Personal

I am a high-school student. I don't think I've failed a grade before.

I live somewhere in Canada. I think it was somewhere near the West Coast.

I am Chinese by ethnicity.

I am 17. Or at least, I was the last time I calculated my age.

I hate chocolate, nuts, and anything that is deep fried or sweet.

I love salty things, especially chicken (when its not fried) and eggs.

I like to watch Anime.

I have been fried trying to disarm a SD Demon's LRed more than once.

FreeSpace Stuff

I came upon FreeSpace through a variety of methods. The first time I saw the game mentioned was when a member of the Star Wars: Empire at War / Forces of Corruption community mentioned something about making a FreeSpace mod. I followed a link to Wikipedia and read a little about what game it was. Since I was mostly interested in RTS games, and because I did not know of FSO, I simply read the summary. For some reason, I kept imagining that the SD Lucifer somehow looked like a Vaygr battlecruiser from Homeworld 2. Don't ask me why, I do not know. Actually, I though the entire game was more or less a space sim version of Homeworld. Strange, yes.

A few months later, I followed a link to a free RTS/RTT game called Battleships Forever. While browsing the forums there, I came across a thread from a person looking for free space-faring games. One of the suggestions was FreeSpace. Someone (I think it was TrashMan), posted a few screenshots with full graphical enhancements. Needless to say, I was impressed. Even more so at the fact it was free. I browsed around this Wiki for a while, looking at the ship classes, etc. However, finding a way to install FSO nearly proved beyond me. I was lucky to stumble upon Turey's installer. Then it took me a while to find the MediaVPs graphical enhancements. I didn't download them with the installer because I had no idea what they were. Not until extensive lurking did I ever find out how to get them.

Then the bugged SD Ravana model bit me in the ass the first time I played Slaying Ravana. But that's a different story.

Currently, I am working on my own custom campaign, of which the details will not be released. All I will say is that it will probably suck, and that it has somewhere between 12 and 14 missions. Oh, and that you play as a Terran, but fly Shivan craft only. Yea, that.
