If I'm not online, then there's only 4 reasons why. One, I'm not home. Two, I'm playing my PS3/PSP. Three, I'm sleeping. And Four, It's raining (I hate the rain and tend to go to sleep when it happens)
Me...?
I'm your average video game lover. Lives in the Philippines. Grew up with the PlayStation. Owned every one of them except for the PocketStation & the PSX. It only does Everything! Until Sony removes it T_T
I'm overflowing with knowledge, but also lacking. That's why I go to Wikia. If I can help in an article, I log in and edit (sometimes though, it doesn't log in & my edit becomes "Unregistered Contributor's" Edit T_T). but If I just want to read a certain part I missed I just read & leave.
My favorite game series are Assassin's Creed, Metal Gear, Devil May Cry, God of War, BioShock & Dead Space
Other useless facts about me
- I'm human :D
- I'm a fan of the UFC (Undisputed 2010 is awesome!)
- I suck at HTML (which is why I don't work well with some templates). I blame my 2nd year High School Teacher (good thing she was fired)
- I like any music, so long as it appeals to me
- I use a USB Modem to connect to the internet (which is why I don't have a PSN yet)
- I'm a GameFaqs user (although I use a different name, since War Clown was already taken)
- The best movies that I have ever watched are The Batman (Nolan series) and Iron Man movies
- I'm also a big Pixar fan. I have watched nearly all of their movies, and they're all awesome!
- The only Resident Evil that I have played are 4 and 5
- I'm also a big fan of inFamous, Killzone, & Uncharted (Yeah, they're all PS exclusives, and they are all awesome!)
- The only fighting games that I play are Tekken & Marvel Vs Capcom (Although I have played Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat before)
- I share my first name with one of the Templars (Marco Barbarigo)
Assassin's Creed
Current AC I'm playing: AC1 and AC:Bloodlines
Assassin's Creed is absolutely awesome! I love the story and nearly played all of them (the exceptions are the DS games, but that will change in August!). I can't wait for Brotherhood! It's going to be awesome, although I still lack a proper connection, so I can't play its new multi-player T_T (Still waiting for the phone company)
My friend lent me his copy of AC1 for the PS3, and oh man! I fell in love with it! The missions, the assassinations, the scenery, the lepers that push you around for no apparent reason, the beggars that ask you for money ("NO MEAN'S NO, DON'T YOU GET IT?! UGH!!!!!"), the stupid guards ("Hey who must've killed this innocent civilian? Wait a second, you're not praying! You must be the murderer!"), the ridiculous Leap of Faith ("Hehe, follow me know *****!"), the whole sci-fi part ("Ugh, Thank God it was just a simulation, isn't it doctor? Exactly! Hahaha!"), everything was awesome!
Afterwards, I immediately bought AC2 and, wow, such a massive improvement! It was absolutely amazing. Even today, I walk the streets of Venice killing guards just for Lulz. I've also played AC: Bloodlines for the Story Part. It plays like a dumbed-down AC1, but what did you expect? It's a portable release! Still, its pretty good in its own right.
In August, my sister is getting her DS and we made a deal: She lets me play the 2 AC Games for the DS, I let her play LittleBig Planet for the PS3. A generous offer eh? Afterwards, I'd help in making out the game's timelines.
Oh, and I've also watched the Lineage series. Pretty awesome side-story.
Pages I'm working/worked on
These are a list of pages that I have helped out on. I'm only listing the pages that I have given a major contribution on. Pages marked with a (*) at the end of the sentence is considered finished (or at least I've done my part). Those that are unfinished are listed with a brief explanation regarding its problems.
- The Hunt for the Nine: Altair's quest for redemption after his failed mission at Solomon's Temple. All we need now is screenshots
- The Assassination of Galeazzo Sforza: The incident in Milan during the Feast of Santo Stefano*
- Assault on Acre's harbor: Altair's attack on Acre, an attempt to learn more about the Templar's plans*
- Hunt on Cyprus: Altair's journey in Cyprus where he fights the Templar order, the order which is governing the island*
- Duel in the Templar Archive: Altair's fight with Armand Bouchart*
- The Birth of an Assassin: Ezio in training, preparing himself to step into his father's boots and continue his work. All that's left now with the story is Tuscany
- Giovanni in Rome: Giovanni's time in Rome*
(I just noticed that all of these are timeline articles :D)
Pictures from AC:Bloodlines
Pics I took while watching some walkthroughs on YouTube for the Storyline Articles. Since they mean so much to me, I thought I'd put them here in my User Page (Note: One of these images were taken from GameFAQS)

Tips for any Storyline Editors
As a member of the Istruttori (and as Chief Editor of the Timeline) I believe that it is my responsibility to teach those who wish to aid us in the timeline project what is right and what is wrong. I know I'm delusional to think that someone needs my help, but chances are, admins won't always be there to help you if you're expecting a fast reply. So I'll write down the simple things that you need to know about the Timelines....and hopefully, it might apply to other articles as well :D
A: Know what you can, Learn Right from Wrong
As an editor of this wiki, it is your job to learn what you need to about one particular character, event, weapon, place, etc etc, and then type them down here. Whatever you type will be viewed as fact by the fans of AC. It is important that you learn everything there is about something, and then typing them down here (or chatting them down on paper and then type them here, whichever you prefer).
