Shameless self-advertising eh?:D
Let's hope some more people join us (and let's hope I finally get an idea for my blog).

Hi there,
first of all i'm french so excuse my langage =)
(and don't reply "i'm american so excuse my president" a lot of people already did it ^^, OFC it's a joke ! don't be offended, i really don't care about politic stuff -_-')

So here is the thing, i'm french and I follow hellforge's writings since one year.
Why ? Because, in my country, without talking about all the internet troubles we have to deal with, there isn't a lot of really good websites, like this one, where I can find good ideas, answers and questions about game that I like ^^.

So Sol, and other writers on hellforge, I read your articles since a long time and now you've just convinced me to subscribe !
But i'm affraid that i wont post anything until people need french's articles.
(Anyway, everything happen in USA or in Japan, before to happen in France or Europe in general...)

PS : Once again, sry for my langage :/ ; and if you haven't understand a world, feel free to directly ask for me ! (but don't forget the jetlag :p, i'ts 10 PM here )

We can still understand you perfectly, and that's what counts, unless of course there are grammaticians around here.

Sorry to be the fly in the ointment, Hanz, but would you really want someone writing for the New York Times where English is their second language? Given we are not the New York Times, of course, but just an example. I'd suggest, Yoo, that you write up an entry in French and maybe get in contact with someone around here who understands French so they can translate it for you. That way your quality of writing is retained.

Of course I'm aware my English level doesn't allow me to write for the NY Times, as you call it.
I come here to find news, ideas and coments on actuality that I like, because articles are well written and very easy to read, even for non-english people.
And first of all I realy don't want to lower the average here ! So don't worry, I will not pollute this blog by posting on it with such langage.

Just like Yemen said "I make the userbase look bigger" ^^.

Don't let Agamenon intimidate you :p

We welcome people from all countries, and you level of Enlish is much better than a lot of people I see posting on the internet :)

Feel free to post blogs or forums, as we are not a site that discriminates just because of a few gramatical mistakes, which from reading your posts are very few anyway...

Although I'm new to this site, and so I probably can't speak for everyone, I really hope the language barrier doesn't stop people like Yoo from posting here. One of the things that I found so interesting about this site, and which prompted me to join it, is the fact that people here seem to be so friendly and accepting. So Yoo, PLEASE, if you want to say something say it, the site is all about participation. It's a community, and a very accepting one. Besides, you are typing English MUCH better than most of the people in my online COLLEGE classes. God, you should see some of those idiots...

Yeah, still having the noob problems. Why did my post end up between two other posts 3 days older than it?

I do find it awesome !
If I have to write something, because it's too awful to be ignored, I will (like DBZ Evolution which opens on the 1 of april in france, no it's not a joke, just a strange coincidence with the date...).

But I promise I will re-re-re-read myself :P

Thx for all your cheers ;\

Alright, I guess I may as well join, I've been viewing the site for long enough.

I'm Yemen. I come from Australia, and, believe it or not, play video games. And indoor soccer, but I suck at that, so forget about it.

I don't know how much of a positive contribution I can make, but hey, I make the userbase look bigger.

YOU'RE Australian too, Sp3tz? Lol, I never knew. I remember Oak was, but I don't ever recall you mentioning it.

It's an STD wave, but it's late at night, so it'll be capped at 25 waves for two hours.

Lol yeah I am, although I wasn't born here, but I've been here 12 years now so close enough ;\

And I vote you move states just for the writing contest so we are guaranteed a win from this site ;\

Welcome everyone! I really can't express how lucky we all feel to have such fun, insightful readers. We work hard to make this place feel accessible to the whole gaming community, because games should be fun, first and foremost. I don't say it enough, but how great is it that we have such a diverse, international community here?! I wish I could be one of the hip Aussie crew :(

Hi! Your article forced me to join, too. You should go advertise some healthy food or something.. really.
I have been around reading since downfall of Hellgate. It's a great source of game related information and most of a blogs are just really fun to read. I'm looking forward to read more great stuff.. especially Diablo related. I also like the way how are you keeping track of Blizzard developers (Flagship, Runic games, Cryptic, ...) and post everytime they have something new.
Keep up good work. See you around and also, pardon my English.

Welcome everyone.  And if you direct your attention to my avatar you can see I brought some tacos.  *Looks in Sol's direction accusingly at the lack of a taco emote*
