About Baman
"Baman's Profile" the plaque on the door reads.
Opening it, you step into the room.
The small, tidy room is mostly empty, with nearly bare white walls and blue furniture,
with a window providing a good view to the Net outside.
In the middle of the room by the window, a young man sits in front of a desk.
shifting his gaze from the documents on the desk, he eyes you with a puzzled look.
"Oh, a visitor? Sorry, I'm afraid I didn't hear you coming" The man looks slightly
scruffy, with a poorly trimmed beard and a well-worn black shirt.
Removing his Headphones and tidying his papers, he gestures towards the
empty chair by the desk.
"Do sit down, no need to stand there in the door."
You close the door behind you and sit down in the chair.
The man adjusts his glasses and assumes a Gendo pose.
"So, what can I help you with? If you want to leave a comment, just drop them into
the post box by the door."
"Oh? You want to know about me?" He adjusts his glasses again and ponders for a moment.
"Well, you know, it's a bit hard for me to know what you want to know."
"Just the basics you say? Well, I can do that." He glances out the window for a moment, then continues.
"Well, I go by the name Baman. It's not a name with any real significance,
although it's origins might be a bit funny, but thats another story. I am a rather nihilistic and cynical person, and not really the most sociable kind.
After finishing my military service, I found myself crashing at my cousin's place in Bergen (also known as "City of Torrential Downpours") for my studies, since it's such a pain to get a place for a reasonable coin. I'm studying Psychology for a year to collect extra points so that I might get into Law studies next year. I also enjoy music, and I've got an office in LastFM as well.
I am also, like my peers her at MAL, an Anime and Manga enthusiast, and as for
my preferences, I've got my favourite lists right over there, and my Anime and Manga lists are up there on the wall. If you want some recommendations, I think I can safely recommend anything I have given a score of either 9 or 10."



"Oh, that picture? It's a Dugong. Rather peculiar creature, wouldn't you agree? It's been here on my desk since the last time I reorganized my Profile, so I thought, why not keep it?"
"My tags?" The man looks towards one of the stacks of paper on his desk.
"There they are. Well, as you can see, I tend to like the deep and tragic stories the most. I mean, a good comedy is always refreshing, but there are so many of those around, you know."
He opens a drawer, fishing out another file of documents. "These are the Anime and Manga Stats tables, although I must confess, I am unsure of how precise they are. Time flies by when you are enjoying yourself, and suddenly hours are gone in what seemed like minutes. Funny thing that, how we perceive time differently under different circumstances. Now, where were I..."
He opens another drawer and reveals another pile of papers. "Let's see...Here we've got the favourite Voice Actor list, the Club list, the Friend list, and...No, wait, the tags are over there, that's a bit odd. I have been reorganizing my profile recently, so things are a bit cluttered...Now. Ah, the Recommendations, the Reviews and lastly the RSS Feed. Never use that though."
"The Blog? No, sorry I don't really use that either. I did fill out one entry long ago, but that will most likely be the only one."
The man rises up from the chair and walks up to the wall with the door. He gestures towards the banners hanging there.



"That's my MAL Claim Banner. Alita is a brilliant character, you know. You can claim a character as well, Just ask at the MAL Claim Office, it's right down the hall outside. Huh? She's a cyborg? Yes, of course, I know that. What do you mean that's wierd? No, I don't have a "thing" for mechanical girls! That's absurd! She is simply an awesome and deep character. Well, alright, she is quite hot as well...Even if she has a mechanical body...But, look, that's completely beside the point!"
Baman adjusts his glasses and points at the next banner.



"That's the Banner for the "Club for The Appreciation of Hellsing" It's a Club I made back when the whole Club system was still a novelty. It's gotten quite a number of members now, and if you appreciate Hellsing as well, then you are more than welcome, just register at the Club Office at the second floor."



"And this is the Banner for the Claymore Club. It's a club for the Claymore Manga and it's admittedly mediocre anime counterpart, not for Claymore proximity mines or Claymore swords. Just so there's no confusion."

