@Yuracye: A person after my own heart. I've chosen the Fire starter in every generation, save for picking Blastoise and Torterra. (Yes, I know, no Charizard. It may be archetypical, but... I dunno. I prefer Blastoise for some reason. I guess I'm a sucker for cannons. *eyes Genesect*)

For a while I built a fairly large collection of dragon... well, everything. Statues, posters, calendars (which I would cut out to make more posters), a glass chessboard, etc.
Now, I don't really collect much (do tabletop gamers count? XD), though I've slowly been acquiring more and more Zelda stuff (mostly posters and clothing). I've found that that's apparently a socially acceptable nerdy thing in a wide range of circles, so it's a good pseudo-compromise of my principals. :P

But... but... Psychic and Fire are the best types... D:
(Clearly, one or the other can solve all of life's problems. :P)

I'm an atheist, myself. I grew up in a family where two generations prior was heavily religious, but the one just before me was not as much. So, while I was baptized Catholic, I never went to church, or anything like that. But, I was raised knowing people who were religious.
I personally don't believe that there are any higher powers, but, for those who do, it's fine. As long as people don't try and impose their own beliefs on me, then I'm fine with whatever they choose to believe - that goes with everything, really. Religion, politics, whether a food is delicious or not... As long as you aren't forcing things onto others, then you should be free to believe what you want.

Ooh, that is nice. *scribbles notes*
...is this above or below the need for Fairy Dragonite? :P

Except, if we're discussing Ultra Sun and Moon, maybe it's not the best place for me. I'm still trying to go in blind. :P

I'm procrastinating, mostly. I really have some writing I need to get done for RPs, but, on the other hand... just browsing stuff is so much less work. :P

@cnts: I'm very lucky in that I have good impulse control. And tend to think about if I reeeeeeaaaallllyyy[ need something before buying. I know it can be hard, but, it's a good life skill to have. Don't be afraid to have a talk with yourself.
On the other hand, nice things....

2845. Or 1937. Depends on how nice my browser is feeling. *shakes fist at internet explorer*

@cnts: I guess the secret is to never, ever buy anything.

Hi there, I also enjoy D&D. Admittedly, I've only ever played 4th edition, but I devoured all the books. The few games I got to play were always enjoyable. I know that there are many people who started with 3.5 or earlier don't consider it "real" D&D, but I like it just the same.
My favorite classes are Paladin and Sorcerer - although Swordmage is pretty cool. I don't know if I could pick a favorite character of mine, although the last one I did - a wise-cracking shardmind (living crystal person) sorcerer - was pretty fun. My least favorite characters were probably all the other players' Chaotic Stupid ones.
I played a few on an actual tabletop, and then a oneshot on roll20. For the tabletop, sadly, I was usually the GM. Yay, cat herding...
@Valyndria: While it is true that 4th edition tends to have a much smaller player base, it does exist. In addition to looking on roll20, I would point you to the "Giant in the Playground" forums. They have what is probably the most active base of 4e players in the internet, and could probably give you suggestions of where to look to find a 4e game. As a note, I've found that anyone who was introduced to D&D via 4e tends to love it. So, don't listen to those people who say your books are useless. :)

I'm a big fan of Let's Plays, since I rarely have the time or money to spend on games myself. (It's a lot easier to watch videos over your break at university than it is to lug around a tv and console, after all.)
The Runaway Guys and Tom Fawkes are the biggest ones that I watch most of what they put out. I'll watch ProtonJon's streams when they're uploaded to YouTube, but I don't tend to like the other Guys' solo stuff - although Chuggaa's Coliseum LP was how I got into them in the first place.
I'll watch Game Grumps and Markiplier more sporadically, if they're playing something that I think might be interesting, but I'll pass up a fair bit of their content.
Recently, I've discovered PBG's Hardcore series, so that's been an interesting watch.
One that I do follow, and would be much remiss to mention, is a much (much) smaller channel, LaZodiac. She does a lot of Zelda LPs, but also miscellaneous other ones (Super Mario Sunshine is my personal favorite), Patreon requests, and weekly "Taste Of"s, where she showcases introductory snippets of games. She interacts a lot with her viewers via threads linked in the descriptions, so that's always nice. Check her out!
