What? Someone's actually reading my page? Holy shit.

Anyway...

I'm Lordnecronus, and this is my [[strike:ego-stroking exercise]] user page. I'm a [[LandOfMyFathersAndTheirSheep Welsh]] troper, and I'm apparently known around these parts for my significant interest in Music/HeavyMetal, though I'm also interested in movies, video games, and other forms of music.

!!Self-appointed trope list:

* BerserkButton -- Genre wars, nihilists (specifically the pretentious ones), people who think metal is just noise, people who confuse their opinion for fact, bigotry, lots of other miniscule things.
* BrilliantButLazy -- I'm so lazy that I stayed in bed on the day of my exams, missed them, failed school, and ended up in a homeless shelter that serves incredibly bland soup for every meal. But I'm still, like, brilliant and stuff.
* CharacterDevelopment - I went from being a whiny bitch to being a lot more laid-back.
* DeadpanSnarker -- Because ''everyone'' identifies as a DeadpanSnarker.
* EverythingsCuterWithKittens -- And how!
* HighOctaneNightmareFuel -- Apparently, my first avatar, Smile Dog (the picture on this page, without the [[NightmareRetardant text]]).
* {{Hypocrite}} -- Like any good internet citizen, I find humour in people taking things [[SeriousBusiness too seriously]] despite frequently doing such myself.
** There was also the time when I supported the removal of Brokencyde from the [[Horrible/{{Music}} horrible music page]] while having written the page for crunkcore (their genre) to be [[{{Understatement}} overly negative]]. And I reverted the edits that made the crunkcore page more neutral.
* InformedAttribute - Anything I say about myself, including the idea that my attributes are informed.
* LiteralMinded
* TheMcCoy
* OldShame -- The {{Crunkcore}} page, which was also the first page I started on TV Tropes.
* SadClown
* SelfDeprecation -- Frequently. ''Too'' frequently.
* SmallNameBigEgo -- I'm fully aware of this, though.
* TheStoic

I'm Lordnecronus, and this is my [[strike:ego-stroking exercise]] user page. I'm a [[UsefulNotes/{{Wales}} Welsh]] troper, and I'm apparently known around these parts for my significant interest in Music/HeavyMetal, though I'm also interested in movies, video games, and other forms of music.

[[caption-width:134:He only wanted to make you happy. And you made him cry! You [[CompleteMonster monster]]!]]

Lordnecronus is a rather young British leftist-socialist-libertarian-thing with massive interest in movies, video games and music. On the movie front, Lordnecronus is fairly eclectic although he is known to enjoy horror, sci-fi, comedy and fantasy the most. On the video game front, Lordnecronus is a fan of {{RPG}}s and shooters. And on the music front, Lordnecronus particularly enjoys Music/HeavyMetal (while trying, possibly unsuccessfully, to avoid the FanDumb like the plague), but likes quite a few other genres as well.

----
Some of the shit he likes:

* ''Dr. Strangelove'' (no, the rest of the title will not be typed up)

* Specific films aside, his favourite genres of film are horror, comedy and sci-fi.

Lordnecronus is disappointed with the fact that he doesn't read much fiction.

* StarTrek - Most shows, excluding ''[[SoOKItsAverage Enterprise]]''; his favourite of the lot is DeepSpaceNine.
* BuffyTheVampireSlayer
* {{Angel}}
* DoctorWho
* RedDwarf
* {{Supernatural}}, although he tries to avoid the fanbase due to its [[FanDumb inf]][[DieForOurShip amous]] [[SiblingIncest reput]][[UnpleasableFanbase ation]].
* SouthPark, though he got bored with it after it became a right-libertarian AuthorTract. Still, the early stuff is good.

