Tedius Zanarukando

My username was inspired by the Square Enix video game Final Fantasy X. "Zanarukando" is the Japanese kana spelling of "Zanarkand." "Tedius" was inspired by the pronunciation of the character name "Tidus", which is derived from "Tiida", which is Ainu for "sun." It is somehow confused with the word "tedious", also implying that I have no interest in romantic relationship. I first chose the username in 2002.

SimCity Societies is a social engineering game rather than a city building game. Because it is not developed by Maxis, SimCity Societies should count as a spinoff rather than a flagship installment of the SimCity series. Thus the next SimCity game after Societies may be called "SimCity 5" instead of "SimCity 6", making it the true successor to SimCity 4, and the textures could be called "SC5.5_xxxxxxxxx."

Because it is not developed by Maxis, I found that SimCity Societies is not SimCity 5. It is just a spinoff of the SimCity franchise. Therefore, the title SimCity 5 can be recycled for a future SimCity game.

There is a gap between popular opinion and what is written in the law. I am aware that the copyright system is far from synch with socioeconomic reality. The international copyright system has undermined its own objective. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is very controversial. I am opposed to international copyright law myself. The worst form of copyright infringement penalty is a cease-and-desist order. I support abandonware. I have been using abandonware since November 30, 2000. There are Latin phrases used in law such as malum prohibitum and malum in se to refer to crimes. Malum prohibitum literally means wrong because it is against the law. It refers to activities that are illegal only because a statute makes it so. Malum in se means wrong because it is inherently evil. It refers to violations based on English common law and obvious violations of society's standards.

I am a big Final Fantasy fan myself. I cannot wait to see Final Fantasy: Advent Children. It is a computer graphics movie, and I am a fan of computer graphics movies. It has that beautiful Tifa Lockheart. Final Fantasy VII is one of my favorite games, but my favorite is Final Fantasy X, as my user name implies.
