==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.). |
|||
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 agruing 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]]. |
|||
For now I am focussing on starting articles instead of completing them, although I will take the time to improve articles from time to time. |
|||
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 video games, comic and animation fan (no Janapese [[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. |
|||
In respect to video games, I have written many papers on the subject, mainly it's relation to popular culture and am a major proponent of the idea of 'video game as art'. Despite my apparent affinty towards [[Nintendo]] creations, I tend to favour franshises owned by [[Konami]] as I feel such titles as [[Silent Hill (video game)|Silent Hill]] and [[Metal Gear Solid]] are two of the most, to use a term used by the United States' [[Library of Congress]], '[[culturally significant]]' games to date. I am currently investigating the [[Castlevania]] series, but early reports are grim. I am really interested in the video game anomolies, such as the failed [[Virtual Boy]] and [[Game.com]] consoles\handhelds, the currently successful [[Nintendo DS]], and the soon to be released [[Nintendo Wii]]. |
|||
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. |
