- JORDAN DEBONO

Introduction
Hey hey, this is JORDAN DEBONO from Malta typing (don't get confused; my original name was JORDANDEBONO). Just a few things about me: I am from the Republic of Malta; I love the Mario-series and astronomy and I have no pets. Read on to get to know me better...

Games, Consoles and Comments
Here I'm listing the consoles I own, the Mario-games I have on them comments and a completion check. The following comments are based on my personal opinion, so to another gamer, it might be a different story. I suggest, if you want a game or console, don't hesitate buying it because of others. Just get it. Reviews are only there as a guidance, nothing more.

- Finished 90% or over. - Not completely finished. - Game cannot be completed as there is really nothing to unlock.
 * Legend:

Wii
The Wii, although my favourite home console, is not my favourite console as a whole. I'm not quite sure, I just prefer handhelds I guess. I got it as soon as it came out. Don't get me wrong, although not being my no.1 fav it does have better games than the others. I go on it at least twice a week to do the community polls, judge some Miis and watch the occasional Nintendo Network video. Although this number will increase once I hopefully get Mario Party 9. On the whole though, I don't regret one bit getting this revolution in gaming tech.

Nintendo DS (Lite)
The one and only DS is just awesome. I never managed to get the DSi or XL but the original and Lite are both mine, although I sold the original to get the Lite. Nintendo were very right by stating that double the screens meant double the fun! Having said this, the only good games that came out on this gem were Mario and LEGO&copy; series games. This was probably due to the fact that graphics were considerably poor. But this still doesn't get in the way of the touchscreen, mic and overall uniqueness.

Nintendo 3DS
Simply the best of Nintendo to date. 3 dimensions, 3D video and camera, circle pad, updates, internet, eShop, touchscreen, mic (placed in a better position), graphics, Street and Spot Pass, friend list... the list is endless! A totally new and revamped handheld actually puts the DSi to shame. I got this as soon as it came out thus meaning I was part of the Ambassador Program which was an extra plus. Any and every gamer must get this.

Virtual Console (3DS)
These old fashioned games don't mean much to me as I never played them when I was young. I'm used to the newer, better graphic games. The only Virtual Console games I will ever get will be because they're free. Even so I will still list and comment about them although I will only rate these games out of five as none of them would exceed this.

Gaming
Nintendo is by far my favourite gaming company because in my opinion they have the most experience since they've been around at the beginning of the video game industry. I was born in 1999 so I don't know much about PANASONIC&copy; and SEGA&copy;. But I do know quite abit about SONY&copy; and MICROSOFT&copy;. Here are my opinions about the last two together with Nintendo.


 * NINTENDO&copy;

Nintendo are awesome in my opinion because they tend to go for games which are non-violent but fun at the same time. Their consoles are complex yet well thought out. They focus on gameplay and for me, gameplay is very important as your experience has to be enjoyable, not depressing like all those 16/18+ FPS games. Also, Nintendo are owners of some of the greatest and most successful game series in history, an example is our long time favourite: Mario. Unfortunately and fortunately, Nintendo is moving to suite a wider variety of gamers (Wii U prime example), so 16/18+ death games are slowly making their way to them. So long as Nintendo continue making Mario games, I'm fine.


 * SONY&copy;

I hope no true Sony lover will read this, but then again it's a chance for them to gain fresh ideas. Always in my personal opinion, Sony are truly copycats of Nintendo. The PS Move is a poor version of the Wii. I mean c'mon, synchronization is needed after every game mode you choose. The PS Vita is no better. We all know where the touchscreen came from, and there are rumours that the handheld will also act like a second controller for the PS3 or said-to-come PS4 like the Wii U was designed. I'm not telling Sony to utilize the latest tech, just not to copy. For example, their touchpanel was a nice touch (get it). Apart from this, their selection of games for consoles is horrible. You barely see a decent 3, 7 or 12+ game for sale. Overall, Sony is my least favourite company from the 3 although please note this doesn't include all their other products.


 * MICROSOFT&copy;

Microsoft isn't as bad as Sony although their selection of games and gameplay certainly is no better. Their not as bad as their not hot on the pace of creating new consoles and advertising them, they're not copycats and let's face it, if it wasn't for Microsoft, gaming wouldn't be as good as it is today. I don't really have much against them, after all my first ever console was the original XBOX. So as quickly as I started I'm going to end.

TV, Movies and Music
Over here I will talk about my favourite programs, movies and music. I will not talk about Mario cartoons or movies (not really my favourites) so if you're here to read about them, I suggest you skip this paragraph. First up is television.


 * TV

I basically watch three channels on the telly; Discovery Science&copy;, Disney XD&copy; and Cartoon Network&copy;. Apart from theThe Gadget Show&copy;,I can't really tell you any other names of the shows I watch on Discovery Science, but I can tell you the genre: astronomy. Apart from Mario, astronomy is my favourite academic subject. That's why I just love Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2. Going on to XD, I like seeing Phineas and Ferb&copy; and Zeke and Luther&copy;. Finally turning to just animation on Cartoon Network, my favourite shows are Battle Force 5&copy;, The Marvellous Misadventures of Flapjack&copy; and my all time killer, Star Wars: The Clone Wars&copy;! As you can see my interests are mainly based on tech and astronomy.


