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:

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.

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.

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.

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

fredbass · 01-06-07, 01:05 PM

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.

dean_acheson · 01-06-07, 07:25 PM

I came here in 01 looking for news about SH2.

Iron Budokan · 01-06-07, 07:59 PM

I came across this sight through the UBI SHIII forum.

Chaotic42 · 01-06-07, 08:03 PM

I was looking for information on Silent Hunter. I thought I was the only person who still liked sub games.

I lurked for a while before creating my account. I don't post much, but I read quite a bit.

Deep-Six · 01-06-07, 08:36 PM

I just stumbled onto this forum by accident.

Enchanter · 01-06-07, 09:16 PM

I had been pottering around with the vanilla version for a while, but only joined up recently when I started having a few questions, and wanted a more intense gameplay. I immediately felt welcome in the forum, none of the bad etiquette of other places. Since then, I've been a busy 'ol Kaleun. I spend more time here than in my sub! Can't be too healthy, but hey, chicks dig it!

01-06-07, 09:26 PM

I'd been playing the stock game for several months, and had a question or three about weird things going on, so I'd logged onto Ubisoft and created an account in order to access the forums.

Once there I discovered *gasp!* this weird thing called 'mods'. How extraordinary!

After a while of experimenting with the minor ones, I decided that, having dipped my toes into the waters now, I'd check into the bigger ones. The one in particular I started with was RUb. I'm not sure exactly how I would up here, but it was a result of back-tracking trying to find where to get the files, etc.

Once here, I was amazed and delighted at the forum, and found it just as interesting to visit and lurk (and later on, participate) as it was actually playing SHIII.
