Hello GUN community. Been lurking around here for quite some time, even before this current account. I feel like its time to step out from the shadows and give a proper introduction.

Aside from the community aspect here, many of us here I would assume are just very passionate about modding our games. To give some background here without boring details. First game I ever modded/tweaked I believe was DOOM 3 in 2004, where I changed some ini values to make the shadows sharper among other ini tweaks. The control that PC games allows the user to have over them is well kinda neat to say the least. Ever since then any game I like & I can mod in some way I'll probably do so. It was only natural that I would eventually discover Bethesda titles and their modding potential. Morrowind & Oblivion quickly followed. I fell in love with 1st person open world exploration story driven games. Then S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl came out and I just lost it lol. As much as fantasy settings can be fun for me, there is just something about the post-apocalyptic setting that really spoke to me. So needless to say STALKER & Fallout 3/NV are some of my all time favorites. I also really enjoy getting creative taking screenshots, posted some examples below. I hope to post more in the near future. I'll stop there that wall of text yikes.

Example 1:

Example 2:

Lastly I just wanted give a huge THANK YOU to the modders here for your kind contributions over on the public release forum section.

It is really appreciated thank you for making Fallout a joy to come back to time and time again.

Greetings fellow stalker. Congrats on stepping out of the shadows and into the light. I was a lurker around here for a very long time as well before I decided to actually chat with the good folk of GUN. As for the post-apocalyptic game settings,they have always been my favorite as well. Fallout, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and the Metro games have always been my sort of holy trinity for my favorite game settings. Anyways,feel free to chat with the others and keep it up with those great screenshots. Now...

Spoiler:

@zodiac213 Nice to see another Zone wanderer here and the obligatory "GET OUT OF HERE STALKER" Made me feel right at home lol.

Also how could I forget the Metro series its amazing. Like you said the holy trinity ain't complete without 'em couldn't agree more.

@Sec9 - welcome out of the shadows! With that background and those screenshots you'll fit right in broad daylight See you around and enjoy the sunlight!

@jacoboriley Thank you for the warm welcome I appreciate that.

Quick question how do I @ somebody in a reply with their name highlighted?

Like in your reply I can hover with my mouse over @"Sec9" to see my profile, but when I replied to @zodiac213 that didn't happen.

Even when I tried "Mention".

Actually I'm not sure what the real answer to that is. I started adding a space after the name then "-" then another space.....seems to work most of the time for some reason.

@jacoboriley - Thanks for the quick reply doing a test to see if that works.

Edit: No luck so far lol
Edit 2: Its no big deal, I was just wondering if I was doing something wrong when replying.
Seems people in thread still see a notification so I guess that's all that matters.

@Sec9 Hello again. I believe you can't actually tag people cause you're account is "new". I searched around and saw that some people said that they couldn't properly tag people until they had made enough posts to prove that they weren't a bot spammer.

@zodiac213 Ah ok see that makes perfect sense now, I appreciate the info.
