Yuhaa!! I am just a kinda random guy from Norway... I dream of someday becoming a manga-arist or something. Though I also have some games I want to make... I have a couple of gameplay concepts I want to try out. Also I am a japanophile and kinda otaku person... I like to draw, play games read manga and watch anime. And I wanna learn japanese someday.. sounds cliché, no? xD
I am kinda retro when it comes to games though, not the hardcore NES kind of retro, but I guess I'll be stuck with the good old N64 for a long time... Except for that, I do enjoy a lot of freeware games, the Zelda series, Super Smash bros. melee , and also an array of a few other random games.
Though when it comes to manga and anime on the other hand, I have no special preference, I read or watch what I can get... Though I do enjoy comedy shows a little more than other genres, think azumangah daioh, yotsuba&, gintama, especially 4 panel comics are a must. : D
I see myself as a relatively happy-go person and do my best to try to keep a positive attitude in most situations.
Also, I'm a christian. And my name is Kristian... yeah, but don't get any unfitting ideas about me and my belief just yet. You see, Christianity isn't a deed religion and you don't need to belong in any specific culture or sub-culture to be a Christian, and you don't have to run around preaching God's word to everyone.
No, all we have to do is believe in Him. The Christian message is that what Jesus did is enough. The whole world has been saved through Him, all sin is destoyed, and all we can do is receive.
Many people make Christianity into a deed religion, but that is actually the big difference between Christianity and other religions, cause salvation isn't based on what we do, it is based on what He did! He took away our sin all by Himself, we didn't have anything to do about it. It's a gift! And you never pay for a gift, no matter how much it cost. All you have to do is accept it.
Rom 10:9-13 :
because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
John 3:16-17 :
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him."
Rom 10:4 :
"For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes."
Matt 11:30 :
"For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
The reason I put so much of my belief into my ID, is that it's the most important part of life and it's a message I would like to share with as many as possible. Not because I have to, but because I want to. And I might not understand everything, and I might not know the answer to every question. But I have heard and read many enough testimonies to know that this is true, and I can feel a strong joy in me and the power of the word, that tells me this is right.
JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE!!!
