| Here's quite a long one, but it's quite interesting. It's actually a Chinese Folk Tale, but some historians now believe it to be true. This is all from memory, so forgive me if some parts are incorrect.
In about 240 AD (Not sure about the exact date this happens), China was split into three dynasties, Wei in the north, Wu in the southeast, and Shu in the southwest. The kingdoms had existed for about thirty years, and since then there had been a long power struggle between the three dynasties. Shu (Which had been founded by a man called Liu Bei, a member of the Han Imperial Line) had been wanting to defeat Wei, after its ruler Cao Pi had overthrown the Han Emperor, and named himself ruler. However, Liu Bei died after a failed and rather foolish campaign against his former ally, Wu. He wanted to get revenge for the deaths of his two freinds and generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, however he ended dieing himself not long after the disasterous Battle at Yi Ling. After that, his son Chan and his Prime Minister Zhuge Liang took control of Shu, and restarted the battles against Wei. That was just a bit of introduction, heh. 
Anyway, one of Shu's finest and most veteran officers was Zhao Yun, a man who had served Liu Bei since nearly the begining of his rise to power. He was famous for his bravery and talent. In about the year 240 AD, he returned home after a battle against Wei. His wife (Can't remember her name...arg) greeted him, and ran a bath for him. She then started to undress him (Y'know, in a romantic way, not because Yun was lazy or anything), and noticed something. On his chest, there were no scars, scrathes or marks. She said something like: "My lord, you have been in so many battles, yet your torso is free from scathes. Pray, why is this?" Zhao replied: "My wife, in every battle I have been in, I have never once sustained injury." His wife laughed, and said that perhaps she should mark his chest with a needle. This will show the world that the person who would be allowed to harm him would be his own wife. Zhao agreed, but when his wife pricked his skin with a needle he started bleeding uncontrollably. He tried to stop the bleeding, but it just wouldn't stop. It appeared although Zhao had a blood disorder of some sort. He shouted: "I have served my entire life as a soldier, yet I am to die from a mere needle?" He died of blood loss not long later. Freaky, but probably true. Meh, it's more freaky for a Chinese History nerd like myself, who's opinion of Zhao Yun plummeted after reading that. |

Shadow Hearts Covenant for PS2 is the best RPG I've ever played, I strongly reccomend it.
Also, look for a game called Disgaea for PS2... It's a little wacky, but fun as hell. |

| I breifly played RE4 on my freind's Gamecube, and I must say it was pretty awesome. Apprently, the PS2 version has almost identically graphics for such an aging console, which is impressive. Plus, five hours of extra missions means it'll last even longer... | |||||||||||

| Hmm... I saw the trailer, and this is a stab in the dark, but could it be Big Boss? I know the guy is dead, but this is a Hideo game, things are never as they seem.
Whoo, destructable environments! This is gonna rock. |

| Me? It's gotta be PS3. Sure, we haven't seen any real game play videos yet, but with games like Metal Gear 4, Resi 5 etc, it's gotta rock hard.
X Box 360 does little for me. I don't fancy playing online anyway, so meh. Revolution? I love Ninty, but I realy don't know enough about this console to give an honest opinion yet... |

| He's a wannabe goth. To show off to all the real goths, he just had to get black clothes and a surly attitude. Either that or he was hypontised.

| Being a chronic asmathatic, the last thing I want is to fuck up my lungs anymore. So yeah, smoking is a no-no to me, even though I could (potentially) legally buy them if I want.
Yeah, in the UK, legal smoking age is 16.  |

| Me? I'm 16, if anyone cares. (Even though somehow my bio says I'm 17.) I'll be able to drive next year, whoo hoo.
Yeah, in the UK you have to be 17 to (legally) drive. Fear us and our kerrraaazy laws. |

I doubt many of you dudes know who I am. I don't mind, I'm hardly well known around the internet. I'm a Master Lurker, in that I can linger around boards for ages without actually posting. Hell, I've bene here for over a year now. Look at my massive post count. I visit here almost daily, but never post. Well, I've decided to start posting again now, so yeah. I've got nothing else to say, to be honest, so buh bye. |

| I got the ROM of it (Oh noes, I illegally downloaded a game that's not realistically going to sell anymore copies! I'M GOING TO JAIL!:O) and it's pretty awesome. It's got some fun moments, even if the battle system is a little basic. I like the mosnters you can capture, though. |

| I can't believe I forgot about Dark CLoud 1 and 2 for PS2... They are both awesome (Particuarly 2) and are very in depth.... You can customise weapons and stuff, and build towns! |
