I guess I should say hi properly..

RockingScorpion · **on:** March 11, 2014, 01:08:58 PM

So I'm going to do that now. A warning ahead: I like to write, so yeah, this miiight get a little longer. Or not, let's see about that.

I'm now 23 years old, I'm from Germany (if my language is suddenly messed up, that's the reason, but I'm trying my best) and I'm becoming a photographer right now (one and a half years of learning still ahead).

I still have a VHS copy of Land Before Time, and I watched the hell out of it. Let's say, from age 6 or so to 11/12, I was absolutely hyped about dinosaurs. That has died down a little, but I still like them, know the facts and stuff. Back then I watched the other LBT movies too, and I liked them. Today I don't think any of them can reach the original, but Journey To The Mists got pretty close for me. Or maybe that's just me being nostalgic: I still own an audio version of that one and too listened the hell out of it.

Recently my interest in this particular movie came back when I found out that there were massive cuttings. I always like researching stuff like that and the missing scenes were the reason I registered myself.
When these scenes are still locked away somewhere, I would so love to see them in a Directors Cut or something. Dunno if I'm imagining this, but when I watch the movie now, I cant help it getting the feeling that there was "more" to it.

Soo..I guess I could tell a little more about my other hobbies:
I'm a roller coaster junkie/nerd and know way to much about them, I still wonder why people never got annoyed so far when they visited an amusement park with me. Don't ask me about something specific, and if you do, brace yourself for a while.

I like reading, swimming, videogames, animals (dolphins especially), listening to music and seeing concerts and I like doing fanart. If anyone is interested:
http://rockingscorpion.deviantart.com/
Since I got hooked again recently, there might be LBT related stuff coming up, who knows.

And the third online community (next to rollercoasters and this one) is the MLP-Fandom, called Brony Fandom. If you're one yourself: /)
If you're not - imagine a fistbump.

I don't know if I will be seen here more often with posts, but I'm definitely going to check new posts and such.

Soo..since I don't know what to say anymore, I just add a last...
HI.

And if anyone wants to ask something, feel free.

So, let's see...
Wall Of Text, I knew it! xD Oh, and...

Is that a blushing dinosaur? It took me a while to figure that out.

Sorry for any typos or totally messed up language.
RockingScorpion.

Welcome to the forum

I hope that you enjoy your time here. As for your use of the English language, don't worry about it you did fine.

I had no trouble understanding you.

Just out of curiosity, besides the original film, what is your favorite LBT film? On a related note, do you have a favorite character from the gang?

Welcome to the Gang of Five!

Pterano · **Reply #3 on:** March 11, 2014, 01:26:42 PM

Hello there, and welcome to our forum!

I'm Pterano, the forum's resident tour director and Napoleonic history buff.

I also love roller coasters as well.

Your command of the English language is very good, and I had no problems understanding you. Photography? Nice! I have several friends and family that are very into that as well! I hope you enjoy your stay!

welcome to Gof, always great to see a new member join here. I like dolphins, some video games, and have been a fan of MLP:FIM since early season 1.

Dalekdino · **Reply #5 on:** March 11, 2014, 01:50:18 PM

Hi there, hope you enjoy yourself here. I'm 23 too, and a Dino nut, though it has worn off a bit with age.

Welcome to the GOF RockingScorpion! Your english is awesome, don't worry about it

See you around the forum!

Nick22 · **Reply #7 on:** March 11, 2014, 03:03:56 PM

A long post is more likely to get a long reply

So first and foremost, welcome to the GoF Rocking Scorpion

I'm from Germany too and I can assure you your language skills are at least at the same level as mine, yep, yep, yep (and they were really bad when I joined up)

I'm feeling that way too. You just know that there's a scene but it's not shown... one disadvantage of knowing what those scenes are supposed to show

I'm a roller coaster junkie

Well, I do enjoy riding those though I hardly get around to do so.

Quote

and I like doing fanart

So do I (though I've been far too lazy...) I would love to see some artwork from you, yep, yep, yep.

Do you like to roleplay/ if so we have several rps going on that you could join.

Well, if you are... I'm sort of in charge of some LBT RP's. Though there are several RP's about just anything

Another "wall of text", eh? I just had to

Enjoy your stay and have fun!

RockingScorpion · **Reply #9 on:** March 11, 2014, 04:16:20 PM

Woah, Ducky123, I guess you're right about that long post - more reply-thing.

rhombus: My favourite next to the original movie is "Journey Through the Mists".
About a gang favourite...mhm, no. They're all great characters. But if you would've asked me as a kid, I would've said Littlefoot.

Kor: Brohoof.

Nick22: I've seen the rps, but I don't really like those in general.

Ducky123: I wasn't expecting anyone else from Germany here. My language skills come from mass reading english fanfics.

I know guys who rode almost every coaster on earth that has a name. My count is nothing compared to that, but those guys have the time and the money. I don't. xD

If you have a deviantart or something I'd like to see it.

Everyone else (and those mentioned above too of course): Thx for the warm welcome.

Hello:
And welcome to GoF!

.

It is always nice to see new memebers coming to the forum, because it sure needs some new life after a time when it almost died.

I do hope you'll have a great time in here, so see you around!.

Kor · **Reply #11 on:** March 11, 2014, 05:14:54 PM

Brohoof back.

Forgot to mention there is a MLP:FIM thread on this forum if you're interested. http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/i...ic=9332.4800

There are also some brony podcasts and at least 1 streaming show, The Brony Show, that I watch Monday nights.

Any favorite pony? I have some that are tied for first & 2nd, but not any single one.

Welcome with us RockingScorpion

It is always a pleasure to welcome new members to our community. I too am from Germany and please rest assured that by the time I first joined a land before time forum my English was a lot worse than yours is

As for roller coasters and me, that's a story of its own and some members of this community can testify that I looked rather shell-shocked after they had managed to talk me into joining a roller coaster ride some years ago

LBTDiclonius · **Reply #13 on:** March 11, 2014, 08:02:38 PM

*(\ Brohoof! I'm an mlp-fan myself. Have been since early 2010.

Welcome to the GOF! I hope your stay is a pleasant one!

Blitz · **Reply #14 on:** March 12, 2014, 02:49:27 AM

I'm also 23 currently, but that'll change on Flag Day in June. I had The Land Before Time and Secret of Saurus Rock on VHS, but had to get rid of them along with almost every other movie I had except for a few. However, I now have the original movie on DVD so I can watch the crap out of it at any given time.

Speaking of being a "dino nut", I was sort of named after the king of the dinos, the Tyrannosaurus Rex. (My middle name)

RockingScorpion · **Reply #15 on:** March 12, 2014, 09:16:41 AM

Kor: Thx, definitely keeping my eyes on that.
I never watch episode streams, they're just so unstable. I always wait for youtube etc.
Favourites? Well, just like you. Pick ONE from the Mane6? Or the CMC? Or anyone else? Impossible if you ask me.

Malte279: Then you never should visit a park when I'm around. I have a talent to convince people into doing stuff they regret all the way up to the lifthill. xD
But my first real coaster experience was just like that. I was freaked out like hell on the way up (and 220 feet isn't exactly nothing
isn't exactly nothing), but that was the point where I lost my fear for everything. Except this one here. No thanks, I prefer to live. xD

LBTDiclonius:

Blitz: There was one time when I fought hard to convince my parents to keep all my old VHS tapes. Luckily it worked.

Thanks again for the nice welcome. And..if this keeps up, I'll make an ask-topic.
