Default Greetings!

Name: John
Origins/Location: Rancho Cordova (formerly Sacramento), California.
Age: 19
Sex: Male
Hobbies: Astronomy, Graphics & Animation, Modding, Sci Fi (TV and films), Music (of course)
Favorite Bands/Artist: Nightwish, After Forever, Epica, Within Temptation, Alter Bridge, Nickelback, Paramore, Vanessa Carlton.
Color Zune you own: Black (30)
Favorite Zune Game/app, if any: Running Man, zBreak, Slaaam, Squadron Z. Sleep Timer.
How'd you find ZuneBoards?: Mostly links from Zune XNA game developers.

Something about me:

I also frequent Zunerama, and got my Zune 30 back in July last year. It's hard to believe I've had my 30 for a year now! I'd like to eventually get a Zune 4/8, for my Dad if not for myself. (Long boring hours at work.)

I'm planning to attend a local Community College in the fall, hopefully with plans to transfer into an UC or CSU university, after taking a year off to get my driver's license, looking for work, and just catching up in general. My high school had block scheduling, which basically involved 8 classes a year, split into half-year long courses. Needless to say, high school was quite a rushed, hectic affair for me.

I've had an interest in XNA 3.0, and perhaps one day I'll try my hand at learning C#. I tend to pick up programming languages fairly quick, as I've been tinkering with, and modifying computer games as long as I've played them. I have some experience with graphics and animation, and have assisted with the graphical development of a few websites.

I enjoy PC gaming as well, as noted above, from Freelancer, Call of Duty 4, Team Fortress 2, Supreme Commander, and many other titles I can't think of off the top of my head.

I've been told I have unusual musical tastes, to say the least. I enjoy symphonic metal, alternative/punk rock, and even a little pop.

Oh, and there's another thing about me: I tend to ramble on and on! Anyway, glad to be here, ZuneBoards seems like quite an exciting place for Zune aficionados. See you around the forum!

Please be sure to read and follow the rules and feel free to ask any questions you may have. You have fair taste in music. I love Epica, After Forever and Nightwish.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! Rest assured, I've already gone though the rules and most of the 'Important' subforum topics.

I believe I know a few of you from other forums as well.

I'm new to the forum reputation system, and although I'm familiar with how it works, I'm unfamiliar with the etiquette around here, so bear with me as I learn.

Oh, I get how it works, I just meant that each online community tends to develop it's own quirks, unspoken rules, and way of doing things. Since I'm new, I'm not yet familiar with how things work here, but perhaps I'm just being too worrisome (Is that even a word? lol).

Hehe, I've been too clingy to a select few bands, so I've been trying to branch out lately, and try out other similar bands. That's how I found Epica, Visions of Atlantis and Therion. Other suggestions would be welcome!

You should check out Tristania, Sirenia and Kamelot.

I actually do have Tristania's album Ashes. Didn't really like them at first, but I didn't like Nightwish at first either. I've heard of Sirenia, and have also been recommended Kamelot before, so I'll have to check them out.

Anyone hear a fan of Xandria? German symphonic metal/rock group, they sound pretty interesting.

Ashes is good. Illumination is also really good. Never heard of Xandria, I'll have to look into them.
