i really am tired of listing out all the things that i like, since its repeated on my social networking profile pages. simply put, i like a lot of things.
origin of the dark crewsader
so who in their right mind comes up with a name like dark crewsader. well, u can ask the same question to all the people with internet aliases too. but i am dodging the question.

the real origin of it is from a game i had called Crusader: No Remorse. i dont want to go into details but it was a good game. around that time, i got myself an email account (quite the technology those days) through Juno. i was about to use my real name before my sister told me that only losers use their real name on the internet.

being the young child i was, i didnt want to be a loser, so my sister decided to come up with a name for me. she looked at the box for the game and in a few minutes, out came "Crewsader". to be honest, i think the dark part is added just for coolness factor a few years afterwards (or some fool stole my name).

regardless, i've taken the name and tried to interpret it figuratively and literally. i've come to a lot of conclusions. ill post some lengthy article about it some other time.

some history
since this is a section about me, i guess i will also do a brief history section. i should have picture examples with more descriptions in the gallery section.

off the top of my head, the first website i made was either on angelfire or geocities or one of those free website services. it was during the crux of the pokemon craze and i just HAD to make a website about my love for pokemon. back then of course, i decided to use my then-battle.net account name: HuntrKiller (yes i am ROFL as i read this too). it was something along the lines of: HuntrKiller's Pokemon Website, or Pokemon Extravaganza or some other crap that could be Pokemon Orgy for all i care. anyways, that was my first website.

after numerous experimentation and hundreds of broken links later, i've gotten to this point. technically it isnt my ninth website, but the ninth one using the dark crewsader name. i've made dozens of other stuff with more or less success.

for your information
the person depicted at the top of this website is none other than the great Lord Guan, or Guan Yu. just one of my many interests.
