Favorite game: Masters of Orion 2: Battle at Antares. Old but very, very addictive.

Ha! So someone else has actually played it, then? ALT C-R-U-N-C-H is how I play it. Builds everything then eventually kills everybody, while still not "technically" cheating by the scorecard's standard. I usually picked Humans with Democracy and named the leader "Pichard" (the resemblance and technology should be apparent), but more so pick Dictatorship and name "Britannia" after watching Geass.

Never heard of ALT C-R-U-N-C-H before. Nearly destroyed my wrists typing ALT M-O-O-L-A thousands of times, and as a youngling I found myself addicted to ALT E-I-N-S-T-E-I-N (not anymore; too easy).

I usually play with Dictatorship, Repulsive*, either Spying (-10) or Ground Combat (-10), Creative, and Lithovore. The combination of Creative and Lithovore is awesomely powerful if you can perfectly time the colonisation -> science -> ship building steps.

Lately I have been trying to max out my score; just yesterday I achieved a score of 9802 on Hard, my highest yet. Yep, want to guess which tired meme I yelled out upon beating the pathetically weak Antarans?

Cheers for bringing happiness into this sad soul's world.

By the way, can you defeat the game on Impossible? Just wondering.

Don't read too much into it please; I'm not like that in real life. It's just I figure that if I'm going to have to take everyone out in my computer game, it is honourable to declare that intention as early as possible. Even if they are just stupid AIs.

You know, somehow I've never got around to filing a post here. It always seemed too daunting, but if others can do it, so can I. Cheers to Ta-kun the Black Kitty (AKA TestamentSaki) for the "assist".


Glad to be of help, Dan.

Not too much. Until about my birthday this year (Sept, I turned 24), I'd occasionally forget my age and think I was 18.

Hey everyone, I'm MetalMonster aka Tory. I chose MetalMonster because I love Metal, and I can be pretty monstrous in the mornings before I have my coffee.

Blood Type: Who knows?

Sex:Male

Location:Adelaide, Australia

Nationality/Ethnicity:Caucasian, Irish Father

Marital Status:Single

Profession:University Student Majoring in Screen Studies(slacking off and watching movies in other words), Plus I have a crappy part time job, but I won't bore you with the details

Religion:Lifelong Atheist

Drink/Smoke:I never smoke, I do drink socially. I am however, possibly the only male in Australia who doesn't drink beer. I just don't see how anyone can like that taste.

Likes: Music, Especially Rock and Metal. Some of my fave bands include Led Zeppelin, Pantera, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, Opeth and Megadeth. I'm currently trying to learn to play the guitar, although I'm still pretty hopeless at it. I also really like Japanese RPGS, particularly SNES and PSX era.

Dislikes:Being hopeless at playing the guitar, Beer, Pushy people, cockroaches(They're just disgusting).

Favorite Anime:Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya, An embarrassing amount of Shojo

Favorite Games:Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9

Fun FactsI recently shaved my brand new moustache after an overwhelming number of negative comments from various female friends and aquaintences.

My Chinese roomates nicknamed me "The Master of Eating" ater I ate an entire Large pizza and some Chinese sweet dumplings in one sitting. I didn't think it was that impressive, but I guess they did.

I first got into anime after watching Technoman (Tekkaman Blade) on morning tv as a kid.

YES! Final fantasy 7, 8 and 9 are the beesst... my favorite is 7. I just started playing it again after beating the game too much, it got boring. There were just things i never did, but like 2 days ago i beat the Emerald Weapon. I went so crazy i won, i called my brother in Oregon and told him and i showed my mom. Man, i was soo happy. I still can't beat that damn Ruby Weapon though, i don't understand how to hurt it, and it alwasy takes away one of my players, always the one i give good materia too. Man, i think i'm gonna go play that now.
