User:3Dejong

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. Also, please feast your eyes on the new holiday decor, chack out what's happening in my life (yes, I have one), and take the time to read my "12 Days of Nintendo Christmas"! Or even sign up for a Wi-Fi battle with my and my buddies! I try to update my page every day, so keep checking back!

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. Maybe 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 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:

What's happening in my life right now (that pertains to MarioWiki, that is).

I am studying "A Christmas Carol" (yes, that dry old Dickens book-thing) for a report this month, so don't be suprised if I suddenly start quoting strange, outdated expressions. ;) Oh, and be dure to read the Nintendo version here! It's hilarious, and may help you find a better meaning of the old story.

Hurrah! The "12 Days Of Nintendo Christmas" is now a sprite comic! God bless us, every one! I'm so random. It's been divided into three parts, #1, Days 1-5, #2, Days 6-8, and #3, Days 9-12. Plus, there's a special suprise at the end! Get reading!

Groan. I'm stuck at my grandma and grandpa's house, using their stupid Windows 2000 computer. At least they have a Cable connection. But ever try using the old 2000 version of Microsoft Paint to make a sprite comic?! It's torture. Oh, well. I'll be on a good bit today, but since all my pics, notes, project lists, etc. are at MY house, I won't be working on anything special.

The 12 Days of Nintendo Christmas
In an effort to make my Userpage more "Holidayesque", I've made my own sprite comic version of "The 12 Days Of Christmas", Nintendo-Mario style. I bet you saw this coming. I also recommend that before reading this, that you take a look at the original lyrics, shown here. As the comic as a whole is too big to upload onto the Wiki, it has been split in three parts, Part #1, Days 1-5, Part #2, Days 6-8, and Part #3, Days 9-12.c There's a special suprise at the end, revealing just who got all this junk. Happy reading!

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

ALso, this doesn't really belong here, but I now have a scanner! This Christmas, I'm getting the YIDS Player's Guide, so I can add pics to some of the articles for the game! And I'm also getting the Yoshi's Story one, so I can get official art, too!

3D's Wi-Fi Battles!
I, Wayoshi, WarioLoaf, and Parayoshi have gotten together and organized a Wi-Fi battle that will take place some time after Christmas. I would love to have these as a recurring event! If you are interested, here is a schedule, plus current memebers of the next battle. If there turn out to be more then four competitors, we will trade places in the races every so often. Here's the schedule:

Battle Times:
 * First battle: Not yet determined. About a week or so after Christmas.

Compititors:
 * 1) 3D (ME!): Friend Code: (Must Insert)
 * 2) User:WarioLoaf: Friend Code: (Must Insert)
 * 3) Wayoshi: Friend Code: 137500-776536
 * 4) Parayoshi: Friend Code: (Must Insert)
 * 5) Porplemontage: Friend Code:  412402-338122

(Since this battle is currently full, if any more players sign up, we will have to have more than one battle, at least.)

Here, there is a sign-up sheet. There, you can add your name/friend code to the list! PLEASE, DO NOT POST YOUR INFO ON THIS PAGE. I hope to have these up and running soon! When I get the name of a user, plus that user's Friend Code, I will post it here. WarioLoaf and Parayoshi, please put your Friend Code on my page so I can add it here. When my e-mail starts working again, I will promptly move this to the Forum, but for now, it will be posted here. When a battle has been completely arranged, and the big day is here, I will post "RACE IN SESSION" both here and on my Talk Page. A message that the race is starting will be sent to all competitors. Any competitors can then enter the Friend Codes of fellow players into their Nintendo DSes, log on to Wi-Fi Connection, select Friend Battle, and the race begins!

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

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.

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.
