Whats Your Story daubeur

Well I made it to the end of 1988! I have no intention of stopping either, and will be looking for a copy of Chamber of the Sci-Mutant Priestess shortly. That being said, the massive business project Ive been working on for the last couple of months actually launches tomorrow, and then Im off to Hong Kong next week for a few days, so Im afraid Im not yet able to throw myself into gaming and blogging as much as Id like to. I plan to have a month off at the end of the year and man, do I look forward to it!

This weeks Whats Your Story post is for daubeur. While the French have not been extremely well represented by their games just yet, they have been by their citizens, of which daubeur is one.


My home country is... France (Paris), but I live in Hamburg (Germany).

My age is... 37

The first adventure game I played was... Transylvania I think, although "play" is a big word as I couldnt speak any English at that time (so I would just move around and get eaten by the werewolf). I think the first game I "really" played (and finished) was Zombi, on Amstrad CPC.


When I’m not playing games I like to... play music, learn a bunch of stuff (currently learning the Python programming language), watch movies and discuss about it

I like my games in (a box, digital format)… box, if properly done. Nothing beats Ultimas maps.

My favourite adventure game is... Guild of Thieves


The thing I miss about old games is… how close the developers teams seemed to be to the players. I remember actually calling Ubisoft after meeting a bunch of them at the Amstrad expo. And they answered.

The best thing about modern games is… the immersion made possible through 3D environment. Especially when visiting "real" places Ive been to (The Mall in Fallout 3 made quite an impression on me).

The one TV show I never miss is… I dont watch TV, but the best series ever are 6 Feet under, The (UK) Office and Monty Python Flying Circus


If I could see any band live it would be… Frank Zappa, or Jimi Hendrix

One interesting thing about me is… Id love to run a quantitative study finding out about the underlying moral conceptions that can be found in horror movies through the ages.

My favourite movie is… Three colours: Red (actually any Kieslowski film could be my favourite). I could have named Kurosawa or Kubrick but if its about exchanging with the rest of the guys, Id rather name the one thats a bit less famous :)
