I just thought it would be interesting to find out how many of my fellow fans of Fully Ramblomatic found out about the site.
I happened upon it one day as I was searching the internet for reviews of Freddy vs. Jason before I wasted my money watching some crap movie. Of course the internet being the stupidity it is, gave me Yahtz's review of the Friday the 13th game and I read it anyway and it was hilarious! I've been hooked ever since.

Short version, link by link:

-My regular haunt, wargames forum
-8-Bit Theatre thread
-Lance and Eskimo link
-Maxwells Silver Hammer review
-General red-capped complaination...

I found it a few years ago (I think it was around March or April of 2001) by accident when I was looking for information on the Nightmare on Elm Street series. I came across his review for Dream Warriors, thought it was funny as hell, and decided to explore a bit. Then I clicked the link leading to Yahtzee Takes on the World, and was instantly hooked.

I think it took me a quite while to gather enough nerve to step into the forums though...

Check out my crappy drawings!

I've been Yahtzee hooked since his first AGS games, got into the comic on the first week and been Yahtzeeholic ever since!

Took me longer to get into the forums than Janey though.

My firend was talking to me on MSN and started going on about waffles and panties, so i read the link he send me, loved it, read the pre-meditated flowchart, loved it, then remembered my friends going on ages ago about some Yahtzee comic, so i gave that a read, realised Yahtzee is the greatest comedian of all time, and was since then I've liked the British.

As for me, I first got into me when I first left the AGS community. Before then I was kind of a twat.

As I walked through the valley of the shadow of death, I realised that it could do with a lick of paint.

I found the Rob Blanc site through a link on the AGS website and kept checking back for updates. Then I started following the comics and when the comics finished, FR.

yes, I must admit that before Fully Ramblomatic I was completely ignorant as to the customs, traditions and lifestyles of the british... and I must also admit that now that I have been reading the site for awhile, I'm still completely ignorant in all of those fields.... but I have discovered that at least one Brit makes a damned funny comedic genious [ can't speak for the rest of the british as I haven't met them]

Um...Um...Ah...Ee...Umm. *hits head hard* think...think...think...think...

I came into being one day, and I really can't remember how I found Yahtz... I stayed mostly because I was impressed by Yahtz's use of grammar and spelling. With all the stupidity rampant throughout websites these days, I'm forever cringing at improper usages of languages (Yes, I know I've been corrupted by it as is shown through my use of ellipses and smilies >_<). I stuck around to read/play all of his articles, comics, games, and otherwise. Then...poof...I was posting on the forums.

I'm comfortably numb.

I got in the forums simply so I could make others hear my bad jokes

I've always thought the British had the most innovative humour in the world. Python, Red Dwarf, Black Adder, League of Gentlemen etc. Since then I've listened to tapes of The Goon Shows from the 1950s...radio shows...hilarious.

They take the piss out of themselves better than anyone, and out of everyone else of course...like Yahtzee. That's why I love him.

Yeah, those Birts have a great old time.

The Brits are far more serious.

(sorry Soley)

PS Found Yahtzee on recommendation.

Did it again...that was me.

Might have to think about registering and giving up my independence.

Can't think of an appropriate avatar.
