spadgy Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Hello. I'm a long time Lego fan (first set in 1984, Lego Club member pretty much since. At 35 I've still only got a Lego set from parents/wife etc. every Christmas since), and while I've never had a year without buying a few Lego sets for casual building, in the past few years I've become a furious Technic devotee. My other key hobby is really arcade gaming (tinkering about with soldering irons and arcade machine parts, chasing shmup high scores) and I learned what forum etiquette I have in arcade forums (big up the Shmups Forum crew!). My topic title here is a bit misleading; I still play too many video games and have worked in and around the video games industry for nine years, and love it. But I'm bloody adoring another obsessive hobby that - this time - doesn't mean to much screen time. Other than that I skateboard a lot, listen to lots of aggressive/pretentious/silly electronic music (breakcore, Balkancore, raggatek, speed techno, etc.), and I'm a bore about insects and birds. Love a bit of nature. And I'm as of fairly recently volunteer launch crew for the local RNLI lifeboat station. If my pager buzzes, of I run to help launch a massive boat! I definitely have some RNLI equipment-themed Technic MOCs planned! Great to meet you all! Quote
dr_spock Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Welcome aboard. What does RNLI stand for? Royal Navy? Quote
spadgy Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 Thanks both! Welcome aboard. What does RNLI stand for? Royal Navy? RNLI is Royal National Lifeboat Institution. I've sat over a keyboard most of my career, and I'm no mariner in terms of experience, but moving to right by the sea (I can see the lifeboat station from my house) I've got really involved, learned loads, and now I love all that stuff. RNLI is a charity; it uses no tax payers' money and covers water out to 100 miles all around the UK. It's great to be part of! Quote
spadgy Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 Thanks all! Lovely, friendly seeming place here! Quote
Chilly_Productions Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Welcome!, I would buy technic sets, but I don't have enough money to buy star wars, nexo Knights, various random sets I like AND technic. Quote
