Though... since this feels like a rather homey community forum board here, I suppose that I should at least have the courtesy to introduce myself before posting any more than I have. :3

I usually go by the username of 'Shiay,' though people can call me 'Jay' if they would like. Mostly because that's apparently a lot easier to pronounce than people trying to figure out how the heck to say 'Shiay' (it's pronounced 'shee-ey', by the way).

Most of the time, I am a lurker on the forums, generally only replying to things when I have something to say, or making a topic when I feel it's relevant or necessary. o: So, uh... expect me to be rather quiet a majority of the time? :3

Nice to meet you. Not much to say other then welcome and try not to be a low voice. In a community of sleep deprived people its best to talk loud. Un-less someones hung over.... But this is just text and talking aloud while writing/reading is kinda weird... But weird is good hear so you should yell what your reading! :D
Im a guy that wants to be cool, but knows that technically impossible for me because i have realized the barriers of my current reach and refuse to break them... or maybe im just not drinking enough orange juice...

Haha, I believe I'll fit in quite nicely. XD I'm generally sleep deprived more times than not -- running off of soda and my stubborn will to stay awake. XD I think I'll be able to fall a little more comfortably into discussing things with people here. :3 Everyone certainly is friendly enough. <3 So far that I've seen, anyways. XD

@Mindy29

Thank you~ It's something that my fiance drew for me while we were working on this group that we're running. XD I found the sketch on his computer and decided to colour it. Haha.

And thank you again~ I feel like I'm definitely going to enjoy being part of these forums~ :3 And cookies? Boy, I'll fit right in, and probably add onto those cookies since I like baking them. XDD

... Hehe;; Yeah, a lot of people seem to pronounce it 'shy-ay' at first. XD Even real life friends that read off the name. Pfft. Hahaha.

I don't know if you'll fit i-

I mean.

Welcome! Welcome, to Vidjah Gams. If you haven't noticed, we're all pretty friendly here - so feel free to leap in anywhere; we'll be more than happy to snatch you up into a conversation.

So you've dropped some hints here and there about yourself, but come on, Sheeee-eee-e-eee. Shiay. Tell us a bit more about yourself, eh? What sorta stuff are you into? Do you have a job, if so, what is it? What do you spend most of your free time doing?

You know, stuff we can start a conversation with. Stuff to work with. Stuff to flail our arms about as we smack our keyboards in eager reply.

@Kalthramis

XD Thank you for the warm welcome~ <3

Uhm... as for more about me pertaining to those things? Hmmm...

What sorta stuff are you into?

Drawing, mostly. There's not really a forum that I can drop my art into, it looks like. ^^; Though, I suppose I'll have to settle for putting my dA account somewhere in my profile -- or in my signature. For now, the ones that you can find are as stands:

Main: SinclairJournal
Sketch: Shiay (yes... Shiay is the sketch account, because I made a main before my new main, and Shiay afterward)
Group and OCT: ChannelerJaydin

Aside from that, I do enjoy cooking, gaming (obv), playing guitar, voice acting if i get a gig or can manage it, role playing with friends, swimming (only sport I can do, so why not...), LPs, creative writing, and sleeping when I'm not fighting to stay awake. :3

Do you have a job, if so, what is it?

I don't. :C I'm actually physically disabled and am ineligible for... well... pretty much any kind of job without a GED or college diploma at the moment since any job that I 'would' be applicable for are 'grunt work' jobs. So... I do freelance art and voice acting (though the latter is more of a hobby, but if people are willing to pay for my services, then yay :3)

So... that said, I'm actually looking to go back to get my GED so I can do what I planned on doing once I got into college -- and that was double majoring for game art design, and medical tech.

Though... the art major is because I love drawing and doing art, but I actually want to be happy with what I draw -- granted, drawing does make me happy, and sometimes there are actually things I draw that I feel proud of, but over time... that time being about two to three days... I end up disliking it.

Medical Tech was... a more permanent work solution choice after I was diagnosed with Leukemia (type ALL) and saw how cancer affected myself and kids that I was hospitalised with. I thought it would be a rather noble thing if I went to college to learn what I could and perchance get the opportunity to help further the research and development of a surefire cure for cancer. Well... if they don't make it before I get there, that is. ^__^

What do you spend most of your free time doing?

Drawing and gaming mostly, and if not that, watching movies of listening to music to get ideas for art and other things. My fiance is out most of the time doing his job and providing for us both while I do my freelance stuff or my LPs. He usually spoils me with games, though, since I'm home alone all the time -- though I don't think he's too worried now, seeing as we went out and adopted a kitty within the last four months to keep me company while I stay home by myself. :3

Other than that... if I get too bored waiting for some of my videos to render, and I can't draw or write, I generally get up and do idle chores around the house that aren't too strenuous on my body. Haha.

Took a glance at your art, and you have some nice stuff. I like it : D

You do voice acting? That's badass. I want to do that as a career myself, though I'm looking into Web Design to support me through the work gaps. Being at home, maybe you should look into programming and web design and the like? It's a stay-at-home job mostly that pays pretty well. If you take the time to learn the skill, and get decent at it.

What have you done voice acting in before? Any games? 'Cuz Texas has some pretty nice gaming companies. It also has Red and Russ around there somewhere. And some distant family of mine. And - well, a lot of stuff.

If you don't mind me asking, in what way are you physically disabled? Does it have to do with the Leukemia? Can't say I'm knowledgeable on that stuff, so, I don't even know if they could be related.


So what kinda games do you like? If they're PC games as well, a lot of us around here on Vidjah Gams are more than willing to play something with you.
You also mentioned something about videos; wanna elaborate a bit? Almost seems like you're taunting us with that shred of info. >: 3

Le cats. <3

Thank you. ; u ; I do my best with my art when I have the time. Most of it is sketch work these days, though. :C Don't really have the motivation to finish much, mostly because I don't know what medium I want to take up for the time being. XD It's either digital, or reintroducing myself to the traditional style of arts (mostly colour pencils).

