Meet the Mob: Abdulla AlSuwaidi

Tuesday, July 13, 2010

Greetings!

My name is Abdulla AlSuwaidi, and I hail from the United Arab Emirates. I've been following Bitmob since it started and I'm an avid listener of the Mobcast. I made an account once Bitmob was public, and I left it till it got suspended. A few months later I'm back and finally posting! I've made a commitment to be active this time around. ;D

I'm into RPGs, Action-RPGs, Adventure games, and Platformers. I recently got into Dungeon Crawlers, and some shooters, which aren't my favorite games, and I'm pretty much open to anything as long as I like it... except for sports games. Never liked any of the new ones after the N64 days, but I do like Goldeneye and Uncharted. They're the closest to me coming to like shooters. I do remember playing all the SMB games back in '93 and '94 on my Uncle's SNES and NES and liking them, yet I regret getting them off Virtual console for some reason.... D:

Speaking of not liking things, I forgot to mention that I have a love/hate relationship with some games. It's all thanks to my OCD, which is very inconvenient when playing all these games with trophies and achievements. Dungeon Crawlers that require you to fill maps square-by-square are my worst enemy for obvious reasons. I'm the guy who spends money till he gets an amount that's divisible by 2 in his wallet. >_>

I currently own a PS2, a PS3, DSi, and a Wii.

Not that I'm bragging, but I also have a Game Boy, a Game Boy Pocket, a Game Boy Printer, a Game Boy Camera, GB Color and GBA. Yes, all the oldies still work, even the printer. :p

ENVY ME! :p xD

My favorite games of all time? Legend of Dragoon, Metroid Fusion, and Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening.

Oh, and did I mention I'm an avid Square Enix and Atlus fan?

Miyamoto is my hero. :p

I CAN HAZ NINTENCATS?! xD

I recently started a podcast called "You There, Speak!", it's a culturally-themed podcast where we tackle stuff that's going on here and around the world. I get people from different backgrounds and nationalities to participate and contribute to the discussion. I encourage you to tune in.

Aaaaaaaaanyway, I'm looking forward to posting more stuff and interacting with the community for real this time! Cheers!

I believe I've seen some of your tweets that Mohammad retweeted. Helllloooo! Nice to get to know you.

Oh, and there's a thing on the site called Meet the Mob, which you've essentially written. If you tag this with 'Meet the Mob' it'll be easier to find with the others like it.

Helllloooooooo!!! Nice to meet you too! Thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to tag it. ;D

By the way, forgive me if I'm all over the place, I've been battling sleep trying to type that. It's almost 4am here! xD

Welcome, Abdulla! I had no idea we had readers in the UAE! Talk about market penetration!

You like dungeon crawlers? Modern dungeon crawlers or older games like the Icewind Dale series? Have you played Demon's Souls? Or are you more about roguelikes?

Alex:  Thanks for pointing Abdulla to Meet the Mob!

Hello Jason! You should thank the internet for bringing people together, I'm sure you got fans in even the most remote of places. Also, brain somehow associated your comment with your voice from the podcast, so I "heard" you say that comment. It's either that or I'm finally losing it. xD

My first foray into Dungeon Crawlers was Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey. I can't recall any old ones from my youth.

YES! I've played Demon's Souls, love it. I'm not that very good at it, unfortunately.

Roguelikes you say? I played Nethack over and over again till I beat it. IT WAS HELL! But it was worth it, I enjoyed every moment of it. I've played some modern ones like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, the Chocobo games and Torchlight (at a friend's I don't own a copy). I enjoy them immensely, they're an outlet for my obsessive nature.

Well, well, well, look who finally has started posting on Bitmob! Welcome Abdulla!!!

I can vouch that you are a very friendly and informative Twitterer. And I do envy you - I want that Game Boy Printer! ;)

Hey Lance, that printer and it's  two remaining rolls will be passed down as an heirloom in my family. :p
