So, I decided to post a proper intro so that I don't feel like a total outsider when I decide to post (I'm still too scard to post on the forums. I'm in therapy to get me there). This is pretty much just what you'd find out by looking slightly to your right, but I find that hurts the neck a bit, so here it is, for your front-viewing pleasure, my life in point form:
-my real name is Tom
-I generally use the handle Sarin, but its often taken
-I'm a 19 yo uni student
-I'm studying science(specifically chemistry and pharmacology) at Sydney Uni
-I live in Australia so my intertubes take a bit longer to reach you
-Some of my favourite games are:
Grim Fandango
Secret of Monkey Island I&II
Psychonauts
Day of the Tentacle
(Add any Tim Schaefer Game Here)
Fallout 1&2
Max Payne 1&2
TF2
Vampire: Bloodlines
Arcanum
Planescape: Torment
This is already too long so I'll stop
-Currently playing:
TF2
Grim Fandango for 5th time (can beat it in a few hours now)
N (literally playing as I type)
Resident Evil 4
Random:
-I get irrationally distressed when game characters have names like Sarin. Saren(Mass Effect), Sareth(Dark Messiah), Saris(Horizons), there are others
-I am willing to pay full price for GTA IV to play it on release day (That's AU$120 = US$110!)
-Games in Australia are a massive rip-off
-Having no friends is laym

About Me
Hey all, real name's Tom, but I usually travel under the handle Sarin (as in the chemical). I'm a 19 yo Uni student studying science at Sydney Uni. As some of you may have figured out I live in Australia but I still try to get on the destructoid TF2 sever despite my 200+ pings.

Welcome. We have such sights to show you.
Don't be scared about the forums. Their scariness is overplayed. Fantastic intro, welcome to Dtoid, don't suck :).
Games are indeed a rip-off in Australia.
Don't think I ever did an intro post...
Good intro man, keep up the good work.
Sydney really is a beautiful place (speaking from experience).
Nice intro, LOVE the header. Don't suck.
hello, welcome. We love you.

Welcome to Destructoid, I love you.
And NO ONE else loves you as much as I do.
Welcome to Destructoid, gooo boomerangs!
I think the forums are more forgiving than cblogs, actually. As long as you post an intro thread over there, anyway.
