Hi Everybody
« on: May 18, 2012, 06:27 AM »
Well, I've just relised that I've been a member of this forum for about a month now, and I haven't even bothered to introduce myself.  I know, I know how rude of me?

Well, better late than never!

Hi, I'm DarkGuyver and I'm an alcoholic.... HAHAHA just kidding.  I thought I would add a little humour to my introduction.

DarkGuyver, as some of you will probably relise from my screen name, I am a fan of the Guyver anime/manga francise. 

I found this forum, while searching for more Tess Gerritsen (yes, I watch Rizzoli & Isles) eBooks for my Sony PRS-350 eReader, which I got a couple of months ago.  But found a surprisingly large amount of books for my eReader, which I am honestly thankfull for.

Besides reading, I like watchin action, sci-fi, thriller movies and TV shows.  I'm a martial artist, I'm a 3rd degree black belt in Shotokan Karate, and I currently study Lin Kuei martial arts (a Chinese martial art, which is the ancester of Japanese Ninjitsu).  I'm a videogamer, I'm a fan of Street Fighter, Bayonetta, God Of War, Soul Calibur, House Of The Dead, and the Need For Speed games (in particular the Underground series, and Most Wanted).

I'm very knowledgable about computers so if you have any questions about computers or computer related problems post a topic and I will see what I can do for ya.  I'm also a technology nut, so any related technology discuss are game.

I hope to meet some new friends here and share some of my collection of eBooks which may be of interest to others.

Hi DarkGuyver,
Welcome to the STP community!

Nice to meet you! You sooo need to meet Jessadia and Greyfox!! You will get along just fine. So I'm guessing you've already checked out the video games threads.  ;) I'm very glad that you were able to find books for your ereader. That seems to be getting easier and easier with all the new members.
Please read the following threads & hints. This works for all members but should help with with the basics:



Some tricks for searching: Use either the book, series or author. To bring up Advanced Search enter just 1 letter. Also putting "quotation marks" around the name, author or series will help narrow the search as well. Searching is tricky but do your best.

Do you see a thread you want to follow? Use the notify button. It will email you when something is posted in that thread!

Downloading a book? Please take a moment to click the Thank You button. It's the least you can do for the kind person who took the time & spent their money to upload it. :)

If you don't remember who to contact and you would like to get our attention, just start a post "Requesting Mr. Admin/Mod Help Please" and one of us will be along shortly.:D

No, I wouldn't say that I am a 100% otaku.  However I am a fan of certain genre of anime and manga.

Welcome to the humble abode of Bibliophilias - taken from otakuclai

 :D

Welcome to STP!

Hey you requested for a Michael Crichton novel from me, i posted it in my thread. By the way, what books do you read? And I see you like manga too, any suggestions for me? I like Shounen a lot.
Wrath to Butch: That's you. You shall be called the Black Dagger warrior Dhestroyer....
Rhage: But you'll always be Butch to us, as well as hard-ass. Smart-ass. Royal pain in the ass... I think as long as there's an ASS in there, it'll be accurate.
Zhadist: How about bASStard?

^LOL :P

I read those tooo! OMG! I've watched the anime version of those manga you have finished. Haven't tried reading the manga because well, I finished the anime so I didn't bother. hehe. But I love them! :) I don't read Claymore and Detective Conan (anime only) but I read the others you mentioned. :D


Do you read Vampire Knight, Kaichou wa Maid-sama, Dengeki Daisy, Air Gear, Fairy Tail, Kuroshitsuji? If you haven't, you should! :D I have lots of Shoujo too, do you read shoujo? :)

OH! YAOI!!! I love Junjou Romantica, Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, Love Stage, BrotherXBrother (forgot the other titles Ive read). I love them!  :azn:

I did watched the anime version though I found the manga much better especially on the part of Claymore, and the others i have mixed feeling for the anime and manga version.

Yes I do read Kaichou Wa Maid Sama and Kuroshitsuji but I drop out Air Gear and Vampire Knight ( I got lost and tired of the storyline especially in VK, i dont know now, some friends of mine said its getting better, but Im still having second thoughts, maybe I should read when VK ends)

On Yaoi stuff - i like Yamane Amano's style [ i dig both Crimson Spell & Find Me] and also UGH (Under Grand Hotel) I remember a friend saying about it - "Prison is so hot"

Junjou Romantica is good. And shoujo - Perfect Girl Evolution is funny. And for yuri - Strawberry Shake Sweet & a bit from Family Comlplex will do. [I dont remember now where I downloaded them before]

This is turning out as a chatbox. Anyways PM me if you wanna talk about manga and anime stuff. Im from the Philippines so if you are from some other part of the world.... well we can just do away with private messages when we are online on our own time.