He walks back to the desk and sits back down in the chair.
"So, I guess that's about it. Unless you wanted to know anything else?"
"Well, here's my card, for future reference"



"Nice to meet you, enjoy yourself here at MAL. Oh, and please, do close the door when you are leaving. The draft makes my club banners blow away all the time you see..."
Baman adjusts his glasses and returns to his documents as you disappear out the
door and back into the corridors of MAL.

YES, diablo did and DOES have terrific multiplayer. i wish i could play D3. i bought a laptop recently and don't think i have the doe to blow on an actual computer. i'll have to leach off of my friend who's got this badass comp that can run Crysis at max settings.

never heard of legend of the galactic heroes.
 
doeman | 08-27-08, 2:03 PM
uh oh... ur a star craft fan... lemme ask you something. what are your views on the diablo series?

i'm in the same situation. i have tons of anime to watch and games to play but no matter how much i try to catch up, i still have allot ahead of me.
i just recently downloaded three 26 episode seasons.. why? cuz i'm an idiot. i haven't even started watching them yet because i gotta catch up to the weekly airing anime first.

it was, seirei no moribito, nodame cantabile and code geass S1. i'm downloading jigoku shoujo S1 right now. plus, i've got work in my clubs i have to do... which u aren't a part of btw.
join now =D
"All the Hot Girls in Anime" Club (1)
"All the Hot Girls in Anime" Club (2)

i wished sometimes that i could clone myself like in naruto and get multiple things done =D
 
doeman | 08-26-08, 7:29 PM
i never got the chance to play chrono cross cuz i didn't own a ps1. in any case, i heard that it wasn't a direct sequel to the story with the characters i came to love, so i said, "screw it".

and i didn't know cc was on the psp? is it an actual release or a downloaded port thingy?

i'm not THAT big of a star wars fan >_>
i mean, i like the movies and all but i've only owned one game from Lucas Arts. some star wars flying sim that came with my ps2. it was part of a bundle. -the star wars game, men in black 2 and ratchet and clank 1 (awesome series btw)

SO many awesome games coming out in the next year or so.

i've played my share of games where you can get either a good ending or bad ending. that's about it, nothing too serious. i don't remember playing something that allowed you to have completely different endings based on the way you progress through the game. although, i have played 2 games that kinda made it feel like your decisions during the game made the ending different each time. dunno if you've played em.

chrono trigger - the game is pretty straight forward, but what makes this one special, is that you can end it at almost any point in time. throughout specific checkpoints in the game, you are given a choice to fight the last boss OR maybe the choice is a secret that you have to find yourself in order to fight the final boss. either way, there's a shit load of endings. 15.
here's a site telling you what they are. (if you care)
http://www.rpgclassics.com/shrines/snes/ct/endings.shtml

fable - strange little game here... i remember the amount of hype (it never lived up to) that was surround around this one. "ur supposed to live the way YOU want to live in this game.""each players experience will be different"... not really. basically you play the game being a good or bad person. have a halo around your head and look like every ones hero or grow horns and look like the devil himself.
that's about it. im pretty sure the endings were relatively the same regardless of whether you were good or bad. you just play the game to see if the NPC's like you or not... still fun though
 
doeman | 08-26-08, 4:30 AM
wait, so once you choose a certain job class, you're stuck with it? you can't freely switch like in tactics?

i hope ff13 and v13 will have new game plus. and just asking but, when a game features new game plus, does that automatically mean you can start with max levels and such? or are the new game plus bonuses different depending on what game it is?
 
doeman | 08-22-08, 1:34 PM
LOL, thats true, why is it called the "international" version? =P

look how awesome this game sounds.
"The game includes twelve License Boards available (instead of the original one), each corresponding to a different Zodiac sign and job. The battle system as a whole has been tweaked; guest characters and summons are controllable by the player, and pressing the L1 button accelerates the game's speed. Additionally, the game features the English voices and the widescreen 16:9 ratio support of the North American version, as well as a bonus disc based on the one initially released with the North American version. Other new features such as new licenses, new spells and new gambits have been shown as well. There is also a "New Game+" option, as well as a new "Trial Mode" which allows the player to hunt monsters in 100 different maps to gain items and money."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XII#Versions_and_merchandise

if i could get my hands on this game, id probably replay it. love the new features. although, i dont think it'd work in my ps2 because of that whole "region based" bullshit.
 