 * Movies

There are so many new movies coming out that its almost impossible to list all my favourite ones. Having said this, there is a dead series which I used to love: The Star Wars Saga&copy;. But what I can tell you is my favourite genre: comedy. Anything with a sense of good, clean humour goes down well for me.


 * Music

Today's music is very mixed up. It seems the most popular songs have a real catchy beat and tune, but horrible lyrics. I mean, for MTV&copy; to view songs they have re-edit them to chop off all the swear or crude words; that's assuming it's possible to do so as there there are some songs with whole paragraphs of just plain non-sense. My favourite band is probably Coldplay&copy; although they been abit too relaxed recently. 30 seconds to Mars&copy; isn't that bad and Bruno Mars as well. (It's a coincidence for both of them to have Mars in their name). That's about it, although if there's a song out there which is not full of bad lyrics, I will probably like it. Apart from these types of music, I love video game music, especially from the Super Mario Galaxy series (what a surprise). And I'm not that bad at humming them either.

The Knowledge Sector
In this sector of my userpage, I will be teaching those patient learners about to of my favourite subjects: Astronomy and my native language Maltese. The knowledge I'm about to share with you should be treated as info on WIKIPEDIA&copy;, mistakes are guaranteed as this is only written by one person. But still, if you're bored and what to feel as if you're doing something useful in your time, please read on.

Astronomy
Astronomy is a vast subject, so vast it puts all other subjects to shame by how little information they can provide. This is why astronomers study different sectors and features of space. Some examples are our Solar System, suns and their planets, asteroids and comets, black hole, E.T., galaxies, Magellanic Clouds, matter... the list never ends. Over here I'll just give small briefings about our solar system, suns and planets and distant galaxies.

The 8 main planets are split up into two further groups, the Rocky or Inner Planets and the Gas or Outer Giants. The Inner Planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The Rockies are made up of rock and other solids and a core as it name implies. They have few if no moons at all and are all before the Asteroid Belt which separates the two sets of planets. The Gas Planets are not made of rock, but rather gases and a core. These planets all have rings, are all way larger than the Rockies combined and all have a substantial amount of satellites. Beyond the Gassies is another belt similar to the Asteroid Belt named the Kuiper Belt. In here we find not only asteroids and Dwarf Planets such as Pluto, but also comets. Beyond here is the Oort Cloud which separates our Solar System from Interstellar Space.
 * Our solar system is made of the Sun, 8 planets, and over 200 moons or satellites. Our Sun (or Sol) is a gigantic ball of gas burning at extremely high temperatures. Our Sol has already burned through half of its life cycle! That leaves us with another billion years or so till we have move planet.


 * Beyond Our Home is interstellar space as mentioned above. Basically its the space which separates one system from another. If you travel for another few trillion years at light speed you will come out of our Milky Way galaxy. From here you will be able to travel from one galaxy to another, our closest one being Andromeda. Once out of a galaxy, you reach an ever growing space. What is beyond this space is unknown. Probably another universe or it could just be nothingness. Your guess is as good as mine!!

This is where my miniscule space tour will end. I hope you enjoyed it and will continue doing research on this most perplexing and vast subject! If you would like to know anything else, some question or query about this subject, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. I will be more than happy to answer you :-)

Maltese Language
Here I will be teaching you the basics of my native language Maltese. Here are a few interesting facts about it before we actually start. Maltese is only spoken in the Maltese Islands; that is Malta and Gozo; the other 4 are uninhabitable. We use Roman characters to write our letters but we pronounce them like the Arabs do, meaning Maltese is Semitic, although we have a handful of words coming from English and Italian. That's about it. Now lets go on to actually learning the language.

Għ and Ie are not typos. They're to letters put together to form one single letter. So in a Maltese crossword, you fill in Għ and Ie in one box not two separate ones.
 * The Alphabet is quite similar to English although it has a few new exclusive additions to it. Here's the Maltese alphabet : Aa, Bb, Ċċ, Dd, Ee, Ff, Ġġ, Gg, Għgħ, Hh, Ħħ, Ii, Ieie, Jj, Kk, Ll, Mm, Nn, Oo, Pp, Qq, Rr, Ss, Tt, Uu, Vv, Ww, Xx, Żż, Zz.
 * Pronunciation-- Its important to realise that these letters have different pronunciations to the English letters. A is pronounced a with your mouth open; B is be; Ċ is the sound of ch in English; D is de; E is e (not ee); F is fe; Ġ is je; G is ge; Għ is ayn (although its silent when speaking it); H is akka (also silent); Ħ is he (not hee); I is e (pronounced in English); Ie is e (in English) and e (in Maltese); J is ye; K is ke; L is elle; M is emme; N' is enne; O is o (not oh); P is pe; Q is qe (pronounced using your voicebox); R is re; S is se; T is te; U is oo; V is ve; W is we (not wee); X is the sound of sh in English; Ż is ze; Z is tse.

For further info just simply talk to me on my chat page and get all the answers you need. Not to show off, but I did get first in Maltese three times in a row! For those who really want to learn Maltese (or even English!!), Malta is the place for you to learn. With sun shining 24/7 and some of the best beaches in Europe, coming here is more of a holiday than a language course!!