I like to read allot of crime, sci-fi and mystery novels.  I also read allot of mythology and supernatural reference books.

If you like Shōnen style manga, then I would recommend checking out The Wallflower (aka Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge), Fruits Basket and CardCaptor Sakura they are really good to read. 

But personally, I read allot of martial arts, horror and sci-fi based manga, Hokuto No Ken, Souten No Ken, Battle Royale, Ghost In The Shell....

Eyeshield 21, I read it too via manga online.
It's such an awesome story. Hiruma is a genius~! lol xD
but Shin... wow, and also Sena.
I'm pretty much laughing when read Eyeshield 21..

As for Rurouni Kenshin, I'm currently reading it now^^

I'm a manga otaku xD

Actually, I got pissed off with it before yuki was revealed as a vampire, they keep on repeating the fact that yuki and zero our guardians of cross academy and they are vampires going to the school aside from humans.... and then I got lost when yuki turned out as one of the bloodsuckers, so I give it up...

I do think so .__.

i don't know, Im not even here for a month so no idea about thread locking. Prince of Tennis - I watch the anime, and Yakitate Japan too, love the crossover characters there... :D

Yes Lelouch was alive. You know at he ending - he's the one driving the cart where C.C. was. ES21 was really good. Hiruma is my fave character there. I wish I could have a friend like him, someone who pushes you through the edge and makes you better with what you are doing. He is really very perspective... I want his brain. :D
Wrath to Butch: That's you. You shall be called the Black Dagger warrior Dhestroyer....
Rhage: But you'll always be Butch to us, as well as hard-ass. Smart-ass. Royal pain in the ass... I think as long as there's an ASS in there, it'll be accurate.
Zhadist: How about bASStard?

Oh.. the opposite, I like that moment when Kaname revealed the truth to Yuki..
I'm touched by Yuuri-sama (Yuki's mother) sacrifice.
I'm actually Kaname-Yuki pro, but things getting harder since Kaname left Yuki's side and turn into the antagonist one!!!!! arrrgghhh but I still believe in Kaname. Although I have a feeling that it will be a tragic ending for him T^T I don't like it though..

I read both of it..
Prince of Tennis.. Ahh Ryouma-kun!!! and the unexpected brother, Ryoga-kun  :P
Yakitate Japan~ I don't think the story is more cliche than I expected but I like it  :laugh:

Yes I know! xD
there's even a video (which believed as part of the original version of ep 25 before cut, when it showed Lelouch's face!!) and pictures (a poster which showed that Lelouch holds a dog in his lap with C.C's siluet behind it in a farm) xD xD
Can't wait for Code Geass season 3 : Akito the Exiled, although Lelouch isn't the main chara again, but I hope he will show up there :D
the setting is set 9 years after the emperor lelouch's death in Europe.

Well, Im for Zero-Yuki tandem, from the very beginning to the time I stop reading and if ever I picked it up again, will still root for the same pairing, I don't like Kamane, I see him as a manipulative vampire (precisely, its in their nature according to literature hahhaha) sorry for that.

Yes another season. yeah, i do hope, too that lelouch will resurface again. he is the protagonist/villain I really like, always reminded me of Light Yagami from Deathnote. :)

It's really okay! I appreciate a different opinions xD
haha, if Kaname hurts Yuki, I think I'll go supporting Zero instead too!^^

Yes! I even think if Lelouch maybe the first main character that can be both the protagonist and antagonist at the same time..
I like Shirley too.. and Suzaku..
I don't know why but I'm not pretty fond of Nunnaly..
because of her Lelouch... and but their mother made me sad the most :(

try it! Kuroshitsuji is about an akuma or demon that serves as a Butler to a young Earl in England. It's cool. Definitely a must read. :) Dengeki Daisy would make you laugh. But in the middle part of that manga, I don't know. I kind of lost in the explanation of what happened to some bits. Hahaha. But I guess, I'm just slow in comprehending it. :)
