- What board caused you to create an account
I don't think a specific board caused me to create an account, but I remember the first one I visited. Super Mario Sunshine for all those red and blue coins. It was only years later that I created an account.
- What are your interests
On Gamefaqs, first it was SSBB, then it was board hunting, then Politics, then Mod accountability
In the outer world, golf, history, and sadly watching my backlog steadily growing until it the day it will ultimately overpower and consume me.
- Fun facts about yourself
Hmm...the standout points in life include a spelling bee, visit to West Point, hiking to the top of Mount Marcy (with both ankles in bad shape at that point) followed by a few weeks of national jamboree immediately after. There's a whole longer story with more details about that, it's basically my scouting lore, and it was one heck of a summer. Broke a personal bug bite record to be sure. Recently I was on a jury at a manslaughter trial.
I am a gaming completionist through and through. The first ordeal was all those endings in Shadow the Hedgehog, but that all looks so small now. It took longer to max out in Soul Calibur II. Maxed everything out in Paper Mario TTYD for some reason. The million match notification in Melee - that took a while, but was mindless. All the trophies in Mario Golf Toadstool Tour was way worse, particularly the birdie challenges with every character. No, I don't know why I did this. But it's over now. Weep not for me, for I have conquered - and lo, not for any gamer score or special achievement. Just the satisfaction of a job well done.
This is the last game that is preventing me from unplugging my Wii. Consider it a cry for help. Does anyone know!?

My favorite game? Zombies Ate My Neighbors. It's in no way a perfect game, especially with that game-ending glitch that can randomly pop up at level 36 and ruin a run. But I just love the thing. It's got some of that attention to detail that Nintendo is typically known for. Like all those times I just ran and ran from the Snakeoids as a kid, only to find after watching Tremors and putting it to the test that yes, they actually won't attack you at all if you aren't moving. So true to the source material, I cry of joy internally.
On Gamefaqs I am one of the few who has held the 8,200th post in a topic (and 82,828th, just to drive it in). A few other Gamespot-era glitch oddities which Devin has removed, despite their harmlessness. Bah! Well, I can't blame him because I'd do the same thing at my job. But there are still some he doesn't know about ;)
Let's see...SSBB board's 3 millionth post...Oh! Ever since the day the karma exchange rate was tied to Gamefaqs T-shirts, I've lost the equivalent of 3 T-shirts. If I was RaptorLC, I'd be so upset!
Finally, no, the 82 is not my birth year. I was in a few sports that I didn't want to be a part of in grade school, and I just needed a random number for a jersey. It has been my "random" number ever since.
- Do you have a message for the CEtizens of GameFAQs?
Mod accountability
I wouldn't consider myself a CE regular. I just stick my head in from time to time to see what mods are doing. #FightThePower CE.
