Last year's turnout was great. With 10 slots, hell, I expect an even better one. Good luck, everyone!

*Imp Zone President Black Baby Goku addresses the crowd*

My fellow gamers. The state of our sub forum is cool and good. Our stocks of one liner jokes and eight second youtube links have never been higher. Ironic anime viewing is at all time high. And our Expeditionary Force into the MMO HMO subforum has had astounding success rooting out pedophiles. A big thanks to Chief Justice Eonwe for that one, I'm gonna put his name is for Guild Leader!"

*crowd chuckles*

On a more serious note however, our sub forum is not without challenges. Participation is down. Half of our threads are only a single page. The memes have gotten stale. We can only gawk at that Portal cosplay for so long. We need to get fresh again, and I'm not talking Subway here. *crowd chuckles*. I intend to propose to the Imp Zone council that we accept, without delay, TEN new posters to the subforum.

*gasps from crowd*

This is my bold vision. We must grow the sub forum, or soon posters will be running from this stale material faster than Mario from a bullet bill. This is an artists rendition of the Imp Zone, rendered here as a desert hovel town, should we do nothing.

*flips page on stage presentation easel which has been there the whole time I guess*

I'll start with what I hate about gaming right now: Theres just too many drat good games out now, I dont have the time to play them all. The creators of myst just released a new game?? holy gently caress! I want to play that, but Im also playing the sh*t out of some civ 5 right now, and civ 6 is just around the corner. Dark souls 3 dlc was announced and I knew right then that it was going to be incredibly epic, and then they surpassed my expectations with a bad rear end snow setting, the best areas of all the from software games. I look at all these awesome games and Im thinking to myself, I want to play them. I want to game.

Good start, gamer

I would like to try out for this elite club.

I mostly play MMOs and mobile games. Most recently I've been doing a content tour of Wildstar, and also playing a ton of Monster Hunter Generations.
I did 4 years at DigiPen in the BSCS/GD program, and spend my non-gaming free time working on small Unity games. I also worked as a photoshop monkey at Google for a while, so I tend to do a lot of photomanipulations and dumb avatars etc.

Welp that's my post thanks for reading.

Show us the avs

Goofus: Yeah, I make avs. Where are they? I dunno, I'll try to dig one up I guess...

Gallant: Hello, everyone. Here are some avatars I have created for all of you as a token of goodwill.

Good answer, but I think lyle is the only person in IZ who was actually alive when that movie came out so that's not a prerequisite for liking Talking Heads

Here is my submission. It's my impression of a No Man's Sky hater...

*extremely tei voice* this thing sucks. i played it for 100 hours and it was entertaining, but actually, its very bad. also it is less of a game than another game even though "game" is not something with differing values and is just a descriptor of a medium. dont play this game, which isnt a full game, that i spent over 4 days playing.

Maybe you should try impersonating a good poster

Depends on a few things: One, if it's LE. Two, if it does more than an amiibo should. And three, if I actually owned a Wii U.

So no, I wouldn't. But I might just on looks alone, assuming it's like... reasonably priced.

Look, I know, we all love reading the Imp Zone, but the posts aren't fully funded by government grants. In fact, over 70% of the posts are made by users like you. Without your support, the Imp Zone cannot continue to have quality posts.
