I may remain an anonymous user for security reasons, but I go by the nickname Element Knight 375. I only started seriously contributing to Game Ideas Wiki this December, but I have been pretty well accepted by the executive contributors, all of whom have been working hard on the wiki for over a year. My first ever page was Super Mario Heroes, a concept of a standard modern Super Mario game (with side-scrolling format), but with customized players and new power-ups (but I didn't detail these in the article yet). However, it was my second page, Element Chronicles, where the buzz started. Once I had essentially finished, Geniusguy445, one of the executive contributors, said that although I was an "unknown contributor," I had talent. I thanked him for his comment and he asked if I could make the realtionship between the wiki and myself more solid by creating an account and joining.

Much to his protests, I didn't feel comfortable joining, but he accepted it without really trying to convince me too much. He only requested that I at least give him a nickname by which he could refer to me. I accepted and gave the name "Element Knight 375," and we left on excellent terms I continued my work and was soon positively commented on by the other execs, such as Ouroburos, SaurianJared and Beecanoe. A few days after I gave my nickname, Ouro and Geniusguy gave me permission to establish my own Forum where people visiting could answer daily questions by editing the page and giving a nickname. So far, the executives have responded enthusiastically to most of my questions, and the Forum is looking good.

Gaming
I've been gaming since a very young age, and got my start in Oddworld and Super Mario World, despite not being very talented. As I've gotten older, however, my collection of games built up and my skills greatly increased. Nowadays, I have an immediate prowess for practically every game, but I prefer to be armed with a game manual going in, no matter how sissy that makes me sound : ).

Preferences
One thing I'm not a big fan of is assault rifle and warring games, like Halo, Gears of War, or Modern Warfare. However, I've always been a fan of Nintendo. I currently have Mario Kart Wii, Mario Sports Mix, Super Mario Galaxy, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. I've also been a big fan of the Zelda series ever since I rented it some years ago, and Link is probably my favorite video game character of all time, with Mario in close second.

Another thing I've always loved is Star Wars, ever since I was very, very little. I even dressed as young Obi-Wan for Halloween when I was about four. My Star Wars titles include Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars Battlefront, Star Wars Battlefront II, and Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. I also had Star Wars: The Force Unleashed at one point, but my lack of interest caused me to return it.

One frachise I'm a definite master at is The Lord of the Rings series. I have The Two Towers and Return of the King, and we've finished them both.

On RPGs
I've never been a significant fan of RPGs, but that's my opinion mainly with the open-ended ones. I never know where to go next, and the beginning always, always stink. I once got Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and I hated it so much on the first day (no MANUAL, that's why), that I never played it again and returned it.

The only RPG I've even actually enjoyed is The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, but that's only when my sister played it with me. Somehow she always knew what to do with it.

Consoles and experience with them
I was blessed to have a Nintendo 64, SNES, and PlayStation in my house growing up. My dad and I would actually play 007 Goldeneye together, and I would work the trigger (ah, memories, look at me), and we would always play Oddworld and Super Mario All-Stars. For one of my younger birthdays, I also got a Game Boy Advance along with Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Brothers. I enjoyed the latter immensely, but I lost the Game Boy and never found it. Soon, the PlayStation went away (it didn't break), but before then I got my first real console: the PlayStation 2, and its backwards compatilibility let me keep the old PlayStation games. I have a long, great relationship with the PS2 to this day, when it still holds strong.

Through the influence of my sister, I came to want an XBox severely, and soon got that as well as Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I got some of my best games for the Xbox, including all my Star Wars titles and my two best Oddworlds.

A similar influence led me to the Wii, my favorite one ever. My grandmother one day saw it in a store window and decided to get one because they are physcially healthy to play with, and it would be lots of fun for the extended family. My dad and I helped her hook it up, and later that day I became officially in love with Wii Sports. For my 11th or 12th birthday (I somehow forget), I got a Wii of my own and eventually got all my best Mario games, as well as a healthy love for Zelda

I've also played a Nintendo Gamecube thanks to one of my friends, but never actually got one.

To recap, I now have a Wii, Playstation 2, XBox, SNES, and Nintendo 64, all of which continue to work almost perfectly.
