Well since I was the one who started this thread in the last world
Welcome to the IRL chat thread, reborn! Come talk about stuff related to what your doing, in real life, not related to MTG. I know we have discord for that now but eh. To start us off, I have five conversation starters...
-Where are you from?
-Origin of your username
-How did you get into magic?
-Favorite video games?
-Other personal interests?
-How was your day today?

In order-- New York New York, Voltaic Key + my name, an ex-boyfriend, VVVVVV/Super Meat Boy/etc, plunderphonics, and mediocre. And not to be pedantic, but that's six, not five. |

Sure!
1. Dallas, TX
2. It's a loose pun on Canterbury Tales and Cadbury Eggs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
3. Just the natural transition of things. I play a vast assortment of tabletops and this was next up.
4. Currently? GTA V and Rock Band 4. All-time? Yeesh. Borderlands 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2, Rock Band 2, probably. I apparently like sequels.
5. TABLETOP GAMES! And I'm currently super hyped for this MLB season - you have no idea how excited I am.
6. My day was okay! Had a critical issue at work that was fun to work around. Tomorrow I have to actually start doing, y'know, my job so that I can finish on time! Hopefully no critical issues this time around...
Also I'm calling you out aquaumisa. Answer your own questions!

Mario/Mega Man (and by Mega Man I mean the oldschool one) 5. Board games. Also programming. 6. Goddamn awful (just like every school day, but we went to the cinema and watched some shitty teen movie and me and my friends were like: Overwhelming Cringe   Instant  Return up to three target creatures to their owners' hands. |

-Where are you from?
Pennsylvania. About 40 minutes outside Philly.
-Origin of your username
Long story short, randomized character name for my WoW character.
-How did you get into magic?
Long story short, found a Serra Angel promo card for 7th edition on the ground at a RiteAid.
-Favorite video games?
RPG, Platformer, Puzzles, Action, Adventure ... Really anything with a compelling and gripping story that leaves a lasting effect.
-Other personal interests?
I've been playing table top RPGs for over a decade now. I recently was the dungeon master for a Dungeons & Dragons campaign that spanned over several months; it took place in a world I created and planned on using for a custom Magic set.
-How was your day today?
Pretty awful. Stress, anxiety, sadness. I can't cry anymore, but I'll get through this. Just need to distract myself.

Where are you from?London, UK! And inordinately proud of it. Where did your username come from?A lot of people have a pet creature type, and Homunculi are mine. When I decided I needed a new screen name, I thought I'd name it after a rather underpowered but still lovable member of the tribe, Shifty Homunculus. The problem is that the card I was thinking of is actually called Sneaky Homunculus and I'd already locked in my handle by the time I realized. Nonetheless, I'm pretty happy with it. How did you get into Magic?Bought Duels of the Planeswalkers '13 on a whim, and was hooked almost immediately. Favorite video games?XCOM 2 is my one and only, but I'm also a big fan of Civ 5, Age of Wonders 3, and Into the Breach. Outside strategy, I like my roguelikes - Nuclear Throne, Dungeons of Dredmor, and good old Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup - and I've recently developed an affection for an action-RPG typing game called Epistory. Other personal interests?I write, I play board games and tabletop RPGs (give me a shout if your group's ever short of a healer), I'm trying to be more active in ADHD advocacy, and I'm big into history. Hoping to teach it someday. How was your day today?Somehow managed to sleep through five separate layers of alarms, still waiting for my meds to kick in. Hopefully I can get some solid work done later on my dissertation.

1. ACT, Australia, aka the actual capital of Australia.
2. When I was 6, I created my first online account, on Club Penguin. I was 6, and my name starts with J, so 6J, but I needed at least 5 characters, hence 6000j
4. My favourite video game ever is Dustforce, although I play Fangames, rougelites, card games, any 2d platformer, and WoW.
5. Other card games.
6. Pretty shit. Talked back to a teacher who was being a dick, got home, wanted to relax but wasn't allowed to.

OK, let's do this! -Where are you from?I'm from Germany -Origin of your usernameI've been using this alias for different websites as well as for video games for a long, long time now (nearly two decades, I guess?). Originally, the Daij Djan is a figure from a German book series I read when I was a kid. They looked like slightly dark fantasy at first glimpse, but in reality displayed our world after a nuclear war. Likewise, the Daij Djan is described as a demon, but reality is a messanger of an alien race that started living on earth a long time ago already. You might wonder why I choose a character like this for my alias - but with the Daij Djan being displayed as of childlike stature, yet invulnerable with insane strength, claws causing never-healing wounds and many more features while the name having exactly eight characters (which was the limit for quite a few games in the past) was quite appealing to a young teenager for a videao game avatar  And somehow to this day, the name stayed. -How did you get into magic?I will not write this again xD If you really want to know the whole story, take a look here - otherwise the short answer is 6 th Edition. -Favorite video games?I really can't answer this. I've played video games for nearly three decades now, and I've enjoyed quite a few of them. I guess Baldur's Gate II might be the one game I'd single out if I really had to - I'm actually currently playing a game once more right now. -Other personal interests?I love reading books as well as manga (oddly enough don't watch as much anime, though) - but with my job and more importantly my family, spare time is a valuable resorce -How was your day today?Well, I worked early shift, so I'm rather tired. Other than that, it was fine. |

