User:War Clown

"Everybody's a critic, yes. But not every critic matters you know. No matter how harsh and bitter the reception will be, in the end there's only one critic who matters: You."

- Me, on criticism.

Me...?
"I'm beyond that of what you can comprehend."

- War Clown

Howdy! The name's War Clown! (chilly background music O_O). Call me War, because Clown sounds like an insult if left alone, but you can also call me Jack White, or Jacques le Blanc. You can't call me by my real name though (feels weird :P), only specific people can.

Obviously, I'm a fan of AC, just like all of you here, but I also have other favorite games, like Metal Gear, Devil May Cry, God of War, BioShock, Grand Theft Auto, Dead Space (also contributing to their wiki), inFamous, Killzone, Uncharted and a hell of a lot more. Right now I'm very interested in Shinji Mikami's new IP, Vanquish, and have already set up camp on the wiki.

I aim to contribute as much as possible on this wiki, and also on the other wikis I'm working on. I profess in giving a detailed summary of events that transpire in a game, and I'm also an adept in organizing some articles and its sections. If I can help, I will. 'Nuff said :D

The great irony of being the...ahem, War Clown (chilly background music O_O)...is that I refrain from fighting and flame wars. Yes, I know, I know, It's weird, but I give others the freedom to voice their opinion out without chocking them to death :D Whether it'd be an insult to the PS3 (Its exclusives are horrible! It's online is free because it sucks! Xbox is THE Be-*BANG!*) or a direct verbal assault to one of my favorite games (MGS4 Suc-*BANG!*), I usually ignore these minor negativity, but if it goes a step too far, I'll have your head mounted on my kitchen, and use your tongue as a table cloth!

Other useless facts about me
 * I'm human :D
 * I'm Filipino (If you watch FlipTop, you've officially established a rank here xP)
 * I'm Catholic (God is awesome!)
 * I share my first name with one of the Templars (Marco Barbarigo)
 * The sports I like are MMA and Boxing (and a wee bit of basketball, my friends keep forcing it on me :D)

 * I use a USB Modem get connected to the internet (which is why I don't have a PSN yet)
 * I'm an average GameFaqs user (although I use a different name, since War Clown was already taken). Lately, it's been all OMG DEMON'S SOULS IS THE BEST GAME EVARRRR! so I'm not visiting as frequently there.
 * I am a Tekken, Soulcalibur, Marvel Vs Capcom and Mortal Kombat fan, and have devoted countless hours into mastering every existing combo in each game.
 * Despite being a usual Sony guy, I'm a big fan of MS' awesome IPs Fable and Gears of War!

Assassin's Creed
Current AC I'm playing: AC: Brotherhood

Ah, how I met AC. I'll never forget it. It seems like it was only yesterday.

It was 2009, when I was singing praises for my newly acquired PS3. Playing games that I have longed for since the announcement. Games like Devil May Cry 4, and Metal Gear Solid 4, the system was truly epic. When I mentioned this to my friend, he told about a, in his words, cool game called Assassin's Creed. I asked him what the hell it was, he answered it was about a game set in history, and also sci-fi. I asked him if I could borrow it, to see for myself what it was, but alas, he cannot, for he hasn't finished playing it yet.

It was not until the end of the year, that my friend was finally able to lend me his copy of Assassin's Creed (Took him long enough, eh?). Obviously, I played it, to see for myself what I've been missing. An hour into the game, I was like: Oh.....My.....God....(I'm so in love, I found you finally, you make me wanna say....)

Compared to what my friend said, cool was an understatement! The game was absolutely awesome! The story was simple enough to follow on both In-Animus and Out-of-the-Animus(for me at least), the combat was something I deeply enjoyed, the missions weren't as repetitive as some said, and nearly every aspect of the game was amazing! I thanked my friend multiple times for letting me play his copy of the game.

Afterwards, I immediately bought Assassin's Creed II and I was squealing like a little girl over every improvement they made (I wasn't actually squealing like a girl, more like swearing like a sailor :D) The game was such a massive improvement! A better story on both sides, improved combat, all the new tools and gadgets, a protagonist with more background and personality (I still think Altaïr's a more badass than Ezio :D), better location (AC1's areas were very dim compared to Italy), and a variety of enemies and targets. It truly was an epic improvement.

Then there's Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. When I first heard of it, I was like O_O then I went to this place, the wiki, to dig more info on it. As the months pass, me and every other AC fanatic dug for more info about the game. With every little bit of news, pictures and videos the community get, each fan squeals like a school girl filled with excitement. Machines, apprentices, multi-player, story, weapons, combat, every aspect of the previous game, fans demanded them to get beefed up. Ubisoft worked day and night to make this game a blockbuster. From the videos and pictures themselves, you can see just how awesome the game will be. And you what? Ubisoft didn't disappoint. Brotherhood is the Best and Greatest Game of All Time.

I don't know how Ubisoft pulled it off. A year of development time, and they managed to create the greatest game ever. I'm not exaggerating, AC: Brotherhood is that damn good! Apprentices, story, weapons, travel, missions, targets, extras, all of them are just astounding! After Brotherhood, I officially declare Ezio Auditore da Firenze a bona-fide badass. He managed to surpass Altaïr in terms of badassery, but I still think Altaïr can beat Ezio in a fight :) Desmond...He's fine. The modern story is really confusing, but I got most of it down, so all is good :D

The PSP one, Bloodlines, was better than some said it was. While it was practically, a dumbed-down version of AC1, it managed to pull off a decent story, and a short bonus for AC2 (The Weapons gained from Interconnectivity really help when you're replaying the game :D). As for the DS ones, I only have Altaïr Chronicles, and it...is...just...horrible. Still not finished with it, will get around finishing it after 3 hours of vomiting from the horrible gameplay and set pieces. Too horrible.

Oh, and I've also watched the Lineage series. Pretty awesome side-story, if not short.
