Greetings and good evening everyone!
My name is Mark (aka LightningRacer on PSN), and my time of lurking these forums are over, I finally got my behind in gear and got my account activated, and I'm very excited about joining this fine community.
Many of you may have seen me online on Wipeout HD, I tend to stick to Single Race lobbies at either Rapier or Phantom class, but I will play the odd Elimination round if there is nothing else going down.
I've been a massive fan of the Wipeout series ever since my Dad introduced me to the first one back in 1998 (When I was only 6 years old), and ever since I've been hooked on the awesome games that are Wipeout, although admittedly I completely bypassed the titles released on the PSP since I'm not the biggest fan of it and never bought one, so all the tracks in HD were completely new to me :D
I may also be one of the few people on these forums that think Wipeout Fusion is an amazing game, I know it has received quite a lot of criticism over the years but I have invested an ungodly amount of hours into that game, which considering it is a purely offline game, is quite amazing (I don't even want to consider what it would have been like if it had online multiplayer capabilities!!!)
Anyway, I came here primarily for the chance to make some friends that are active on Wipeout HD, I only have one or two on my friends list currently and I know I encounter a few people quite often and was wondering if they were on these forums, as they all provide some stiff competition and enjoy racing each and every one of you :D, but I'm more than happy to meet people who are just as eager to play the game as I am!!
I recently purchased a Hauppauge HDPVR, which I've been testing on my Playstation 3. Thus, if you have been in my lobbies as of late it is more than likely I have our races recorded, but maybe not uploaded. However, I'd be more than willing to record and upload any races that you would like, simply hit me up with a message on PSN and ask me, it's really no trouble at all!
If you'd like to check out my YouTube channel, it can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/user/Downing125
I'd be willing to accept anyone both on YouTube and PSN as friends, and if you add me or sub me please send me a message and I'll return the favours straight away.
Finally, may I say I'm glad to be here and I eagerly await meeting both old opponents and new friends!
tl;dr - I'm new, hi.
Mark.

Guys, welcome to the board and we don`t bite but please check the rules and you will get addicted!
Lighting, you say, you don`t have PSP, right?
stevie:)

Nawww, no PSP here, I bought a Nintendo DS instead (I also got a 3DS instead of a Vita, but I'm sorta regretting the decision, as I barely play it and I know I'd play the Vita because the newest wipeout game looks pretty awesome!!)

Wow it plays original wipeout too? :O
Eh, I bought the original wipeout on the PSN store, also have a wipeout 2097 disc and a wip3out disc, although wip3out keeps crashing when I try and play it in my PS3 which is quite annoying :@
