User:War Clown

'''BUSY, though available. Holler if you need me for something important. If not, GTFO. If you're reading this, seriously, GTFO.'''

Bio
"Those who become princes by virtue of their abilities acquire dominion with difficulty, but maintain them with ease."

- Niccolò Machiavelli, Chapter 6 of The Prince.

I am War Clown. I have gone by many a name: Jack White, Juan Blanco, Jacques le Blanc, Marco (You can't call me that, only specific people can) and many others. I'm a paranoid schizophrenic who's been condemned to solitary confinement for 3 and a half years, and the only time they let me out is when I am tasked to alphabetize the institution's garbage waste by name of brand, starting from Z to A. People ask me if that is true. It's not.

I aim to contribute as many as I can on whatever wiki that needs a contribution. My specialty is template and graphics designing, some coding, summarization of events, and others. I can also help organize an article's sections and paraphrase some sentences. For me, things are simple here: You get it right, you'll be alright. If you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you. If you act like a fool, you'll end up like this fool, and probably even worse.

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 (set up camp at their wiki), God of War, BioShock, Grand Theft Auto, Dead Space (also contributing to their wiki), inFamous, Killzone, Uncharted, Vanquish (admin at the wiki, but haven't got it up and running yet) and a hell of a lot more.

Assassin's Creed
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 one of the best games ever.

I don't know how Ubisoft pulled it off. A year of development time, and they managed to create one of the best games ever. ACBH is really awesome, I tell yah! Apprentices, story, weapons, travel, missions, targets, extras, all of them are just astounding! The only complaints I have are with some of the features. Perhaps they should have expanded the customization of the Apprentices more?

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.

My Sandbox

BAM! Ta-da! It's...gone. Wanna know where it went? Look here. You might find it. Can't find it? Yeah, well, that's your problem now XD

Stuff To-Do for me and you
Here's some stuff you and me could do. Follow them or not, well, that's up to you.

Bloodlines
Pics I took while watching some walkthroughs on YouTube of AC Bloodlines for the Storyline Articles. Since they mean so much to me, I thought I'd put them here in my User Page. (Note: One of these images was taken from GameFAQS)

Brotherhood
Out of desperation, I repeated my actions from the AC Bloodlines articles for Brotherhood. They mean so much to me (because I waited for that red bar to fill up God-knows-how long), so I decided to put em' here.

Badges
After some time, I decided to sate my satisfaction of tinkering with images by making badges for wiki use. Here's some of my work.

(Important Note: Any of you bastards that try to use these images will get blocked for a month. Yeah that's right bub, you heard me! War Clown then chugs down the bottle of vodka he brought with him.)
