Game Curmudgeons

Daestwen and Zeke met on Star Wars Galaxies, during that magical, all too short period when roleplayers still existed and there was actually something to do, combat-wise.

They found out quickly that they both had an inexplicable love of Harvest Moon, Guitar Hero, and Star Wars at large. Later times would find them both furry for Fran(thanks, FFXII!), showing people their pokemon, and waiting for Harvest Moon:DS(MUST TOUCH COW).

Currently, Daestwen is enrolled in a Video Game Art and Design program, took part in the Vortex Competition for video games, and tries to stick her nose into as many game projects as she can get in. She focuses on concept art and general design.

She doesn’t like FPSs much, as she tends to get headaches from the quick cameras, but she is willing to try anything once, and is generally pleased with the results of her experiments. Some of her favourite games include:

- Okami
- Anything in the “Legend of Zelda” series.
- Anything in the “Harvest Moon” series, except for the terrible ones that were made for PlayStation 1 & 2, and especially loving “Rune Factory”.
- Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
- Odin Sphere
- Final Fantasy VIII, IX, X, X-2 (she’s the only one), XII, Tactics Advanced
- Mario 64 (who doesn’t love this?)
- Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2
- Pikmin 1 & 2
- Age of Empires (basically all of them)
- Imperial Glory
- Sims 2 (forgive me, God.)

etc, etc. Basically she just loves games. Her number one pet peeve is anyone who thinks that girls don’t play video games.
