Hi! I'm GrizzNKev. (DBO)
I guess there's no point in hiding any kind of secret identity, especially since I've already spotted another Grizz 'round these parts.
I'm Kevin Grismore, and I'm a Bungie fanboy. I'm also a programmer, a musician, and a student. My primary goal in life is to be employed by the magical entity that prefaces Destiny in my browser's address bar. I left my entire life behind to move from Florida to Washington to be a part of a brand new major at a specialized school, and if I do things right I think I may eventually land where I want at the end of this journey.
Before all of that, though, Bungie is releasing a new video game. My history on the internet has its origins in 4chan's /v/, though for the last few years I've tried to make myself known around NeoGAF. Since I wasn't part of the old guard of the Halo community there, I often felt a bit left out and tossed in with all the new people that arrived for Halo 4. As events unfolded, it turned out I wasn't the biggest fan of Halo 4 and the community around it doesn't really feel right for me. So much anger, so much conflict. I'm tired of arguing with people and want to start over somewhere else in a way that allows me to be more positive and more constructive. At some point during PAX Prime I hunted down a few people wearing DBO shirts and gave them a few passes since I wasn't going to be able to make it to the last two days. I know from ncsuDuncan that DBO is an incredibly positive and supportive place, so I wanted to contribute to that somehow. Now I'm posting here for real.

Hi!
Just stay away from me then, and you'll be fine here. :-p
Welcome and good luck.

DBO is an incredibly positive and supportive place
Indeed it is! I'm glad you want to contribute. :)
Your name threatens me

Welcome to DBO!
I bet yours isn't derived from your real name!
Mine is. Just call me Kev if you don't want anyone to get confused.

I was stranded alone in the Alaskan wilderness for a week and had to fight a mama grizzly bear in a brutal hand-to-hand melee. Your move, buddy.

That bear was my last name.
Ain't nobody gonna get confused

Oh nonsense, don't be so polite. There's room for two Grizzes on here. No more though. Don't be like those damn Grims.
Heh.

And that ain't the most impressive thing she did out there. We still haven't heard why the mountain lions pay her tribute.
I was thinking: Is that a Linux distribution?

Hi! I'm GrizzNKev.
Take me with you!
Hi! I'm GrizzNKev.
I just now realized I meant to say follows, not prefaces. Sorry, I can't take you to invisible http:// land.
I also noticed I can't edit old posts to make myself look less dumb. Now I have to get used to proofreading before or at least shortly after I post.
60 minutes allowed for editing, to be precise. :)

What area of development are you interested in?
Welcome!
Audio engineering; engine features and tool building parts of that specifically. So, not the electrical stuff, though I think I'm supposed to learn about hardware design as well. Interactive synthesis in games is also a focus. Composing music is pretty fun too, but given how few people are successful with that in the video game world, I don't see that as any kind of priority.
Awesome

Don't drink the water.

Grim was doing something really terrible with a squirrel, and the pipes are corrupted now. Other than that, this is a pretty nice place to be. Beer and soda in the fridge, so you should be fine. The brown armchair's Levi's, and he gets pretty possessive, so stay out if you can.
Welcome!
We have beer?
Why have you been hiding this from me?!
/welcome!
There's always beer.

Why have you been hiding this from me?!
/welcome!
You just have to come back. (Apologies, it's an extra 3000 miles now...)

So inconsiderate.
(If I have a job in a few months I just might, bitch)
Well this is awkward

Heh, totally fair perspective to have. If it helps, you're one of the better ones, it's just a bad, young lot arriving at a tough time for OG HaloGAF's relationship with the series, so mistakes continue to be made by all side.
HGS is a bit of god send for OG HaloGAF, if I may be brutally honest.
Hope you've a good time here, DBO [and HBO] are a great lot.

I still don't know what HGS is.
