    I like. I have never owned any of the Fire Emblem games, but my friend is an absolute nut for them. The piece is well made and it's enjoyable, so i'll give it about a 8 out of ten.

    My friend, will give it a "Dan outta Dan."

    My favorite Colour is Purple, followed by grey.

    1.10526315789 or 1.10 for short.

    Narrow, you're gorgeous. You process a natural beauty that no mere mortal processes.

    And, might as well say it, i dont really have one. Never really talked to the staff much, but i like Eight and Tyro.

    Garrus & Shepard: "Because there is no Shepard without Vakarian." I found this romance adorable, hilarious and possibly one of the best romances in video game history, everything about it just seems so perfect. Kaidan was really nice as well, but only if your Femshep. NEVER!, repeat, NEVER romance Kaidan as Broshep unless you want to wash your eyes with bleach when you get to....those cutscenes.

    Speaking of Mass Effect, me and my friend Someoddball (He's on another site and we best friends at school) are writing a fanfic based in the M.E universe. It involves AI's, everybody trying to kill those AI's, and humor. I will only say that to avoid spoilers.

    It's been a while Zoe. Not too much has happened, just some things here and there :)

    I have a question; have you played all Mass Effects? If so, which one did you favour the most?
    Personally myself, I've played all 3. Although never bothering to do the end of ME3 due to knowing the end because of my Brother, so I just left it when I shot the Illusive man.
    My favourite was Mass Effect 1, I preferred the armour/weapon customization and the game overall.

    I just stopped once you get to the starchild in 3. Just completely ruined the experience and the choices. To have worked on it for so long, and to experience THAT!

    But anyway, 2 was my favorite. I liked 1, but it was very different to the style i played before in 2 and 3. I must admit, the plot was starting to get boring until you encounter Sovereign, and that reaper made the game for me alongside Saren's "is submission not preferable to extinction?" quote on Virmire. Armor and Weapon customization is fantastic in that, but build your Shep class-wise was critical, as those choices will help and hinder you later. To avoid any missing links, i played as a solider due to having all the weapons training and that it was a class that interested me, since my first playthrough of 3 was a Sentinel. I played all 3, but 1 and 2 took forever to finish due to having to finish 'Everything' to ensure those extra choices in 2 and 3, not to mention help with other squad members. Seriously, having Legion and Tali loyal in 2 and then having them alive by the time of either saving the Geth or Quarian in 3 is a lifesaver, i get two fleets for the price of....well...one.

    3 felt shorter for some reason, but still took me about a month to finish. 1 and 2 both took me 3 months. If EA were not involved in 3's ending, and the entire team at Bioware worked together for the ending and having Shep survive would have made the whole controversy never happen.

    I also learned a valuable lesson, "Always take Garrus...."

    You know that novel you said you were writing a while back. The one where you were asking for nation names and stuff. How's it going currently.

    Hey Crim ^_^ I don't know much about you actually. What interests would you think people should know about, if you were going to just list a few? Also cool cutie mark.

    Sure. Going to start about myself first.

    You guys know me as Crimson Lionheart, or Crim, which is obviously short for Crimson. I live in South Australia in Gawler, a town of 20,000 located in the northern suburbs of Adelaide with serves as the gateway between the ‘entry’ of Adelaide’s suburbs and the world famous Barossa Valley which is 30 minutes away. I’m a high school student in the 11th grade, and I’m skinny, ginger, and only about 5ft 8in, which is short when in comparison to my friends.

    I’m a gamer and a movie fanatic. My favourite games being the Fallout and Mass Effect series, alongside Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Super Smash Brothers Brawl which I play with my brother and sister. I have entered the state tournament for Super Smash Brothers Brawl and won three matches, before losing to the state champions. My friend has come 2nd place in the Tekken Tournament this year, with hopes of winning next year.

    My favourite movies are The Dark Knight, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Inglorious Bastards, Downfall/Der Untergang and Howl’s Moving Castle. I review movies time and time again on the site, however, I cannot seem to make promises due to my insane timetable demands. I have almost written one of them, and it’s almost finished and will be uploaded soon.

    Any interests that I would recommend is CGI Animation, something of a dream job I wish to leave school for. Another is movies, because movies are always good. I wish to have Source Filmmaker for my laptop, but would not handle the space.

    Oh, and my cutie mark is the Brotherhood of Steel logo from Fallout. I formerly had the NCR Ranger logo from the same game, and had a movie clipboard before. But anyway, thanks for the compliment.

    Oh neat. I study computer science and video game programming. Though I'm programmer at a tech-focused school we do need to do some humanities too so I've actually tried the computer animation side of thing. I'm not the best with standard art, but computer animation is kind of cool in that you don't necessarily have to be. They aren't particularly good but will you take a look at some of my animation? (Sorry these aren't good >_> )

    Note the later two are much more complex.

    This is from the first animation class (NOTE: I did not make the model, we were giving teaching models to animate). This assignment was to have him do a walk cycle that shows a particular emotion then have him go and pick up and throw a bowling ball. I know there is a bad motion when he first lifts the ball onto his knee. (Also note: there is sound in this one) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3c_-8Icrf0

    This was from the same class, the point was to figure out how to synchronise two models. This was before I a had any clue about Camera transitions. The two guys are arm wrestling, one is struggling so much that he cheats and grabs with his other hand. The other stays calm until the very end and then smirks and slams the first guys hand, or that's what it's supposed to be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_9RC9yW8sw

    This was the final project from the first class. The requirements were basically a simple short, with two characters, and rather simple actions (there was a time limit too for the length of the short, I forgot it). This one was done with teams of 2. It's hard to say who did what, because we switched off the mouse constantly and also corrected eachother's motions and such. My friend Eric who was not in the class did the voices for my team. The sound is fairly important to what's going on. Also they are short, but watch through the credits:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxDUvsKX-cs

    Later on I took a more advanced animation practicum. The assignment for the duration of the class was to ultimately have a 2 to 4 minute short based off of a short story. I was on a team of 3 I think, and this time we made and rig the characters ourselves, except for the munk character (which we got a premade model for but redid the texture). I did not do the wrigging but I made the non-human moving models. I also did the initial design for the human models but one of the group members remade them so they could be rigged better. We all did about the same amount of animating. I got my friends to voice act for me again. It's based off of a Japanese folktale about a tanuki (a Japanese animal that looks like a raccoon, and in mythology is believed to be able to transform into things, but often can't hid their tail)

    I cannot program in the slightest form, but i do know how to animate well. They dont seem to teach it at my school, which sucks. Instead, i could get into a course at Uni or TAFE. Sucks, being a always C/C+ student. I feel like an average joe.

    Also, feel free to ask me whatever. I love whatever
