Otherworldly Being

[Mr EliteL]

Who or what am I? Am I human? Am I living? Am I good? Am I evil? Do I have a conscience? Am I a fragment of imagination? Do I not exist? The answers to these questions are unknown. Or are they?

Whatever I am, I reside by the Trash Can of our Space Station of...Happy Lucky Fun People! Or in other times you can find me in my Fortress Of...good intentions, and Knitting. Wait, I don't do much of that second thing anymore. Or didn't even start. Anyway! Let's move on to my false identity. I mean true self.

Greetings, I am called Mr EliteL! Everyone regards me as "EL" here though (or other alternatives as there as been), and I am fine with that. As long as I know who you're referring to. My original username for these forums used to be "Elite Luigi", as I started the forum under, *eternal groan*, " Elite SmashBash Luigi Forums". I was useless at naming back then in 2006, and stupidly liked the word 'Elite', hence my decision (at age 16, too naive). My first forum (called Wrestling Covers Forum) name was actually "SmashBash" (derived from Super Smash Bros series and Crash Bash), where I got suspended, joined Luigi's Site Forum, and got inspired to start my own on InvisionFree. My favourite character was Luigi. Great title, self *slow clap*. I was so happy it changed to Elite Gamers Forum. Although even that's a bit, y'know. We were young though. When Super Paper Mario came around, I really liked Luigi's alternate self, Mr. L. So I changed for our second forum at some point. Then our overhaul happened properly, and we became Universal Gaming, which has such a better ring to it. Why have I stuck with this name instead of SmashBash? Well, it's what I used for the start of this, and want to stick by it now. Regardless of looking silly with the Elite bit. I don't consider myself 1337 though.

I didn't mean to go into the history of my username like that, but whatever. So prepare yourself, even though this is probably halfway, or quarter in length now, for a long introduction post.

What you have hopefully come here for! What does this guy like? Well, let's start with the prime focus of the forum, video games! Not so much as I used to, but I do own and have played my share of games. My first family console was the Atari 2600. Consoles I've had or own personally are PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, Game Boy Advance, GameCube, DS, Wii and 3DS. Have some PC games, on disc or digital. Played Xbox games & Switch only at conventions.

My gamer tag is "SmashBashEL" or "SmshB". The former is what I go by on YouTube and Twitch too.

I mainly play Action Adventure, RPGs, Tactical/Strategy and Fighting games. Do like Puzzle, Racing and maybe some other genres too. Series I like would be Tekken, BlazBlue, Uncharted, Super Smash Bros, Mario, Rayman, Crash, Worms, Bomberman, the odd Sonic game (Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Advance).

Let's do this again, favourite games for each console, barring Atari (as I was too young, haven't played in years and not certain on what it would be...maybe Combat)

PC: Atomic Bomberman (subject to change)
PS1: Rayman 2: The Great Escape/Worms Armageddon
PS2: Maybe Persona 3: FES....still need to complete a playthrough, Tekken Tag Tournament if not.
PS3: Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (undoubtedly)
PS4: Tekken 7 (subject to change), possibly Uncharted 4
N64: Paper Mario (Virtual Console)
GBA: Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga
GC: Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (still my No.1 out of anything)
DS: Luminous Arc 2
Wii: ....Mario Kart Wii or Brawl
3DS: Stella Glow

Other things I enjoy include Anime, Manga, Music, Art, Scrabble, some Movies, MCU, the odd Tennis (Federer!), FOOD(!) everybody likes food. OK, getting a bit lame here. I do drawing and art, just trying to get actual recent, decent stuff started and/or finished.  :dodgy:

*inhale* Favourite Characters from games and media! Let's keep it limited here....I'll name ten in no particular order.

Hazama, Henry (FE:A), Lee Chaolan, Luigi, Nathan Drake, Gintoki, Gin Ichimaru, Kamina, Sadie (Luminous Arc 2), Izuna (Unemployed Ninja).

Personal crap: I work in retail, live with my mum and sister, as I can't afford my own place or even joint with my sister. Otherwise we wouldn't have done the bullshit we had to this year. Taking a mortgage, to help my mum out of the situation with my dad, or face living in worse conditions. Yay. Haven't got a drivers license yet.
Best thing to be happening this year? Upcoming two weeks holiday in Florida, to see Moony, Shira and whoever else shows up, along with Moony's family who'll be travelling with me. Can wait! Because there's plenty of other stuff going on between now and then. Eeeeeyay?

Is that it?! Is this finally over? It soon will be....
