i know plenty of people who love the OC.. I'm just not among them.

Cheers,

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
And i love that I can bring this online community closer together =P

Sheesh, you're going to be going to NZ for a PhD program? That's amazing! If you want to know any awesome places to visit, let me know, I spent three months traveling around there :)

DarkMagus

Congrats Arsheesh, that's so awesome!

New Zealand will most likely be a great inspiration for more amazing maps as well. Its kind of funny that I'll be moving to California this summer for a PhD program (Masters included though), just as you'll be leaving California for a PhD program. Best to ya!

arsheesh

Thanks guys! Yeah I'm super stoked. I actually spent about two weeks there myself back in 2003, taking a road trip across both islands. Didn't manage to see it all in those two weeks but we saw an awful lot! I'm looking forward to taking it all in a bit more slowly this time around. Having said that, I'd sure like to here whatever suggestions you have Gaaran. Sounds like you had considerably more time to get familiar with the lay of the land on your trip, and it would be nice to get some pointers.

Oh, and I'm pretty excited about the program as well. Anyway, I'll stop highjacking your thread now Gamerman, but thanks for all the encouragement guys.

Cheers,

Congrats, Arsheesh.

I hear they're filming some sort of low-budget fantasy film in NZ over the next few months. It'll probably be hard to find out where all the filming is going on, though...

Thanks Frank! I won't be heading over till January though, so no small cameo for Arsheesh ;)
