==A Little About Me...==
==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 (1997), and have always loved how - in the [[GTA III Era]] - the games managed to balance realism with fun, over-the-top gameplay, and overall variety (in terms of missions, vehicles, music etc).
Hey there, I'm just a fairly average guy who happens to be a fan of the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series. I've been interested in the GTA series since the very [[1997|beginning]], although I didn't actually ''own'' a GTA game until 1999. I've always loved how the games managed to balance realism with fun, over-the-top gameplay, and I also loved the overall variety (missions, vehicles, music etc). Unfortunately, the balance was ruined in favour of ultra-realism and overdone graphics in GTA IV, which is a shame. Fortunately, though, GTA Chinatown Wars re-captured almost everything I loved about the previous games, while adding some new features into the mix.
 
However, I'm not a 'GTA fanboy'. I like many other video game series', such as, 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. 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. Currently, my favourite band is UnderOATH.
 
==Why Am I Here?...==
I'm just here to edit/improve this Wiki, like everyone else. I usually edit, pretty much, ''any'' article (mostly minor edits; spelling corrections, clean-up, categorising etc).

This is just a list of all the GTA games that I've owned, and what I liked about each of them.

My favourite consoles are, essentially, the consoles I've owned throughout the years; the Nintendo 64, Playstation, Playstation 2, Nintendo Wii, XBox 360, and the Nintendo DS. Out of all those consoles, though, the Playstation 2 is - by far - the best console I've ever had. The PC is also great for gaming, especially when it comes to adding custom content to games; greatly increases a game's longevity and reply value.

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 interested in the GTA series since the very beginning, although I didn't actually own a GTA game until 1999. I've always loved how the games managed to balance realism with fun, over-the-top gameplay, and I also loved the overall variety (missions, vehicles, music etc). Unfortunately, the balance was ruined in favour of ultra-realism and overdone graphics in GTA IV, which is a shame. Fortunately, though, GTA Chinatown Wars re-captured almost everything I loved about the previous games, while adding some new features into the mix.

However, GTA isn't the only franchise that I like. I also like Saints Row, True Crime, Driver, Hitman, SimCity, Tony Hawks Pro Skater, The Sims, Sonic the Hedgehog, Fable, Mass Effect, Pokémon, and many others. Generally I like action/adventure and RPG games, but I will occasionally play certain "shooters" and sports games - despite the fact that I typically find them boring and repetitive.

My favourite consoles are, essentially, the consoles I've owned throughout the years; the Nintendo 64, Playstation, Playstation 2, Nintendo Wii, XBox 360, and the Nintendo DS. Out of all those consoles, though, the Playstation 2 is - by far - the best console I've ever had. The PC is also great for gaming, especially when it comes to adding custom content to games; greatly increases a game's longevity and reply value.

My taste in music mostly centers around the following genres: Post-Hardcore, Screamo, Metal, Alternative, and Trance/Electronica.
