Hey welcome.

So you like computer software/hardware?
That's what I'm studying in school. It's pretty inserting.

Hobbies: Aviation,

So you're old enough to pilot a plane. Are you actually flying? I'd like to try flying a plane sometime, because it sounds like fun, but I also don't want to make a mistake and crash.

I learned about it through Ace Combat and the anime adaptation.

Was your first exposure to idolmaster those colorful idol planes in Ace Combat? I always wondered what people who didn't know anything about idolmaster thought about those designs.

Anyway, welcome, have fun here!

Thanks for the welcome. Looks like I'm in good company with the Chihaya fans eh?

Hey welcome.

Yeah, although I'm in civil engineering at the moment. That will change when this current semester ends and I change my major.

So you're old enough to pilot a plane. Are you actually flying? I'd like to try flying a plane sometime, because it sounds like fun, but I also don't want to make a mistake and crash.

I haven't had the chance to get behind the controls yet, so I'm pretty much just an enthusiast right now. I am planning on perusing my PPL later, possibly after college, when I have a bit more time and cash. So for now I just satisfy the urge with flight sims and airshows. ;D

I've worried a bit about making mistakes in flight, but the most reassuring facet flight training is always having someone up there with you. All the popular trainers, the Cessna 152, 172, Piper Cherokee, etc. all have dual control sets that allow the instructor to take control. Can't speak for myself, but a buddy of mine who trained on the 172 says it practically flies itself.

Was your first exposure to idolmaster those colorful idol planes in Ace Combat? I always wondered what people who didn't know anything about idolmaster thought about those designs.

Yup. They are very controversial in the community because of the stat boosts, which in its opinion broke what was already a massively imbalanced MP mode in AC6. Whether they liked the designs (most didn't :P) or not, pretty much everyone agreed that the perks the planes received were ridiculous. I'm not sure there's a single aircraft in Ace Combat that gets as much hate as the Miki Su-47.

Accoun, seeing them in concert last year was the crowning moment of 2012 for me. A couple friends who I game with introduced me and the music kind of stuck.

Lucky you. They never played here, so my best bet would be to see them in Berlin or Prague, methinks...

Ahh are you going to change to Computer Science or are you more in the hardware like Computer Systems?

Programming is mostly where my interest and prior experience lies, but I'm leaning toward computer info. systems.

Hopefully you're able to go see them!

Welcome!
I also like Rush a lot. The only concert I've ever been to was a Rush concert while they were on their Time Machine tour. My favourite songs by them are probably YYZ and Fly By Night.

And I'm guessing by your picture that you like Puella Magi Madoka Magica? I haven't seen it myself, but my friends seem to like it a lot, and I plan to watch it soonish.

Welcome to the forums and enjoy your stay!
I'll be honest, I bought Ace Combat 6 just because I heard of the Im@s dlc's, but I ended up enjoying the game too :P
I was a bit disoriented when I used Ami and Mami's planes though...

tRPGs, eh? Any preferences?

And concerning Computer Science, there's no end of cool stuff to get into. So many specialties. Here's hoping you find yours.

When I first went into school that was my mindset but the more and more I learn about computers and what makes them tick the more and more interesting it all is to me. ^_^ Like Cael said I hope you find your special interest.
