'Sup people? This is pretty much the first time I've created a user page for like anything, so let me know what you think! :D

Game Systems I Have

 * Nintendo 64 - After playing the Wii, the graphics don't seem that good, but still, a very good game system!
 * Nintendo Gamecube - I love the sound effects it makes when you first turn it on, that's the best! :)
 * Nintendo Wii - By far my favorite Nintendo game system thus far, I probably have like 60 games for it, see below for an exact list...
 * Nintendo DS - Double Screen? Good enough for me!
 * Gameboy - Who doesn't love handheld things that you can play? :)
 * Gameboy Color - Much better than the Gameboy in my opinion, because you can actually see what's on the screen!
 * Game Boy Advance SP - Easily the best handheld game system I have, aside from the Nintendo DS, of course!

Wii Channels I Have

 * Disc Channel - Okay, yeah, anyone who owns a Wii has this channel, but still... :D
 * Mii Channel - I love using Miis in Mario Kart Wii and Wii Sports!
 * Photo Channel - Why view pics on your camera when you could do it on your Wii instead? :)
 * Wii Shop Channel - Who doesn't like buyin' stuff on the Wii?!
 * Forecast Channel - Not the most exciting channel, but it does prevent you from getting caught in a freak snowstorm!
 * News Channel - I don't really watch the news...or at least I didn't, 'til I got this channel! :)
 * Nintendo Channel - I love Nintendo and I love this channel!
 * Check Mii Out Channel - I've probably downloaded every Mii known to man from this channel!
 * Wii Fit Channel - Finally, something you can watch that makes you thinner, not the other way around!
 * Internet Channel - Cool! Now I don't have to go upstairs and use my computer anymore!
 * Mario Kart Wii Channel - I pretty much just installed this so I wouldn't have to put the game disc in to check my race times...yeah, I'm lazy! :)
 * Wii Speak Channel - Who needs to use a phone when you can just talk to people using your Wii?
 * Wii Fit Plus Channel - Hmmm...isn't it weird how the "plus" at the end just completely changes the meaning...?
 * Netflix Channel - Just got this the other day and it's awesome! I never get tired of watching movies on my Wii! :)

So, how did I get here, you ask? :)
OK, so technically, you didn't really ask, but I'm gonna tell you anyway! Actually, it's kind of a funny story (wait, wasn't that the name of a movie that just came out...?), anyway, one day I was in need of some Mario-related information, so naturally I Googled "Cataquack", which just happened to be what I was looking up. To make a long story short, guess where I eventually ended up? That's right! Right here on the Super Mario Wiki! Of course, at that point, I had no idea what that even was, but I checked out a few articles after Cataquack (which was the first page I ever viewed on the Super mario Wiki), and noticed a few errors on some of them. So, I created an account, logged in, and fixed 'em. When I started to learn what it was about, I kept editing stuff for a while. Of course, it took me a while to learn the codes and everything, but I think it's safe to say I'm a pretty fast learner! Eventually, I got enough edits, and after a week, I became autoconfirmed, and the rest is history! Ever since then, I've been on here pretty much every day of my waking existence, just editing here and there, creating an article or two every now and then...but anyway, view more details of my past exploits below!

A Little Note About My Wiki-related Activities...
Okay, so if you actually made it down this far, you've probably read quite a lot already, so I'll try not to write too much more (no promises though!)...anyway, personally, I think I'm a little bit better when it comes to designing graphs and/or lists of things than anything else (hence my penchant for Sporcle.com, another website that I think is completely awesome!) and have done so on a few pages that I noticed didn't already have them (namely: Cosmic Spirit, Red Coin, Shadow Mario, Delfino Plaza, Hungry Luma, Star Chip, Grand Star, Silver Star, and Flipswitch). I have also edited a few pages here and there, mostly just where I noticed there were any major errors (some better than others obviously; I apologize for my many mistakes). At the risk of sounding extremely conceited, I am also a self-proclaimed expert on all things 3D Mario (Super Mario 64 - Super Mario Galaxy 2), taking second only to the Banjo-Kazooie series, which I have spent probably half of my life playing, and know pretty much everything in it like the back of my hand.
