What's up everyone

Hey everyone, my screen name is obviously "TheHoaginator" (Has a bit of a small bit of story behind it, but mainly I just have it because it's silly), and I'm (also) obviously on this site to have some fun meeting other LPers and hopefully get some traffic for my own channel.

I'm turning 21 in December, currently I'm attending university for Linguistics and I'm actually about to be finished with summer T_T. I actually started Let's Playing this summer as a way to stave off boredom, but I had been wanting to do it for a while. Ultimately I had a friend of mine about to start his up, and I just thought that I had waited around long enough. It's also a lot of fun, and I've had a long toiling time of learning how YouTube works on uploads (They really need to advertise those requirements better, am I the only one who thinks that??), but now it's down to a formula, and I'm having a good time and am uploading every day.

I play everything. I'm a gamer first and foremost, so genre doesn't matter. I do have favorites, though, which shouldn't really come as a surprise. I tend to love good RPGs and Action-Adventure games the most. To me, I love story to be one of the stronger traits of the game.

I plan to eventually do something tech-related as far as jobs go, and it's a pipedream of sorts, but I'd love to make a game professionally. I love learning about, well, everything for the most part, though, so I'm pretty open on what I'd be willing to do in the mean time. In fact, one of my hobbies (kind of lame to some people, I guess) is that I like to just browse Wikipedia on random topics and just follow some of their sources in order to learn more. Other hobbies include (obviously) gaming, but I also like writing, programming, and I'm looking to pick up 3D modeling and maybe get a bit of experience in that. I also have an increasing amount of editing knowledge since I edit all of my videos.

I kind of feel like I'm droning on about stuff no one cares about, lol, so I'll just end it here. If there are any questions I'll be more than willing to answer, and I'm excited to join this community.

Thanks for your time!

Ahh, you weren't droning on about stuff nobody cares about. I used to read the dictionary in my spare time, so don't feel bad in the slightest.

In a video game, I love the story to be the main focus as well. I actually don't really like games if they don't have a story, so for example, I'm not a huge fan of Tetris (even if the theme is amazing), but I love games such as To the Moon, which consists of barely any gameplay at all.

It's weird that not many people have greeted you yet... Usually there are more responses to introduction messages, especially the ones that sound like the person is trying to make friends with others here. I guess I'll be the second. My name is Drew. Welcome to the sanctuary. It's nice to meet you. :)

Hey, thanks for the welcome :)

Yeah, as far as entertainment goes I just like things to be as artistic as possible, and while gameplay can indeed be beautiful, I tend to find that stories satisfy that preference much easier, and much longer.

Well so far I've had a slow start I guess (maybe because it's the weekend and people are with friends or something) but nothing bad so far :)

If it keeps up it'll be nice to drop by now and again though :D
