    Hello everyone, nice to meet you all (I assume). I'm going by name; PulseSound, currently living in sweltering Australia, so yes, I love Ben Mendelsohn.

    I'm not sure what has taken me so long to sign up to a site like this, I've been a life-long passive Star Wars fan who would watch all the movies, get the toys as a kid, but mostly, play all the videogames. That's where my love for Star Wars really shined, in the virtual world.

    Now with the main-line franchise revival leading to a new Star Wars film every year, the Force has come alive in me and I can't get enough. So I'm going all-in and using the cannon reboot as a great jumping on point to the EU, a previously intimidating world that now seems obtainable to keep on top of not to mention delving into to The Clone Wars series (to be followed by Rebels) and keeping up my strong Star Wars region; the videogames! With KOTOR & Galaxies on the iPad, SWTOR on the PC and Battlefront & Lego Star wars on the console. So I've totally be no-lifing Star Wars over the holiday season with all the sales going on enabling me to buy way too much and feel like I'm getting a good deal.

    So I'm looking forward to immersing myself even further via talk with the community about games, movies, books, TV shows and hopefully dabbling in some fan-fiction (if I can stop comparing myself to the top-tier and find my work coming up short).

    So, if you made it through all that, I hope it's still nice to meet you all!

    Well, welcome to the Boards at last, PulseSound. ;)

    We're glad to have another enthusiastic fan around these parts and you'll find many areas for each of your interests here. :D I'll get a link to each area in just a second.

    Star Wars Community aka SWC ~ For general Star Wars discussion and fun

    Communications ~ In case you ever have any problems or suggestions for these here Boards.

    Star Wars TV ~ For discussing the shows

    Stars Wars In Depth ~ For a talk about each of the Star Wars movies, though there are also separate sections for each trilogy too

    EU Community aka EUC ~ For talk and fan clubs regarding the various aspects of the EU

    Games ~ For that love of video games you clearly possess, here is where you want to go

    Fan Fiction Resource ~ A place for the writers to talk casually or discuss ideas

    Role-Playing Forum aka RPF ~ As an added bonus for your hint at possibly writing, here you can partake of written rpg games, like telling stories through a created character of yours. I heavily advise checking some out to get the idea before jumping full in

    ****
    The boards is a big place and there is much more than these, but felt these might be the most pertinent to what you described. :)

    Hey PulseSound,
    I'm also from Australia (from the best state: Victoria.) Fun fact: my grand father was in a play with Ben Mendelsohn and used to drive him to acting lessons (apparently he's not very nice though.)

    I also love video games (ESPECIALLY KOTOR!!!)

    If you ever have any questions don't hesitate to PM me:)

    Welcome aboard, PulseSound! :)

    I've seen you got wonderful suggestions already, so there's not much to add. Just one thing I ask you to keep in mind:

    If you like to reply to a certain post, often it's not needed to use the reply-function (especially when the post is at the same page as your answer). Unnessary quoting even make threads harder to read - think about reading at small screens like mobile phones. But there's a cool workaround: tagging! Just add an @ infront of ones username (like Skiara) and the person you tagged gets a notification similar to the one that he/she would get when he/she gets quoted. If quoting is really needed, then it helps a lot to reduce the text to the words that you really need. This way everything stays readable. Thanks! :)

    Have lots of fun! :)

    Best-state-resident here too! Wow, that's an awesome little bit of info! I actually just started re-playing KOTOR on the iPad port, pretty great.
