Have been lurking here since late '06, when Alimn started his efforts to get the 'mue III ball rolling (what's happened to him, btw?). I am a massive and I mean MASSIVE fan of the series and I've always said that if I had won the lottery here in Canada, I'd definitely call up Yu Suzuki and donate a couple of million to the cause (we can all dream). Now, I won't have to hope for either! :D

Just a couple of images of me with my Shenmue-loving bits :D:

Image

That's my leg tattoo and the biggest thing on it (don't have a good shot of it) is Ryo on top of the Phoenix Mirror; he looks MUCH better now, 2+ years later, touched up and the like, but haven't taken a shot it him in a while.

Image

That was my birthday cake from last year; the Phoenix Mirror is easily my #1 favourite symbol/item in any videogame ever and yes, the colours are a bit off, but its hard to make fondant look EXACTLY like the green in the mirror.

Shenmue for me, like many here, transcends life in some ways; its not my favourite game ever (II is my third favourite, after Total Annihilation and Final Fight CD), but I do deem 'mue II to be the greatest achievement in gaming history, when it was released. Still think its the best game ever.

Anyways, looking forward to FINALLY interacting with you all and one question; where is the button to donate to the dojo? :oops: Thank you!

This is just a wild guess but are you by any chance a sega fan?


What gave it away? ;)

The cake reminded me of Sonic & knuckles.

It has red and blue in it and the hedgehog in it is in a ball ready to go fast.

Admittedly, I'm not a fan of Billy Hatcher :oops:
I'll admit though, I DID want to get a SoA or JSR thing somewhere there, but between Shenmue, Yakuza and Alien ront Online, Ithought the DC (and after) were well represented.

I'm from Germany and have been a die hard Shenmue Fan since early 2002, when I first played S1 and S2 on DC.

I have a lot of respect and feel deep gratitude towards the Dojo communitiy and what it has done for Shenmue. Especially people like LanDC, Hellraiser, Kiyuu and many more.

In my real life I have already travelled Guilin and Hong Kong because I wanted to see the real places where Shenmue is set. I've even been to the Man Mo Temple which looks almost exactly the way it looks in S2, at least inside the temple. The coutyard is not like in Shenmue however and if my memory serves me right, the real temple is on Hollywood Road, which is actually Kowloon, not Wan Chai. I'm planning to go to Yokosuka before S3 comes out, if I have the money.

So anyways, I'm glad our dream will come true. Have a great day!

Dude, that story is freaking awesome!
Also...that's actually a pretty cool username.

Hello everyone! It's nice to officially be apart of the Shenmue community. Always been a lurker for this site, but I am a huge fan of Suzuki-san's work, especially the VF series. SEGA's always been part of my life and I always love and support anything from them, by them, or even inspired by them (if it's good).

Looking forward to re-playing through the series, discussing with you all, and definitely am looking forward to SHENMUE III! \:D/

You should definitely make a thread showing off your Shenmue character creations in VF5FS.

Hello everybody!

I am GT-Racer, a fan of Shenmue from India. My first experience of the series was in 1999 when I got a DC and Shen I as a gift from my relatives in the US. And from that point, I was hooked on to the series.

Other than gaming, I am a huge fan of RC cars. Love tinkering and drifting with them.

I have a little experience with PC modding. I have written a few CLEO scripts for Grand Theft Auto : San Andreas.

Hey guys hows it going? I used to frequent the Shenmue Dojo boards years ago (after the NA DC Shenmue release) but I forgot the password I used back then so I decide to create a whole new account. Some of you may have seen my name on the Shenmue Dojo 70 Man Battle Competition winners list (I ranking 8th place). I'm so glad to see all that Shenmue hashtagging on twitter paid off and we're finally going to get a Shenmue 3!

Hey, guys. I'm another part of the influx of new members since the Shenmue 3 Kickstarter opened, you'll be glad to hear :p I've been looking for a new forum to hang out at now and then, and what better than a Shenmue forum, which looks to be a pretty active place. I'm saddened by the lack of activity in traditional forums these days, since the boom of social media, so it's nice to see a place still going strong - and possibly stronger than ever, now that Shenmue 3 is happening!

Anyway, I've been with the series since the beginning, and am currently on a bajillionth re-run through the games again on my Dreamcast (currently at the beginning of Shenmue 2). Fave game series include Final Fantasy, Zelda, Metroid, Mass Effect and Dead or Alive (on top of Shenmue, obvs :p).

Oh, and me mate Marzy is a member here, so... Hi, matey.
