OMGBEARS application for clan members (giggity)

[OMGBEARS]

Real Name:

Joseph Brenneman

In game Name:

OMGBEARS

Weapons of Choice:

On Zombie Mod: P90/P228 combo.

On PUB I prefer an AK47/Deagle combo although recently I've been warming up to the AWP since starting to play ESEA.

On WCS: P90/Deagle combo for small maps. AK47/Deagle for larger maps.

On GG I prefer the nade. *wink wink*

Maps:

My favorite ZMod map would have to be a tie between zm_tx_highschoolbeta7 and zm_420_beachstrike_b2 with an honorary mention for zm_desert_fortress_v2.

For PUB it would be have to be a tie between d_dust2 and d_inferno.

WCS I like crackhouse, and nipperhouse- but my favorite is office07.

GG any of the deagle maps will do just fine.

Reason for App:

I see the IBIS clan as a place for great gamers. I have a great deal of respect for IBIS and its members, and really want to see the exploits of the clan grow in both quantity and quality. I love the servers and the people, so it compelled me to apply for clan membership.

Experience:

I've been a gamer for as long as I can remember. From the very beginning playing games on my original Nintendo and SNES I've never been able to get enough. I began playing MMORPG's in 1997 at the age of 11 (lulz) on a little-known game called NexusTK (it's actually still around). I helped found one of the early clans on that game which still is around today (over 12 years later). I graduated to "grown-up" MMO's with UO in mid 99' on Sonoma and quickly got wrapped up into the entire guild/clan structure. I eventually led my own portion of the over 200-member guild consisting of about 60-75 members at any one time. I organized events, led meetings and trained newbies in PvP and whatnot. It was a good time.

During this time I fell out of the FPS genre for a bit. I played the original Tribes and Tribes2 and started the HALO series around this time, but in general kept to the MMORPG's. I played a lot of RTS's very early on starting with Total Annihilation and Starcraft. Diablo was my first RPG. When I went to college in 2004 my room mate got me into WoW and that's where I still am in the MMO-community. I started on Darkspear in vanilla, went to Malorne at the end of BC and now am on Shadowmoon. I GM'd a US top-100 guild on Malorne for almost 7 months before calling it quits and moving to a more "casual" (as in no more 100 hour weeks playing the game and managing crap) pace. I went to Shadowmoon and joined Conspiracy, another US top-100 guild, a few months ago. I also started working at Gamestop at this time (super-nerd ftw). Having just got my steam account about 5 months ago, I started playing CSS almost immediately and almost prolifically on the STFU zombie escape that thepwned runs. After getting tired and fed up with escape maps I floated around a bit on pubs until I found the IBIS zombie mod.

The first night I was in there I was noobing it up pretty seriously, but enjoyed a great conversation with Kavinsky, Damion and a few others. It wasn't like other zombie mods or even other servers period. Most of the late night crew were not only very good at what they did but also not the scum of the earth idiot 12-year-olds who mic spam. There were times when people would go on rampages and mic spam, cade break, etc VERY late at night (when Damion and I were on a lot) and so we both decided to purchase admin. A few months later and here I am!

I've just recently started to play as an ESEA regular on their servers. ESEA a professional 1.6/CSS/TF2 website that hosts tournaments, pugs, professional 1.6/CSS/TF2 players, and offers people a highly competative and consistent environment to enjoy those games in. Similar to steam servers, but you have to pay monthly to play on these servers. I mainly play with a good friend of mine who got me into it. Mostly I'm on the PUG now if I'm not on ZMod or raiding, however.

I just got into Assassin's creed. I've played through most of the Elder Scrolls Series, including Oblivion (about 200 hours played on that game alone). BFBC2 is amazing, and is one of the most fun FPS I've ever played. SC2 is always a great time, and I've been trying to get better at it. Day9 and Husky are daily watching for me anymore. I've played a TON of games so if you ever want to know more about my gaming history just ask!

About me:

I'm a 24 year old musician from Lima, Ohio. I graduated from Capital University with a Bachelors in Music in 2008. I moved to Columbus, Ohio in 2004 to begin college and have stuck around because of an overly long (and coincidentally cheap) apartment contract. I aim to go to graduate school in the next year and I've been looking at Arizona State University, Univsersity of Southern California, and the Cincinnati Institute of Music to meet that goal. I play music professionally and am the Sax player in a Ska Band as well as a Country band when I'm not gaming/working. I hate country, though.

To sum it all up I've been doing everything competitively and aiming to be the best at everything I do for as long as I remember. I want to bring this to the IBIS community. I also hope to gain access to the inside of a great group of people and potential friends as I develop as a gamer, and in general shoot the breeze as I get boom headshots, etc.

[Tragedy]

the bears smell the menstruation! :muffy:

[walterbrunswick]

That's an impressive application.

There's no point in wishing you luck though, because there's a 99.9% chance that you will not be accepted, in case you haven't picked up on that from people who applied 3 years ago and are still waiting.

Do you have any of your Sax playings online?

[Jeimuzu]

You're always so negative Walter..

Bears is cool. He's one of the better new admins, along with Matrix and Damion.

[anex]

Spiele in sie pub.

I know he is and I'm not trying to be negative; this is just reality.

