LO! IT IS I! X!
You find a dark, damp cave ahead, guarded by a set of bushes. Sound can be heard from within, echoing. Miles of tunnels and more than a few
Death Traps lie ahead. Do you enter the cave?

THOU PICK YES!
I didn't!
Shut Up Mortal!
Describe X Here.
Where to begin? I am, and am not.
I'm the new guy here, so none of you know me, really. I'm a troper, duh, who enjoys movies, TV shows, books, but mostly
Video Games.
Huge
Nerd, so expect me to start ranting over physics and overanalyzing things that most commonly fall in the purview of the
MST3K Mantra. It is our sacred duty to analyze and unravel the mysteries of fiction and art.
I believe that art is more than art itself. Art, fiction, everything is related to every other piece of culture our humanity has created, it's all linked together as one. Paintings have inspired music, music has inspired books, books have inspired movies, movies have inspired
Video Games,
Video Games have inspired animation, Animation has inspired Music, everything is correlated together, which is why I wanted to start a review show. Sadly, I'm a bit
Brilliant, but Lazy, so... yeah.
That last paragraph was too serious so here's a funny word like badger.
BADGER
See?
hilarious.
In any cases, you can find my stuff in the following pages:
I'm also on steam and PSN as
Pheleos, so if you want to play some games, just specify you're a troper and I might as well play :)
That's the basic info on me. I lurk in the forums, mostly on the
Video Games section, on any topic of a game I feel like talking about.

Favourite books I recommend
- Right now I'm reading The Day of the Jackal, and enjoying it quite, even considering that Frederick Forsyth is the great master of Padding.
- Also from Mr. Forsyth, I read Avenger a few years back, absolutely breathtaking, fantastic, epic. I recommend it fully.
- I enjoyed The Russia House by John Le Carre quite a lot, even thought its narrative wasn't quite something I'd ussually enjoy.
- Jeanette Walls' Crystal Castle (though I read it in Spanish, so I might have the title wrong, feel free to correct). Endearing, human, fun, and most importantly, it's got a powerful message. I'd recommend it with my eyes closed.
- Lord of The Game by Sidney Sheldon. Although it could do without all the sex, it truly is a masterpiece of political thrillers. The scope of going through decades of the family's history, betrayals and alliances, it feels like an epic, huge book. Downer Ending though. Has a sequel.
- Really, just about anything by Isaac Asimov. The man is truly a genious.
- I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream. Full stop, if you don't know this work already, hand in your nerd badge.
- I haven't given myself to read it, but (here's a shocker), I'd recommend any upcoming authors to read Twilight. It truly is a perfect example of how to screw up so bad you end up in the So Bad Its Horrible section, and anyone who wants to know how to write a book should see this as an example of how not to write a book, and in that regard, the books are just perfect.
- Monstrous Regiment.
Video Games I own, have finished and recommend
- Have Played, but don't own:
- The Ace Combat series', from Ace Combat 2 to Ace Combat Zero. A real masterpiece of flight, a touching war story, and some of the Narmiest dialogue you will ever hear.
- Final Fantasy, from I to VI. I haven't played any others, but I have incredibly fond memories of the first couple games.
- The whole Super Mario series' from the NES to the N64. It is, truly, a turning point for console gaming.
- The Ultima Games, even Ultima VII and Ultima IX. They represent a good portion of what RPG's used to be, and its downfall is a perfect example of how can even the greatest fall.
- The whole The Legend of Zelda series, up until Twilight Princess.
- Games I own Right now (PS3), games with an asterisk at the end are games I'm willing to play online.
- Steam:
Tropes I have observed reflect my personality in some way or form
Tropes some people may think apply to me, if they feel like adding some

- Just another possibility of the Continuum Shift. - X2X
- Fuckin' Time loops, how do they work?
- Ask Terumi. He's the one responsible for everything being so screwy in the first place. - X2X

- Did you just say something? - Chris X
- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah shit.
