I am relatively new here--about a week or so--and I thought I'd give an intro. 

For all intents and purposes, my name is ShadyDealings23; friends just call me Shady, but since I don't know you all yet, Mr. Dealings23 will be fine. lol

I found this site while searching for a way to play Pokémon Red online.  I used to play it when I was a kid and I had wanted to try it again. I was glad to find that this site had A LOT of other games from my past like Ninja Turtles in Time (SNES) and Ren and Stimpy: Vidiots (SNES) and more. It's been pretty awesome here and I look forward to continue my gaming experience.

It is nice to meet you, Mr. Dealings23. also, I hope you enjoy your stay here, and actually post more than just in this thread. We normal users love to see the new users posts. It makes us feel good, because we might get some new competition.
Anyways, you can just call me thing, since nobody calls me thing1 anymore, except to summon me. Do you have any favorite books? Game Series, both new and old? Got any hobbies?

When I saw the title of your introduction , I said "ah, a fan of Mario", well even if you don't mention it in your favorite games, I suppose it's a reference to the famous plumber

Anyway, nice to meet you Shady and welcome to Vizzed Board. Please, enjoy your stay, have fun and feel free to ask if you have any questions

Thank your both for the warm welcomes.thing:I do have some favorite books/ series.  I enjoy dystopian books, so most of my reads are of that nature.  Right now I'm finishing up the last of the Avery Cates novels by Jeff Somers.  It's set in the crumbling future, one world order type of deal by ruthless cops. Avery Cates is a gunner, gun for hire and manages to get mixed up in plots to take over the System, android uprisings, a plague of flesh eating nanobots and global civil war. Good reads. I'm also reading Matterhorn by Karl Marlantes. It's about the conflicts and struggle between the soldiers in Vietnam. I've enjoyed reading it, but it's more slow paced compared to the Cates books.  If you're interested, I can refer you to more books. Hobbies include graphic design, reading, and gaming. I'm currently addicted to Battlefield 3 for the PS3.  The battlefield series is the only franchise that I've followed more.  I had Vietnam for PC and I bought BF2: Bad Company--which got more really into the series--and 1942.  Then I ended up getting BF3.  I'm looking forward to getting Arkham City since the first was really good. Other than that, I can't really think of many series I play.  At least not the traditional, older games like Mario, Metal Gear or, Final Fantasy. laian: Yes, it is a reference to the mustachioed man of the pipes.  I'm not a die hard fan by any stretch, but I enjoy playing the games. Sorry to disappoint. lol. I do have a question.  I use a Mac to play the games, but I've noticed for Pokémon, it won't let me open a saved game. I can load it like normal, but the controls won't work.  However, it works fine on a PC. Where can I go to get help? I don't want to post a redundant thread. I'm not sure where to start looking to be honest; there's a lot to filter through. Thanks guys!
