About Me
DF is Doomsday Forte. That's me!
So, it looks like I play video games. But according to my backlog, I've a long long ways to go until I'm done with what all I have.
That said, I seem to cater more toward the handheld spectrum of the generations. I mean, I have a DS and a PSP (and an iPod Touch but that doesn't count), but all I have in terms of console is a Wii and a PS2 for this gen. And really, I'm fine with that. I have quite a few games as it is, and like I have the income to support getting a new system, accessories, and games on top of those I've yet to finish. =P I play handhelds more mainly because of the portability, and sleep mode is a godsend. No more "oh hell gotta go but there's no save point" woes like on consoles. That and there's always an opportunity to game somewhere.
And don't mention my computer. It's a laptop and really not designed to play anything relatively recent either.
Let's see...I'm into photography, though I'm by no means good at it. I let Auto take over on damn near everything, but I'm not really too concerned about learning the "right" way to do it. It's a digital camera and it's not the best on the market either, so I'm not concerned. I like cycling, though riding around town is getting boring because I've kinda been about everywhere and it's either small city or vast expanses of country roads where I'm bound to get lost.
Did I mention I've been writing a book? I've been at it for over a year, and it's slow going. Games and all, you know? The first draft's done, so at least that's a significant milestone completed. Maybe I'll post a link sometime so you all can read a bit of what I've done.
Hey, I'm writing a blog series. It looks like it turned into a weekly thing, whoops. Here are the entries thus far:
Battle of Backlog
#0: BoB Introduction
#1: Valkyrie Profile - Covenant of the Plume
#2: Knuckles' Chaotix
#3: Dungeon Siege
#4: Dungeon Siege II
#5: Dungeon Siege - Throne of Agony
Stalk me!

I got this email today, and I'm sure a lot of you did too, but I'll go ahead and copy-paste what all it says:
Play Shaiya and Fight for an Alienware® M17x Laptop It's the Shaiya 1 Million Gamer Giveaway! From 9/1 through 10/2/09, Aeria Games is celebrating 1 Million Shaiya North American Gamers by giving away 4 Alienware® M17x laptops. Here's all you have to do for a chance to win: * Register a new account with Aeria Games between 9/1 and 10/2 * Log into Shaiya and Play to level 10 That's it-- you're entered to win your Alienware® M17x laptop. Shaiya is a stunning free-to-play fantasy MMORPG that immerses you in a massive war between the forces of Light and Darkness. The Alienware® M17x laptop is the premium gaming laptop for playing Shaiya. To get more information about Alienware gaming laptops click here: http://www.alienware.com/AlienNews For more information about the Shaiya 1 Million Gamer Giveaway click here: http://shaiya.aeriagames.com/promo/1-million-player There, that's all. Now, as you're aware, Destructoid has its own contest running, where you have to reach Level 5 by the 23rd of this month, I believe. I don't see anywhere in the contest rules that you can't be entered in both contests (though I can see that counting as "multiple entries"), and it'd be somewhat amusing if you could use your Dtoid Lv5 character and boost him/her to 10 and apply for both contests. I read the rules (and you can too, second link above) and I'm surprised you have to be 18 or older to enter. Also, while anyone who can play Shaiya English can enter, only those in the US will receive the laptops; everyone else gets an equivalent prize ($1800 USD) in Aeria Points payable within three months of winning. Not really a fair trade, but at least you still get something if you're not in the US. I dunno if I want to go through the trouble of downloading this game again and reinstalling and everything. But in any case, thought I'd share this info with you all, and good luck to those who enter (or are entering again). =P

But I suppose I'll also get my character to ten. Just now, I have to go through the motions of downloading the whole client again. Fun fun.
