Well, my name is Declan but I'm definately not going to tell you my last name
, I live on the South Coast of England in a small town called Bexhill, nothing really ever happens here so me and my friends tend to make our own fun
I'm 15, which I believe makes me (i think :/) the youngest staff member here :O before I say anything else I would like to apologize for my absence here at the forums and my lack of contributions to the magazine, I've been doing a lot of GCSE's (general certificate in secondary education) and they are brutal to say the least, which meant that I hardly had time to play the sims 2, but I'm finally finished, well atleast until November, so I can finally concentrate on my passion
anyway, back to the intro...
My
only contribution to the magazine was in issue 1, an article about wallpapers, it was my first time doing something like this so I was a little apprehensive but I think it turned out alright, thanks to Mac
I would LOVE to do writing for the magazine, because I have a passion for english and can blabber on for ages. (as you can tell
)
My favourite aspect of the game is decorating, as I get quite bored of playing families after a while, however I do have a sim at the moment which I'm concentrating on a lot, it's good because you can take her to the new store, park etc. you've just made and see how it looks in realtime...if that makes sense :D
I found out about the sims 2 in 2004 from a friend, I used to walk to school with him and he told me about all the funny things the sims say and do, I became more and more interested and finally decided to buy the game, and I've been hooked ever since :D however, I only started downloading in about 2006, it came as a bit of a shock to me that there was so much of it, and that I had no idea it was there until now lol. My favourite creators are Murano, simply because his stuff is AMAZING ! Eero because of the quality of his creations, Holy Simoly, Smith-Estate, etc. etc. but my favourite is of course MTS2, what a site !
My favourite colour is green but I'm also starting to like grey ! unusual aye
but I think that if you get the right shade of it, it can be really nice.
I recently got Photoshop CS3 for my mac and I really like it, but for simple editing I use good old Paint.Net
it's so easy to use a baby could do it !
But to be honest the only time I edit pictures is when I'm doing a painting, advertisement, sign etc. for my game. I've never tried meshing or creating objects/clothes because I know I'd suck at it lol.
Apart from The Sims 2 and english, I also have a passion for Silent hill, the games, the movie, you name it, I love it
Anyway, I think thats enough lol, can't wait to get working on this great magazine !
Declandabest.
