Off-Topic / Re: The Introduction Thread
June 20, 2010, 12:58:27 PM
Well then, I thought it would be nice to put down a little introduction here. I'll try my best to make sure I only provide info relevant to NSM ^^.

I decided to be known as Offkey here, came up with that yesterday, but I might be known by some as Maluigi (put down some QQ on this forum on that name once, still sorry for that), Nintendude (I really thought of the name myself, but a day later I realized that there was a long term member with the same name... turned out I snagged his nick lol), Sainty01 (Youtube and Steam), or Pent even (World of Warcraft). I'm 20 years old, I'm from the Netherlands and like to play games, piano, and maybe put some efforts in studying if theres time left ;p.

I've been playing Nintendo games since I got myself an N64 with SM64, it totally blew me away. Ever since, I always considered music to be an important part of the total experience of a game. Coincidentally, I started playing piano at roughly the same time I started playing games, and have had lessons for 7 years. Near the end of my first piano-era, I thought it'd be cool to be able to play some VG tunes, so I decided to look for them on the internet and voila, there was NSM. It was late 2004/early 2005 and the website was still pretty red, but it also was exactly what I was looking for. Since that moment I've visited the website on a not-so-regular basis, sometimes every day, sometimes I'd stay away for months, although I didn't really play piano anymore, was kinda tired of it at that time (which I still regret now ><).

Anyway, a while ago, I quit WoW so I suddenly found myself with pretty much truckloads of spare time, and decided I'd give the piano another shot. I got hooked pretty quickly, and here I am. I honestly would love to contribute to the website with arrangements, but I'm afraid that's not really gonna happen, at best I can only do single-noted melodies :(. Done some quick search on "arranging for dummies" but I guess it's just a skill you either have or don't... oh well.

I'm trying my best to learn as many of the arrangements as possible, and might start uploading some recordings on youtube some day ^^.

Damn now that I look at this, it nearly looks like a job application... >< ohwell long story short, I've been lurking about for a while already and now that I regained interest in piano, I decided to jump into the fray.

Hope to see you guys around,

~Offkey

Oh cool, will do, I'm pretty sure I'll be pretty active on here from now on, although don't expect any arrangements, I would love to do them but have no idea how to ;p
