Biography
I got gross. I'm big and sore and throbbing now like everyone hates me. I look a certain way, and it's real easy to identify - using science. I've been growing my skin out long, you know... just to see what it looks like.

Occupation
Basically just anything starring athletes (or athletic types) where they are all really sweaty and there is anything happening.

[size="1"][font="Arial"]I originally joined right after V3 first started. It was light blue and purple or something, wasn't it? And then V4 was gray and black. Before I even had internet, my then-best friend showed me the boards back when they were in the first version. I registered as Cloud Strife00, and then changed my name years later to Axel--Ignition. Later on, another close friend of mine joined and he dated a girl we RP'd with. I made some good RP's and some really spammy ones, I got called out for one in a stickied mod post and I freaked out and left. A few years later, Dragon Warrior asked me to join again so I joined some RP's with him, and left when I stopped having time. When I had time again, I made a new account, RiflesAtRecess, which got changed to this name eventually. I was/am really into music and posted about it and got into arguments about it, woooo. I had made a lot of friends who stuck with me for a while, including one who lives near me and we're good friends outside of the internet, haha. I still talk to Clurr and Tony/Semjaza here pretty often. Tony is married now![/font][/size]

[size="1"][font="Arial"]I attend the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. It's about to be my fourth year, getting a BFA in Art with a Design concentration. [url="http://kevinmccartyart.tumblr.com/"]Here is my portfolio.[/url] Due to getting screwed over with registration, I may have to attend a fifth year or at least half of one. If that's the case, I'm going to attempt to pick up a Communication Studies minor. I don't live on campus, I live with my parents and am saving up to move out with a close friend. I plan on taking a year off once I graduate and then going on to get my MFA under my favorite professor.[/font][/size]

[size="1"][font="Arial"] It's been a while since I've really posted here, and I saw a hair before and after thing from earlier so here we go! [img]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v231/73/39/515250417/n515250417_554020_2767.jpg[/img] This was how I looked when I could last consider myself active on OB. Since then, I've...

(There's pictures around of it longer but I love this one.) [img]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs013.ash2/34006_398107105417_515250417_4445284_517539_n.jpg[/img] And cut it all off.

[font=arial][size=1]I'm pretty willing to bet at this point that Pokemon is more popular around college students than it is with children. Children seem more concerned with what is a fad at the time, and the kids who were young enough to appreesh Pokemon when it was a fan are in college now. Having said that, I really wouldn't be surprised if one day they make a game where the main characters are like 18 or something. I also really want my gigantic Pokemon MMORPG with real time battles. I really don't understand why they haven't done this yet.[/font][/size]

[FONT="Arial"][SIZE="1"]I've been playing FFXIII since launch day, and it was me giving the series one last chance, as I found major faults in both X and XII. It turns out that I love the game. Hope greatly annoyed me until he later grew some balls, but other than that, I like all the characters. I felt like XII's story was too distant from the characters, so I'm enjoying that XIII's story has your characters directly in a dilemma and on the run through most of the main storyline. I also like that Lightning is a direct female clone of Cloud, from her being an ex-soldier, to having a mopey attitude, to riding in on a train with a black guy in the beginning of the game to face a scorpion robot. Yep. The combat system gives you just enough control while for the first time the combat almost feels natural, with the characters appearing to unleash an onslaught of attacks and then taking a strategic break to size up their enemy and prepare their next attacks. I'm up to the top of Taejin's Tower currently, and if I have a fault, it is that most of the bosses are way too easy. Many of which can be beaten by using the relentless assault paradigm to stagger them and deal massive damage, repeating this process until it becomes necessary to heal and then revert back. Thankfully, this boredom ceases when it comes to battling eidolons, which require some strategy to survive, let alone defeat. Also, a lot of the enemies can get really hard in certain groups. I'd also like to answer about the supposed linearity of the game. I personally find it no more linear than most of the previous games. An example being spending the entire first disc of VII in Midgar. A lot of classics did actually have a linear system but instead of running through paths, they gave you big, blank expanses of grass to walk around. If there were additional areas to discover, entering them would see you getting killed by the first enemies you happened across because as it turns out, you drifted from the set path the game provides and you're supposed to travel there later. There's exceptions to that, but few enough to make an argument invalid in my point of view. But yes, the magic those have provided is gone, but made up for by being able to play the post-game on Pulse, in which you can max out the Crystarium and go on 64 hunts, which is something the main storyline just teases at. But yeah, I'm kind of at odds because I consider Vagrant Story one of my favorite games, I disliked FFXII (I see Fallout 3 as a more similar game to it), but I love FFXIII, which I keep getting told DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[size=1][font=arial]I remember you! I joined in 2001 too, I was Cloud Strife00. I don't think I ever went to the Digimon forums until a while after 2001, but I'm pretty sure I saw you around anyway, I definitely remember your username.[/font][/size]

