[Walter44]

Hello, fellow Oddworld Inhabitants!
I've had an account on this board for years, but it seems that I...forgot. Funny how things slip your mind, eh? Well, I'm gonna try my very best to be an active member of this board. So...maybe I should tell you who I am and such, right?
Well, on the web I'm mostly known as Walter44 or Valtharr. I'm currently 18 years old (going towards my 19th birthday in December) and I live in Germany. I play Oddworld pretty much since I play video games which is pretty much since I can think...or about ten years or so. I started wit Abe's Exoddus which was one of the games I kind of "inherited" from my cousin when I got my Playstation. I always like telling the story of how I got into it, because I kind of got intrigued by Oddworld, before I even played it. Heck, I was even kind of afraid to play it. Because, you know, I was 8 and the box said it was for people of age 12 and up and there was this strange green man looking at me with his creepy eyes. But I always read in the instruction manual and looked at the pictures of these creepy, disgusting but also pretty cool creatures. So one day, I come home from school and my little sister is playing it! From that moment on, I thought "Heck, when she can play it, I can do it too!" And that's how I got into it. Later I also got AO and MO and I still have to play through Stranger. I think Oddworld kind of influenced me in more than one way. It was the first time I was confronted with such creativity outside of the regular Fantasy-clichés and also the first time I was confronted with such beautifully disgusting creatures. Also, it kind of introduced me to stealth gameplay. I still enjoy playing things like rogues and thieves and assassins and such.
Besides Oddworld, I also enjoy other video games, comic books, Pen-and-Paper-RPGs, TV Shows etc. I consider myself a geek, a Whovian and a Brony (please, no hate, okay?)

So yeah, that's pretty much me. If you happen to have any kind of questions, feel free to ask!
