Hello everyone

I've been here for around a week already and I didn't realize there was subforum for introductions..
Guess I got carried away after finding such nice community of other RE fans !

I'm 25 years old male from Finland, educated as graphic designer / printing assistant.
My current job is at printing office for newspaper called Aamulehti. I work in night shifts - 6 nights a week - that's why people might see me being online at odd hours, after 4 AM to 8 AM. To me that is "evening" ^_^

I do alot of sports and excerises - been doing it for around 7 years now. At summer I bicycle and roller skate, winter is mostly about gym and jogging/running.
I have massive amount of different sport tools; bike, exercise cycle, crosstrainer, 3 pairs of roller skates with different wheel sizes and ankle support, 4 pairs of sneakers with different level of attenuation, etc etc, and many more.. One could say too many.
Nowadays sports are more of an addiction than hobby to me.

I have played alot of games on playstation, nintendo and pc. Currently Im playing RE:ORC, FFXIII-2 and WoW.
My favourite series are Silent Hill, Final Fantasy, Dead Space, Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil.

So far I've had great time here discussing about games - or unrelated stuff - and hopefully I can enjoy bout that in future aswell !

I am glad you are enjoying this community.

And you shall enjoy it even more, I am sure.

Welcome anyhow.

MGS is amazing serie of games ! Hopefully some day some good director will create a movie out of it
The latest one had alot of cutscenes but the storyline just blew my mind off. And ofc, heliport part you had to play from original MGS from 1998. Ahh, so nostalgic..
What do you think about MGS: Rising ? Or more officially Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
Konami seems to take quite a leap there with more action, similiar to what has happened with RE and ORC. Don't think it's that bad tho considering Raiden will be the main character !

And I do love your sig.

Thank you, it's the latest one I've made. Phoria is my nick in WoW so I made this one for my guild forums.
I don't make that many signatures but once I get some brilliant idea I just have to actualise it !

Guess we dont have many RE game fanatics in Finland :[
Or finns are not taking it any further than just playing the games.

Welcome . Nice to see another fan of both RE and FF. What is your favorite RE and FF game?

I wish there will be a member from the netherlands sometime. Lyfes is the closest thing I'll get probably D:

It's really hard to say which one is exactly my favourite. Whenever someone asks me this question about Final Fantasies I start to think about them individually and I realize they all had so many upsides. If I had to choose top 3, that would be 5, 8 and 10. Yes, FF7 doesn't belong to my absolute favourites, but it still was an amazing game !
Least favourite one would be FFX-2. Don't get me wrong tho, it wasn't as horrible as people tend to say it was. I still liked dress-sphere system and some other elements in game, but it had least upsides compared to others.

From Resident Evils it would definetly be the first one. Reason to pick that one is not just because it was so good game but because I have alot of good memories playing it with bunch of friends on summer holidays when I was around 9-10 years old.

Welcome!

I use to loooooove FFX-2, was my fave FF, not even kidding
I hated it when people say it's the worst, I still do, though I like FFXII the most now.

Nice choices. My favorite FF game is FFIX but I think that IV-X are all masterpieces. My least favorite in the main series is XIII, followed by X-2 (I love the battle- and job system and the non-linearity, but it was a bit too girly for me, I didn't like the story and how the characters changed. Overall good game though).

My favorite RE game is REmake, followed by RE2 and CV but I love all of them.

Hi, welcome to the forum!!!!!

Welcome to REF where infection and insanity is unavoidable among us. Do enjoy your stay!

Those are some awesome game series that you like that. I've played all of them except MGS.

And your sig is most awesome, hope to see more of your work around and about.

FFX-2 was a bad sequel but not a bad game.
It was a HUGE change from FFX, yeah a bit too girly, but I'm a girl so I didn't mind.
I remember hating the fact that Wakka and Lulu were having a baby,
FFX-2 was the first FF I've ever played but I just knew they weren't good together, didn't like that.
