Evening, peoples of the pokecommunity. I, as may have already been surmised, am MalRune.
"And just who might this... MalRune fellow be?", you might ask, and rightfully so -- you came to an introduction thread for an introduction, after all, and I fully intend to indulge you. For those who have yet to be frightened off by my (intimidatingly unusual?) manner of speech as of yet, I feel this is the best time to warn of my tendency to speak at great length, though I also feel that such information may have already been made through observation.
Do I do it on purpose? I must inform you that I do no such thing -- this is both my natural manner of speech as well as the form I feel most comfortable using. I have, in the past, attempted to write with much more simplicity, only to have it take quadruple the time and procure a splitting headache in the process. 'twas not pleasant, I assure you.
Now that the warning label has been applied, let us get down to business :
I started playing pokemon at a very young age, starting with the red version and quickly growing to it, but I have been a gamer before even that. My very first lengthy word I learned to spell was "Continue", and many other firsts are property solely of the games of my youth (I, for one, do not understand why so many people feel that Battletoads is so difficult :>).
My best memories of the game was trading my Mewtwo to my friend for a level 1 Articuno that he happened to get with a Gameshark (vehemently protesting against getting a level 100 one). I raised that baby from level 1 up to 100 (Peck against Caterpies was xD) and it was my most prized possession.
I may even be able to remember the team... :
Gengar
Jolteon
Articuno
Venusaur
(can't remember the rest... ._.")
That aside, I tend to favor pokemon less for their battling ability and more for the personal sentiments I hold for them. There's very little satifaction in beating an enemy with a team of "only the strongest" if those pokemon hold no appeal for me to begin with, so why fill my team with them? It's much more gratifying to take the misfits I am so fond of and turn them into a working, deadly team. Nothing better.
Hum. Oh, my reason for arriving here is due to my recent interest in ROM Modification (aka Hacking >_>) in order to develop my abilities as a game designer and programmer as well as to create a game that many others can thoroughly enjoy.
Hunh... oh. I'm currently playing Bioshock I (Survivor mode, Vita-Chambers off o3o) and Elder Scrolls IV : Oblivion (Custom Class : "Impedimonk" -- cloth wearing hand-to-hand combat user with Alteration and other magic skills designed to increase/decrease burden/endurance >:]). Old games, but I just recently managed to purchase a PS3 (mainly for Disgaea, but I managed to get sidetracked...), so they're new for me.
When I'm not playing games, I'm probably reading some manga and the occasional anime. The list is available upon request, but this post is lengthy enough as it is and, of the few people have even managed to read to this point (virtual cookie for those who have), even fewer would probably be interested.
And when I'm neither playing games nor reading manga, I'm probably daydreaming of one of the two (unless I'm asleep, in which case I'm just plain dreaming about them).
Hmm... I suppose I'll stop while I'm skirting the outskirts of novel material. Questions are more than just welcome -- they are encouraged -- and I hope to hear a few good ones.
