Hi!, and thanks for taking the time to read my page! I am an EXTREME Mario and Nintendo fan (I live, eat, breathe and sleep them), so this website is the perfect way to vent my knowledge! One thing you should know: I. HATE. SONY. AND. MICROSOFT. Actually, Crash and Spyro are really fun, innovotive titles to me, and Sony creates great games (the PSP is pretty cool, like a gaming PDA) but what totally ticks me off is the fact that Sony pretty much passes their system off as an "entertainment system". Sheeesh. Like, Playstation is a GAMING CONSOLE! Sure, snappping a rented DVD onto your PS2 is great and convienient, but still, if you want good DVD backup, go bur a DVD/VHS system. With Microsoft, well, that's another story altogether. I won't beat up on Halo, I've seen screenshots of it (beuatiful graphics) and I've heard it has a great, engaging storyline, so well, okay, I'll say it, Halo's pretty cool! The thing about it, though, is that it's, like, Xbox's only first-party game! Any others I have yet to see. Xbox has cool, intuitive, classic controls and lush graphics, but that's not all that a game is. Plus, Xbox 360 is like an "improved" version of Xbox. Bleah. With Nintendo, every system that comes out is an OBVIOUS improvement on the proir. Don't see any of that happening with Playstation or Microsoft. But whatever, maybe I'm being too critical. Matbe Xbox IS a cool platform (if you like adult-ish games). Maybe built-in DVD support for the Playstation IS a big plus. Whatever. I'm a Nintendo person. But don't let that keep you away from me! If you think I'm being really, really unjust drop me a line on my Talk Page! (that little tab that says "Discussion.)

Okay, that being said, let's get into ME! I REALLY enjoy ANY Mario or Nintendo game (except Resident Evil), but I don't care WHAT platform a game is for, as long as it's fun! I'm saving like crazy and counting the days until the Wii comes out! Mario Galaxy ROCKS! I also enjoy laughing with any humorous book or comic strip (Calvin and Hobbes, Dog eat Doug, Foxtrot, and Space is the Place are just a few of my favorites.) I can beat ANY Mario game to pieces in at most, a month, and no games can last more then five weeks around me (I completed Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island 100%, all secrets, all red coins, all flowers, EVERY Dragon Coin. Also, I completed New Super Mario Bros. 100% in two days. Really. Honestly.). My first exposure to Mario came when I played Super Mario Bros: Classic NES Series on a friend's GBA SP. For years I had known, vaugley, that Nintendo, Sega, and Playstation were video game makers, and that Mario was a famous gaming icon. One of my cousins had gotten ahold of a new SP with Pac-Man Collection and Piglet's Big Game, and I spent many happy hours playing both. But Super Mario Bros. exposed me forever to the bright, sidescrolling world of Mario and friends, never to leave. Not long ago, (two months ago, June 2006, it was, I believe) when I finally got to begin a gaming life (for the second time, actually) with a DS Lite. Wooohooo! I'm currently re-building my gaming library, but I own Mario Advance 1, 2, 3, Mario Kart DS, Tetris DS, Star Fox Command, New Super Mario Bros. (It's GREAT!) Nintendogs, Star Fox Command, and DK: King of Swing, along with a ton of new NES games.

NES GAMES!
I recently got a ton of vintage NES games, (including nearly ALL the Mario games for that platform) so if you have any questions about some of the old games, ask!

Online Stats
Here is a schuduele of how much I'm usually on-line: Monday: 7:15-8:20, 11:30-5:30 (I get home at 11:30 at get on for 15 minutes, do my work, then get on again for about 3-4 hours). Tuesday: About 4-5 hours, patchy. Wednesday: Same as Monday. Thursday: Same as Tuesday. Friday: Same as Monday, but I spend 5-6 hours on the Web in the afternoon. Saturday: 8-9 hours, all day. Sunday: Patchy, maybe 2-3 hours, maybe 4:00-7:00.

User Goals
Wanna pry into my private life and see a few of my personal goals? Here they are!


 * Ummmm.. TO ADD USER GOALS!
 * To own EVERY Mario game for SNES, N64, and GCN (I already have nearly every NES Mario game except NES Golf and 3/1 Mario Bros.!)
 * To make a COMPLETE, DETAILED storyline for Super Mario Adventures
 * To upload all the Merchandise pics I have
 * To give all RPG items pics and detailed info
 * Work hard on the Wario series

Kwickies
Here's a kwick peek into my faves:


 * Website: MARIOWIKI!
 * Color: Bright, blaring orange
 * Food: Pizza
 * Liquid: Graveyard (You're prolably wondering WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?! It's just a little name me and my friend came up for for that delicious drink that you get when you mix up ALL the liquids on the soda bar (yes, EVEN water, iced tea, and a little coffee) and gulp it down. Honest. It's good. And yes, Sprite loses some of its flavor when paired with coffee, but I don't mind.)
 * Movie: Over the Hedge. Read the comic?
 * Comic Strip: Hmmm.. I'd have to say.. SPACE IS THE PLACE!

Keep Gaming, 3dejong (This site ROCKS!)

Oh, and by the way, my name has a silent j, so 3dejong is pronounced 3de-yong. Most people pronounce it 3de-J-ong. Weird name, huh? You can just call me 3D. I'm part dutch, and I live in Sunny (part time) California.
