Introduce Yourself.
Anyone notice that there are very few duplicates in our favorite anime list so far? That's pretty cool.
By the way, cyphr, what's CSI? Is that like a computer thing? Control systems... computer science.... er...
Adding the studio catagory to my list, I'd have to say Production IG, based solely on the amazing work on the new Ghost in the Shell TV series (second season is much better now that Kusanagi put some pants on). Finest example to date of something that cannot be done with traditional cel animation without having an enormous budget.

Name: Christopher Francis Romano
GuyvarIII: I like the Guyver. When I was in Junior High, I decided I?d try to be Guyver3 at AOL but that was taken. I didn?t want to be Gaiba3, so, I decided to combine the two and be GuyvarIII. Now, people in the real everyday world, who don?t know what the Guyver is, know me as Guyvar because it?s more unique than Chris.

What do you look like: I have a pic in my about section. Approximately 6feet tall, thin build, blue eyes, long light brown hair, mustache, glasses, Italian nose.
Favorite Video Game: Dragon?s Lair for the 8bit NES. The hardest game I ever played. You can?t run, all your power ups suck, button reaction time is horrible, and almost anything can kill you in one hit. Heck even jumping over a hole in the floor is a challenge. You never know, if you hold down the button a little too long Dirk?ll slam his head into the ceiling and fall straight down to his death, or there might be an evil snake that?ll suddenly pop out of the wall and kill you.
I brought it over to a friend?s house and he got so frustrated that he attacked his Nintendo after previously yelling at it, ?duck?move?Ah, Hell!?
It?s best when played with two players because, while it says it?s a two-player game, only 1 player can play at a time. The great thing is, unlike other similar NES 1 player at a time games, in Dragon?s Lair death usually occurs within the 1st minute of gameplay, so you never really have to wait for your turn.
