[Mr. Sinister]

Ah, how I miss you, Rutgers.

And your Fat Sandwiches.

[BachaloFan]

And... We're Back!

I missed you guys. I was afraid Rob and Bri would see the forums crash as an opportunity to quit the show, and I would forever be deprived of their witty rapport.

[Eric]

me-



I was a on again/off again poster at the old forum, which I discovered via Uncanny X-Cast. I was on pretty infrequently. In fact, I'm not sure what my user name was there. It was either Eric or wraith1701...

Anyway; I'm a die-hard Star Wars, Trek, and all-around Sci-Fi & comic fan. Been a fan of the X-Men since the late 70's. Living in Louisville, KY and planning a move back to Austin, TX.

Pleased to meet you.

You might want to get those pure white eyes checked then.

[Eric]

Haha! I need to get myself one of those helmets. That thing is AWESOME.

[Hartoke]

Just figure I would take this oppertunity and let everyone here know who I am, well as much as I wanna share. But will mostly stick with my personal x history. My uncanny love for the franchise began mostly with a couple of comics that my friend gave me from that point like im sure a lot of my fellow x casters. It was the epic Saturday morning cartoon that ran for 5 seasons needless to say I was hooked bub. So like any rabid fan I had to own anything x men and thru the generosity of my parents along with a small paper route i acquired comics toys and hell even bedspreads of the Jim lee artwork. So just a small setup here I am a young lad its saturday morning and after watching another populer DC animated program I had my Wolvie pillow, Jim lee Blanket, some comics, and about 80 x men figures even well the rare around here Morph never had a Blob but nothing my Marshmellow Man from Ghostbusters could'nt fill in as. And when the music hit at 10 you could imagine that I ran around screaming like a little girl with anticpation on what was about to be pure awsome. If your still reading I commend you. So now flash to today and 4 days ago what do I find but a podcast that is dedicated to rabid foaming at the mouth fans and this Forum that is to me Utopia but enough slobbering all over your genitalia. In those 4 days I have already caught up to episode 23 and plan on being caught up here in the near future. With that being said I just wanted to thank everyone who has kept this alive and strong not only to the creators but fellow fans who have been apart of this since day one. I will do my best to contribute not only to the forums but in anything x related. After all I do love a good debate. As for what I go by you could say it was an evolution all its own it started with just a play on the name Havock (Not really a big fan but always dug the name) so it was Harvock then it was Harvoke and now it is Hartoke which I do post on various things around the web so chances are you might have read or skimmed a comment I have made. Hey im the best at what I do and what I do isnt all that interesting. My only regret is I did'nt stumble on this earlier a mistake that I dont plan on making a 2nd time. So enough xpuns enough rambling nuff said I hope I survive the Xperience...!

[Slym]

Welcome to the X-cast forums Hartoke. Sounds like your love of the X-men began pretty much the same way mine did.

[ChromiumAgeCollector]

ChromiumAgeCollector finally making my way over. I was THE ChromiumAgeCollector, but apparently that name was too long for forum system....

[MJStarchilde]

welcome back old and new

[Seraphyn]

Rob here. Now and always Seraphyn. Super old timers may remember me from the CGS forums (I made all those crappy avatars lots of people used for a while) but I never really interacted in the x forums although I've been a listener from the beginning.

Hello anyway

[RockAwesome013]

Hi everyone! Brand new "poster" here, but I just listened to every single X-Cast from the very beginning, and after about a year or so, I'm finally caught up! It's really cool finally getting to hear about things that are going on RIGHT NOW as oppose to things that happened years/months ago. Now I gotta try to get use to listening to 1 show every few weeks instead of 1 every day!

I guess I'll share a little bit about my X-History. I started reading around the same time the 90s cartoon came out. I loved the cartoon, so I eventually made my way to the comics.

Eventually my comic book-buying habits became more and more scattered, especially after Age of Apocalypse. I do remember reading an article in Wizard Magazine about the changes that were going to be made to the X-Men (I'm talking about the now infamous Grant Morrison run), and the artwork and overall direction didn't appeal to me at all. I still preferred my X-Men in blue and gold I guess.

Fast forward to about 2 years ago.....I stumbled upon Whedons Astonishing X-Men trades at a bookstore, started reading it and I just LOVED everything about it. And how's this for IRONIC.....after that I read Morrison's New X-Men run, and I actually LOVED that too! I guess with age, I learned to appreciate good writing/storytelling as oppose to just pretty artwork, so it was much easier to embrace the Morrison run.

So at this point I was hooked. I managed to get caught up on all the important crossovers from House of M to Schism. The only books I haven't read are X-Factor and New Mutants, but based on the comments I hear on the show, I'm not in a big rush to start.

Right now I love Wolverine and the X-Men and Uncanny X-Force. I'm glad I'm not the only one who things Uncanny X-Men has been lackluster, but I think issues 10 and 11 weren't bad at all...maybe because of the AvX tie-in, which I am enjoying so far. Astonishing, Adjectiveless, and Legacy are hit-and-miss for me.

So that's pretty much it. Looking forward to more episodes of the X-Cast and geeking out with other X-Fans on this forum!

It's great seeing all the new faces. Welcome all.
