An introduction? Okay, you can do it, buddy, remember the simulations.
Hi, my real name is Gustavo, was born and raised in Brazil but English is the one language I love.
My moniker, as you can see, Gray_Angus has a very special meaning to me, you see, when I thought of it I thought it sounded kinda cool. My interests stretch as far as books, movies, music, games, and anime.
Okay, nothing new huh? Okay then, I'll expand a little:
When it comes to literature I'm more of a fan of traditional novels, books such as Name Of The Rose, Moby Dick, Lord Of The Flies, Primo Basilio (doubt anyone will recognize this one), and others of the sort. I like it when it's more introspective and doesn't spell it out to you its meaning. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate some good old fun books too, stuff from Agatha Christie, Dan Brown never really hurt anyone. I guess I can also extend and say it that I too like Graphic Novels, (which to me it sounds like a fancy name for COMICS), your casual superhero stuff, Batman, Justice League, Watchmen and others of the sort, but also read ones such as Black Hole and Essex County, which have an unconventional art style and narrative, no supers here.
And obviously, this extends to manga, I may not be as experienced as some users, but I still read it slowly but surely all the ones I own, 20th Century Boys, Ghost In The Shell, and MW just to name a few.
When it comes to movies I consider myself a pretentious amateur, I like movies from every genre and decade, however, am highly critical and like to over-analyze it as well. Movies such as Goodfellas and Blues Brothers are among my favorites.
When it comes to music I quite enjoy mostly 70's British Rock, all your Prog stuff from that time, AOR from the '80s, and a little bit of everything else in between. Rock is not all I listen to, I too like myself some good old jazz, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Dave Brubeck to name a few. Blues as well, B.B King, John Lee Hooker, and others. Some traditional Brazillian music, but not much. There's probably some more I'm forgetting.
Games, now that's my favorite one. I love games with a burning passion. I love to analyze games, talk about game design for hours, and straight-up play them. All the other hobbies I mentioned I came to enjoy them at around, 14, 15 years old, but not games, this is something I did since a kid. My favorites are Kingdom Hearts ( I and II), Chrono Trigger, Uncharted series, Zelda games, that's about right for now.
Finally, anime, I came to watch anime after being super curious for months but being too stubborn to give in, "what, I don't watch that kind of nerdy crap, what do you take me for?" How naive was I, for two months later I watch Dragon Ball for the first time, at 14. "Well, whatever, everybody watched DB when younger, so what?" Little did young me knew that sooner than expected he would be watching Sakura-sō no Pet na Kanojo and from then on he was hooked. Ever since then I've been watching it quite often, no I don't watch as much as some of you guys, I'm a very slow watcher, but hey, why rush?
Lengthy isn't it? Hope that's okay. Anyway, see ya suckers haha (just kidding please don't leave me). |
