Hiya! I'm Lain, and I guess I'm not very new anymore, but I haven't introduced myself yet, so I'll get right to it!
First off, "Lain" isn't my real name, but it is the name of an anime character I like. Actually, I'd recommend you watch Serial Experiements Lain if you have the time because it's a neat anime. Anyway, though I use the handle "Lain," I'm nothing like the character. But that bit of information does shed some light on what type of things I take interest in - The Internet and anime.
I've actually been doing forums for quite a while now. I believe I started when I was fourteen or fifteen years old, and I definitely feel I've grown as a person thanks to my experiences online. Right now, I'm a currently a member of eight different forums, three of which you may all be familiar with: Wii U Forums, MLP Forums, and 3DS Forums. I use a different handle in each forum, so if you see a Lain in the other two, it's not me.
Anyway, I joined this forum because I'm interested in the Wii U, and I feel that now was a great time to join as opposed to E3 2011. Wii U news is mostly limited to rumors and rumors, but E3 2012 and a couple of other events are on their way, so this place should become more active with discussion as the days pass. I also prefer small forums, so there's that. But although my joining here is mostly because of the Wii U, I'd still like to talk about everything video games 'cause it's a huge hobby of mine. Hopefully, I'm not the only one who feels that way.
Outside of video games, I'm a pretty big fan of K-Pop, hence my current avatar (which will change kinda often haha), and the gif at the top. I get a lot of flack on other forums for this fandom 'cause apparently K-Pop music sucks, but I really don't care about that. And although K-Pop is a huge fandom of mine, I can totally dig other genres. I actually do appreciate any new recommendations, so feel free to share anything :3
I believe that's all I want to share. If you have any questions, you can ask them over here or over at the IP Chat if I'm ever in there. So peace!
