Hi folks,

Since I am one of the new Underground editors, I figured I should drop by this forum and say hello. My name is David Gilbert and you might know me from the "Reality on the Norm" crew. When Evan Dickens approached me and asked me to write for the AG underground, I figured only an insane person would accept that responsibility. So, naturally, I accepted that responsibility. Stay tuned for my first review tomorrow!

-Dave

Hi Dave, welcome to The Forums!

(Nothing else to say, really, never read Underground much....)

bigjko · 09-10-2003, 10:32 AM

Welcome to the forums Dave, look forward to seeing your review. It can really be hard to know what to play out there in the amateur scene. It's just so much.

SamandMax · 09-10-2003, 12:22 PM

Welcome to the forums Dave. I've seen you around the AGS boards, you should fit in around here.

remixor · 09-10-2003, 01:04 PM

Yo there DG. Good to see an established AGSer manning the Underground department. I'll definitely be looking forward to your work.

Tom_K · 09-10-2003, 02:46 PM

Welcome Dave! Nice to have someone with experience to direct the spotlight on those amatuer games out there that deserve it.

***tabacco*** · 09-10-2003, 03:12 PM

Hello Dave, welcome aboard!

Zygomaticus · 09-10-2003, 05:21 PM

Hey Dave!

Hey everyone else

Good to be back

ragnar · 09-10-2003, 07:59 PM

Hello Dave, is Dave there? [Apologies to the League of Gentlemen]
I wish you a long and happy stay at Adventure Gamers, we're all a bit mad here, no doubt Evan will warn you away from the dangerous ones. I hope to be in contact with you as we get our first game, The Curves of Danger ready for release.

Dylan_Dog · 09-10-2003, 10:56 PM

seems like a trend so i should say hello as well.
Hello DAVE!!!!!!

twifkak · 09-11-2003, 02:10 AM

Tamara · 09-11-2003, 03:19 AM

Hey Dave, welcome here

Everyone who hasn't already, go play his games, they're great

I'm his unofficial fangirl, incidentally

Dave comes from the AGS community...I think he's got nothing to worry about

And yeah, as Tamz said, go play his games!

Ginny · 09-11-2003, 07:01 AM

Welcome Dave! I know you from the AGS forums

.

Btw, I can't seem to recall, did you make "Purity of the surf?" I really liked it

Looking forward to your articles, will be really interesting I'm sure. What type of articles will you write? Will you write design articles?

DaveGilbert · 09-11-2003, 07:39 AM

What a grand welcome. Thanks everyone!

Tamara: Hm. So now I've got a fangirl. I've never had one before. Do I need shots for that?

James: Yes, definitely get in touch with me when you finish your game.

Ginny: Yep! I wrote the RON game "Purity of the Surf." I'm happy you liked it. :-D

Remixor: Right, we have lots of experience dealing with mad people.

Till next time,

-Dave