While I have done voice acting, it hasn't been for game, unfortunately. I have done minor work with FUNimation as part of my Make-a-Wish back in... about 2008, I believe. It was Ouran High School Host Club. I haven't made much contact with them in recent times, though, that's because I haven't really had the time to contact them -- them being all the way up in Dallas while I'm here in Austin. Though, there are some places I could try out if I gave them a demo reel, perhaps. I know there's Troublemaker Studios (but I haven't seen them do anything since Spy Kids?), and then there's NC Soft (which may be possible thanks to having toured their studios as well when my Make-a-Wish was granted).

Since then, however, I've put my hat in the circle several times for those that are doing custom stories, or mods for things like Skyrim, Fallout, or something. :3

Hm... in the ways I'm physically disabled? Since I was prescribed steroids (strong ones, I may add :C) while undergoing chemotherapy to keep my immune system up, my doctors told me that I had a small chance of developing avascular necrosis -- well, I ended up being part of that small percentile. So technically, yeah... my AVN was a product of my having Leukemia.

Since then, I've gotten both my hips replaced, and a partial shoulder replacement (right - dominant), and my left shoulder is still afflicted with AVN. So... because of my hip replacements, I'm not allowed to exceed 180 lbs, and because of the partial shoulder plus the AVN afflicted left shoulder, I'm not even allowed to lift anywhere between fifteen to twenty pounds. Which admittedly makes me upset.

As far as games go, I love co-op games! :3 Things like Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2, Team Fortress 2, Killing Floor, Dead Island, Garry's Mod, Magicka, MineCraft, and Borderlands. If I'm flying solo... then things like Skyrim, Fallout, Assassin's Creed, The Walking Dead, Psychonauts, Soulcalibur, Devil May Cry, Kingdom Hearts, select Final Fantasy games, Pokemon... the list could go on. XD

Hehe... yeah... I do some LPs, and I'm a little new at it. I'll admit, I am a bit of a shy person at first, and I generally keep quiet unless I have something to talk about (and apparently, while I play games, I generally don't have much to talk about, sad but true). Like Cry, however, I do not like doing face cams, and will not do them -- but I will do vlogs if I feel what I have to talk about is more important than sitting down and idly talking about something while playing games.

I guess if you're interested, my channel is here --> http://www.youtube.com/user/freejayfly

I'm always open for constructive criticism. :3 Probably not so much about how I play my games, though. I play the way I want to play. XD And usually, that's with a stupid/reckless approach.

What did you do for Ouran? I'll admit I never watched farther than the first episode in English, though.

Are you active on the Fictional Games forums? I might have actually seem some of your stuff, if you are. I vaguely recall someone soliciting their voice acting, female, for custom stories and using a Skyrim and Fallout mod as a demo.

Glancing at your channel, seems you really just do it for fun. Which is good! I'm not going to lie; I didn't watch more than a few minutes of that recent Assassin's Creed one. But hey, maybe you can snag some viewers in your time here on the forums. There's a thread for Youtube channels in the General section, I believe.

A lot of people on Vidjah Gams have those games. As in most people who have a steam account have those games. So it should be really easy for you to find someone to play with. Just poke around, add some people, and offer your tag up, if you want.
Mmmm, Devil May Cry. Love that series - though I'm not too psyched about the new Dante in the up-and-coming release.

I don't show up till the later episodes -- 22, 24, and 25. The actual credited roll that I received, though, was Ayame. Which doesn't seem like much, to be honest. XD Since all she really does is gasp and give a shy laugh. Though, like I said, much of what I did was minor for FUNimation. The non-credited roles were either in memories, or, you know, just 'one of the girls in the crowd.' XD

I am not, to be honest. However, I do lurk the Nexus mod forums and see what I can do there when I have the time. Mostly, I'm on there for more mods for my games, though. = v = It's actually a really slow process, to be honest. Mostly because I seem to have either really bad luck in finding people that are actually committed to their mod, or just 'don't fit the part.' XD

Yeah, that's how it was going to be throughout the entire way. XD I was really excited for Assassin's Creed III, and since I had just gotten all the Assassin's Creed games off of a $44 bundle on Steam thanks to my fiance. XD; And maybe~ All I'm looking forward to doing is having fun and amusing people with my failures or my witty remarks here and there.

I'll offer up a Steam tag in my signature when I have the time to add it. As it stands, once I post this, I'll be leaving with my fiance to do some shopping. XD Though, I would definitely love to play all kinds of co-op games with people that are willing! :3 The more the merrier (especially in TF2 or Killing Floor).

I have to agree about the new DMC, though. I am going to remain on the fence about most of it. Mostly because I want to play the game first before I develop a formulated opinion about the entire game. Perhaps the story and game play will redeem itself, maybe not.

OHHHH THAT GIRL! WHOAH! That is AWESOME! =D I thought that character was quite amusing, really. XDD Being able to do minor work is still pretty cool! I'd like to do something like that, but I feel like I wouldn't be able to act out appropriately. XD I'm way better at expressing different personalities via typing n' stuff, so I roleplay instead. :P

Haha, it's not that hard to fall into once you get the feel for it, to be honest. I admit, however, that I was a little nervous at first. I mean, it was different -- standing in that recording booth and having several people looking at me through the viewing glass (including my mother XD).

Though, yeah... I have to agree. Role play is a lot easier, since writing doesn't require acting it out, but getting into the thought process of it for the time being. XD I do a lot of novel based role play with my fiance -- we're just now starting to get to that part where we LARP -- but thanks to it being new, neither of us can take it all too seriously. XD
