Been a while folks! (Been years since I stopped modding, and it has been more than  a year since I visited).
I kind of miss this game, but I'm way too lazy to sort the files back to how they were.
Well, do people still play xml2?

And not to be off topic so I've started my Occupational Therapy degree last year! Been hard at studying preparing myself for med classes. Hoping to finish by 2015/2016 and then hopefully, I get to advance and make it to med school to be a doctor (in neurology or gastroenterology)
Happy new year everyone! (fingers crossed)

[Hobgoblin]

I studied litterature and i had to read so many books that now it is not really fun anymore..a little annoying xP

Without having studied literature, I know exactly what you mean! I used to read a lot as a kid, but having had to read literature novels for high school took the fun out of it, and then having had to read scientific literature for my studies made me not want to read books in my spare time anymore. That's how I ended up discovering comic books as a different medium for reading great stories.

Anyway, let me do one of these according to format (freely omitted and added stuff):

Name: Valentijn
Age: 33

Favourite bands/artists: Echo & the Bunnymen; Joseph Arthur; David Sylvian; Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry are the main four, but I like many many others. Music is as big a hobby & collection of mine as comic books.

Favourite movies: all movies by Wes Anderson, especially Rushmore. Most Marvel movies, especially Avengers, Thor, Spider-Man 2, X-Men 2, Iron Man 3 (I actually also liked several Marvel movies a lot which are tend to draw more negative reviews/feedback: Daredevil, Spidey 3, X-Men 3, X-Men Origins: Wolverine); Batman Begins (liked the 3rd one too... but I honestly do not think much of the Dark Knight!); Watchmen; LOTR triology; Serenity; the A-Team & more

Favourite TV shows: Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Angel; Firefly; Dollhouse; the A-Team; Red Dwarf; Flight of the Conchords; Mighty Boosh; Spaced; Peter Serafinowicz comedy stuff; Peep Show; IT Crowd; How I Met Your Mother & more
