Title: Hello from your friendly neighborhood moogle!
Post by: kupokupo on March 01, 2012, 02:18:30 AM
Ha! Ha!

Okay, so I'm not a moogle. Wish I was one, though. *sigh* A girl can dream, right? >.>
I'm currently a freshman at college, and I'm majoring in biology. I'm interested in animals, particularly in animal intelligence.  I'm a member of my schools Humane Society Club, and I'm a firm believer in the ethical treatment of animals, particularly when dealing with 'livestock' (pigs, chickens, cows, ect.). In fact, I'm writing a report on the unethical and unsanitary procedures of factory farming for my writing class. Hmmm...fun times. Fun times. Xp
Some things I like are eating candy, and acting hyper, and Final Fantasy games, and Adventure Time, and animals, and eating Taco Bueno, and camping, and swimming, and horse back riding, and Harry Potter, and playing Words with Friends, and smiley faces, and...and...and...

X0 Whew! I'm out of breath. I'm shutting up now. UvU

Not a moogle?
Never mind, you sound nice anyway.

Aww! Thanks for the hellos, everyone!

And I don't know what you mean by seat. :< Are you asking what type of saddle I use?

Asmos eat moogles.  >:(

Or at least, they ought to in the next FF-release. The FF XIII-2 moogle was highly annoying and I found it really out-of-place story-wise.

In any case, welcome.

Heh, sorry. Seat= Discipline like hunt seat, western, dressage. You get the avatar and signature after ten posts.

Urgh! You're making me hungry! Love me some moogle-on-a-stick. <3 Especially if it's fried and dipped in ranch.

And I haven't ever played FFXIII, and, having read the reviews, I don't ever plan to. :<

Hello and welcome to HAF, kupokupo. Since I'm not a gamer (well I am, but the main game I play is thousands of years old (http://senseis.xmp.net/?Go), so I'm kind of behind the times (https://www.happyatheistforum.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg822.imageshack.us%2Fimg822%2F5752%2Ficonbeard.gif&hash=8c51205d2949b9c83ce99ed616390e9af6a665ed)) I had to look up "moogle." Doing that helped me understand the origin of your user name.

welcome to the forum kupokupo. Having never played FF I'd never heard of a moogle before, thanks for introducing me to something new. I now know what a Japanese mole-bat looks like  8)

Overall, I liked both games.

The downers in FF XIII were that the character Vanille was disgustingly cute and the character Hope was messed up in all the wrong ways. There were no proper towns and cities and some of the dialogue was overly dramatic.

In FF XIII-2, the downers were a lot of unnecessary drama, only two main charaters, duplicate maps (Even though it was intentional) and the moogle that killed off that tiny rest of realism that Final Fantasy games sort of need in my book.

The uppers for both were pretty graphics, nice enough combat system, the overall stories, character development, lots of different items, weapons and upgrade possibilities, different types of areas and a few more.

In short, my verdict is that the games are good, but a bit love-or-hateish.

Hello kupokupo

You'll find a lot of things become available once you've made your 10 posts. You can't do sigs or avatars until then. Are you part of Voxel Box?

Welcome to HAF  ;D

Welcome. I am a fan of the older FF games, but I haven't particularly liked any after FFX. I am anticipating the HD re-release of FF X though.

But...but...a Moogle would never eat someone. :o
And 'kupo' is a sound that Moogles make. VuV

That's no fun! I...just feel so naked with no avatar and sig. :/ *covers private parts* Eeek! Don't look!
Alright...that was awkward. XD Ha! Ha! Couldn't resist, though.

Totally agree with you! Final Fantasy has gone down the drain. :< But will always have the old games to cherish. <3 And FFX is my favorite FF. That and Tactics. Are they really making a HD version? Awww! I'm totally going to...watch the game's walkthrough on Youtube. 'Cause I don't have a PS3.

The Voxel Box (http://thevoxelbox.com/) is a minecraft forum and one of the admins shares your user name. Obviously a case of 'Great minds think alike'  ;D

Wow, we have a lot in common. The most experience I have with farm animals though was when my sister and I bought two sick/dying chicks from the local farm store. Only one survived (we named her Nugget) and she grew into a such a great pet. She was intelligent, she begged for food and table scraps, loved to be cuddled and would go to sleep in your lap.. Just a really good gal! We ended up having to give her to a farm because we moved into an apartment though.
Biology is a good major in college. What do you want to do once you get your degree?
