Hey there, whatcha looking here?

First of all welcome to my profile!

I am Fr0stPh03niX and I love playing games (as you would have probably guessed by now!).
I like playing FPS and Co-Op games the most, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy the other genres too. Among the other genres I also like RPGs, racing, and looter shooters - (the Borderlands series being my favorite among them).

I also am a lore lover and I love reading things that pique my interest. So if I find enthusiasm in a specific game's lore, I love to invest myself in it.

I have a keen interest in developers who have made outstanding games with their fantastic vision.

I used to trade games in the past when I was into trading and I had them in my stock but please don't add me if you are BEGGING FOR FREE GAMES.
Coz I seriously f*cking hate that.

Read on to know more about me

I try to hunt achievements for the games which I have thoroughly enjoyed and complete them fully to 100% if possible. I used to have the stigma of completing every game to the fullest I used to play, but as I have grown and due to more and more time constraints, I only hunt the achievements of the game to the max which I have fully loved! Also, if you are up for a particular game's achievement or need help, I will happily play that along with you if my time abides.

I buy games with whatever hard-earned money I save since I cannot afford to buy all of them in one go. That is why I usually wait for sales to pick my wishlist ones in bulk. Sometimes if my friends really want (or rather force me ) to play some hot picks/trending games with them, I save up for those too. Still waiting for the "rags to riches" moment in my life when I can finally purchase anything I like without a second thought!
Also, sad to say but many of the games these days come out unpolished on release (apart from a select few Indie titles maybe), and then day 1 patches are issued to fix the problems. This has been an industry trend for a while now, as more and more games are pushing for the "GAAS" (Games As A Service) model.

I am a Collector too. Apart from my game collection, I also like to collect currencies from different countries and I have a small collection of them. In my childhood days, I used to collect stamps of different values, but ain't got no time for that now.
I also have a stack full of Pokémon Jenga Tazos and Beyblades from my ancient collection days (some of them were custom-made by me too!). Ah, those childhood memories!

I respect other's opinions a lot because different people can have different opinions on a particular subject, but when things get out of hand and the opponent generally overwhelms me with their crap, I don't spare them either. So, be careful.

Single-player games with good storytelling always delight me! Art style triumphs over graphics any day. Games that have great story or good gameplay mechanics always deserve a try, even if their graphics are not on par with modern standards. Also, flashback to my childhood days when every single game didn't have shoehorned microtransactions in them.

I like to play a variety of games depending on their genre. I love FPS (both competitive and casual shooters), Co-op, Open World (do linear games even exist in this today's era?), and RPG games. I had lots of fun playing Dead Island, Payday 2, Borderlands 2, and Killing Floor 2 in co-op (back when I barely had any games to play with on a proper PC). I still cherish those memories as I got to meet lots of cool randoms and become their friends of which many of them are still my long-time friends to date.

My favorite bands of all time are Poets of the Fall and Hinder (man Austin John Winkler, I miss your voice in Hinder so much). Big fan of theirs and I love <3 them to death! The music of POTF and Hinder is a pure sense of art, and I consider Marko Saaresto and Austin Winkler to be legends. POTF and Hinder have kept my hopes and morale high in many ups and downs of my life throughout, and I literally can't think of a moment when I didn't listen to POTF/Hinder when I was at a low ebb or suffering from some stupid anxiety.

I was a Payday 2 veteran formerly. Now you may ask, why am I telling you this all of a sudden, I will happily abide to give you an answer.
When I used to play Payday 2 regularly, lots of people sought build advice from me, thus I used to have a whole 5-10 detailed builds listed here on my profile page. Now that I no longer play the game as much as I used to, I have decided to remove all the builds as it doesn't make any sense to keep a huge wall of text floating here (half of my friend list consists of people whom I had met, played and enjoyed Payday 2 with, so all the memories still abide with me).
