Thanks to arline6 I've been tagged.I used to be an officer in a union arline6 was involved in. Then the oficer's were let go and had to reapply.I didn'y and quit the union. Oh well...

1. I am a charted member in two unions and an officer in two.

2. I am a big fan of the Pitttsburgh sports teams-namely the Steelers and the Penguins.

3. My first gaming system was an Atari VCS. My first computer was an Atari 400.

4. I like anime and manga.Love Hina, Chobits, Inu-yasha, and Noir are my favorite.

5. I drink coffee for the taste. Not the caffeine.

6. I have all the SMT games except Persona 2

7. I am looking forward to getting Dragon Age, Final fantasy XIII, Nostalgia, SMT- Strange Journey, and Atelier Annie.

8. To me The Rolling Stones are the greatest Rock and Roll Band.Led Zeppelin is second.

9. I want more Link games that have the look and feel of Twilight Princess. I am tired of cartoon Link.

10. I like playing Magic The gathering.

11.I have beaten all the Diablo games and the addon on's for them.

There. 10 things you didn't know about me plus an extra one!

From the cool .dot hack union I tag:

I tag: Juniorpower, theman132, quackthegreat, dragonfly110

Ok I'm a poet but i did know it.HAHA.

How is everone doing this Fall?I like the early part of the season as it is still warm and then the leaves change and the scenery is very nice.Then comes Nov. and Dec. and the colds winds and bad weather come and that is no fun at all.

2012 is due out in theatres soon and I'm looking forwardto seeing that.The DVD of the Star Trek film that was shown in theatres earlier this year is also soon out. I liked the role that Leonard Nimoy played in that film.Spock the elder was an integral part of the storyline.I will also have to go see New Moon when it comes out.A busy month for movies.

Assassin's Creed 2 will also soon be out and that is a title to look forward to. I may get Dragon Age- Origins for Christmas.We shall see.

I have been playing Arc the Lad- Twilight of the Spirits lately.Not a bad game but also not a great one.For the price I paid I feel it is worth it's while.I'm also thinking of starting GTA IV again after I beat Assassin's Creed for the PS3.

There have been a lot of people missing school and work lately in m area due to sickness.I'm not sure if they have H1N1 or whether they have an illness that won't go away. So we have been shorthanded a lot at work which make for very busy and stressful days. It's good that I have some games that I can come home an unwind with.

Which games to you like to unwind with when you are feeling stressed?Iknow some like FPS's and others casual games which are less demanding.It would be cool to know what you think?

Anyway--stay healthy and safe and have fun gaming!!!

Every game is it's own world.It is not shared with any other title(except in very rare instances) and it also matters not how good the game is.The world of SMT- Persona 3 is unique to that game ans the atmosphere it has is not shared by another. Same for Dragon Quest 4, Tiger Woods 09, Atelier Iris-Eternal Mana etc...

Some of these worlds are stunning in nature and draw the gamer in.Others don't and , unless the gameplay is something else, the gamer soon loses interest. This fact forces the desisners to produce games that have storyline and worlds the gamer cares about.But even the best worlds would soon become flat without a good musical score to set the tone of the world. Burnout Paradise would soon become boring without the radio soundtrack.

A good world also aids greatly in replay value of the game.A lot of players have played GTA-Vice City Stories more than once.same for Twilight Princess and FF XII.Each time I go to Rabanaste I see something different.It may be minor, even insignificant, but it was still there, waiting to be discovered.

The rare instance that I spoke about before might be The Lord of the Rings trilogy.All three games are connected to tell a long story.But even so The Shire, Rivendell, The Mines of Moria are all considered to be "The Fellowship of the Ring"The Two Towers and The Return of the King have their own settings(world)

I would ask you to name your 5 favorite worlds you have played in so far.For old-time gamers like myself this is a bit difficult But here are mine.

1.The World Ends With You-Shibuya in the UG is great and diffrent than the Shibuya in SMT-Devil Survivor

2.Final Fantasy VII-A vast world and at the time the biggest.

3.Earthbound-Sure the world was slightly cartoonish but it was also awesome!

4.GTA4(the original game)-"Where's the mansion, where is sportscar"-Niko Bellic upon arriving in America

5.The Godfather-NYC in the 1940's and 1950's never looked so good.To say otherwise would be "disrepectful"

I waiting to hear your responses.I am sure they will be interesting.
