Dota 2: Radiant vs. Dire: Poetry of the Warring Clans.
http://www.gameinformer.com/blogs/members/b/black_rook_blog/archive/2012/10/01/radiant-vs-dire-poetry-of-the-warring-clans-1.aspx
I am a fervent believer in the idea that the mobile gaming market is going to crash like a rock soon.
Games I own on the Xbox 360: The Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition, Halo: Reach, Lord of the Rings: Conquest, Gears of War, Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3 Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, Lego Batman and Pure, Lego Harry Potter, Assassin's Creed I, II and Revelations, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: World at War, Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions, Madden NFL 12.
My Pride and Joy is my Naboo Starfighter I built in Banjo-Kazooie. Best thing I've ever built in a game. The second best is the Heffalump. Not much, but it's so fun to fly. I'll upload pics someday.
I love mythic style of storytelling in Lord of the Rings. And the character bios in DOTA games are awesome.
I built a PC!!! (With the help [i.e. he built it] of a friend. PARENTHECEPTION.) I have added Battlefield 3, League of Legends, Dota 2, Gotham City Imposters, and Spiral Knights to my collection of games.
I'm also on steam. If you want to play DotA 2, just ask me here.
I'm starting to play League of Legends also... wink wink, nudge nudge. I play wall and backline. I stink with frontline... don't you dare make me do it.
If you decide to sign up because of me, use this link. It gives me stuff. http://signup.leagueoflegends.com/?ref=5082cfbf74b5d330815531
So if you want to play either game... feel free to ask.

Fellowship of the Rook
Darth Carbonite
His favorite genres are RPG, co-op, action-adventure, RTS, simulation, fantasy, and space. The founder of the Star Wars group here on GIO, and our GLORIOUS LEADER. Just don't get into an argument with him about Firefly or the Yuuzhan Vong.
The Identity-Confused Carson
A quite random, lighthearted person. He is also a member of the Nintendo crowd here on GIO. Currently banned. We await his return. HE HAS RETURNED, AND BRINGS WITH HIM MINT-FLAVORED ICE CREAM. HIS SUPREMELY DOMINANT REIGN IS SURE TO FOLLOW.
Eli
He's kinda like Carmen Sandiago. Except he's a he, not a she.
...Just... Ronnie
The only other person I know that is a fellow hunter of The Walking Dead. Stand strong... he also likes Radiohead, Mogwei, and Explosions in the Sky.
Do NOT Read This
While I may not care for his disdain for one of my favorite hobbies (Which also happens to be the greatest medium for a story *Cough* take that, movies *Cough*) I can appreciate the fact that he stands by Nintendo though many call it childish. He's a big fan of comedy.
nightcrawlerash13
Hands down one of the three nicest people I've ever met. Ash is a big fan of anime, Nintendo, and RPGs. And Doctor Who. Don't forget the Who.
The Great Cubone
My competitive gaming blood brother. He's awesome. A very patient, nice guy. Put up with me even though I'm rather unskilled.
GG big halo fan his r3@l name is petunia
Black Rook
And then there was Rook. I really hope you don't need a link for my page. That would be worrying. One thing that's good to know is that I try to be funny. So if I say, "You hath surpassed me. Curse this day!" what I'm saying is, "Congratulations!"
Seriously, though, if you have anything you want to be added, like improvements to the quote section (See below) or wanting multiple user conversations (Make it happen!) submit your input through the link above.

Favorite Quotes:
"The best performances are those that can only be performed once."

"I have 300 armor and 4k HP... my body is ready."--Morello
"It was a mixture of praise and... creepiness."
"A hall to die in, and men to bury me. I am a knight. I shall die a knight."
"LoL used to be full of jerks with a heart of gold, but now it's just all jerks."
"Your party stumbles through the draven caverns / I cast my Draven spell, dravening the caverns a little / Roll for Draven / Same / Natural (Draven) 20 / Draven the Dravening Draven looks left and right, making sure there are no not-dravens around" --Draven
"Played my first ARAM with Mundo. Saw there is no Warmogs. Got confused, what do I build now? Had to quit game and uninstall. Seemed like the only rational thing to do." --PantheonTheBaker
"Wretched mongrels get the leash..." --Thresh
Favorite Authors:
T.S. Eliot
His poetry often needs some outside analysis, but don't let that discourage you. A truly great modern poet. And I hate modern poetry.
J.R.R. Tolkien
Single-handedly created the Fantasy genre. All them youngsters talking about Game of Thrones, the Name of the Wind, the Black Company? This is their progenitor. THIS IS THEIR RULER. ALL BOW BEFORE TOLKIEN.
Timothy Zahn
Read his Star Wars books.
Jonathan Stroud
Author of some downright stellar books, and the amazing Bartimaeus series. A funny, creative writer with styyyyylllllle.
Derek Landy
Author of the best young adult series around, Skulduggery Pleasant. If you are human, read this book. If you are not human, read this book. If you are a rabbit, I estimate that this book will provide at the very least double the nutrition of any other out there.
William Shakespeare
No, I'm not joking. Read him. If you can't take the original language, find an abridged version. I would suggest the original with footnotes though. He has a joke or allusion to something pretty much in every line... it's really quite incredible.
