Title: Hello from Greece
Post by: Plink on April 08, 2009, 07:41:07 AM
Hello to all fellows here :D

i'm new to the site and the the pc engine world and thought i should say a hello to all from sunny Greece :D

I currently own a turbo duo-r, a jap pc engine and a turbografx 16, as well as a 128mb neo cart and some jap hu cards :D

I also have a wide collection of other retro consoles, with my biggest love being the vectrex :D

glad to be here ;)

Hi there Plink,
I'm also new to these boards and it's nice to see a fellow Greek here.  :)
May I ask, from which part of Greece exactly?  I'm originally from Ithaki.

Thanks for that link.
I'm gonna have to brush up on some of my Greek though. I've been staying in South Africa for the past 15 years, so I'm more Afrikaans than Greek at the moment. :lol:

xaxaxa it is obvious you don't really understand greek...what you wrote is something like
"Is there at least any meaning from the speaking fishes, we don't really understand greek" :p

For those interested in the above pearl of wisdom, it goes something like this:

"Are you perhaps not Cuban with the breasts of a dog"      :? :lol:

For a Grecian and a South African, you two sure do write a lot like an American from New Jersey.

Just for the record- even if these two guys aren't nin- though it's definitely his m.o. to create two recent accounts and have a conversation with himself to pretend it's two separate people- he's done it before with YT accounts- but if these guys aren't him- I'm sure that at least a HANDFUL of recent accounts are- just judging by the influx and the account names alone.  You didn't think this guy would just go away, did ya's?  You'll be dealing with dozens of simultaneous Nintega accounts before you know it.  "Bacteria" indeed.  What other troll would name himself Bacteria and just sit there hovering over shoutbox before logging off and creating another account one minute later- then another- ad infinitum? 

Wait- let's just... ignore him...

How exactly does an American from NJ write?

Just for the record, I'm in the Florida Hills Johannesburg area of South Africa.
