==What I do here== |
|||
You will find me editing a lot of articles to do with video games. This is one of my greatest passions and is one thing I know much about. Animated shows\films (mostly North American and European) are my secondary passion, followed by every other form of 'art' (painting, sculpture, film, etc.), and related terms. |
|||
My first edits to this page were to do with the [[Silent Hill]] and [[Silent Hill (video game)]] section. Since then I have branched out to my other interests. You will often find me arguing over minute details with people who merely delete things instead of making them more accurate. I am quick to use the word ''[[prick]]'' to describe these people on talk pages, as well as not shying away from the use of [[sarcasm]]. |
|||
Feel free to discuss some of my actions with my on my talk page. I don't mind discussing things. |
|||
==On the topic of me== |
|||
I'm a guy from Ottawa, ON who is a rather big fan of video games, comics and animation (not Japanese [[anime]] though). |
|||
I myself am an [[animator]] and [[comic book artist]] and am currently working on a short [[stop motion]] film and two comic books. |
|||
I am a fan [[surrealism]] and [[expressionism]] and, as such, am partial to such names as [[Sam Kieth]] (of [[The Maxx]], [[Four Women]]), [[John Kricfalusi]] (of [[Ren & Stimpy]], [[The Ripping Friends]]), [[Jhonen Vasquez]] ([[Invader Zim]], [[I Feel Sick]]), [[Salvador Dalí]] (works are too numerous and well known to recount), [[Man Ray]] (same as Dalí), [[Edvard Munch]] (pronounced 'monk', creator of [[The Scream]]), [[Matthew Barney]] ([[The Cremaster Cycle]]), [[David Cronenberg]] ([[eXistenZ]], [[Videodrome]]), [[Don Hertzfeldt]] ([[Rejected]], [[The Animation Show]]), [[Mike Judge]] ([[King of the Hill]], ''Milton'' series), [[David Lynch]] ([[Eraserhead]], [[Lost Highway]]), among others. |
|||
My musical tastes are a tad more varied. I'm currently obsessed with the hard-to-describe geek-pop band [[They Might Be Giants]] although I listen to everything from [[Punk|Punk Rawk]] to the inaccurately named '[[Classical music]]'. My current interests include, but are not limited to, [[Igor Stravinsky]] ([[The Firebird|L'oiseau de feu]], [[The Rite of Spring|Danses des adolescentes]]. etc.), [[Akira Yamaoka]], [[Arnold Schoenberg]], [[Danny Elfman]], [[Phillip Glass]] ([[Einstein on the Beach]]), [[Nine Inch Nails]], [[Sevendust]], [[Buck 65]], [[NOFX]], [[MxPx]], [[Sublime (band)|Sublime]], [[Voodoo Glow Skulls]], [[Queens of the Stone Age]], [[311 (band)|311]], [[Dream Theater]], [[Everclear]], [[Dick Dale]], and even interestingly enough [[Harry and the Potters]]... the list goes on. I play the [[Electric Bass|bass]], [[trumpet]]\[[cornet]], and am a [[vocalist]] and amateur composer. |
|||
In respect to video games, I have written many papers on the subject, mainly its relation to popular culture and am a major proponent of the idea of 'video game as art'. Despite my apparent affinity towards [[Nintendo]] creations, I tend to favour franchises owned by [[Konami]] as I feel such titles as [[Silent Hill (video game)|Silent Hill]] and [[Metal Gear Solid]] are, to me, two of the most, to use a term used by the United States' [[Library of Congress]], '[[culturally significant]]' game franchises to date. I am currently investigating the [[Castlevania]] series, but early reports are grim. I am really interested in the video game anomalies, such as the failed [[Virtual Boy]] and [[Game.com]] consoles\handhelds, the currently successful [[Nintendo DS]], and the now released [[Wii]]. |
|||
Despite my varied artistic influences I have a general interest in [[science]], namely [[astronomy]], [[chemistry]] and [[anthropology]]. |
|||
I recently graduated from university with a general Arts degree and have no idea what to do with it. If anyone has any use for an artistic theorist who draws, writes, and\or plays bass, let me know. |
|||
== Pet Peeves on Wikipedia == |
|||
*'''[[Ethnocentrism|US-Centricism]]''': This seems to be a common occurrence on wikipedia. English users from the [[United States]] are constantly ignorant of alternative spellings, and sometimes, other English speaking countries. I'm usually found changing 'The US' to '[[North America]]' or 'US and Canada' as the situation merits. |
|||
*'''[[Vandalism]]''': See my [[User_talk:Thaddius#Some_loving_edits_from_a_random_user|talk page]]. |
|||
*'''Tagged on points''': An example is when an article has a sentence saying, lets say, "The Earth is flat" and someone comes along and, instead of correcting the line, adds a sentence onto the end like, "However, most people tend not to agree with the previous statement." Just rewrite the damn thing! |
