About me

I like, well, games, preferably older video or computer games. I do not own a current-generation game console, but would not mind an Xbox 360 (I want to play Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved and see it for myself), and I do have a PC. I also like Lindsay Lohan and many other redheads. (My icon here is from an image on a (currently NSFW) site of mine, Lindsay wants it BAD.)

Votes and viewing habits

I try to give votes from 1 star.gif to 5 stars.gif and amounts in between.

I usually like to check Up and Coming sites, but if I give too many 4 stars.gif and 5 stars.gif votes I'll check random sites to find awful ones.

If people 1 star.gif a site because its maker used Internet Explorer or didn't use Firefox, it gets 5 stars.gif from me. If someone makes a site advertising Firefox, it gets 1 star.gif. When Spread Firefox and hundreds of other sites are already pushing it, and the quality of the browser speaks for itself, further shilling is annoying and counterproductive.

I strongly prefer strict ("classic" style) sites.

Otherwise, I try to take MasterSitsu's advice to Polizei and judge a site on merits.

Comments

I like verticons like o_0, like Asgard01 does, but I use them far less in my comments.

Sometimes I like to type an elongated "sweet" (e.g., "sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet").

My "This just killed NEDM" comment on reggie-wanker's Taking of Pelham gave rise to his follow-up, OMG They Killed-.

One of my comments here led to the use of Lavos' Theme in "holy crap, a meteor!" and its derivatives.

Fads

I prefer to stay away from fad-based sites and make strict-style ones, but I may make one at times if, for instance, I like the music, premise, or character involved (Secret Islamic Sailor Jupiter, for example, for the cute girl and cool music). I also despise fad sites that ignore core aspects of their respective fad (including many "Epic Maneuver"-type sites).

If I had to choose one alternate universe, it would probably be YesYes, because I have seen some smart sites made for that.

  • moheevi, one of my favorite YTMNDers. Some structural portions of this page are lifted mercilessly from his (i.e. thanks moheevi).
  • State-of-mind is on a roll these days.
  • Adverb, a hated but (I think) somewhat-well-meaning YTMNDer.
  • Asgard01, who uses verticons a lot.
