(1) A male Canadian troper who discovered TV Tropes back in 2009. He is articulate, sarcastic, and dedicated to his goal of mastering the world though [[PostCyberpunk digital media technology]].

(2) A nickname for the MagicTheGathering [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=153298 murderous redcap]]depicting a creepy yet oddly endearing goblin. The name's origins can be traced back to the aforementioned troper, who was into the card game at the time.

(3) The home of a name of an [[http://www.livestream.com/sneebs entertaining livestream]] which aired every Friday night at 9 pm, Eastern Standard Time. It stream classic movies, unlicensed and out-of-print anime, and television shows which you might have missed and probably shouldn't have. It's classy entertainment for classy people.

{{Sneebs}} is a longtime internet denizen who has been in [[SerialExperimentsLain the Wired]] since 1998. When not squandering time away online, he is completing an undergraduate degree in psychology, earning a diploma in ethics, and aspiring to one day rule a small island nation, if not the entire world. A self described {{Lawful Neutral}}, he is surprised to learn how nice people really think he is and suspects he may be leaning towards LawfulGood. He has [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness quite the vocabulary]] and isn't afraid to use it.

He likes children and animals ([[SarcasmMode depending on how they're cooked]]), knows [[IKnowKungFu martial arts]] despite having a tendency to be [[SquishyWizard unathletic]] and has a high resistance to {{Mind Screw}}.


!!Tropes embodying {{Sneebs}} (Free to edit as my fellow Tropers see fit):
* {{ADHD}}: Discovered he had this only a few years ago. Leans predominantly toward the ADD (inattentive spectrum). He is a little [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} strange]], just enough to be funny.
* BestBeerEver: Low alcohol metabolism in an [[{{DeadpanSnarker}} biting smartass]] pretty much guarantees a [[HotBlooded night of amusement]].
* BrilliantButLazy: Such as how he's editing this wiki right now instead of finishing his research paper...
* CanadaEh: His momeland.
* ChivalrousPervert: His sense of humour can push the boundaries of taste sometimes, yet he always maintains a respectably polite and oddly feminist outlook - he certainly [[WouldntHitAGirl Wouldn't Insult A Girl]].[[hottip:*: The pansy!]]
* DeadpanSnarker
* TheGadfly: Just wait until he start taking potshots in the forums. Getting a rise out of people with an idle comment is '''''so''''' satisfying! [[NobleDemon Just only pay attention to his more asinine moments]] - [[JerkWithAHeartofGold his kinder moments kind of kill the image]]
* GeekPhysiques - Of the lanky variety. Acquiring muscle-mass just wasn't in the genetic cards. [[MusclesAreMeaningless not that it]] ''really'' [[WeakButSkilled matters]]
* GeniusDitz: Unfortunately, he descends into this occasionally. Please be kind and [[WhyDidYouMakemeHitYou politely remind him to stop should he take a turn in this way.]]
* GuileHero/ MagnificentBastard: His overall career goal. Probably won't happen, but a boy can dream!
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Being a high achiever who gets frustrated when he doesn't live up to lofty goals, he sometimes comes across as a bit of a FailureKnight. Should this arise on the forums please get him to stop with a reassuring word and [{BrightSlap a hefty backhand]].
* LargeHam: He enjoyed theater as a kid. It has rubbed off and manifests elsewhere. But what else would you expect on a self-embellishment medium like this page, anyhow?
* InAWorld: A career as a radio announce for his school has led him to consider voice acting as a possible hobby.
* InsufferableGenius: An InvokedTrope, played for comedy. Of course, it's not like someone of ''your'' intellect could appreciate it!
* [[{{CharacterDevelopment}} (Formerly)]] TheLinus/ CuteShotaroBoy : He took things far too seriously as a kid and honestly believed that the best thing in life he could do was act grown up and [[{{ContemplateOurnavels}} reflect on the ways of the world]]. You know, in betweeen watching {{The Magic School Bus}} and playing in his tree fort.
* NiceHat: He wears a black hat with a white feather. Quoth the Sneebs: "I can feel the +2 charisma bonus."
* OwlBeDamned: He has a personal fancy for the birds and uses them as his personal symbol representing a certain Greek Goddess who represents certain [[TheOdyssey characteristics which he wants to develop more of]].
* PostCyberpunk: Because cyberspace has only augmented his human relationships, rather than stifled them.
* TheSpock: VERY analytical, sometimes to the point of making everything SeriousBusiness.
* StoicSpectacles/ BrainySpecs: He has been told he comes off as fairly badass with the right pair of frames, looking clever, reserved and quietly badass. Plus, [[{{Scary Shiny Glasses}} his Gendo Ikari stare]] is the stuff of [[strike: Blackjack]] Magic: the Gathering legend

