Why Destructoid? To do stuffs and write things.

Ah, gaming... isn't it wonderful? All these console wars, handhelds being almost as good as last get systems, and PCs running games near lifelike with dual video cards and quad cord processors and whatnot. Thus is why we're here, right? A gaming community gathering to share news of games, gamers, and other things revolving around words starting with "G" and ending with "ames". I kinda see myself as a gaming neutral. I love all 3 current gen consoles for different reasons. But... I guess if I did have to choose a side, yes... I would lean toward Sony's shoulder.

My forte of games rolls around in the area of fighting games and RPGs. I can hold my own in puzzles and racers around the fun level of Mario Kart. My fav fighting game? Just in case you haven't heard me preach it enough times, that would be NeoGeo fighting games... namely the King of Fighter Series. That series has multiple RPG-level storylines and does a near flawless job of combining many characters, both main and minor, into one universe without losing any of their personality. Seeing a fighting game do that just makes my brainmeats happy. Now, I'm not knocking down the great Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, or Soul Caliber (for they are all great games as well), but KoF has elements that I think hardly any other fighting game has while still staying a fighting game. You HAVE to give props to that. Of course, like almost everything Nintendo, Smash Bros is pretty much in a league of its own, and I've given many days of my life playing the hell outta that game with my brothers (unfortunately, I still suck at it).

RPG... I'd have to say that Valkyrie Profile and Star Ocean 2 (both PS1) are the top of my list... Final Fantasy III, VII, & XII sharing that spot light. Final Fantasy is a given so I'll spare you the boring descriptions... but both VP and SO2 are RPGs that I have fond memories of... and for the generation of console that those are for I can still go back and play those almost anyday and still have as much fun. Not many RPGs have that replay value.

Anyway, I'll end this off with that. There you go... you know a lot more about me... now go back to staring at my avatar.

Sharingan 619!! (Yes, there are Heores spoilers here...)
Altair78 | 10:57 PM on 10.16.2007 12 comments


Alrighty peeps, since you're here reading on your either watched the last episode of Heroes (10/15/2007) or you just don't give a shit and wanted to find out what the hell I was talking about.

Well, I'm a Heroes fan, a WWE fan (to an extent), and a Naruto fan (again, to an extent). So, we I saw all three of them mashed together tonight (yay, Comcast DVR) I almost tripped off my own brain.

So, for people who don't know what I'm exactly talking about, Heroes showed off a little bit of the powers of a new character last week. A (cute) black chick in New Orleans trying to help her family make it apparently can mimic anything she sees, ala Naruto's (the anime, not character) Sharingan. She first saw a tomato being cut into a flower, and unconsciously mimics it while at work. Next, she caught a glimps of Rey Mysterio of WWE, and his special move the 619, and repelled a thief from robbing her at work with that move. At that point, I was like OMG!! It's a black happy Sasuke with bewbs! SW33T!!!

[edit: I'm sorry the voices are off... but the meaning is there...]

So... ummmm... yeah. Just thought I'd share and see what others thought about it if they saw it. Anybody else come up with something as crazy? Also, who thinks the chick's friend sucked Carl Winslow's dick to get the promotion?

Am I soulding like some gosip section yet?

She's a black Charlie that does physical memory instead of mental. I'm more excited to see what power the Grandma has. I bet she kicks all sorts of ass.

It's unclear if that kid is actually her brother; but assuming that he is then he probably has a power too since the genetic link has been pretty firmly established.

DL was theoretically alive at the end of the first season, although pretty seriously injured. Micah and Nikki were visiting his grave during the episode a couple weeks ago, so at some point he did die. I'm assuming we'll learn what actually happened to him during "Four Months Earlier"; I have a feeling his death was caused by something other than what happened at the end of Chapter 1.

Actually, wouldn't she be more like Kakashi? Sasuke doesn't really copy moves with his Sharingan. I just finished watching the episode, that was a pretty damn cool power.

I like how people felt the need to point, on four separate occasions, to point out that this hero is (gasp) "black". No wonder this shit show has so many fans.

DL's grave was shown 2 or 3 episodes back. I am putting a bet on him having contracted the virus that is killing the Heroes off because he clearly could have phased the bullet out of himself eventually or at least gotten regular medical aide.

As to the grandmother and the (presumed) grandson... hell knows.

To Altair and any other Aboriginal/African/Haitian people reading:

I apologize for referring to Monica as the "black Charlie". I should not describe her based on the color of her skin, and I'm if I offended you.

To Qulprit:

You might want to stop and think for a second about the implications of you, a white (or at least light skinned - I can't really tell from your picture; if not, sorry) male, lecturing a black male about what he should or should not call other people that share his skin color. I know that you're trying to do the right thing, and you were correct that I shouldn't have said what I said, but doing it in a "Thank god the educated white person was here to let black people know what they should and shouldn't say" undermines your message.

To Aerox Ranked RustyTrombone - I'm indian, buddy. Dots, not feathers. And from your picture I can see that you're not black, but in fact blue with a puff of green hair on top. Lies!

<wakes up and looks at past posts...> Huh? When this involve race? I was the first to call her black cuz I forgot her name while doing the post and saying "the chick with powers" would of brought the obvious question of "Which one?". I guess I should be sorry for the mix up as well, but I am soooo tired of the race card from any race, no matter how it's brought up.

Not putting no hate on anyone... just sayin'

As a native New Orleanian, my brain hurt when she said county. Louisiana has parishes, not counties. Otherwise, another decent episode. This season has thus far been sort of meh for me. The brother/sister crew are pretty interesting and the girl with the "sharingan" powers story is getting interesting. I'm glad there's no Nikki this season. I felt that every minute with that family in the first season was wasted airtime. I do loke Micah, though. To have his power would rock.
