Me looking at an endless field of blue while about 35 feet underwater via free diving. My skin is discolored blue (aka "bluized") due to being so deep down into blue water. I never thought water could be so blue! The waves above are so mesmerizing to look at.

Yeah, it's for real alright. Today, I got to operate the cash register, doing many checkouts. The Pathways are complete as well, as far as I can go that is. For now, all that's left is "work skills 2" for Pathways and mainly just getting used to the process. I got faster over time, but I still need a lot more practice. It'll come with time though.

Quick intro:
I'm a game player, a game designer, a writer, and I have a strong interest in creating videos and doing photography. I'd love to be able to do more, and with enough support, I could do more which means an increase in photos and videos.

Game play:
I'm unusual when it comes to video games. I don't play for the story. I often don't even play in the normal, intended way. I take games to an extreme few bother with which, if the game doesn't force story progress or have very low maximums that are easy to reach, I can go at that game for 1000 hours, easily, if the game play is reasonable.

Game design:
I'm the creator of Platform Masters, a 2D platformer with extreme potential beyond anything ever seen, complete with amazing effects, including parallax scrolling being taken to an extreme never seen before. I do have other projects, such as my 2D RPG I don't have an official name for yet, but I only work on the design documents so I can iron out weak points I encounter.

Videos:
Although I don't watch videos, I create them, about 1 per month. Whether it's game play, updates on Platform Masters, or things captured with my camera, I know a lot about video encoding to optimize space and quality. If I can get a CPU upgrade, I could get videos posted sooner.

Photography:
I'm advanced with photography but not yet professional. I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3. I'm mainly interested in landscapes, scenery, astrophotography, and macrophotography, hence an interest in fast and wide angle lenses. As I get more lenses, I become versatile and could, later on, get freelance photography jobs.

Writing:
Although not very common, I do write books. They are usually styled after motion picture scripts and written as if one was playing an RPG. Outside books, I write game guides (mainly focused on powerleveling), and I write short blog-like articles, for ideas on things.

Other notes and details:
Away from home, I have no Internet access. Thus, if I go on a multiday trip, I may appear to be completely silent. You will be notified of this beforehand on my Facebook. However, what may be a week of silence is more than made up for by a huge surge in new photos and videos.

In brief: I primarily play RPGs and platformers and always on regular console systems. I study game mechanics and see the intricacies behind them for an extra edge. For RPGs, I get the most enjoyment the more overpowered I can get with the least amount of story progress - the story is the least interesting aspect, often very boring. I'm an extreme powerleveler and will go to great lengths in grindfests, spending days, weeks, or even months at the same area. For other games, I usually like to fiddle around, but I still grind when applicable such as going for 99 lives first thing in the game (an annoying limit).

Comments rules: The rules for the comments are pretty much standard issue. For the most part, keep it PG. That is, no swearing or speaking of adult content. A breach of the rules will result in a warning. A second breach will result in a time out. A third breach will result in a ban. A major breach or coming in just to cause trouble or harm, will result in either an immediate time out or an all-out ban.