[Christmas]

Just to let you know Bears you have a long time to wait for acceptance.

This year's members have already been decided, and the next batch won't be decided (provided there are enough worthy candidates) until next year.

[&&toasties]

Good luck.

^^

[OMGBEARS]

All I have is time. I'm a pretty patient guy!

EDIT -- And I don't have anything up on the web, yet. I'll work on that, though.

[Jeimuzu]

I'm not trying to be negative; this is just reality.

I beg to differ.

Now let's not start spamming Bear's application. Good luck Bears, and I'm glad your patient.

Hey Walter, you're a homo. Keep drinking Smirnoff Vodka like the homeless bums.

WALTER -- there should be something to post soon on the interwebs in concern to my band. I'm gonna record super orgy porno party or something at our next rehearsal/jam session.

Everythings good here. Absolut ? Ehh ! Greygoose or Belvedere is my thing. Hows everything up there in the boonies ? LOL

I spoke to the owner of my local liquor store (who happens to be a very large bald Russian man) and he said between Stoli and Greygoose he prefers Stoli. Greygoose doesn't have any bite and is similar to drinking water. Stoli has a bite, and actually tastes like vodka.

He pretty much drinks vodka all the time because he's Russian.

GOOD GAME.

Stolichnaya is THE BEST vodka I have ever had. I made fresh-squeezed lemonade to go with it, but ended up drinking almost the entire bottle straight. It's truly a shame to mix it with anything.

no one has erased any post in this thread yet walter.

I'm a rum guy. I've gotten sick after drinking way too much vodka too many times to really enjoy it anymore.

Ron Matusalem (solara 15, to be specific) is my favorite rum for general drinking.

For special occasions my absolute favorite rum is Ron Pampero Anniversario Rum or Tortuga 12-year.

[AI_Scout]

I haven't had Stoli but have heard some good things about it. Greygoose seems to be the perferred drink at the clubs, etc. Also, stay away from the Kirkland Vodka...taste like rubbing alcohol.

PS - Have anyone tried Absinthe aka The Green Fairy?

[OMGBEARS]

I had absinthe in France when I was over in Europe a couple years ago.

It made me feel drunk and high at the same time. It was really weird but awesome.

[Bumpkin]

Pft! It's all good, mate.

I'm so high right now I could cut diamonds with lasers.

High on life.

WALTER -- there should be something to post soon on the interwebs in concern to my band. I'm gonna record super orgy porno party or something at our next rehearsal/jam session.

I'll still root for you!!

[anex]

The only true absinthe is in europe because the absinthe in America can not have wormwood in, which is the active ingredient for the hallucinogenic green fairy. I have been wanting to try it but ever since I saw "From Hell" I have been wanting to mix is with opium. A dream fantasy of mine if you will. However in order to see the green fairy and get that high you have get really really really drunk off of absinthe first. I got a bottle of it when I went to Trier. Indeed it is awesome :D

Fuck I can't believe I missed the Vodka discussion! :headache:
I was passed out drunk on my bed from Absolut.

Good Luck Bears.

It's impossible to miss a discussion about vodka. Impossible. Especially if you miss it due to vodka. Come on man.

Man, I tell you what, if we ever run into eachother IRL I will bring the opium if you bring the absinthe.

You never know for sure. And this app isn't about me being someone I'm not! Or is it? Because I could do that.

you see that little red X in the top right corner of your screen? click it.

[anex]

why do people who know they have no chance apply regardless???:muffy:

Its not fair to say that he has no chance. Some day later this year he might do something that will make him stand out more and make him a more valued member of the community. Mabye he will stick around for two years and you guys will end up becoming friends. If the people who you thought "didn't have a chance" didn't apply, the list of applicants would be short.

Also a lot of them apply because that has pretty much been like that for as long as I remember. People buy admin, stay here for awhile then apply for an app. Same with regulars and people who just really like the server. Most apply because they can or they really want to be a member.

[whytboiz33]

oh, well isnt that cute. thats a bit motivational

the shorter the list of apps, the better. it makes me have to sort through all the bull shit a lot easier. it takes much longer for me to find the important people.

[walterbrunswick]

IBIS pretty much works on favoritism. Go IBIS.


Anyway, no matter what happens I'll love you OMGBEARS!

That's the ABSOLUT talking... but no really I love you...

[acolyte_to_jippity]

whyt, you really don't have to be here right now. let him have some hope. don't be a dick just because you'll have to read another app. if you hate doing it so much, hy not just tell zero that you don't want to be consulted about membership questions anymore? although, seems to me that it should be one of the dutys of a clan member to read through and judge the incoming member's apps.

for bears, i gotta say, you sure had a cool head back there. +! from me, simply because you've gotta be one of the most reasonable folks on the forum.

Upon flipping through the forums, I remembered that some of you wanted to hear my band(s). This is one of them - Super Desserts.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/fliulx

That's some song we recorded for an indie Christmas album or some junk. The name of the tune is "Children, Go!" The name of our recording, however is, "Children, Go! or How Steve Saved Santa from a Mob of Misbehaving Minors" It's a pretty obnoxious recording, but it's meant to be.

Also - a few videos (they should all be related):
