About Me
My favourite games are sleeping and eating.
I have been known to enjoy talking and pooping, sometimes at the same time!
The first thing I do when I wake up is turn Celeste (my PC) on. She is the last thing I look at before I go to sleep, when I switch her to standby.
Other than that, I like to code, play with Blender and pee my panties by looking at the pretties on my 360.

I have been ATTACKED (maybe not, but `attacked' is more dramatic than `told') in my very first blog comment to list my so called "gaming interests", so here they are.

I am a gaming whore and like most, if not all, types of game.

My favourites, in no particular order:

Final Fantasy Whatever
I own pretty much all of them, I'm waiting for a couple of remakes so I can own them all on one system though.

Halo
I'm a Halo fan, I'm complete poop at multiplayer, especially Halo 2, but I still love it. I have already purchased Halo 3 and am counting down the days.

The Elder Scrolls
I have lost more hours of my life to these games than any other series put together (bar maybe FF). There's nothing more to be said, really.

ELITE
I've never even won this game, but own it on three systems and still plug in my BBC Master every so often to marvel at the pretty 3D graphics. :3

Spellforce (+2)
I love this game and more people should play it. If you have never heard of it, you instantly fail at life and should end everything by eating a PS3. Whole.

Civilisation CTP
Best Civ I've played, I don't care if you disagree, because if you disagree you are wrong. The End.

Dragon Quest
After two days I had clocked over 34 hours gameplay. Enough said.

Silent Service II
Probably the deepest (pun intended) and prettiest game I've ever played.

Settlers II - Gold Edition
Hard, long, boring, life-stealing.

Super Star Soccer 64
The only sports game I've ever, EVER liked. And by liked, I mean, actually bothered playing. ¬_¬

As you might've noticed, I'm not a hardcore FPS fellow, I enjoy a fair bit of RTS and more than enough (J)RPG. Saying that, I'm open to almost anything.

So, I have been forced (with threats of rape) by Sir. Johanakin Solo Skywalker the XVIII (aka wardrox) to join this here website.

And thus, I moved my cute little cursor to the "Get started - its fast and free" link. The first thing that struck me is the lack of apostrophe. I mean, I know grammar isn't fun and should be kept at school, but you could at least make an _effort_ in a place that's supposed to advertise to new folk who maybe, just maybe, find correct grammar positively spunkerific.

I looked beyond this possibly accidental mistake and clicked the link anyway. To my confusion I was presented with a form entitled "Welcome back" that was populated with but two fields, `email' and `password'. This seemed a little strange for a registration form, but being a well-trained sheep, I did what the page asked me and filled every last field in! Submit. And wait, what's this? Something about an incorrect username? But I didn't enter a username, I was never asked to! Aha, I see the problem. A quick glance at the url and for some inexplicable reason, the "Get started" link has taken me to the login page.



Well, shame on me for having the cheek to try to "get started". Instead, as Daniel Wallace would have me do, I clicked the "Join Us" button. Ah, the sweet taste of success!

So now I come to write my first "blog", as commanded by Mr. Wardrox. These are nice looking buttons; "BBCode Help". That looks like a good first target, I've not done any forum posting for a while, so it'd be nice to make sure my link tags don't end up as "delete my account tags"... After my experience with "getting started", I'm a bit wary, you see? The vorpal cursor went clicker-clack, and... Pardon me, what's going on here? This certainly doesn't look like a BBCode help page to me... Well, OK, let's try "Upload photos"... `Changes saved.'. That's really nice, but I'd like to "upload" some "photos" now, please? No? Well, I have a feeling I know who or what the culprit is here. Could it be my browser? Well, there's only one way to test this theory.



And now, I return. Driving a shiney new, memory whore of an open source piece of shit brower. Well, at least the buttons work. But seriously, making me change browser just to blog? That's a little upsetting really. For the record, Opera is my main browser because it's _not_ a pile of bullshit and chips like all the other browsers... Well, this is a little strange to say the least, "Save Draft" is now taking me to the "Upload photos" page. OK, I'll take the hint and upload a picture, after all, a picture says a thousand words. With no chance of a grammar mistake either!

That seemed to work, although this entire blogging malarky is seeming more and more like using a coffee mug as a helmet - a pain in the arse.

Well, with that little rant complete, I can now introduce myself. I'm a young lad from the United Kingdom of Kingdomshires known almost universally as "Tubs", "Tubby" or "Tubwald the Fourth". And that's all you're getting out of me. x(

Just by the by, another example of how much Destructoid hates Opera...



It renders fine in FirePoo and almost in IE6. Why does Destructiod hate Opera so much? :s
