OT: How did you guys get to be here?

stabiz · 01-06-07, 12:56 PM

Its so long ago now, I really cant remember, but I think I was googling for mods, and came to the subsim frontpage. In there I found tons of starnge modifivcations that seemed way to complicated for me, but somehow I started trying some of them out.

After a long period of not playing, I saw a pic from The Grey Wolves at a Norwegian gamer site, and that was it. Since then I have been tormenting you.

So, what about the rest of you?

Pretty similar really

Gave up the stock game ages ago after a very short time of playing
Was actually looking for RTW mods whem blundered into here
Been stuck here ever since

Oh if only I had looked at the next link instead :rotfl:

Occasionally I'll look thru the gaming reviews to see whats out there when I'm looking for something different and new. About a year ago I read the reviews for SH3 which seemed pretty good and from there I ended up coming here to get some further info about it. I eventually became hooked and have been here ever since.

AVGWarhawk · 01-06-07, 01:07 PM

Same as Bigboy. Played the vanilla version. Got bored with it. Had seen mods here but they were just a all over the place and did not work well together. I went on to play IL2. I came back to SH3 because it has been about a year. Dropped by here and had seen GW 1.1. THE SUPER MOD! ONE STOP SHOPPING MOD MOD OF ALL MODS!!!!!! After reading what it offered and was sporting a major woodie over it, dropped it in and have not left since. GWX has made it all that much better. My X52 joystick is growing weeds

I came across this site back when I first got SH2. I downloaded some mods off it but never bothered to join or even look at the forum. When I saw that SH3 was coming back out, I searched around for more information and rediscovered this site. Knowing it was pretty cool from SH2, I joined the forum and have been visiting here on and off ever since.

SubConscious · 01-06-07, 01:39 PM

I stumbled across this site before I played SH3. In fact, I had just ordered it from Amazon and decided to go out looking for updates, new campaigns, and tweaks. This site has been fantastic - a wonderful resource of historical and game information, as well as a user group second to none in terms of helpfulness.

Thank you all for making SubSim what it is - an outstanding place to learn, play, share, and laugh.

i was directed here by someone very helpful on the SHIII forum on Gamespot.... i really enjoy lerking around on here reading the wealth of information

_Seth_ · 01-06-07, 01:47 PM

I have known about Subsim for a while, but didnt start "using" it until i bought SHIII.. Was a "mod lurker", as the most of you..

AG124 · 01-06-07, 02:12 PM

Shortly after buying SHIII, I decided to search the internet to see if there were any mods I could find to enhance it, as I had done earlier with Star Trek Armada II (I was particularly interested in new ships, and especially new merchants). After finding this site, I eventually began building ships instead and am now more interested in modding than in playing. Ironically, I didn't really even expect to find any mods at all for the game, let alone getting involved in modding myself.

Same thing just that I never post anything till I heard about GWX and since my comp brok down once a while I cant use my comp so I have to use my bro's comp to look in the forums.

Jimbuna · 01-06-07, 02:35 PM

A bit like Seth...been playin most of the sub sims for what feels like an eternity...knew about this sight but never became 'active' till I got SH3.

Think your sig looks great Seth

Von Hinten · 01-06-07, 02:54 PM

I honestly don't remember when exactly I stumbled onto this site. When I got SHIII it was (and still is) my first serious submarine sim and if I recall correctly I was looking for updates for the Improved U-Boat mod back then.

What I do remember is that from the very beginning of me being here I felt right at home, not in the least bit because of the very warm and friendly atmosphere over here within these forums. That's something special and it's something I had not seen before or since on any major forum I visit.

You guys are sweet!

stabiz · 01-06-07, 02:57 PM

Yeah, I think its fairly okay to state that sub-simmers are more likeable than other gamers.
