I heard about raocow from either Cloud8745 or ProtonJonSA, who both supposedly quit YouTube (Well, Cloud's got another account, don't know how ProtonJon's doing, though.). It was somewhere in April-May '09. Rao was playing RttC at that point, and after that, when he started LP'ing SMarisaW, I got introduced (read: addicted) to Touhou series.
I had heard about it, like, once, when Cloud did a short run on EoSD and PCB. That was somewhere in October-December 2008. It might be that Cloud also introduced me to ProtonJon. Cloud was, after all, the first LP'er/walkthrough-guy I found on the Internet.
It was around May '08 when I registered my first account on YouTube. I have no idea whether it was before or after I found about Cloud and LP's. Anyway, back then, I was playing Ape Escape for, what, fifth(?) time. I decided to search videos on YouTube about that game, and the first one I came across was Cloud's walkthrough of it. I don't remember which part it was, but it wasn't the first one. That's why I decided to watch first part of Rao's RttC playthrough, so I could remember my first video I watched from him.
That means my first game I owned (got for birthday present with my PS1 from my stepfather when I was 7), got me into the Internet for real, and even reduced my console playing. Now I don't even have a TV in my room, because I don't watch any channels and I don't even play console games. It was just wasted space.
I don't know how I remember these things.. Nowadays I seem to forget things really easily, that's why I sometimes need to jump up from bed just to write down a movie I could watch, or any other idea that pops in my mind before falling asleep, so I remember it still in the morning.
And no, I'm not new here, but I had a posted in the same thread in 'the rest' before it got purged and changed to 'the gazebo'. Figured might as well as post again.
I often return to my (recently written) posts to see that every little punctuation and capital letter is on it's right place. Often it takes a while before I even press 'Submit' to post what I've written, even if it was only a few line. Which means I use the 'Preview' -button a lot. Like now; I think I've pressed it more than ten times by now, and I'm still reading through my post. So, I like good grammar, but I don't judge you if you use... Actually, maybe I do. WRITE your goddamn words. Well, if it's IRC/IM/etc, then it's fine to shorten some words.
I'm selfish and jealous on the inside, but in public (and for some reason, on the Internet, too D:) I act like a polite gentleman. Saying "Thank you." when the cashier gives money back on the checkout, opening doors for other people, not being able to say my real, rude thoughts about a possible subject, that I don't like, and other similar, silly-for-this-personality, stuff.
If anyone ever recreates the 'Five Interesting Things About Yourself' -thread, consider this post in it already, as this post seemed to curve in the wrong direction.
