First off, I apologise, as this seems to be a trend among staff members 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, brought on by the constant cleaning up of bad edits/minor mistakes (most of which are the same mistakes from the same users), because of this I'm generally just losing the will to edit, and coming here feels more like a chore now. I know this seems like a selfish decision, but if you put yourself in my position, you'd begin to see how annoying it is to have to clean up after other users all the time - especially when I'm one of the few people who seems to actually bother doing it. However, if you need me for anything, just send me a PM or leave a message on my talk page and I'll get back to you ASAP. See ya.

A Little About Me...
Hey there, I'm just a fairly average guy who 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 I also loved 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, Saint's 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".
