User:Stumpers

Hello, (your name here)! Stumpers here! I've been around the brighter sides of the Internet and I'll tell you, this looks like the biggest time consuming site I've found yet! World of Warcraft?! What's that?! I'm into the WIKI! Anyway, I'm a perfectionist by nature, and few things are more perfection-able than a Mario-related Wiki page. Be forewarned, kiddies... this place will not look the same when I'm done with it!

Backstory
One dark, stormy night at the swamp... a fierce wind blew. The wind pushed up the swamp slop onto a giant rock, and it seemed to form into a human figure *snigger*. And then... *ha, ha* it turned in to STUMPERS! *WHOOO! HA, HA! SNORT! ROFL*

No, seriously... I've been playing video games since I was a meer lad of somewhere around seven years of age. Having an older brother gave me the distinct advantage of never having wanted a videogame system before one was plopped down on the living room table and hooked up to an eight inch TV. My brother and I loved our Sega Genesis, and we never let go! Well, actually... then came the Nintendo 64, and we were all like, "Sega? What's that?" As my brother grew away from video games, I grew closer. And it wasn't long until the N64 told us it was *snigger* PREGNANT! *ROFL* Yeah... that didn't happen.

I loved to write for Wikipedia. However, when they started putting all of the Mario articles into several really big ones, I was through. Then I found MarioWiki, and things started all over again.

Do you know me on the Internet? Here are some of my aliases:

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 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! >_<