B: Thou shall not type false information
Once it was said that misinformation is a whole lot worse than no information at all, and that is One-Hundred Percent True. If you write information that contradicts what is said from the game, chances are, people will believe what you have written, and this will result in an never-ending loop of flamewars and yo' mama jokes. So if you have doubts on your sources, best to keep to yourself....for the moment at least.
C: Seek Help from Others
Lack the knowledge to fill out a section? Then seek help from other prominent users! Like me, or him, or her, or them, or th-uhh....nevermind. Anyway, it is recommended that you seek the help of others if you lack the knowledge to fill out something, or if you doubt what you have heard and seen. Remember that you're not alone on this, but if you're editing an article detailing the events of a spin-off that nearly no one has played (*cough* Bloodlines *cough*), then you're on your own..at least for the story part :D
D: Write Right!
Remember that grammar is very important when it comes to articles. At talk pages and discussions, it barely matters, but in articles, its VERY important. Always remember that other people will be reading the stuff you type, so be very careful in typing out stuff. Okay that's all.....wait....what? Present tense, Past tense, Future tense? Hmm...I'd suggest Present Tense, but if the situation calls for you to use the others, then use it. Now, back to work!
E: Think before you act
When you see a little piece of info that you think is outright ridiculous and stupid (or it contradicts your source), what do you do? Undo it (Or in my case, Rollback)? Don't be so quick to negate what you think is false. Go to the previous editor's talk page, and have a little heart-to-heart moment, talk to them, tell them something, shout at their face if need be.
Okay, seriously, ask them where did they get the info, and chances are, he (or she) will tell you. If you find the reason believable but still have your doubts, consult with the higher-ups, or do your own research by playing AC again (and again and again). If the editor was right, then he/she was right, then he/she was right. If he/she was wrong, then he/she was wrong. Just remember to think before you act, and we'll be safe.
F: Seeing is believing
Other than text, Pictures and Images are also VERY important when it comes to articles (You wouldn't want to be staring at a huge wall of text now, would you?). It gives users a clearer picture when imagining the situation, and it can help out a lot in improving an article, especially if its of good quality. Of course, you can't just slap in a picture for no apparent reason, right? Learn how to properly integrate the images you have. Put them where they are needed, and learn how to explain these images. And try to limit the pictures if you can.
G: Polish Everything
Done with the article? Good, but don't leave just yet! Before you leave the article as it is, review what you've typed in carefully, check it out, word for word. Sometimes the tiniest mistakes can affect the entire article. Mistakes are common on articles. Heck, their might even be one here! But of course, these can be fixed easily. Before saving a page, always check it out first by pressing preview, and then review it there. Always check everything out :D
H: Present your work!
Feel like gloating about your success? Get the urge to rub in your hardwork on the other users? Want to hear the opinions of others? Then present your work to others! I recommend to get the higher-ups opinions, they know their stuff. But if you want my opinion, then I'd say sure. Just remember to take in criticism openly and kindly. You wanted opinions, right? Then expect them to be both good and bad, as you can never be sure, only suspect.
H-1: Not good enough?
They didn't like your work? Too bad. Of course, they wouldn't dislike it just because they didn't like you, now would they? Of course not! That would be outright ridiculous! There is always a reason behind criticism and there is a hundred percent chance that the critics will say what you need to improve on. Once they've given what you need to improve on, then waste no time and do it! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!
I: Celebrate!
You get good opinions? Then congratulations! Now celebrate by eating some strawberry cheese cake with cookies and milk at the side while watching Spongebob Squarepants on TV. Or rest, play, get out of the house, or if you have more time to kill, continue your work and help out more. Whichever you prefer.
J: Nothing is True, EVERYTHING IS PERMITTED
That right there, is the key. Remember that this is a site with information that ANYONE CAN EDIT! Always remember to check out what you've written, learn it's history, see who has been in and out, know who edited what. If you don't, you might regret it.
And That is a Wrap!
Well, that's all the tips I had in mind. Wait, you say your problem is not listed here? Wanna talk about it? Then go to my talk page, and we'll have some imaginary coffee (and maybe some of that cheese cake)
