A forty years-old French software engineer, who found this wiki when looking for the Xylophone Gag... He was only twenty-three then (found Gunnerkrigg Court through the site in October 2007 and witnessed The Great Crash), possibly even younger. Likes Video games, some Manga and Anime (but knows an awful lot less than his friends), and tabletop Role-Playing Games.
Plays Tabletop RPGs:
- In Nomine Satanis / Magna Veritas (french RPG In Nomine is based on)
- JTRM (MERP, Middle-Earth Role-Playing Game), the game with many tables. (but haven't played this one in ages — it was my first)
- L5R first edition
- Feng Shui
- Star Wars d20 Revised edition
- Pathfinder
- And lots of homebrewn games, based on "brouette de dés" (lots of dice) systems, most notably the Star Wars D6 RPG
Favorite video games:
- The Legend of Zelda since A Link To The Past and recently the latter's randomizer.
- Super Metroid since I learned of the crossover randomizer
- More recently The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.
- Super Smash Bros. since Melee
- Command & Conquer since the beginning!
- Half-Life 2 series, Team Fortress 2, Portal, Left 4 Dead
- Disgaea first of its name, still hoping Dimension 2 will someday be released on a platform I have
- Iji, Ittle Dew and a few other Ludosity games.
- Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
- XCOM: Enemy Unknown and its sequels
- Stellaris
- Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, played the Monster World IV remake when it came out.
- Shantae (Half-Genie Hero and Seven Sirens, should definitely play Pirate's Curse someday)
