About

Whaddaya wanna know about me? I'm a global genetic mutt, if you can name a place I'm pretty sure I got something from there. I constitute the creepy white kid in all the circles of my friends. I'm into... well, I'm -very- musically biased, if it's not video game music, techno, trance, heavy metal, '80s rock, or country I pretty much hate it. I'm not too keen on emo, and I just plain despise rap. I'm always irritated by people who mope around and complain to me about every issue in their lives, because at that point I have to at least pretend to care, while simultaneously tuning them out. PLEASE, if your life sucks and you're one of those people who go around going, "omg i hat mi life wil u plz listn to mi probz?" then my response is usually, either "Sure" or "What part of I Don't Care is confusing you?"

To put a rest to the matter: I've despised EVERY 3-d Final Fantasy game with the sole exceptions of IX and XII. I hate FFVII, because Cloud is a whiny little emo kid. Boo-freakin'-Hoo Cloud, now go cut yourself and whine on LiveJournal. Why do I hate FFVIII? Because they're just milking the "emotionless warrior falls in love with outspoken willful girl" stereotype that had permeated the market at the time. FFX and X-2 just plain sucked, with horrible voice-acting, a total [insert explicit derogatory term here] hero, and a cast that I've seen done before, and done better. FFXI was an interesting concept, but ultimately Square failed to pull it off. I'm also pissed at FFVII-XII fans, because they regard the 2D FF games as inferior... why? Because it's "OMG teh 2d suxorz!" These are the same middle-school kids who think Inuyasha will marry them, who think that such a combination as Vampire/Werewolf/Human/Cadbury Bunny is a viable racial choice, or that Vampires have the capacity for love. Sweetheart, vampirism is a disease that overrides any prevoius genetic or racial standing; there is no such thing as a half-vampire (my only beef with Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is that 1) Dracula could breed despite his body being dead and thus sterile, and 2) that Alucard is a half-vampire).

Also, I'm starting to get irritated at all the slave sales on Gaia, if you're going to do it, at least do it right. First off, no slaver with half a functioning brain will put unbroken slaves on the block. Second, there is no way in hell any idiot can run up to a slaver, fall in love with the slave, and go, "omg lol i want her wat u selin her 4?" Now this is where someone with above-room-temperature IQ would put the slave up for roughly fifty gold pieces, that only if they're the paragon of human attractiveness and/or workhorse efficiency. Nope, these kids sell them for what translates (on gold-piece-to-USD transitions) to upwards of -Ten Thousand US Dollars-.

Finally, for the people that like to go "lmao u play dnd ur a dork"... stop, think about where you are, then take a good look in the mirror. That's right, sweetheart, you're no better than me by any stretch you can conceive. If you have to play elitist, then chances are it's just the opposite: because unlike FF games, in D&D it's always a big deal when you level up. Also, it takes more strategy, since chances are your Dungeon Master isn't going to just let you go powerlevel, so every major fight takes teamwork and strategy. Here's where you'd say, "But Spuggy, Final Fantasy games take a lot of strategy, too!" You're right, as long as you don't spend weeks in one area pulping monsters until there's no challenge left in the game. That's when you cease to hold respect in my eyes, and when you're jsut another Halo-bred kid who doesn't understand the point of an RPG is to overcome challenges by using your party's talents.

Oh, yes... Halo... the Uwe Boll of FPS games: Everything, literally EVERYTHING, it's done I've seen done better in Doom, Half-Life, Quake, Timesplitters, James Bond, Unreal, Tribes, and--hey, guess what?--Rainbow Six. If Halo's done it, I can list countless games that have done it so well it shows Halo for the pile of steaming, wet code it is. Halo is among the best X-Box games... but that's not saying a lot. That system has a lousy controller, a half-arsed attempt at convincing people to play their games--trust me, simply playing an Xbox game that isn't Dead or Alive and coming out with your IQ intact is an 'achievement' worth a lot more than some meaningless "bragging-rights" points.

I willingly admit it, I'm a PS2/PC man. Actually, if you wanted to get specific, I'm a Super Nintendo/Genesis/NES/Atari man. I've beaten every Forgotten Realms game I can get my hands on, and then I beat them again at the lowest level I could manage. My records: (these are all average party levels, if applicable)
Baldur's Gate: ECL 6
Baldur's Gate Tales of the Sword Coast: ECL 10
Baldur's Gate 2 Shadows of Amn: ECL 15
Baldur's Gate 2 Throne of Bhaal: ECL 25
Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance: Level 15
Icewind Dale 2: ECL 25
Neverwinter Nights OC: ECL 17
NWN Shadows of Undrentide: ECL 17
NWN Hordes of the Underdark: ECL 20
NWN Kingmaker: ECL 15
NWN2: ECL 12

Oh, yeah, I love to rant about things that set me off.
