I discovered tvtropes when, in a thread about Final Fantasy VI on /v/, someone post a link to the article for
Seinfeld Is Unfunny. I lurked for a bit, then I started to edit pages around here. I'm 22 years old and I'm an English major at a community college in Illinois. I don't really know what else to say because I think I'm a boring person. When I'm not in my college classes, I'm usually here editing entries, reading a book, watching
House or Hell's Kitchen, or playing something (as of late, strictly
RPGs) on my
XBox 360,
PS2, or
Gamecube. Recently, I've been trying to make time to read more of Anne Sexton's complete works.
I've edited mostly the following:
The heavy focus on
RPGs is because I've been on a real RPG spree over the past four months when
Tales of Vesperia introduced me to the
Tales Series, then
Tales of Symphonia, then
Tales of the Abyss, and then
Tales of Phantasia with
DeJap's great
Fan Translation.

Here's a funny story about my earliest video game-related memory: When I was four years old, I started playing
Legend of Zelda for NES. I finally made it to Level 9 and my cousin, who is eight years older than I am, helped me as much as he could over the phone; he himself had not beaten the game yet. Amazingly, I managed to defeat Gannon and his teleport/invisibility bullshit at the age of four. As soon as Gannon turned into a pile of ashes, I burst into tears. I thought I broke the game because, unlike every other enemy in the game, Gannon did not disappear; he "melted" as I described it. My brother rushed upstairs as soon as he heard me cry and asked what was wrong. I told him that I broke the game because Gannon melted. He told me that I didn't break the game; I beat the game.
