Hello folks, I'm The Sarge, and I'm here to whip people into shape! (Myself mostly, I'm pretty bad at this...)

I'm new to the Let's Play scene and Youtubing (is that a word) in general, but I am a vet when it comes to failing miserably at games. I've been twiddling my thumbs and mashing buttons down furiously for about twenty years now, which is just slightly less longer than I have been alive (give or take a few months). I'm stuck in the woebegone state of Georgia, right in the miserable cultural quagmire that is Atlanta. I quite enjoy it here. I tend to gravitate to the more...strategic games and hobbies, but I'm not above embarrassing myself by trying fighting games. I spent ten years in the US Army and ran away at the rank of Sergeant when it became apparent that they wanted to make South Korea my forever home.

Some of you (and by that I mean none) may know me from Youtube, where I am nothing like a big deal, and in fact, am a decidedly small deal. I'm huge on Twitter though, I promise. In my spare time I write about American Football for a blog/magazine/fansite called "Saints Tailgate" under my government assigned name of Mike Wallace (man isn't that original). As far as who I follow that is on this site, I only know of two people, Aavak and Dapper Jester. There may be more, but I'm not certain of that.

I've only been doing Let's Plays for about 4 months, and I'm still trying to iron out all the technical whozits and thingamadads that are needed for it. I've found that if something isn't graphite encased in wood used to scribble on other, deader pieces of wood, that I have an issue with it. I'm well aware of my shortcomings. But for that reason I have sought, well, sanctuary here. I hope to improve my skills by watching people that are better than I am, blatantly copying them, giving no credit and trying to find ways to turn a profit. Failing that, I will breathe heavily into my headset for 30 minutes while a never ending loop of the demo reel on Street Fighter II plays and release it every week with a new title. Win-win really.

In all seriousness though, I am looking to get better at this, and I'm also looking for a place to hangout with cool people who talk about cool things. I think this is the place I can do it.

That was a pretty good intro you wrote up there. xD
Hello! My name's Drew. Welcome to the Sanctuary! Improving is usually an admirable goal, unless you're going to... I dunno... steal things without giving credit and then turn a profit.

But you don't seem like that kind of guy so I'm sure you'll be fine here! ;P Hope to see you around man! You seem pretty cool.

Thanks for the warm welcome folks. I'm hoping that I can become a contributing member around here. I'm a little hesitant to put a link up for one of my LP's, but I think I might go ahead and do so.

That cracked me up xD

Welcome Sarge! Permission to give you a welcome, sir!

...Okay? Alright, I'll take that as a yes. :)

Gotta admit, your intro instantly grabbed my attention, you seem like a pretty ambitious Let's Player. Nice to hear you're into fighting games too, in fact there was a time when I attempted a commentary of Street Fighter II, but then I lost myself in the action and ended up losing my focus. :p

Also, don't be hesitant to share some of your content on the Sanctuary, we give as much feedback and support as we can to make your LP's super good! Hope to see you more often in the Sanctuary and be sure to check our other LPers' content as well!

Hi Sarge, good to see you've found this little sanctuary of ours :D

Your intro was hilarious, I approve, it was also insightful, thus I approve doubly! You're already making yourself at home, so there's no need for me to encourage you to take part, so welcome once again, and I look forward to checking out some of your LPs :)
