Cade Antilles standing by!
Hey everybody, Cade Antilles here! The j suN got things rolling with a little bit about himself, so I thought I’d do the unimaginative thing of doing the exact same thing.
First thing to say about myself is that I am first and foremost a Star Wars aficionado. I read virtually all of the novels and comics, play most of the video games, play the RPGs, delve into the sourcebooks and repositories of in-universe knowledge, collector of memorabilia, wear a few costumes, and watch any bit of film that I can. This does not mean I know facts about the production of the films, but instead, I am proficient in the in-universe materials. So, that said, many of my reviews on this site will concern Star Wars related pieces.
Another aspect of my life is that I’m a gamer. I love video games, computer games, role-playing games, board games, card games, and table-top strategy games. This is a topic, though, that I do not consider myself an expert. While I do greatly enjoy these various forms of entertainment, I’m what others would describe as stubborn when it comes to trying new things. Because of this, my experience is somewhat limited. I primarily stick to FPS and RTS video and computer games. I only play d20 system RPGs. And my experience with the other genres are just as limited. So, while I will have my perspectives on these genres, know that I do not have an interest in broadening my horizons too much. When it comes to games, I’ve got my PS2, PSP, Xbox 360, and PC, so those’ll be where my reviews will be coming from.
Film is another part of my life. I grew up in a family owned video store, with free access to whatever film I wanted to watch (within my parents’ permission). This led to my love affair with movies. Mostly of the Sci-Fi and Action genres, but not exclusively. Some of my friends here at Professional Procrastinators have higher expectations of films than I do, but I know a bad movie or good movie when I see them, and I’ll do my best to let y’all know.
As for a little bit more about myself, I’m a college student working on a degree in History. My main areas of interest are Military History, European History, Religious History and Japanese History. I’m also a proficient handy-man/jack-of-all-trades. I’m no expert at repairs and construction, but I can get the job done safely and cleanly.
Well, I guess that’s all for now. Catch me next week for my first review. It will be on Star Wars - Legacy of the Force: Revelation by Karen Traviss.
