As we all know Every great journey has its inevitable glorious end. But today... it will be of beginnings that we speak. Before we get medieval though... Let me take a moment to be cordial and formal... before we prepare to trace the origin of animosity.
My names Andre... Thats French for ( Complete and Utter Badass ) Most of you have come to know me as EXPERIMENT 187... Leader / Creator / Cofounder of THE BLACK COUNCIL alongside JAMES ROYALWOOD on X box 360, and the only Man alive with over 70,000 Gamerscore that can actually still see his Abs. ;D
Outside of meeting Lex Luger and Mike Tyson back in the Mid 90's, My only other claim to fame outside of the LOTR Universe and gaming industry would be my Ex girlfriend... Model / Actress SHERRI SAUM from a little Soap Opera called One Life To Live... Now married to fellow castmate KAMAR DE LOS REYES....... Bitch.
And I digress... In all the years Ive been gaming Ive honestly never experienced or enjoyed anything more than the time I spent in Conquest... and I'm here today to share a unique behind the scenes perspective of the phenomenon that captured the imagination and unwavering attention of an entire community of devoted fans...
Right up until the very end... The dramatic pendulum of war was in full swing...
So now if you'll allow me over the next few weeks or so, I'd like to recant and detail some of the stories of LOTR and beyond, as you've never heard them told before...
I joined Conquest maybe the 2nd or 3rd month in and remember thinking what a great over the top feel and scope the game had for a movie based title. I had grown up on shooters like DOOM and RPGs like CHRONO TRIGGER... Which eventually led me like most to HALO... OBLIVION... and CALL OF DUTY where I currently reside... A little BATTLEFIELD 3 here and there too.
Conquest to me had that perfect Hybrid feel I had been looking for and I was sold on it from day one. One of the first things I noticed in general was the fanbase this game had. A lot of Gamertags either reflected something about the game itself or at least this was a more creative bunch who had actually put some thought into their names instead of random meaningless text and numbers, or generated ones from X box live... Ahem cough... RONJONS
Well... it might as well have been generated
Shortly after I arrived like most noobs I started off my career as a Mage shamelessly spamming firewalls all over Middle Earth to some measure of success. ( More than most I suppose ) few know that I actually started in conquest and gradually moved through TDM before making my home in HTDM.
It was a few months in however before I realized my true destructive nature and became intimate... with a Bow.
Now competition wasn't exactly something new to me...
How many of us honestly in life... have ever been # 1 in the World... at ANYTHING ? Well at this point I already had a few top spots under my belt in gaming overall... STREET FIGHTER II most notably with Blanka for well over a year with a move I dubbed the INFINITY ROLL... In which I was able to keep the character in perpetual motion the entirety of my matches.
I probably had a 98 % win rate doing that and pissed plenty of people off getting myself banned from X-box live TWICE in the process. Not by glitching mind you... but merely by exploiting game given ability and my own aptitude for unerring precision.
Another unique ability of mine was to be able to vibrate the tip of my index finger at nearly inhuman speed firing up Blankas hardest Electrical charge the instant I would hit the ground out of the air... I remember hearing people on the headset claiming that it was physically impossible as if it wasn't even programmed into the game for the character to be able to do that.
I received from 20 - 30 messages from competitors with feedback over the course of the next 2 weeks all claiming I had to be using a TURBO controller and I was subsequently banned from X box live for a 3rd time... Now had I known how to post on Early Youtube at the time I would've gladly provided a demonstration of my unusual ability to the world... but instead I chose to leave STREET FIGHTER for Greener pastures. A very large one in particular known as the SHIRE...
And ya know in retrospect all I really have to say of said ability with that finger... At least the chicks dug it.
One of my last memories of STREET FIGHTER was the fateful night I ended up in a lobby repeatedly fighting this guy with a sleight Foreign accent, bragging about his wealth on the side and throwing out innuendo here and there in an attempt to diffuse or take away from the fact that he kept dropping matches to me...
Now this guy was sitting here stomping everyone in the room apparently before I arrived and I could tell with the disintegrating tone of his voice that he had reached a point beyond frustration with himself... especially after just making comment to everyone else about how he had been a PRO SF Tournament Fighter in California recently BLAH BLAH BLAH...
Well pretty much all my life I've watched people put themselves on these Holier than thou pedestals for one reason or another... and my favorite past time is to flat out go beat these people up... Essentially I'm the Bully who Bullies Bullies. ( Can we get a spellcheck in here on this paragraph... )
So SIX losses in a row to me later... This shell of a once great man desperately trying to salvage his broken war torn ego... proceeds to mutter something I'll never forget.
The entire mood of the room changed... everything for whatever reason had abruptly become deadly serious and all personal. And this guy sits up and blurts out something to the effect of having bedded PARIS HILTON in the room adjacent to him... and just Who the hell were any of us in life by comparison ?!
Now granted ordinarily I would've shrugged something like this aside and gone about my business... But something in the voice, the intensity and the amount of instant honest conviction... I suddenly realized... This Jackass was telling the truth.
I started laughing to myself inside... Maybe in part because of the irony that I too had been with a famous Model... But Lets just say I can genuinely tell when someones BS ing their way through something to save face, and this was NOT one of those times... This individual was so butt hurt and embarrassed by his miserable string of defeats at something he thought he was simply a GOD at... That he felt the incessant need to play his ONE trump card and bring his personal life into the fray.
Having already been abundantly vocal about how many rooms he had in his home and what kind of Sports car he drives... this was simply his last card to play. So when I hastily responded with " You mean that snooty bitch with the million dollar body and the TEN CENT FACE ? " DOH !! Can we say Game... Set... and Match.
My suspicions were correct and as expected the poor guy becomes enraged and goes on this verbal tirade berating me left and right... To which I had no response other than... " Bitch is Ugly Dude... "
He leaves the party abruptly taking his bitter pill to swallow and later that evening just to confirm my curiosity I did some research online and what do I find ? PARIS HILTON was in fact at the time dating some random Foreign B- Lister with a shit eating grin on his face... However it was nothing in comparison to the one on mine...
Now for the record sure I don't think PARIS is ugly... But the Man sure thought I felt that way.
I have this way of... knowing just how to get to people.....
Till next time... You've had a small glimpse of what shapes the mind of an Arch Villain
The Rest... Is Another Story.