-Where are you from?: Originally Seattle, I now live in New Mexico.
-Origin of your username: I was really into Digimon Adventure back in the early parts of the millenium, and having a "cool internet handle" was all the rage. I then lost all access to the net for about 7 years and when I came back, I was a huge Rey Mysterio fan and needed a new e-mail, so I slammed my two interests together. Said e-mail no longer exists (went inactive for a bit again), but the name stuck.
-How did you get into magic?: I've been around since Ice Age. Older brother traded some comics for a pair of Fallen Empires-era starter decks and I got my first cards as a Hannukah present later that year. Funnily enough, I thought the idea of a CCG was dumb the first time I heard of it. If only I knew...
-Favorite video games?: I don't tend to play a lot, but I like Pokemon & Zelda off the top of my head. Was big into Mass Effect a few years back, but it ended at 3.
-Other personal interests?: I'm still a pro wrestling fan, though not as much as I once was (Let's put the most important belt on a part-timer who wrestles every other moth at best and have him hold it for an entire year. Oh, and we'll have our pet project that no one likes beat him to make him look cool. That's worth waiting a whole year, right?). Also, I play in multiple Pathfinder games, though mostly through play-by-post.
-How was your day today?
Not horrible.

Well hello new forum! Maybe we should add what was your previous username so I can keep this all straight...  -Where are you from? Kind of all over. Lived mostly in the USA but been north, east coast, and west coast. Also Germany. So yeah all over. -Origin of your username Best Beatles song ever -How did you get into magic? Friend taught me back in the Ice Age -Favorite video games? Bioshock, Halo, Red Dead Redemption, Fallout, Skyrim -Other personal interests? I love running, reading (currently reading the Mortal Engines series and loving it), and you guessed it! Playing guitar. -How was your day today? Good. Took the day off cause kids are on spring break. |

Origin of user: Born in New Zealand but living in Australia (have been for about 13 years now). Origin of username: When I was 11 I needed a name for my Lego.com account and I'd just discovered the wory quarry after reading the Spiderwick Chronicles series and I really liked the word so I decided to make it my username, and king just kinda followed. 103 is just the first number that popped into my head as well. It's a terrible name, but I haven't come up with anything better since. Magic origins: My brother started playing Magic in 2012 and he got me into it shortly after. First Magic product I remember purchasing is the  M13 Intro Deck, helmed by Nefarox, Overlord of Grixis. Favourite videogames: Killer Instinct, #IDARB, Lego Star Wars: the Complete Saga Other interests: Don't really have any, to be honest. I dunno, I guess I like reading (favourite book currently being The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde), and I also really like speaking Italian (favourite Italian word currently being schifo). How was my day: Slightly subpar. It's only 11:40 am so I haven't really done anything yet. 6000j: Yeah, you're technically the capital, but we all know the real capital's Sydney.

I don't have anything else to do right now, so I'm casually roaming around the forums, checking out the new place, haha.
Where are you from?
I'm from Denmark. Hej med dig. Origin of your username?A million years ago, when I was signing up for my very first email address, I got frustrated that every single name was already taken, so I spontaneously tried typing in 'AARGH' to vent this anger. That was also taken. At my wit's end, I decided to just swap the last to letters around, and there you go. I've grown to like the name, although it really awkward to say out loud. How did you get into magic?My older brother got me into it around the time of Onslaught block. We were both very young and didn't know the English language very well, so we had to make up a few rules here and there to make it work. For some reason we also always played with a starting life total of 100. This meant that most games ended with me, the younger and more impatient brother, conceding. The first magic cards I could call my own were from the Fifth Dawn theme deck called 'Stampede'. Favorite video games?Rocket League's up there for sure. It's the game I always fall back on when all else fails. Other games I've enjoyed a lot are The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, the Skate series, and the Motorstorm series. I could go on, but I'll stop there. At the moment I'm playing Bloodborne for the first time. It's goddamn crazy, but I like the challenge. Never played a Souls game before. Other personal interests?I'm a drummer above all else. I've played the drums for over a decade and I'm in the process of starting up a new band. Nothing huge, but we'd like to get out and play some original songs in the future. I also do some graphic design. I've studied it a little, and I hope to get more into it soon. How was your day today?We had the hottest day of the year so far in an otherwise rain-ridden country. I'd say my day was pretty good. |

-I'm from, essentially, the middle of nowhere, somewhere in the Midwest of America.
-Friend pressured me into creating a nickname fast for some video game, "Gurfle" was the first random noise that came to my head and now I just vary it everywhere for the most part.
-Started playing in my freshman year of high school after my junior friend(the same who pressured the nickname) introduced me. Introduced me to Commander and Legacy, but mostly Commander.
-Darkest Dungeon, both Portals, all 3 Borderlands - right now I'm on a Dragon Age: Origins kick though.
-Now that I think about it, all I do is play video games and Magic as hobbies, so... whoops! I guess I play some D&D(and variations) too, sometimes.
-My day was just dandy y'know, same ol', same ol', aside from, well, discouragement at posting anything on these forums ever (Which explains my edgy signature), but that's a personal issue.

And somehow to this day, the name stayed.
