About Me

edit

My name's Rafael Arbulu, and I'm MSN Games editor (the brazilian version, that is).

Don't like to talk about Rafael Arbulu that much, and pretty much everytime I do talk about Rafael Arbulu, I end up having a hard time.
I'm...errr....22 years old, live in Sao Paulo, Brazil, love RPG games, some sports games, a lot of action games...I just don't like soccer, basketball, football, and other "ball" games...to me, they're all the same thing. Give me races, or anything similar, and we're gonna have some good gaming time.

Besides gaming, I (try to) watch a lot of anime, (try to) read a lot of manga...
I do love...collector's edition games, mangas, animes, action figures (related to anime and gaming, of course).

I'm kind of married...and...that's pretty much it. Any questions, just hit me up. When I get a chance to, I'll answer for sure.

I hate you! I %�#�BE%%# hate you all!

Blazes!
Life is so unfair! I know I should be a patriot, love my motherland and all that...it's just that...sometimes it gets hard to keep at it, you know?
I'm saying this because I love contests. You know...that kind of "fill the form, enter the RSS feed and win stuff" kind of contest. And when I get to the form page, lose five minutes of my hard living life filling it...I click on the terms and rules of the contest, which usually says "This contest is open to all US citizens who reside in US Territory..." or something like that.
Why, I ask thee, why? Why can't you just send over Swags to Brazil? Don't you know how people buy PS3/Xbox 360 stuff here? WE IMPORT THEM! We do that because buying from a brazilian retailer is too pricey, and we can save about 50 bucks, maybe 100, if we bring them from the outside for ourselves.
Awww...I saw this contest of winning a PS3...wanted to join, but US outsiders weren't allowed...of course I already have one, but hey...it's called "making profits": if you got more than one, sell it...

Can any light of heaven shine my way? Pu-leeeeease?

Various studies, and theories have been put into practice over this very important matter. After many years, scientists have finally pin-pointed an answer to this serious dilemma:

USA! USA! USA!

BlindsideDork

So you are complaining cause contest won't ship stuff to Brazil, a foreign country?

It is expensive to ship there, plus I think there might be some legal rights...I don't know. But it would probably be might expensive to ship a PS3 to a foreign country.

USA USA USA!!!!!! AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll trade you some games for weird unofficial sega products! Brazil gets all the cool hacked retro shit

Funktastic

Brazil is also home to the greatest footballing nation in the world! ^_^ Joga Bonito!

Expensive to bring crap to me? To hell with that: I'll pay it! I'd rather pay some good bucks than almost R$ 2000,00 on a freaking console (That would be a thousand dollars, by the way).

Well, we do get some hacks on SEGA...and guess what? The Mega Drive and one of the Master Systems have been announced to be re-sold in a whole new look..but it is kinda expensive as well...

"Joga Bonito"? I like the Nike-merchandising portuguese...me agrada muito (pleases me a lot), but Brazilian soccer isn't really my thing, anf from what I heard, we're not being the utmost soccer example lately... :(

It's kinda hard to sympathize when you conclude by saying you would sell the shit for a profit anyway.

"Donate it in exchange for money" would make it better?

king3vbo

Brazil?

CelicaCrazed

king3vbo, I have no clue what is happening in that comic, but I find it damn hilarious nonetheless.

@ Rafael

Yeah that does suck, but in all fairness, you do live in Brazil. I've seen the beaches and women on tv, you have nothing to complain about haha. And yes, I'm am ignoring all of Brazil's socio-problems and stuff ;).

USA USA USA!

brosef

Christ! You already have a monopoly on Brazilian women, and now you want more?!?

FACT: 100% of Brazilian women come from Brazil.

The Defense rests, your honor.

Jesus H Christ

Your first mistake is that you're not Uhmurican. Extrapolate from there.

Rafael Arbulu

I gotta admit...our women are something else! But I already hve mine...so...yeah...I want more! MOOOOORE! I WANT EVERYTHING!!! RRRRRHHAAAAAAAARRRGGGGGHHH!!!
