Howdy!

Hi there!
I've poked my head around here a few times in the past, but only as a few passing glances through the topics here and there (though I've browsed the main site extensively in the past); it wasn't until I had the random urge to just goof around in Eternal Blue Complete again the other day that a thought popped into my mind that caused me to sign up.
I know that activity is a bit slow around here, given that the series is a bit "long in the tooth" these days, and I can't even guarantee that I'll remember to check back every so often and remain active, but I'll at least make an attempt to keep conversations going.
As I'm familiar with message board etiquette, I've already read through all of the topics in Rules and Announcements, so no need to point me over in that direction. :] (Mostly standard stuff that I'm already familiar with anyway, but I digress.)
Let's see... some basic information about myself:
I'm not a die-hard when it comes to my love of the series (compared to some here, from what I've seen anyway) - I've beaten both SSSC (twice) and EBC (probably like 5+ times in total), and I've seen parts of Dragon Song and SSH, though I've not actually played them myself. (Dragon Song because I didn't enjoy the changes that they made to the mechanics at all, and SSH because I never owned a PSP.) I also know that Sega CD originals are vastly different/harder than the (Saturn/) PlayStation remakes, but I also don't own a Sega CD nor did I ever feel the urge to go through less than legal means just to play them.
One of my close friends first got me into the series when he borrowed EBC from one of his friends and was playing it while I was hanging out one afternoon. He happened to be right at the end of the Disc, but the disc itself was scratched and the ending cinematic(s) couldn't finish, preventing him from progressing onto Disc 2. Some time after this, I happened to notice that my cousin had both SSSC and EBC in his entertainment center and he let me borrow them both along with his old PSone (slim) and several other classic PS1 RPGs, and thus began my foray into Lunar.
I do own a small amount of merchandise for the series (outside of my copy of EBC - I don't own SSSC right now, as I always enjoyed EBC more), but nothing really spectacular: I own the (English) Hardcover guidebook for EBC (just because I enjoy the game so much - I've never actually used it to play the game since I haven't played through it again since I bought the guide) and I own a promo poster that has the artwork from the front cover of the guidebook on it - such a great piece of artwork.
So, uh, that's pretty much me and my ties to Lunar in a nutshell.
