Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

*shakes hand back* A firm handshake as an introduction is a winner in my book, nice to meet you as well!

Very close! I do know that Janus was the main villain, 006 in Goldeneye and I agree...almost. I REALLY liked Goldeneye, but the extras Perfect Dark had to offer on top of the crisp concise controls of the Goldeneye engine pushes it above the game. That's just an opinion :). I can't play a FPS like that on any of these new next-gen systems, it's PC or die for me. The N64 controller had that flow down to it that can't be beaten!

Janus, the reason I use it comes from a game called Chrono Trigger, my favorite game of all time that came out for the SNES way back in 1995. Best story I've ever played through and a hell of a game. One of the bad guys in the game (he ends up being good if you want him to be) is a character named Magus. Magus you learn, in his past grew up as a child Janus. So that's where I based mine off of, the game Chrono Trigger. Janus in origin I believe is a Roman God, the god of gates and doors and time. 2 faces, one looks always to the east and one always to the west. Symbolizes looking to the future and to the past at all times, endless.

That's my bit for now, thanks again for the profile congrats and talk to you soon!


The N64 controller was flawless and i agree with u there, i definately can not turn back to console gaming now that ive got a tasty pc haha!

Hi mate! :)

All good over here yeah.. Been playing as a regular DJ on the JARadio for a couple of months now. Have been doing a regular show on sundays and then DJing whenever feel like it. :)

And I just last weekend said "I love you" for the first time ever in my life, when really meaning it, was really a huge weight off my shoulders. Me and my girlfriend been dating for around 4 months now, and I've known her for 16 months in total. Really connecting atm, life is sweet. Things couldn't go better! :)

Also I've started to do graphics again. They started this new DeviantART-like Finnish artcommunity a couple of weeks ago, called Harhakuva.org (means illusion in Finnish), and I submitted my first piece there two days ago. Also I've been thinking about buying a camera after christmas if I get some cash 'til that. Really been into photographing lately. :)

I guess it's just the timezone difference which causes us to hardly ever see each other.. I've been actually very actively on the servers as of late. Mainly because I've learnt a ton from Kauyon, and it's fun to duel again, when you're not the punching bag for others ;):D

This was a pretty informative update on my life atm :D Hope I made atleast some sense in it..

Take care of yourself, and be safe out there. :)



-Tomas (Ataris) <3


PS. This is the link to that latest piece I did to Harhakuva.org, inspired by the love for my girlfriend along with an awesome song (Johnny Logan - Hold Me Now), tell me what you think :)