Fan of/Contributer to the pages of:
* {{Bioshock}} - only video game to ever make me cry
* {{Blackadder}} - An important founding influence on my developing sense of humour.
* TheBigO - Someone in Japan decided to reinvent BatmanTheAnimatedSeries as a giant robot show. It works surprisingly well, if tongue can be planted firmly in cheek
* CodeGeass, in spite of its [[{{Narm}} melodrama]]. Hooray for [[{{TheChessmaster}} cleverness]], [[{{LargeHam}} theatrics]] and [[{{MsFanservice}} C.C.]]!
* TheCompanyOfWolves - I launched the page for a reason. It's as if David Lynch met Sigmund Freud and they both decided to make Little Red Riding Hood: The Movie while doing psychotropics together. SoBadItsGood and [[WhatDoYouMeanitsNotSymbolic METAPHORS]]
* DeathNote - L is the man.
* DennouCoil - A kid-friendly, [[{{StudioGhibli}} Ghibli-eqsue]] version of Serial Experiments Lain that doesn't assault one's definition of reality and ends happily, to boot! What's not to like - even the filler is enjoyable!
* DesuDesBrigade - JesuOtaku is awesome, ProfessorOtaku is funny {{Vixen}} is attractive Arkada is sensible and Malakeye is random. What more do you want to know?
* DeusEx - Because {{postcyberpunk}} rules. Bonus points for being the video game which made me discover [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GKChesterton G.K. Chesterton.]]
* {{Dexter}} - Writing about serial killers convincingly is one thing, making them damn near appealing is another matter altogether!
* DoctorWho - face it: he's British Jesus with a time machine.
* {{Dune}} - My first adventure into science fiction literature and a highly appreciated {{Planetary Romance}}
* GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex - Laughing Man for President of the Internet!
* HalfLife - the entire franchise is videogame storytelling done right.
* [[Series/{{Heroes}} The first season of Heroes]] - And only that season!
* LieToMe - he hasn't seen this yet, but probably should.
* {{Lost}} - Ben & Locke were made to rock! [[GrowingTheBeard And then season five happened...]].
** I just saw the finale. F__k you, J.J. Abrams!
* MagicTheGathering - I will beat those who play [[{{Yugiohtheabridgedseries}} children's card games]] at an adult's card game instead!
* {{NaokiUrasawa}} - Pluto, Monster, 20th Century Boys, Billy Bat, Yawara - among the best authors in Japan, regardless of medium. I launched his page, to share his greatness with the wiki!
* NeilGaiman - An amazing author. Wonderfully imaginative,hilarious mythological and literary refences thrown all about, and damned funny.
* Fanfic/NobodyDies - It's Evangelion fanfiction. y definition I ought to hate it with every fibre of my being. But every time the author manages to make the silly fluff entertaining and fun.
* {{Paprika}}- As the tagline says: "This is your brain on anime." SatoshiKon, you are the Japanese DavidLynch, except you make mind screw fun!
** That last statement is subject to some slight revision - WTF was with the ending to ParanoiaAgent!?! You're not working with StudioGainax, dammit!
* {{Planetes}} (manga only, so far) - 2001: A Space Odyssey as a refreshingly down-to-earth human drama. Full of powerful tear jerkers and equally powerful jokes[[hottip:*:I never admit to laughing at anime or manga. The cat in the zero-gee toilet had me in stitches!]]. A magnificent series
* PrincessTutu - Because [[{{MetafictionDemandedThisIndex}} metafiction]] is so much fun! The fight choreography was stellar. And a magical girl heroine who I actually care about?! Hell yes!
* ThePrisoner - The episodes are hit and miss in some of the plotting, but then the two-parter GrandFinale hits us in the face.... "I am not a number! I am a free man!"
* {{RahXephon}} - In my humble opinion, this is the best anime ever. Never has a JigsawPuzzlePlot paid off so well or with so few loose ends. [[{{YMMV}} I'll leave the judgement up to you.]] I created the [[{{Characters/RahXephon}} Character Sheet]] for it.
* RevolutionaryGirlUtena - Proof that liking so-called girly things only makes you an intellectual subversive who deconstructs gender norms. Revolutionize the world!
* {{SnowCrash}} - I reiterate my views on postcyberpunk. [[{{WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome}} Plus, the best pizza delivery scene in world literature.]]
* {{Transmetropolitan}}: I ought to hate the cocky, amphetamine-fuelled [[{{Jerkass}} bastard]] that is Spider Jeruselem. Yet I can't help but take my eyes off of his dangerous, witty, and outrageous political antics.
----

*{{ADHD}}: Discovered he had this only a few years ago. Leans predominantly toward the ADD (inattentive spectrum). He is a little [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} strange]], but is never one to be [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass underestimated]].
* BadassLongcoat: A deep green longcoat, no less. It keeps both the rain AND thugs at bay.

* DeadpanSnarker: When you've got 99th percentile language skills, this tends to come with the territory.

* LargeHam: He enjoyed theater as a kid. It has rubbed off and occasionally manifests.

* NiceHat: He wears a black hat with a white feather. Quoth the Sneebs: "I can feel the +2 charisma bonus."
