Carmichan would like to give a belated hello...

[Carmichan]

Hello everyone, it's about time I introduced myself! *hits head* Stupid procrastinator is the Carmi...

Hmm, okay, well, a little something about me for filler so at least you'd have SOMETHING to read besides the standard,"I love Rule of Rose!" message...

I am the CARMICHAN!! and I am seventeen years old as of October. I'm really random and crazy and ironic when I'm writing a letter or on the Internet, but in person I'm very, very, very shy and quiet.

I loooove to write, but I'm not always a well of original ideas; when I hit writer's block I tend to ask a bunch of people what kind of story they would like and either combine into a huge, super idea, or focus on one person's idea and write them a special story, tweaking it where I see fit. It's especially fun for me to write about dysfunctional relationships, even though I try to shy away from having them. ...Does that make me a hypocrite?

Video games=w00t! My favorite would have to be Skies of Arcadia for Dreamcast and Gamecube. Ramirez is neato <3. Rule of Rose is, of course, one of my favorite games as well, not to mention it's one of the few games where I honestly like almost all the female characters. I usually HATE the female lead with all my heart, but...come on, how can you hate Jennifer after she puts up with all that? Other favorite games would include....Final Fantasy VIII, Bully, Ico, Kingdom Hearts II, Psychonauts, Zelda, and Xenosaga. Yeah, I love RPGs ^_^; Doesn't every geek?

Okay, I'm done talking everyone's ear off with my useless minutiae. If you've read this far, I love you lots <3. I look forward to reading everyone's posts on the rest of the forums!

One of my favorite games is also Final Fantasy VIII. Welcome!

[Ralph Goat]

Welcome to the Rule of Rose forum! ^__^

[PrinceJoshua]

Welcome Carmichan! I also like FFVIII.

[spookythings]

i have xenosaga 1&2, too.

welcome to the forums!

Hello and welcome to the forums - For some reason I could never get into the Final Fantasy Series I just can't

[Carmichan]

Awww, thanks for making me feel welcome, everyone! =D Wow, I'm surprised at all the Final Fantasy VIII fans...most people I hear about complain about how much better FFVII was...but seeing this makes me all happy inside ^-^.

Yeah, don't feel too bad about not liking the FF series, I haven't been very happy with Square ever since FFX-2.

I officially completely hate Square now anyway, since they TOTALLY STOLE EVERYTHING IN SKIES OF ARCADIA FOR THEIR FINAL FANTASY XII okay, sorry, had to get that out of my system. It's a complex I've had ever since I looked into FFXII. Jerks >/

Let me say thanks for welcoming me again, and I promise, I don't talk nearly this much in person ^-^;.

[spookythings]

i can't remember which ff they're currently on... is xii the newest one, with the main characters who look exactly like yuna and tidus guest starring on futurama? its nice that you're not a final fantasy elitist who acts like everything after ffvii is *CENSORED*ed and everyone who plays them should be shot. ffx was only the second role playing game i had ever played and i should thank it. i won't, because i hate tidus and blitzball (especially blitzball. my blood is boiling just thinking about it), but yeah. i'm so glad you're not like that.

also don't know why you think you talk too much. the forum is so quiet lately. talk as much as you can.

[Carmichan]

Haha, yes, that is number twelve in the series! But I swear, they stole it from Skies of Arcadia! Just compare the character designs of Penelo and Aika! It makes Carmi very sad. : (

Yess, I totally agree with you on Tidus and Blitzball @_@. The game in itself wasn't bad, but...Tidus was such a whiny little b*tch! I don't like to swear a whole lot anymore, but there is really no other way to describe him.

Blitzball was one of the most annoying minigames I've ever encountered, and that's including that stupid war sim in FFVII...at least FFVIII's Triple Triad was relatively fun. But...Blitzball was just....urrrgh. Does anyone like that game?

You know what else I like? Invader ZIM. ZIM rocks.

[spookythings]

i've played ffx a bunch of times, and the last time i played, i really wanted to see the blitzball celebration, because i always lose. well, i spent the better part of 3 hours trying to win, doing every single thing the way it said to, and yet every single one of my shots was intercepted. i was livid.

rofl @ whiny little b*tch, thats exactly the way my husband described him. i still cringe everytime i even think about that scene where tidus and yuna are in luca, and they laugh and laugh. whoever thought that that scene was a good idea should be beaten.

i did love the sphere grid like no other, though.

i want to play skies of arcadia. i just saw it at best buy the other day, but i wasn't sure about it. dangit.

i've never seen invader zim, but i adore jhohen's johnny the homicidal maniac/happy noodle boy. happy noodle boy: *surrounded by lions* stupid cows! you have broken my secret elbow!

[Carmichan]

And I shall continue to reply!

Skies of Arcadia is a lot of fun, even though having super-happy inspirationals as main characters gets kind of annoying after a while.

And I think that Blitzball game was rigged. I scored once because Tidus actually proved himself useful with the Jecht Shot and managed to keep the scores even up until tie-breaker where I played for about fifteen minutes and then the other team scored...And I think I threw a tantrum but it's rather fuzzy after that.

Sphere grid was fun after you got past the Mushroom Rock Thing and actually began to have A DECENT AMOUNT OF ABILITY SPHERES...I always ran out of those ><. LULU HAD TO HAVE HER SECOND LEVEL MAGIC BY THAT TIME!!!! SHE HAD TO!!!! I tend to prefer junctioning the most though, because I liked having uber-characters a quarter of the way through. YES, I LIKED JUNCTIONING. ...Once I figured out how to do it.

Invader ZIM is awesome, I stayed home and cried when I found out it was canceled. I want to read Jhonen's comics so badly, but I can never find them anywhere.

Edit for an interesting tidbit I forgot to mention. Yutaka Minobe was also the musical composer for both Rule of Rose and Skies of Arcadia. Isn't that neeeat? I love it when my favorite games become connected.