Lordnecronus likes a lot of music, so he had to limit it to these artists. And there are ''still'' too many. Mostly metal, with the occasional artist from another genre popping their head in.
* AcidBath
* AliceInChains [[hottip:*:He's also a (formerly massive) fan of {{Nirvana}}, as well as a somewhat more casual fan of {{Soundgarden}} and PearlJam, but Alice in Chains eventually became his favourite {{grunge}} band.]]
* {{Anathema}}
* AtTheGates
* {{Bal-Sagoth}}
* BetweenTheBuriedAndMe
* BlackSabbath
* {{Candlemass}}
* {{Carcass}} [[hottip:*:He mainly listens to the latter three, non-grindcore albums. That said, their grindcore material is among the best in the genre in his opinion.]]
* ChildrenOfBodom [[hottip:*:He mostly listens to the first four albums. He thinks that ''Are You Dead Yet?'' was [[SoOKItsAverage OK]], but that ''Blooddrunk'' [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks kind-of sucked]].]]
* Music/{{Crowbar}}
* TheCure
* DarkTranquillity
* Music/{{Death}} [[hottip:*:Probably his all-time favourite band, alongside Tool.]]
* {{Deftones}} [[hottip:*:See the hottip by Disturbed.]]
* {{Disturbed}} [[hottip:*:In order to save what remains of his metal cred, he has to note that he's not big on nu-metal at all, and that he thinks most of it is fairly crap. [[IfItsYouItsOkay Disturbed, though]]...]]
* DreamTheater
* BobDylan
* EarthCrisis
* ElectricWizard
* FaithNoMore [[hottip:*:And with that, he thinks Mr. Bungle, Fantomas and Tomahawk are great too.]]
* FearFactory
* {{Funeral}} [[hottip:*:He doesn't have any physical releases from them (yet), so he doesn't consider himself a true fan. Nevertheless, he views them as a magnificent, and criminally underrated, band.]]
* {{Godflesh}}
* Music/{{Gojira}}
* {{Gorefest}}
* {{HammerFall}}
* {{Helloween}} [[hottip:*:Mainly their early stuff.]]
* {{Immortal}} [[hottip:*:He's not big on black metal, but believes that Immortal are awesome. He actually used to hate them, but they eventually grew on him.]]
* JudasPriest
* {{Kamelot}} [[hottip:*:For some reason, he actually kind-of likes their early stuff, but agrees that their material with Roy Khan blows it out of the water.]]
* {{Kreator}} [[hottip:*:He prefers their later stuff, which is apparently the reverse of most other Kreator fans.]]
* {{Kyuss}}
* LambOfGod
* MercyfulFate [[hottip:*:Mainly ''Melissa'' and ''Don't Break the Oath''; he feels that, while the rest of the discography is good, the band never surpassed those two albums.]]
* {{Ministry}}
* MyDyingBride
* {{Nightwish}}
* {{Nile}}
* {{Obituary}}
* {{Opeth}}
* Music/ParadiseLost
* TheProdigy
* PublicEnemy
* {{Queen}}
* {{Radiohead}}
* RageAgainstTheMachine
* {{Rammstein}}
* {{Slayer}} [[hottip:*:He often veers between loving them and thinking they're dreadfully overrated. Occasionally, he thinks both.]]
* {{Sodom}} [[hottip:*:Sodom > Kreator, because he likes the bulk of Sodom's discography while with Kreator he's only a big fan of their later stuff.]]
* StrappingYoungLad
* {{Suffocation}} [[hottip:*:He thinks that most brutal death metal sucks, but likes Suffocation a lot.]]
* SwallowTheSun
* SystemOfADown
* {{Testament}}
* TheatreOfTragedy [[hottip:*:He thinks their first three albums are amazing; he likes the stuff they did afterwards, but feels that it's not as good.]]
* {{Tiamat}}
* {{Tool}} [[hottip:*:Probably his all-time favourite band, alongside Death. He thinks the FanDumb is terrible, though.]]
* {{Tristania}}
* TypeONegative
* WeirdAlYankovic

* ''MassEffect''. Both games.
* Anything from the FinalFantasy series, particularly FinalFantasyX.
* ''Left4Dead'' - once again, both games.
* ''DeadRising''
* ''MortalKombat'' series.
* ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' series.

Lordnecronus displays the following trope examples:

* BerserkButton -- Genre wars, self-diagnosed Asperger Syndrome, nihilists (just the pretentious ones), people who think DeathMetal is just noise, people who confuse their opinion for fact, racists... you know what? Practically anything can set him off. He's a bit unpredictable like that.
* CloudCuckooLander -- To a degree.
* DeadpanSnarker -- Oh, come on, what were you expecting? ''Everyone'' identifies as a DeadpanSnarker.
* DirtyCoward

* GannonBanned -- It's "Lordnecronus", not "Lord Necronus".
* HeelFaceTurn -- From being a complete spaz to being... slightly less of a spaz.
* HighOctaneNightmareFuel -- Apparently, his first avatar, Smile Dog (the picture on this very page, without the [[NightmareRetardant text]]).
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold [[supersecretspoiler:-- Kidding.]]
* {{Hypocrite}} -- Like any good internet citizen, he finds humour in people taking things [[SeriousBusiness too seriously]]. Despite frequently doing such himself.
** Also, supporting the removal of Brokencyde from the [[Horrible/{{Music}} horrible music page]] while having written the page for crunkcore (their genre) to be [[{{Understatement}} overly negative]]. And reverting edits that made the page more neutral.
* LiteralMinded -- Sometimes, when his brain is a bit meh.

* {{Narcissist}} -- Though at least he's fully aware of this.
* NonindicativeName
* OnlySaneMan -- Averted. He ''thinks'' he is.

* TheSlacker
* SmallNameBigEgo
* TheStoic -- When he's not the DeadpanSnarker or the SadClown.
