Biography »

Let's see, this is where I am supposed to tell you about myself so...Let me tell you a little bit about where my last name comes from... Long ago, before mankind truly ruled this planet that we call home, there was, forged deep within the forgotten and shadowed crevices of our world, a sword made from the steal bones of a shark eating water dragon...who was made of STEEL! The bones of this mystical beast were gathered and hammered out by a dark and lonely wondering hunter named Wolfbane Rehcnaf, the mighty fish hunter. Whilst traveling the desolate roads that burned their way through the trenches of the earth Wolfbane stumbled upon the steal remains of the deceased beast and melted its bones in the fire that slept below the Bridge of Fangorf. With this steel the man created a sword with a reflective surface so powerful, that the flames of the earth would reflect off of it and burn the air around it!...Well to make a long story short that guy hated his last name and sold it to a guy who could only read things backwards...that man was my ancestor... Tom, who would forever be known as Tom Fancher. That's where my last name comes from.

I guess Microsoft has their 54.2 percent failure rate to thank for that. This does not look good for Microsoft especially when you compare the failure rate to Sony’s 10.6 percent for the PS3 and the Wii’s 6.8 percent.
