About Sanguine

Profile
General:
- Name: M.A.
- Born: 1983, Taurus/Gemini
- Location: Northern Europe
- Occupation: Student and minion of the local Department of Education
- Hobbies: Anything that currently holds my fancy

Biases:
- Plenty, and all of them against bad game mechanics.

Notes:
- I am not Politically Correct. Do not ask me to be.
- I call most desktop computers PCs (such as Windows, DOS, Linux/BSD, Mac, and others)
- Joined UVL in ~2007-04
- I use cracks and other methods to circumvent copy protection in games I own, and I frown upon the use of CP. Get over it.

Contact:
- eMail: darker.aspect (at) gmail.com

Platforms:
- PC [WinXP] ... Athlon X2 64 2.5GHz, GF8800GT 512 MiB, 2 GiB RAM
- PlayStation 2 ... Unmodified and dusty

Earlier platforms: (owned or had access at home)
- Amiga (500?)
- Amstrad (with green screen); barely any games
- Commodore 64; PC was much better by the time, so I never played with it

For any other platforms, I either have played the games at friends' or used emulators.

# General goals #

Add and invent more tags...
Why?
1) To help those who try to find games they used to play much more easily by listing "significant" and "unusual" features or things that catch eye in some manner, so with those, they can fine tune their search terms to locate even the most obscure games with only some vague memories on what the games had or didn't have.
2) Alternatively to aid finding games people might like, not for "real gamers" who play games just for the sake of playing and don't care much for what the games have, but for those who actually care what the games have in them.

Unfortunately both require familiarization with the tags, and without any kind of tag hierarchy this is more difficult than it needs to be.

Collectors and the obnoxious "real gamers" are not the target audience for either, as neither much care what the games are about or probably not even what genre/type the games are (as far as I can tell, they just play whichever is "good" , which usually translates to high player ratings with almost complete disregard for the content).
