Hi there!, fellow gamers, and thanks for taking the time to read my page! Read on to discover more about me, and remember, have fun! You can copy any pictures and/or userboxes here.

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 buy 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 (beautiful 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" on the top of the page.) 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.

Wanna see how I did on Super Mario Bros. HQ's Purity Test? Here's my results:

132 points out of 253: Obssesed: Mario is a religion to me!

Current newest game(s)
Yoshi's Island DS! I got it! So, be on the lookout for walkthroughs, coming soon!

Online Stats
Here is a schudule of how much I'm usually on-line. However, I am currently not online nearly as much as I would want to be, so this is if everything goes well. Usually, I'm on about two hours a weekday, six-seven hours on Saturday, and maybe one or two hours on Sunday. Anyhow, if you want to know my schedule for a good week, here you go! 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!

Kwickies
Here's a kwick peek into my faves:


 * Website: MARIOWIKI!
 * Color: Bright, blaring orange
 * Food: Pizza
 * Dessert: Orange Creme, Double Fudge Brownie and Mint Cookie Chunk ice cream sundae with hot fudge, whipped cream, and caramel sauce
 * 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: Space is the Place
 * Sprite Comic: Tie. The Red Coin Saloon, and Neglected Nintendo Characters (NC Comix).

Pet Peeves
We all have things that tick us off. Some of mine:


 * Mario fanfiction
 * The word "soggy"
 * Big Red gum (or any cinnamon candy)
 * Old Atari systems
 * Mario rip-offs
 * Level 5-9 of Super Mario Bros. 3
 * HOW LONG A TIME 'TILL APRIL 4TH, MY BIRTHDAY, WHEN I WILL GET A WII!
 * Microsoft
 * Edutainment games
 * Headaches
 * Zonealarm Pro
 * Sore Throats
 * Squash (except pumpkin pie)
 * Anyone who thinks Mario is an idoit, or Luigi is a weirdo

Bios
OK, as said above, I do not like it when people make Mario a toddler-minded imbicile, and Luigi as an evil weirdo. Sooo, I'm going to make biographies, in MY way, of the Marioverse characters. Here we go! Hope you like 'em! Also, these are 100% fiction. I DO NOT believe that these characters exist in the "Real World". Nevertheless, it's fun to make up theories.

Mario Mario
Mario, the now world-famous Italian plumber! My thoery of his orgin goes like this:

The Mario Bros. started out as simple Mushroom Landers (and as humans, more on that later) being carried to their parents by the Stork. But trouble was brewing far, far away, in the Koopa Kingdom... [Kamek, the evil head of the Magikoopas and second of this kingdom, was scheming. For long, this land had been without a leader. Now, a young aristocrat Koopa, Bowser, had become Prince. As he was still a minor, Kamek ruled for him, and trained him in the lying cheating sneaking lowdown ratsy Koopa ways. Now, the reptile wizard was searching for clues to the future, looking forward in time. "I need an Koopa Cola." he grumbled in a trance, seeing visons of things yet to happedn. "The vison is too fuzzy!" But suddenly, his eyes bugged out. "AAAAAAAAACK!" (direct quote) he cried. "THIS IS HORRIBLE! King Bowser will be trounced by these creatures? NEVER!" As Kamek had no idea who "Humans" were, he set about to learn something about them, eventually finding some very interesting things. For starters, there are two parts to the universe that he lived in. There is a universe, the "Real Universe", that is home to a small sphere called Earth. On this live strange creatures, called Humans, that have also stumbled into his world. They then setteled in, and started to make their own culture among the inhabitants of that world, while the others made a life on Earth.

"Hmmmm.. Interesting. But why don't WE see these... "Humans"? Are we not the only kingdom in this world?"

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.
