About Me

Hey all, real name's Tom, but I usually travel under the handle Sarin (as in the chemical). I'm a 19 yo Uni student studying science at Sydney Uni. As some of you may have figured out I live in Australia but I still try to get on the destructoid TF2 sever despite my 200+ pings.

Trivia Time
Some of my favourite games are:
Grim Fandango
Secret of Monkey Island I&II
Psychonauts
Day of the Tentacle
(Add any Tim Schaefer Game Here)
Fallout 1&2
Max Payne 1&2
TF2
Vampire: Bloodlines
Arcanum
Planescape: Torment
Hitman: Blood Money
This is already too long so I'll stop

Currently playing:
TF2
BrB;u Mod Nights
Hitman: Blood Money
Persona 3

Random:
-I get irrationally distressed when game characters have names like Sarin. Saren(Mass Effect), Sareth(Dark Messiah), Saris(Horizons), Sarun(Viralhunter's story), there are others
-GTA was damn good but has little replay value after the second play through :(
-If you play PC games come to BrB;u. It rocks!
-Having no friends is laym

Grim Fandango Shirt *Update*
Sarin | 10:32 PM on 03.13.2008 12 comments





Just thought I'd let you know that the GF shirt I mentioned earlier is now back on sale. Since this is looking like a very short post I guess I'll ramble on for a bit.

So, here's why I think this shirt is worth buying multiples of.

Firstly. Its not so geeky that you feel ashamed to wear it. Most people who see it won't have any clue what it means, but they won't imediately assume that its nerdy (not that I mind looking nerdy).

Secondly. It is nerdy enough to get you some mad respect from that guy who never leaves his basement. GF is cult enough that just by wearing this shirt, your showing all of geekdom just how hardcore you are.

Secondly. You don't need to have played the game religiously, recently, or ever, to recognise its meaning. There's no obscure line that only 3 people have ever heard, or character no-one ever met. The style of GF is so unique that its recognisable to anyone who has seen a screenshot before.

Thirdly. It projects. Maybe its just me, but a few times i have seen someone wearing an awesome geeky shirt and wanted to ask them where they got it, but I only realise what it was after I've passed them. The nice big head of Manny can be seen from a distance, giving everyone a chance to comment on how awesome you are.

That's all I can think of at the moment but I'm sure that its the greatest shirt ever for way more reasons as well.

Also, I know it seems unlikely to you if you just read my rant, but I don't work for Bang Bang Shirts.

Nice. I've always hoped someday I will be well enough off to pay an interior designer to decorate my house with the same Mexican be bop vibe that Grim Fandango has.
