Mohammed, 21, Kuwait. I play videogames regularly, I watch movies casually and I drink coffee constantly. To extend upon this, my favorite game of all time is Super Metroid, my favorite movie is 2001: A Space Odyssey (directed by Stanley Kubrick) and my favorite type of coffee is Nescafe. When I'm bored of life and games I'm usually reading in my bed, sipping through my own cup of misery. I work in a very dull environment surrounded by some very dangerous equipments that could blow the country to pieces. I dream of creating an 8-bit game with some interesting gameplay mechanics in which I already planned. But that's not gonna happen. That's why it's called a dream.

50 things you know about me

And I’m posting them to show off.

  1. I live in a country that’s so beautiful. What, you really expect me to bash my own country?
  2. I hate studying for major exams
  3. I hate driving more, much more
  4. I hate Apple, ‘Think Different’ doesn’t necessarily mean better
  5. Albeit that, I love my iPod to death
  6. I love Microsoft but I absolutely hate Windows
  7. I think Legend of Zeldas (3D) are shallow blocky pixels
  8. People resent my taste because of this
  9. I love Nuts & Bolts more than Super Mario Galaxy
  10. The above sentence is written to drive you nuts
  11. I used to hate Sushi but now I’m in love with it, especially the shrimp-stuffed one
  12. I hate Sony more than Apple
  13. I hate games that relies too much on nudity rather than focusing on building an engaging gameplay (hello, God of War)
  14. I hate Final Fantasy VII and think of it as a piece of gaming garbage
  15. If you happen to love Final Fantasy VII you are automatically delisted from my friend’s list, but who cares
  16. I think that Spectral Force 3 is a better game than Final Fantasy VII
  17. The above sentence is not supposed to be a joke
  18. Buffalo’s Chicken Wings (from Buffalo’s West Cafe) is my new favourite main dish
  19. Although I have a fetish for Mega Man; Samus is my favorite gaming character
  20. The Boy in the Striped Pyjama is my favorite fable of all time. While it’s not perfect, and critically won’t stand a chance, I still love it because it reminds me of some past experiences
  21. The above sentence reflects my gloomy nature
  22. And that reminded me that I love Vileplume a lot. A lot, to the point where I constructed a whole Grass Deck as a tribute for him. Or it. Whatever
  23. I play Pokemon Trading Card Games since ‘98. While I never played a real match since 3 years (because my friend quit this pricey hobby) I never stopped collecting new expansions and pre-constructed decks. If there is one reason for wanting to live in the US, it’s to find someone to play this awesome game with. I’m tired of replaying the Gameboy game bazillion time
  24. Wikipedia is my favorite site, because it taught me better than highschool and college combined
  25. I love Rare a lot. In fact, I love Rare more than any other game company in the industry. They, along with Capcom, knows how to tickle me in the right place
  26. This generation made me hate Nintendo a-freaking-lot
  27. I love Western RPGs more than Easterns because they doesn’t have flashy multi-colored animu characters
  28. And that’s why Final Fantasy Tactics is my favorite RPG of all time. It’s the most mature role-playing game I have ever played. God where have you vanished to, Matsuno. I want a goddamn sequel! >:(
  29. I officially hate Metal Gear Solid 4, mainly for the scripted gameplay sequences and the story mashup that just doesn’t feel right. Worth a rent, though, but far from being a great game. Here’s a hint: it’s not on my best of 2008 list, and those who are claiming it to be teh best game evarr!! really need to buckle up and play more games, or maybe swtich to films if they like 9 hours of boring cut-scenes
  30. When it comes to opinions, 99% of the time I don’t take others seriously nor give a care about what they think about anything. If I happen to take your opinions seriously, you should be something special. Or maybe not, who knows
  31. That doesn’t mean I don’t respect other’s opinions, because these are totally different matters
  32. ]Despite what’s written in the blog’s header, I hadn’t drank any coffee since almost 2 months
  33. I love silent (rather atmospheric) games. Metroids, Mega Mans (up to 3, followed by 9), Super Mario Brothers, and so on. I hate how the industry is shaping up to be cinematic rather than building on its own basis
  34. While I always look sad and angry in all the photos (you all should’ve seen my graduation’s album) I’m really a joyous person. Well kinda
  35. I hate it when people think it’s cool to post ‘: )’ intead of ‘:)’. Stick to the borderlines and stop creating non-sense mumbles like ^_^ and its sisters. :-) is the way to go!
  36. My favorite sitcom is The Office (US), followed by Frasier and Seinfeld
  37. I generally dislike animes, but currently I’m falling in love with Kaiji. Recommended for those who are seeking a tragic show, it really makes you hate humanity, which is awkward to me, that an anime can make me feel this way. 5 stars, go get it
  38. I love chocolate more than Samus
  39. While I won’t recommend it to anyone since most people fail at analyzing movies; I consider 2001: A Space Odyssey to be the best film ever made. Not sure why, it’s a combination of my love towards Astronomy, and the fact that it’s partially a silent movie with some of my favorite classics. Requiem for a Dream is another favorite of mine, which people also won’t get
  40. I rarely use my mobile phone, though I would never live without it
  41. I’m the laziest person you may ever know. I’m the Slowpoke of our kind
  42. Speaking of that, and I never mentioned this before; but Crobat is my all-time favorite Pokemon. In my Pearl cartridge I caught a shiny Zubat and evolved it to shiny Crobat BUT MY CARTRIDGE GOT STOLEN >:( may the person who stole it be burned in the depth of hell with Satan. Hell yeah I’m serious, we’re talking about Crobat here >:\
  43. My favorite song of all time is The Dress, by Blonde Redhead
  44. I stopped designing big projects in Adobe Photoshop due to time constraints (ideas, too), but I’m always up for small ones
  45. I never published my last (and best, in my opinion) design because… well, no one would really knows what I’m throwing at. Regardless, you can take a look at it now
  46. After knowing the full, true story behind the Holocaust (by reading tons of books recommended to me by gaffers) I came to the conclusion that humanity sucks big time, no matter how you spin it
  47. Aside from Chris Kohler and Roger Ebert, I really lost hope in the so-called proffessional reviewers, and sought to review games for me, myself and I while clinging to the best individuals, here and there but not everywhere
  48. I’m not thinking about marriage, not even in the long run, because I know I’ll never find a person who suits me perfectly. I have my Pokemons at least, am I right?
  49. Super Metroid is my favorie game because its emptiness resembles my heart when… who am I kidding! I like it because it’s sheer perfection sauce in every imaginable way. You thought I’ll get all emo at the end, huh? have at you!
  50. God I don’t know what to write. Gonna get some sleep before eating dinner with a friend of mine

PHEW.
