Part of the universe I'm building is a brand new developed language: Laer liuncoro Rahtourior ("It is called Rahtourior"). It has its own alphabet, but I obviously cannot write it out like that here 
. 
I agree; Diamond and Pearl weren't that great at all. But, I guess once you redo the same thing so many times, you have to have a loser in there somewhere
My syntax course was the bane of my existence last semester, and the first half of my morphology class this semester (before we got a new, better teacher) was just as horrible. I just can't deal with all that technical, picky stuff...
Yeah, I liked B/W more than D/P (though I still had some gripes with B/W that they have mostly fixed with B/W2, like how in B/W you could only catch 5th gen Pokemon until you beat the Elite Four, which irritated me endlessly!).
Oh, word order and stuff isn't really that hard; that's actually one of the easiest mental parameters, if you will, it reset when learning a language. What I mean is that in my syntax course, a lot of it was about theories of how people think that languages are underlyingly structured, so we would have to draw all these trees and all showing all kinds of crazy movement, working off of the idea that for the most part, a lot of things move to totally different places by the time they're actually pronounced. It was just tedious, and I didn't quite get the point of it.

I am Ultimate Ridley, named for the Metroid villain. I am also known as Kabutopzilla depending on the site. I am a... well, to be honest, I don't find myself drawing all that much, at least not in comparison to the main form of art I dabble in: universe building. I've been building a universe for about six years now, and it is pretty big and very detailed at this point. When I do draw, it's not in any predetermined style because I am self-taught.
Here are my interests...
Movies: Pretty much any movie that is not a "chick flick" or otherwise focuses on romance (romance can be an element of the film and I'll be okay, but I can't stand romance-centered movies). I tend to lean more towards sci-fi and action, however. My favorite movies include The Dark Knight, A Clockwork Orange, Fight Club, The Godfather, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (and also The Life of Brian), and recently, Looper.
Music: Metal. For most people, that's a good enough description of musical taste, but for my fellow metalheads (should any read this) I'll just name some of my favorite bands: Be'lakor, Wintersun, Equilibrium, Opeth, Scar Symmetry, August Burns Red. I listen to many more bands than just those, however.
Video Games: My favorite game series of all time is the Metroid series. I own every single installment, have beaten each installment at least 3 times (some of them I've beaten over 30 times), and I love all of them. Of the only four games that I would personally rate a perfect 10/10, 3 of those games belong to the Metroid series (Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, and Metroid: Zero Mission). I love the series so much that I actually get extremely agitated and unhealthily protective when I see "smaller" franchises like Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, and Professor Layton get more attention on message boards such as, for example, Serebii. I am, by all definitions, a Metroid elitist.
My second favorite game series of all time is Pokémon. Unlike Metroid, which caught me in my teen years and blew me away, Pokémon defines a part of my childhood. I was (barely) old enough to appreciate Red/Blue when it came out in the United States, but I'd say my interest didn't really begin to blossom until Gold/Silver. Since then, I have been all over any canon Pokémon game (not much into the spin-offs that are not Mystery Dungeon related). Of my "4 Perfect Games" mentioned above, one belongs to this series: Pokémon Emerald.
Other favorite game series: Assassin's Creed, Halo, Dead Space, Gears of War, Half-Life, Mass Effect, The Elder Scrolls (anyone remember Morrowind? I do!), Fallout
Other Interests: Linguistics, universe building (as noted above), computers, zoology (especially paleozoology), prehistory, making really goddamn long posts, American history, etc.
Most of what I put in my gallery will pertain to the universe I've been building, otherwise it will be a Fakemon I made. I also have a few pictures of my old Fallout comics (and their spiritual successor, Mass Defect).
So yeah. Hey.