[FONT="Arial"][SIZE="1"]It's been a long time. [b]Who:[/b] My name is Kevin. Long ago I was Cloud Strife00, then I was RiflesAtRecess, and I've gone under this moniker for a while, I guess. [b]Where:[/b] I go to The University of North Carolina at Greensboro to study art. [b]What:[/b] The last time I posted on OB was my freshman year of college and I had a big ego and I was a jerk to everyone, sorry. I'm in my junior year at UNCG. I carry a camera everywhere. I play guitar and video games at home. I have plans to start a band and a video game webcast over the summer. I've been going to a lot of clubs and events doing self-promotion for my artwork and I'm building a portfolio to take it online. [b]When [i.e. Back Then]:[/b] I first started posting a few months after I got internet. I think I was 12. Needless to say, OB was a huge part of my life through all my teenage years. I talked about Final Fantasy a lot with a bunch of people named after the characters, and then devoted myself entirely in the boards' RPG's for a few years. I made a few of my own and one of them got shut down and I got huffy and I left for a year, but still talking to the friends I had made, such as Dragon Warrior. He dragged me back in and I was under some name I don't remember and we did a few RPG's together and then I got myself this account a month or so after the last one. I stopped doing RPG's and talked about music a lot while I was in a band. I became a real snob and I'm probably just going to try and avoid looking at that board. I left when I got something of a warning saying I was going to be banned, but nothing ever came of that I guess. [b]Why:[/b] I'm back again because ultimately, I've met many amazing people on here and I miss being in that circle. I feel like what frustrated me last time was that there were such a divide between the younger and older members and everyone seemed easily offended, including myself. I've been lurking here and there and I've been seeing a lot of names I recognize coming back. [b]Favourite Things About OB:[/b] The people I've met on it (including someone who became one of my best friends in the physical world), lurking the RPG's, the flying circus or whatever that was called, I'm sure there's more.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[font=arial][size=1]Welcome to world 1-2, baby! If it doesn't match up, let me know, otherwise, this is probably going to be my last post on OB for a while.

[quote name='Nerdsy'][color=deeppink]First, to be absolutely sure, put her and a duck on a giant set of scales. If she weighs as much as said duck, burn her.[/color][/QUOTE] [font=arial][size=1]I came in here to make this joke too. I win situations like yours by being more creative than the person insulting me/whatever. When they see that they are clearly outdone by your wit, they should go find another target. Don't be too weird about it though, that'll just make it worse.[/font][/size]

[font=arial][size=1]Huh. I've never heard of these guys, but Josh is a pretty alright drummer so I checked out their song "Dregs" because I had the easiest time finding it. I actually like these guys enough to torture myself with trying to search for their records by typing in the number 3 followed by their album names made up of very common words. Fun. I am leaving this thread a surprised man. Prem has recommended something worthwhile to me.[/font][/size]

[font=arial][size=1]Now then. I have been listening to The Blood Brothers' older stuff, mainly March On, Electric Children. It's the turning point of their musical career, where they had the style of their new music forming, but it also had the rawness of their older records. Ever record since this one has seen them wimping out more and more (but they picked a lot of it back up in their last album, Young Machetes).[/font][/size]

[font=arial][size=1]This is either really out of character or really in character, I'm not too sure, but I finally started liking Genghis Tron today. A little too much of their band is "fake" but they pull it off very well. Their new record comes out in like five minutes but of course it leaked weeks ago. It's really good. If you like Converge or The Dillinger Escape Plan, you'll probably like this.[/font][/size]

Look.... are you insinuating something?

[font=arial][size=1]I didn't even notice it for a while. I was reading through here and was all "What is everyone talking about?! ...Oh!" Desbreko is the best admin ever.[/font][/size] -
[font=arial][size=1]I love my waffles with a LOT of butter and a little bit of syrup. Too much syrup makes it soggy. I've also had them in restaurants with cream cheese and berries and that was pretty AMAZING too. This reminds me of the favourite sock thread of yore.[/font][/size]
