Hello there!

I'm Manfred von Karma, but you can refer to me as Manfred. You might remember me from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Yes; I am dead, but when's that ever stopped anyone?

I'm a Wikipedian that specialises in knowledge about video games, but sometimes I dabble in other things. You might be able to find me lurking around good video game article (GA) reviews, or vandalism-targeted video game articles. I also regularly update a lot of the things on the Nintendo portal, like the news and upcoming/newly released games sections.

Despite the whole 'murdering my pupil's father because he defeated me in the courtroom' thing, I'm a very approachable person. If you're a new user and need some help, have a dispute requiring resolution, require a peer review of an article, or simply just a good ol' guilty verdict, put a request on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as it's possible to me.

I'm active on weekends and am partially active on weekdays. I will usually reply to responses as soon as made possible to me but any other kind of request should be kept on weekends. Thanks! This page is best viewed on a computer and in full stereo. If you're on mobile, you should request the desktop version of the Wikipedia through your browser.

My favourite games

I find you can get to know a person by asking them what their favourite game is. For example, if they say they like "the Mario one", they've probably never touched a video game before in their life. Or, if they say they like Sonic '06, run away and don't come within a 5km radius of them ever again.

The subject of "favourite game" often gets confused with "best game". A favourite game is a game the player really enjoyed. What would be considered the "best" game would be a game where every single element of the game is masterful. Yet, that doesn't mean it could be someone's favourite game just because it's a fundamentally great game; a "best game" must be something that the player fully, whole-heartedly loved. Here's a list of my favourite games:

• Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter
• Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland
• Katamari Forever
• Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
• Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
• Papers, Please
• Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
• Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
• Terraria
• Tetris

The first game I ever played was Cooking Mama on the Nintendo DS. It holds a very special place in my heart.

My favourite quotes

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

— Albert Einstein

You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?

— Happy Mask Salesman

Above all, video games are meant to just be one thing: fun for everyone.

On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer.

— Satoru Iwata

Just make stuff. Make it from the heart. Don't do it for the money, don't do it for the fame, don't do it because it's going to be popular. Do it because it makes you laugh and it makes you happy. That's the only thing you can do.

— Jon Jafari

What if your entire body was made of ballsack material?
