Biography
My name is Vent Aileron, at least on the internet. I'm eighteen years old, born in China by Chinese parents and currently studying Computer Science with specialization in game technologies in The Netherlands.

I have been gaming since I was four years old, or so my parents claim. I grew up with games, literally. My father worked in a business selling PCs. I frequently visited their showroom and watched them play Doom II, which was quite state of the art back then.

Gaming History and Tastes
I always tell everyone that I seem to play every genre there is. I seem to avoid most hardcore games that a lot of people play though. I only played World of Warcraft for two hours or so and if you asked me how Call of Duty: Modern Warfare looks like, I'll just answer: 'No idea.'

My particular love for RPGs started in China. I had this game called '仙剑奇侠传' (xian jian qi xia zhuan), which was a turn-based RPG. I don't think I understood the story back then, since I wasn't good enough in my own motherlanguage back then to read that much text, but somehow I got the point of the story. My favorite character back then was female mage, with twin-ponytails, black hair, white/blue suit and with both healing and elemental spells. Maybe that's why in all the MMORPGs I've play these last years I was almost always playing mage or cleric class. My love for the color white and blue and the ponytail hairstyle is a whole different matter though, haha.

Before I moved to the Netherlands I got the first Red Alert; my first RTS. I wasn't particular good in it, but I understood how it worked in a flash. I'm still not really good in RTS games, mainly because I like to stare at the battles instead managing my units. My lack of skill in RTS games has been a real downer, since I haven't played RTS games online with other people, simply because I lose all the time.

Of course the last years MMORPGs are the games that I play the most. I usually play the free-to-play games. My first MMORPG is, as hard as I want to admit, Runescape. The good news is is that I wasn't impressed at all by the game and only played for three weeks or so. Pure peer pressure that I played that game. That was the harsh truth. If you asked me which was my first MMORPG then I would answer 'ROSE Online'. Right, for me that was the first your-standard point-and-click MMO. Following ROSE is Flyff and after that Space Cowboy Online, I spent a lot of time in the latter. Today I seem to hop from one MMO to another; I am a game hopper.

Another noticeable game that I've played is the X-series. Now there's a big chance you don't know which X I'm talking about. A German developer Egosoft made these awesome space-sim games. My first one was X2 The Threat, which I got together with my a NVidia graphics card I bought. Since then I've been buying the games and love them to death.

Now for the rather dodgy games I played and love. Of course, there has been a wave of creative/dodgy games the last years. Scribblenauts is a perfect example of what people are capable now. The games I want to talk about are Ace Attorney and Puyo Pop. The first one is a courtroom game while the latter is a exquisite variation of Tetris.

Well that sums is up quite nicely. I think I mentioned all the noticeable games I've played, at least to my standards.
