Hola!

[hamimi_fk]

Where to begin? I go by the name Bat (self appointed nickname) and I'm 24 years old. I've played video games since I was in diapers. My mom is a gamer too , has been since before I was born (and STILL is at 45). The very first system I played was Atari as a baby and later, Nintendo (when it was brand new - my mom had to have it). I seem to have a natural knack for playing video games, be it from playing from such a young age or out of luck, and I tend to piss off (usually my bro) or amaze people with my skills (don't misjudge though, I'm not cocky nor do I compete, just play because I love to). I've also recently realized that my seven year old sister is a gamer. <3

I love RPG games above all other genres but I play everything. Can't play FPSs for too long though because they start making me nauseous. Also don't play MMORPG games because I have an old computer. T-T

Consoles I currently own: XBox (broken though *sigh*), Game Boy (still have mine from when I was eight!), Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance SP, DS (recently acquired from my mom), half ownership of my brother's PS2 (odd story), and I use to own a PS1 (gave it to my bro) and a Game Gear (but someone stole it). Currently looking to acquire a Wii or 360. x3

I've played just about every other console though, except for Dreamcast. >.<

Favorite Games: Final Fantasy series (played/ing I, VII[OGC and DoC] - X-2, XII and XII: RW, and all Tactics games (which I love the most out of the series), Silent Hill series (played 1 - 4), Metal Gear Solid series (played 1 - 3), Fable series (played 1 and some of 2), Resident Evil (played 3 - 5, but none of the side ones), Wild Arms 3, Jade Empire, Thief: Deadly Shadows (so much love), Jet Set Radio Future, Elder Scrolls series (PWNEDplayed 3 and a wee bit of 4), Pokemon games (shameless love), Yugioh games (and cards too - both pre-GX), Legend of Zelda series (played 1 - Ocarina of Time *is behind*), Bioshock series, Deus Ex series (CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEW ONE!), Street Fighter 2 (old school love!), Spryo games, Tomb Raider games, Splinter Cell series (played all except the most recent one!), Whacked (silly XBox game but I love it *guilty pleasure game*), Marc Ecko's Getting Up, Project Overkill, Wild 9, Sims Castaway, and recently, MySims Agents. Got to play Assassin's Creed once too and I LOVED it, but I just don't have the console for it. *weeps*

And from my favorite games list, you can currently assume one thing about me - I love variety. xD

I also occasionally write fanfiction for games, mostly Final Fantasy stuff but I've written Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid fics too. I write mostly femslash/yuri stuff, but there's some het and slash fics too. I plan to do some Final Fantasy fanart soon and I've drawn Spyro the dragon and use to do a lot of Pokemon drawings as well (did a picture of Goku from the Dragonball games/anime once too). =3

Nice to meet you all!

Welcome! I also grew up in a gaming household - my Mom has a crap-ton of games, so I usually don't have to buy my own, which is nice! XD

*waves* Hi! Your list of video games is kinda amazingly cool and makes me reminiscence for Spyro and old school console-gaming. (Sonniccc!!!)

I agree with you about the RPG and FPS thing and I share the FF love (am currently working through XIII but VII and VIII hold a special place in my heart).

Anyway, welcome! :D

I wish I amazed people with my talent. :(

Anyway, welcome to girlgamers! I'm always excited to see new faces.

Hiya! :D
You played Jade Empire??? I've played that one too! xD
I could never be a jerk in that game. I was just too nice xD

You sound awesome and should be my friend on Dreamwidth. :)

Love your taste in games. I share your love for Final Fantasy, Zelda, Wild Arms, Pokemon, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Assassin's Creed.

Also - a million <3's to you for being a femslash writer. I feel as though we are a very rare breed, no? So many girls are slash lovers - which is cool, I like some slash too - but it's rare to find femslash loving girls.

I mostly write femslash and some het. I don't really write slash, but I'm not opposed to it, and there are some slash couples I really like (like StanxKyle from South Park).

So yeah - I'll grant you access and all because you seem really cool. :D

[hamimi_fk]

Eep! =D I'm glad I sound awesome to you! You sound mighty awesome yourself actually. I poked quickly through your profile and ended up visiting your FF.net. LOVE your Daria fic there (and that would be me that left review asking for you to continue it).

._. We so are a rare breed. Girl gamers who like and write femslash? Yeah, it's a small band of us actually. I actually run a Final Fantasy femslash community on Livejournal (ff_yuri_drabble, and while there's not a whole lot of writers, most of them are female. =D So we do exist! But dammit, those yaoi fangirls are EVERYWHERE. They multiple like rabbits, I swear. xD

!! I love Stan/Kyle! <3

^_^ I think we shall be great friends! (woo! fellow NYer too? what are the odds?)

omg, I swear I don't say this about all my writing in an effort to be annoying modest, but that Daria fanfic is some of my worst writing. I was pretty much just breezing through it without much attention to prose because I just love Jane/Quinn and I just wanted to get to the fun stuff. And then I stopped writing it because... I dunno. Life. I should get back to it. :P

I'm glad you liked it though! Thanks. :D

I think I might be a member of that community actually... the FF yuri one. If I'm not, I'll definitely join it, and try to contribute stuff. :P
