First off, I apologise, as this seems to be a trend at the moment, but for various reasons, I will not be as active as I once was. This is primarily due to a loss of interest, but also due to the fact that - as A-Dust mentioned - the constant cleaning up of bad edits/minor mistakes (most of which are the same mistakes from the same users) is making coming here a chore. However, I'll still be around to help out with the Cleanup Project and anything else that needs done.

A Little About Me...
Hey there, I'm just a pretty average guy who, unsurprisingly, happens to be a fan of the Grand Theft Auto series. I've been playing GTA games since the very beginning, although I didn't actually own a GTA game until 1999. I have always loved how the games managed to balance realism with fun, over-the-top gameplay, and the overall variety (in terms of missions, vehicles, music etc). Unfortunately, the balance was ruined in favour of ultra-realism and overdone graphics in GTA IV, which is a shame.
However, I'm not a "GTA fanboy", I like many other video game series', including, Saints Row, True Crime, Driver, Hitman, SimCity, Tony Hawks Pro Skater, The Sims, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Pokémon. My favourite consoles are, essentially, the consoles I've owned; the Nintendo 64, Playstation, Playstation 2, Nintendo Wii, XBox 360, and the Nintendo DS. Out of all those consoles, though, the Playstation 2 is definately the best console I've ever had. The PC is also great for gaming, especially when it comes to adding custom content to games.
As far as music goes, I like Post-Hardcore Rock, Screamo, Heavy/Thrash/Death/Industrial Metal, and some occasional Techno/Industrial/Dance music.

What Do I Do Here?...
I will usually edit, pretty much, any article (mostly minor edits; spelling corrections, clean-up, categorising etc), although I mostly just check the Recent Changes and correct or revert anything "bad". However, my main focus at the moment is helping out with the Cleanup Project.
