    Your Favorite Instrument..

    I've played guitar since a young age and have 15+ years under my belt so it's without a doubt my favorite. One other that's kind of out there that I'd love to learn is the hammered dulcimer. Very common in Celtic music and there's much more articulation you can get hammering the strings...

    Jon Bon Jovi

    He's huge around my parts as Bon Jovi is from neighboring New Jersey and he owns an Arena Football team in Philly. Good 80's band - lousy transition. Their new stuff has been awful (we get it Jon - it's your life and you wanna live while your alive - you don't need to put the same line in...

    Racism

    I grew up in a very rural area of the northeastern United States - racism was/is very common, and people were fairly open about it, probably because the area was 99% white at the time and they felt there was no one around to offend. It's kind of surreal looking back, sitting there in Jr High...

    What's your real name?

    My real name is Basch Fon Ronsenberg.......but I had the subtitles option turned off.:| My driver's license says 'Ryan' so that's what I go by outside of the internets.

    The LIKE thread

    This time of year when it starts to get a little cold an the smell of people burning their fireplaces and decaying leaves are in the air. Waking up to a nice, clean house on Saturday morning. Having to start my weekend cleaning up the reminders of the work week just pisses on the whole thing...

    Have you ever had surgery that altered your appearance?

    Braces for 4.5 years and actually had to force the Ortho to take them off before I went to college. I had 4 teeth pulled prior to getting them on and I think they created gaps that were just too big to close in the typical 4 year timeframe. I'm contemplating Invisilign to try to and finish...

    Favorite Food and drink

    Oh yeah - I forgot a drink. It's a little off the beaten path but I really think my favorite is a Michelada. You take a salt-rimmed glass filled with ice and add a squeeze of lime juice, a couple dashes of worchestershire sauce, and a couple dashes of hot sauce. Then, pour in a light Mexican...

    Favorite Food and drink

    Hard to nail down one - in general I'm a huge fan of slow-cooked meats over all else. A big, bone-in pork shoulder shredded for BBQ sandwiches, Cuban flank braised for hours and served over rice, or dark meat chicken in a good mole. I also have a weakness for Pho with lots of flank, basil...

    Musings about FFXII

    Favorite Point in game? (storyline;plot;video)

    I like the parade where Rinoa was attacked by the Iguions. For some reason I always liked Galbadia Garden and fighting the Slappers in the hockey rink.

    Your worst part?

    I find the worst part to be the part after I turn on the power switch. :| Seriously though, while not a specific part, the whole draw system just steps on my nuts. It's mind numbing. As for specific parts: - Desert prison was anoying. - The sewers. I hate any part with small, repetitive...

    FF7: Hardest Boss?

    The 2 I always have trouble with are both optional and in Wutai, which I always did right after Rocket Town: RAPPS and Godo. If you're not prepared to deal with Wind damage then RAPPS can shred you w/i a few rounds with Aero3. I didn't read up until recently that you could beat down Godo...

    Favorite FF VII tracks

    I like the piano version of Tifa's Theme exponentially better than the actual game track. I also think Farm Boy is criminally underrated. Aerith's Theme is just fantastic. It might be one of the best pieces of video game music of all time.

    Final battle party

    This. Getting 9,999 out of Freya's Dragon Crest is a snap if you used the Lv5 Death Grand Dragon leveling trick. Zidane and Steiner are both close to max damage as well and Zidane's trance just shuts things down in a hurry. Dagger just sits backs and heals with one hand - twiddles herself...

    Hunts and Side Quests

    I've had the game for 3 years and there's still a truck-load of stuff I haven't done: - Beat Behemoth King, Hell Wyrm, Omega, Yiazmat and Shadow Seer. - I still have 2 rare game left - Luxolid and Vagrant Soul - beacause I've berely touched the Subterra. - Never fought Zodiark (but have all...

    Too Short?

    I can see where you're coming from. I always felt - if you stuck simply to story progression and didn't stop to do hunts/rare game/weapons/armor, etc, then it can feel like it moves very quickly. Then again, I think that's often the indication of good game. Much like a really good movie - a...

    What annoys you?

    One that has gotten under my skin lately is people who are overdramatic when they're ordering food. You're standing in line at a deli counter and some twat is reading aloud everything on the menu, asking himself questions, trying to involve the people around him who obviously don't give a...

    Steel Panther!!

    They're more prominantly known in the US as a 80's hair metal cover band who's been playing the strip since the music was new. There's a ton of stuff on youtube of them with celebrity guests and other prominent musicians.

    FFXII: Love It or Hate It?

    Love it like a fat kid loves cake. Great characters, great battle system, great locations, music, etc. The story is a little short in terms of pure chronology but there's constant linkage to the events of the previous 2 years so it seems longer. My only gripe is the the flow is disrupted at...
