About Me
I'm twenty-one. I spend a lot of time reading and playing video games. I love Princess Daisy and hate Princess Peach. I will most likely not be talking about much new stuff, because getting games that are new requires one to have a budget that stretches at least a bit past the subsistence level. And, as you may have noticed, I fucking love tacticals.

Oh! Almost forgot. I have another blog, where I talk about books and comics and occasionally cooking. It's called Four-Color World, and it's at http://fourcolorworld.blogspot.com.

Currently playing:
Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness (PSP)--2nd playthrough, currently power-leveling
Jeanne D'Arc (PSP)
Rondo of Swords (DS)
Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories (PS2)
La Pucelle: Tactics (PS2)
Makai Kingdom (PS2)
Phantom Brave (PS2)
Commander Keen, all of them, constantly
Hocus Pocus (DOS on PC)

Tales of Etrian Odyssey

Ok! Stop right here! I have a confession to make.

I've never played this game.

I know, I know, shame on me for detailing my favorite Etrian Odyssey experience if I haven't played it. Hadn't even heard of it before yesterday. But I looked it up, found out what it was, and here's what I have to say.

Never played the game, like I said, but when I dungeon-crawl, I do it old school. Like, no graphics old school. I've played Advent. You know Advent, right? The original text adventure? I played it. I beat it. I've played all three original Zork games; I even have the third one on a huge floppy disk. (Admittedly it's my dad's, but hey, I've got it.) I also have a disk of the Wizardry Archives, all the games through Wizardry Gold. Haven't quite gotten the hang of them, but it's mainly because I can't seem to make them run properly on my computer.

I love me some dark dank dungeon-crawling.

Does it still count when you've never played the game?

Not a clue, but if it doesn't count I'm not bothered. Mainly I just wanted to say that I like dungeon crawls, and that I'd love to play more of them--mainly what keeps me from finding them is my general habit of not reading the news.

The contest rules say you have to specifically detail an experience you had with the game, so no, this most likely doesn't count, since it's not an experience you had playing Etrian Odyssey.
