Hello there everyone this is my first post here so I'm a little nervous right now. So I will start with some short, random trivia about myself.

My name is Mike and I have what people would call 'lower functioning Aspergers'. You can call me by my username (Its pronounced like Ice with a held 'c' (Sounds similar to I-sss.))
I am currently in college on my first course and am hoping to get into art & design to further my artistic skills.

My current interests including the following; Anime & Manga (Currently watching through When They Cry), Video games (Visual Novels are my favourite) Drawing, Music (I'm very 'colourful' when it comes to music) and philosophical thinking.

I hope I can fit in here and maybe make some friends along the way. I wish to have a great time talking with you all!

I hope you do too ;D

It's nice here :)

It's ok if you're lower-functioning - we've all had our difficulties here ;p

Just do your best; and try not to be mean ;D

I'm a little curious how "lower-functioning" you are though. I can understand if you're shy ;P

I think I messed up on that last part, I thought 'lower functioning' meant 'person less effected by' and not 'less functional person' haha!

But to be more specific on the problems, I have trouble with social cues and some 'Restricted and repetitive interests' as they say. Meaning that if I like a subject or topic it is likely to dominate my discussion.

To everyone else, thanks for the warm welcome!

VNs aren't very popular in the US, so I haven't found many D:

I've played through 999 and VLR, those are the only two I can remember off the top of my head...

Hello Iccc,

Would a game like "To the Moon" be considered a visual novel?

When you say "colourful" do you mean you have synesthesia with music?

I hope you like being on the forums.

You can blame the mindless drones that buy every copy&paste game of CoD for that :/

Ok then, but this will just be a couple of links. Be sure to check your PM's after this.

Hello there!

Sadly no, To the Moon is more of an RPG than a Visual Novel. Visual novels are usually a 'Pick you story path' kind of game or one with puzzles integrated into it. Of course I might be wrong as I'm not entirely sure on the subject myself.

Colourful is a term I (and others) use to mean 'Broad view' and 'Many different types'. But to answer your second question directly no, I don't place my music in any coloured fashion.

And thank you for the welcome.

Friendship with me requires you travel to the lands of Nickle Boxers and retrieve a Holy Jar of Peanut Butter.

Of course my nervous is brought upon by many things.
1. I have never been on a forum like this and my experiences with similar 'Mentally Different' people in real life seem to go pear shaped very quickly.
2. This site I found accidentally, due to the idea that many psychologists wished to rename 'Aspergers Syndrome' to 'Wrong Planet Syndrome'
3. I'm not good with other people, except online when everyone seems to be on an even playing field when concerning social interaction.

Thank everyone again for the welcome!
