That's my avatar, Gooey, the blue blob in the branches.
With the description, the current picture is fine.
Not every trope needs a page-long comic describing what the trope means in detail.
…We rely far too much on comics as page images. Especially on text-heavy ones that are essentially "trope description adjacent to these pictures".
For this page, it was well worth breaking the "one quote per page" rule I so love to enforce.
Now, let's get started with some basic info about me:
- Age: 15. (No surprise there.)
- Sex: Male. (Again, no surprise there.)
- Interests: Video Games, typically those on Nintendo systems. (No surprise there.)
- Faith: Roman Catholic.
- Descent: Italian-Irish.
- Country of origin: United States. (Massachusetts)
- Currently situated in: United States. (Massachusetts)
- Started reading TV Tropes: Around September 2010. Or maybe summer 2010. I forget exactly.
- Date of known-get: November 18, 2011.
- My greatest accomplishment: Custom titling Pokémon on March 29, 2012 after all these years of the main, non-ptitle article being called "Pokemon".
You could say my hobby is moving images to the right and moving superfluous quotes to
Quotes Wiki. And by "hobby," I mean that's the only thing I really know how
to always do right. I also just
loooove assigning pages custom titles. The only examples I've actually
added, though, tend to be either from
Spyro the Dragon,
Kirby Mass Attack, or from any work for which I have created a page (see below for a list of those—right now it is quite short). I also sometimes do
wick moves when pages get
renamed or
namespaced, but I only do that for the pages with few wicks. In case you haven't yet discovered that I am in fact lazy, that last assertion should convince you.
Honorable mentions of some of my favorite works:
- Pikmin 2, which is my all-time favorite game. The original Pikmin is also wonderful, but the sequel polished everything further.
- Kirby, especially Kirby 64, Dream Land 3, Return to Dream Land, and Mass Attack.
- Mario Kart. So addicting. Super Circuit in particular is severely underrated, despite selling like hotcakes.
- Spyro the Dragon.
- Crash Bandicoot. 2 through Crash Team Racing were the best. Crash Nitro Kart and the GBA ones were okay, even though they were all blatant rehashes. Twinsanity was entertaining, but very glitchy and it unfortunately had a lot of things cut.
- The Simpsons. Only thing about which I really care enough to watch on TV. Well, that and Wheel of Fortune, because that comes on a half-hour before The Simpsons where I live.
- Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies. The Golden Age of Animation at its shiniest.
- Kingdom Hearts, which is odd because it has a nonsense Kudzu Plot and a ton of other flaws I don't care to list. It's just impossible to say no to the gameplay: Button Mashing, key slashing action. Also Donald. And Goofy. And Disney. They's cool.
- Homestar Runner. I've loved it since I was seven and I've seen every cartoon (how else would I get the jokes?). Basically the only Web Original work I like apart from The Demented Cartoon Movie, which was amusing (way better than asdfmovie, that's for sure) but not nearly as brilliant.
- Dragon Quest IX. It got me into that classic series, and I played so much of it with my brother. Nothing like teaming up to take down Mortamor using all the skills accumulated while grinding in the hours upon hours of postgame content.
- For that matter, Dragon Quest VI. Not one of the most influential or unique RPGs ever created, but one of the most fun.
- So many games in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Especially the newer ones. The fishing levels weren't enough to ruin Sonic Adventure, Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog were fun, and Sonic Unleashed was amazing during the day and mediocre at the very worst at night. Sonic Colors, both versions, is every bit as great as I was hoping it would be.
- Pixar. Just… Pixar.
- Rayman. I would play through the original game repeatedly on my GBA. As in, multiple times per day. And Rayman 3 is underrated. Both games, but mostly the console one. Then Rayman Origins came along and was somehow one of the greatest platformers ever crafted.
- Motoheroz FULL STOP and how! That is all.
- World Of Goo. I didn't expect it to have a plot at all, let alone a hilarious and epic one. And the moody soundtrack only adds to the awe this game inspires.
- Oh right, EarthBound, my namesake. Though since I played it I am evil.
Dishonorable mentions:
- Glee. Everything for which it stands I despise.
- Most Anime, though that's not to say I dislike Studio Ghibli or Osamu Tezuka's character designs present in Astro Boy: Omega Factor. Shunsaku Ban looks like Mickey Mouse!
- Mario Kart 64. It's still fun to play, but its graphics are dull, its gameplay and Rubber Band A.I. are very glitchy, and at least half of the courses are rubbish. It is severely overrated. It has a great soundtrack, though, and the courses make a great transition to the Wii.
- The Revenge of Shinobi. It is one of the most overrated games ever made. Maybe it was acceptable back when it was released, what with being about a ninja, one of the first games on the Sega Genesis, and chock-full of shout outs, but today its slow-paced gameplay just does not hold up.
- Sonic Adventure 2. One third of the game is immensely fun and fast, with solid level design and awesome music, but the rest of the game is just awfully tedious. I don't know how I could stand it when I was six. Today the game just isn't worth playing because of those treasure-hunting stages.
Pages I have created:

- Just wanted to say that there's a Catullus page now, since you suggested it. ^^ ~Harpsichord
- Thank you so much! If I had made that page, it would have just been Writer Bashing.
