It Wandered In From the Wastes
I'm a semi-talented guitarist. My English is pretty good for a Kraut. That's probably all. Well, I'm "good with computers". I'm a programmer.
I draw from time to time but I don't think I'm any good at that. I might get better with a little more practice.

Talents 
Shameless self-publishing
Good Parts:
- I know how to write a good resume
- Been playing computer games since 3
- Been owning people online since 8 (Quake 2)
- Been killing people in online FPS with high ratios/droves since 14 (16 kills to 1 death, etc)
- Very extensive experience of video games in all genres
- As a result of more graphically intensive video games, have learned how to assemble machines on my own. First computer was built when I was 6, and it took two weeks to complete due to my fears of scratching the motherboard while placing it into the chassis. The second one was built when I was 8, it took one week, process was faster than usual. Third was 10, took three days (heavy manual reading, etc). Fourth was 12, took one day. Fifth was 14, took 12 hours. The final one (and the one I am still using) was when I was 16, and it took 6 hours. (Flawless build this time, air flow was amazing, Core2 ran at 20C [2.4Ghz], 40C [3.2GHz] with stock cooler!) I am aiming for a build time of three hours with my next one
- Can write decently well (But probably not well enough)
- Can write speeches if need be (One-time bonus of +20% to the Speech and Barter skills)
- Fast learner (+5% bonus experience points, hell yeah!)
- Selective telepathy (You are thinking I am full of shit, see?)
- Extremely good memory (No one believes this, I won't elaborate
)
Bad Parts:
- Only embraced Fallout when I was 13, after giving up on it when I was 8 to play other games.. (A decision I truly regret, but hey, if I can do it, anyone can )
- Too much empathy (I care about other people's problems when I shouldn't, and my friends tell me that our modern capitalistic world will eat me alive and spit out my bones for use as toothpicks.)
- Bad Eyesight (Ruined by playing games on a CRT for a decade.. Hahahaha)
- My enjoyment of dark humor has led to a few awkward moments in movie theathers.
- Reverse ADD, I can only focus at one thing at once, two or more things at once and I get irritated. (Ex: I can't browse internet and watch TV, or listen to music and read.)
^ This applies to speeches as well. If I read from a sheet of paper to an audience, I will not remember what the fuck I just read, and will have to re-read it right after.
- Environment is very noticeable, and even if there's something slighty odd in my peripheral vision, I can't ignore it (Perhaps an instinctual paranoia?)
- My apathy for the educational system has resulted in grades of 55 (Failing, F) for all of my classes (as if they could put them any lower), but my interest in the actual material (history, english, etc) has resulted in 98's for all official (state and national) examinations. I scored a 2300/2400 on the SATs, but I've got a 55 average on my final high school report card. My college did not approve of this.
- Can't draw for shit (Wish I could
)
- Alec is my hero
- I fail hardcore at simple things like doorknobs, hot pockets, and baseball.
- Very detached in social situations, very hard to find common ground in small talk.
- When in a large group of people, I usually stay silent, even if the topic of discussion is something that I like, because I find that if I talk, everyone actually listens to me, and I am suprised when they do.
- NMA is the only place where I've found that people are remarkably normal, and supposedly we're all "insane".

(High Five)Also, you know those doors for convience stores / entrances where it usually says either push or pull? Ever slammed into the door when you were supposed to pull it?

I’ve been told that I’m very persistent, which is good when you’re working in consumer frauds or chasing after chicks.
I also have a pretty high alcohol tolerance for someone that weights 123 lb I can also chug down a 40oz in one sip if I prep myself for it.
Pretty good at networking as well.

You forgot to tell about your amazing abilities to differentiate several kinds of tightness.

It's good to have big friends. I was just a bit shocked as I'm 6'3" and 227.
Tape over the sign on the door that says "pull" and write "push" instead. Hillarity ensues.DarkLegacy said:Also, you know those doors for convience stores / entrances where it usually says either push or pull? Ever slammed into the door when you were supposed to pull it?
Knowledge of the German language is obviously not one of your talents. Unlike "Mr.", "Herr" is a whole word, not an abbreviation. You could use "Hr." but it's not very common.Zaron said:
i have learned to naturally conceal my knowledge that all people are dorks, so my friends say i am outgoing, lively and amiable.
i have another talent, which is a strange one: looking at a word of some length or hearing it, some synaptic connection tells me in an instant of how many letters that word consists. will be hard to prove on an internet forum, but works great when i am on a drinking binge in duesseldorf - always free beer when i am in the mood to show it off to some complete strangers in bars
the few people i really like know another talent of mine: if i really bother, i am able to kinda feel their mood and their intentions. what they say is, that they feel very safe and protected with me then. i use this talent when i have important business decisions and meetings, too, but not very often - it is extremely exhausting, and i am a lazy fuck.
i am very good with animals, lord knows why. i dont like dogs too much, but they seem to like me ... a LOT. i recall a leg-humping dog when i visited my 2nd gf parents back in the days.
alsoplustoo: i have NEVER read a "Hr." in a letter. might be an obsolete abbreviation from before the war or sth.
edit: arent talents something that exists from the start? so people, telling us you are good at carpentry has nothing to do with talents!

But it's something that makes you useful when everyone crashes on a deserted island and there's a bunch of tools and some planks. Whereas the people who post "I can read/write/doodle in the sand" would be first to get eaten.

My carpentry skills would be handy, as I could build a boat to escape.
Carpentry FTW.