doeman | 08-21-08, 9:57 PM
yea yea, i know most of your previous comment was based on the history of tactics. saying, "sounds so complicated, which is why i plan on watching the cutscenes from 12 all over again", was a mistake on my part. what i meant to say was that, because it sounded so complicated, it made me wanna re-watch the cutscenes from 12 because i was a bit confused with that story also. you mentioned allot of words that sounded very familiar to me and i know they were also mentioned in 12. i just dont remember that well.

i spent allot of time screwing around and leveling up in 12 and because of that, i would sometimes forget what exactly was happening in the story. not to mention i had like a 3 month break after about 40 hours into the game >_>

after i finally beat it, i assumed that it would have offered a "New Game +" feature where i could breeze through the game at level 99. that way, i would be able to see the cutscenes at a MUCH faster pace and maybe understand it a lil better. alas, no "New Game +" feature was there =(

then one day i came across the youtube vids. i'm a bit busy with getting all of my school shit together right now, but once that settles down, i'm gonna watch them.

and i really didn't find the story of 10 that great. didnt care for sin. i was only concerned with yuna falling in love with tidus... yea.. ivalice alliance rules!

ay, which group do you think are stronger? espers from the ivalice alliance or summons from all the other ff games?
 
doeman | 08-20-08, 6:34 PM
wow, i reread your comment about 3 times and still have trouble understanding the story. sounds so complicated, which is why i plan on watching the cutscenes from 12 all over again. at youtube, someone posted all of the cutscenes in a series of of videos, (part 1, 2, 3 etc)

maybe if i re-watch them, i can better understand the story. i had always wished that 12 had an option to replay the game via "New Game +" but unfortunately it doesn't. there's no way in hell i'm spending another 80-90 hours on that game JUST to see the cutscenes.

it starts with the prologue, if your interested. then click to part 1, 2 and so on.

doeman | 08-20-08, 6:15 AM
dunno if you've already seen this. its an ivalice time line. below the chart, it shows you the significant events that took place in FF12 and FF tactics.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ivalice-time.jpg

as you can see, there is a probable connection between the two time lines because of a person named "St Ajora". this could mean that 12 and tactics, do in fact, take place in the same world.

by the way, what exactly was this "cataclysm" you speak of. it also mentions it in the link i posted above.
"A catastrophe befalls the civilization at this age."
 
doeman | 08-19-08, 7:19 PM
Tetsuya Nomura said that it would be the darkest FF yet. sounds cool, and the fact that its an action rpg couldn't make me any happier. i like traditional rpgs and all but, i feel better button smashing ;-D

i heard something interesting in the past about vagrant story. i think that game took place in Ivalice. something about that games' history and FF have something in common. i don't know for a fact though since i haven't played it.
 
doeman | 08-19-08, 3:02 AM
i'll admit that the battle system was more "livelier" than in X but i found it a bit annoying. i didnt like transforming through different dress spheres in battle. especially, when you wanted to use a special dress sphere. they'd make you go through a series of transformations just to get to it.

i never played tactics on the ps1 but i own in on the gba. LOVE that game. story is w/e, but its the game play that makes it fun. i have ff: tactics A2 but i've only put about 2 hours on it >_>
i'll probably find time to pick it up sometime during school next week =P
 
doeman | 08-18-08, 12:22 AM
lol wtf. i didnt even know blitz ball was in x-2. i never finished the game anyways. i stopped at the last chapter. got too boring.

i remember some game called.... eh.. *does research*

Sphere Break!! yes, thats what it was called. had to do with a bunch of numbers and crap. it was like a board game. x-2 sucked to me >.<
