User:Stumpers

Hello, everyone. Stumpers here. I've been a fan of the Super Mario Bros. series since I got Mario Party for the N64. From there I went on to get Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Mario Tennis, and Yoshi's Story, to name a few.

My favorite Mario game is probably Mario Tennis, Yoshi's Story, Paper Mario, or any of the Mario RPGs or Mario Karts I've played (all but the SNES ones). Not very specific, is it? It's hard to just pick one, isn't it? ;)

I've been a fan of Rareware from when I first played Diddy Kong Racing to when they left Nintendo. It's too much money to get both a GameCube and a Xbox. Besides, what would I get? All they came out with was this game called Grabbed by the Goolies. I've never been a first person shooter fan, so Halo, the best reason to own an Xbox, many would argue, would be out of the question.

After getting ticked off because Mario pages were getting consolidated on Wikipedia, I stumbled across Super Mario Wiki, and all became clear.

My hobbies include running (not competitively), art (or cartooning :D), flash animation (just started :D), and of course video games. Sometimes I get a book or two that I actually like, but that's pretty rare. English class ruined reading for fun for me. Some of my faves off hand: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter (numbers 1-3. wouldn't recomend 4-6), many of Daniel Pinkwater's novels, and Watership Down.

For those wondering why I call myself Stumpers, it's not because I'm so weird that I'm a "stumper" to figure out. Stumpers is a game series of mine, based on puzzles or RPG-style gameplay. The main character's name was Stumper. How clever. The name Stumpers came about because of a typo on my part that I realized too late. I figured, "what the heck" and went with it, though. They were made on PowerPoint, and it looks like the last game will be flash (RPGs are really tough!). Perhaps in the future I will put one or two of them up online. I was worried about copywrites until I learned that, apparently, everything you create is automatic copywrite, unless you made it at work and there is some sort of company policy for that kind of thing. Then the company might own it! >_<
