==A Little About Me...==
==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 [[1997|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 regards to missions, vehicles, music etc). Unfortunately, the balance was ruined in favour of ultra-realism and overdone graphics in GTA IV, which is a shame.

I also like many other video game series', including, Saints Row, True Crime, Driver, Hitman, SimCity, Tony Hawks Pro Skater, The Sims, Sonic the Hedgehog, Fable, Mass Effect, 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.

I will usually edit, pretty much, ''any'' article (mostly minor edits; spelling corrections, clean-up, categorising etc), although I mostly just check the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] and correct or revert anything "bad". Currently I'm focusing on miniscule, but important tasks, such as sorting out the [[Special:Uncategorizedpages|uncategorised pages]], [[Special:Orphanedpages|orphaned pages]], and [[Special:Uncategorizedfiles|uncategorised files]] (although I, pretty much, give up with the latter).

Revision as of 16:28, 2 October 2009

I will not be as active as I once was, this is primarily due to a loss of interest (in both the wiki and the GTA series), along with the constant cleaning up of bad edits/minor mistakes (most of which are the same mistakes from the same users). 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 whenever I can. 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 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 (in regards to missions, vehicles, music etc). Unfortunately, the balance was ruined in favour of ultra-realism and overdone graphics in GTA IV, which is a shame. Since then I haven't really bothered with the GTA series.

However, the GTA series isn't the only series 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, and Pokémon. Generally I like action/adventure and RPG games, although I will occasionally play certain "shooters" and sports games - despite the fact that I typically find them bland, 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 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.

My taste in music mostly centers around the following genres; Post-Hardcore, Deathcore, Metalcore, Screamo, Heavy/Death/Industrial Metal, Alternative, and Techno/Trance/Gothic/Industrial/Dance/Electronica/Psytrance.

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". Currently I'm focusing on miniscule, but important tasks, such as sorting out the uncategorised pages, orphaned pages, and uncategorised files (although I, pretty much, give up with the latter).
