10 things you probably don't want to know about me.
Overcrowd | 9:33 AM on 02.01.2009 9 comments


I lack originality.

1. I was part of the First Wave Of Online Console Gamers (FWOOCG) with Phantasy Star Online.
I was ten when I first got it and I had no clue whatsoever about the PS universe, having never owned a Mega Drive 'til my later years. So there I was, in completely unknown territory, but that didn't stop me from having one of the best (and most helpful) gaming experiences of my life. I learned a lot about how people act when given the opportunity to have some fun (on their part) instead of playing the game as it was intended. PKing, FSODing, and the dreaded CKing were everyday occurences to some of my friends, but rarely happened to me because I had a tight-knit group of mates who I generally stayed with, after learning the aforementioned information. When PSO Ep I and II came out for GC, I rejoiced as it meant I could play it with IRL people due to it's splitscreen, but the only bad thing was that it was impossible to find a GC keyboard in shops, which made it almost unplayable online.

Also, PSU can eat a dick.

2. I played Final Fantasy IV, V and VI after I played VII through X.
And even with that gap, I still rate them as the best ones in the series. Especially VI.

3. I'm in my final year of school, and it's terrifying because I'm too lazy.
I've barely studied a day in my life, so imagine how totally fucked I am when I try to cram it all in within a week... Oh well. Miracles can happen, right?

4. My ideal career is in either composing or journalism (games or otherwise).
I know that the latter may seem impossible due to the aforementioned laziness, but bear with me. I've got a plan.

5. I suffer from crippling shyness.
I'm the guy who (on XBL or PSN) will keep my mic off unless there's people I know. I'm not sure how or why I developed this trait, but it's annoying nonetheless. It keeps me from entering online tournaments and other such shizz. Even Dtoid stuff, which I regret.

6. My greatest gaming accomplishment was beating Ninja Gaiden Black (Xbox) on Master Ninja.
Oddly, I thought it'd be a lot harder. I found it somewhat difficult, but nothing compared to games like God Hand, Ikaruga, and Guilty Gear X2 (I-No specifically).

7. I'm a massive music freak.
I hover between Metal, Classical, Videogame music, certain Rap, Prog rock, Jazz, etc... I have possibly the weirdest taste out of anybody on this site. One minute I'll be blasting some "Seducing the Phallus Throne" by Sarpanitum, next minute it'll be Paganini's Fifth Caprice, then "New Born" by Muse. No joke.

8. I look like a douche, but I'm a pretty nice guy.



I wish I had a better picture, but I don't. Ever since I got my long-as-fuck hair cut, I've been regretting it immensely. Also, I look permanently stoned. That's what you get when you spend 4 years not getting enough sleep due to rampant videogame obsession.

9. I idolize Rev, Dale, and Topher.
Do I really need to explain?

10. You're probably bored reading this due to lack of lulz, so I give you...



=)

You beat Ninja Gaiden Black on Master Ninja difficulty. That's just crazy man! I hope #4 comes true for you man and you get to become a composer or journalist.

Great List Aurion. Keep those Korg DS-10 songs coming!
