Default another new dude :)

i've been lurking this forums for too long so i guess it's time i finally introduced myself.

well, what can i say.. 24 years old, live in croatia, a lousy (and lazy) telecommunications student who should really be studying now

adventure games have been dear to me since my uncle introduced me to the secret of monkey island a long, looong time ago. i also like games of other genres, but there's something special about adventures that i can't really explain.

comics are my other big area of interest at the time and then there's music, 'normal' literature, movies.. you know, the usual stuff.

oh, and btw, my real name's not cobra nor is it hidden somewhere in my nickname
so to save you the trouble, it's oto (yup, just one 't').

well, nothing more to say for now than cheers everyone, i'll do my best to behave myself

Welcome aboard. Although I'm still waiting for a new poster to start a thread with "Allow myself to introduce...myself." That's give me a chuckle.

That is clearly an attempt at deception. You probably aren't even from Croatia, are you. If you were, you would have used a k,j,z, or v in your name. From this obvious error on your part, I have concluded that your name is actually an anagram for Brian S. Ocean, the long lost brother of Billy Ocean, the 80s-90s pop singer who brought us such great hits as Caribbean Queen, Loverboy, When the Going Gets Tough, Suddenly, and more.

Confess already. Nothing gets by us at this forum.

LOL! Welcome!

Croatians are germanophiles who cannot spell - case in point 'Oto'. Not all Croatian names contain k,j,z, or v.

Yeah right. I bet your name is Caras Boneni.

but seriously guys, thou bleweth my disguise already! i should've known better than to think i could fool people who play adventure games. yes, my true name is in fact okajazov.

btw, if i was ever to change it, i would probably go for les gustav, but i might also consider caras boneni, it has a nice romanian pornstar ring to it

Really? Ever heard of stereotyping for humorous intent? Of course, perhaps that is what you were doing with your spelling comment...

BTW, I am half Croatian, and my name does indeed have a V.
