Khrysophylax - Television Tropes & Idioms

Greetings and good day/evening/nearest equivalent to you. Khrysophylax is the handle I use here, and on a number of other sites.

There isn't very much to be said about me; like most people here I have a considerably wide variety of interests ranging from semi-niche Japanese mecha anime to popular western video games. Thus far I'm still a relative newcomer to TV Tropes, doing far more reading than active participation these days (<__<) but I did help to create the the Silver Resistance trope page originally, being quite a large fan of the fanfiction. (Yes, this is a shameless plug for ScytheRider's fanfiction. Please do feel free to follow it.)

I'm also a fairly large fan of Universal Century Gundam in general and especially the newest OVA in the series, Unicorn. I simply cannot say enough good things about it, so if you're fellow UC fan... well, it's likely you'll have already seen it and thus know exactly what I'm talking about. ;)

Since I don't have much else to do with this space, I'll just assemble a (very highly incomplete) list of some of the fandoms I am following and/or in which I'm actively interested.

open/close all folders

Anime & Manga

Mobile Suit Gundam
Zeta Gundam: (He believes in a sign of Zeta.)
Gundam ZZ
Char's Counterattack
Gundam Unicorn: Oh so very much. In fact, it would probably be accurate to say I bought a Blu-Ray player specifically for this.
Gundam 0083
The 08th MS Team
Macross Plus
Fullmetal Alchemist
Digimon Adventure: Including Digimon Adventure 02 and Digimon Tamers.
And so on...

Live Action TV

Stargate SG-1
Stargate Atlantis
Star Trek
NCIS
Battlestar Galactica: Though with the caveat that I pretend seasons three and four never existed.
Mythbusters
Law & Order: This is very much a guilty pleasure.

Film

Alien: There are those who might argue that allowing my ten-year-old self to watch this movie was, perhaps, not the best of ideas. These people are mistaken.
Terminator: This and the sequel are some of my favorites.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: This has become fodder for so many terrible memes over the years...
District 9
Downfall: He finds this both an interesting (if deeply unsettling) glimpse into the frightening psychology of Hitler and his flunkies in their final days, and (as above) a source for countless Internet parodies.
Ghostbusters: How can anyone not enjoy this? It and its sequel are the quintessential comedy of the 1980s.
Night of the Living Dead

Video Games and Consoles

Sonic the Hedgehog was the first video game this troper had ever played. Sonic 3 & Knuckles was both the high water mark of the series and my uncontested favorite.
SonicTheHedgehog4 This isn't a bad game, but I still haven't found the time to complete it. >_>
Fallout: I massively prefer Fallout 1 & 2 over the third, however... which is possibly why I'm such a huge fan of New Vegas.
Super Robot Wars: In an ironic subversion, perhaps not as much as...
Another Century's Episode: Currently, A.C.E. 3 is my favorite mecha game of all time. (Full Armor Nu Gundam HWS, yes!)
Dynasty Warriors: Gundam: For much the same reasons outlined above.
Star Wars Rogue Squadron: And the sequel (I have not played the threequel).
Pokémon. Since the release of Yellow, and I'm now of the opinion that the series hit an amazingly high note with Pokémon Black and White. My favorites tend to be a little atypical, however.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: to a perhaps even greater degree than the original titles.
Neverwinter Nights 2: Though I prefer Mask of the Betrayer over the original to a large degree.
Dragon Age
Halo: Though this presents a very large case of internal Your Mileage May Vary .
Metal Gear Solid
Mass Effect
Baldur's Gate
NightsIntoDreams: This was easily my favorite game on the much-neglected Sega Saturn.
And so on, and so forth...

Literature & Tabletop Games

Warhammer 40,000: IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE FAR FUTURE THERE IS ONLY WAR!
Dungeons & Dragons
Forgotten Realms
J.R.R. Tolkien

Music

Fanfiction and fan-authors

Anything by ScytheRider
Gorsecloud's Spanning Time is amazing.
Netraptor's Sonic fanfics were actually the very first fanfiction my 10-year-old self had ever encountered on the internet. Her website was also probably my first fan-site. She still has one of the most interesting Sonic-verses out there.

Real Life

Attention Deficit Creator Disorder: Alas, played painfully straight. I've begun and abandoned enough fanfics to fill a small library...
Third-Person Person: Ironically not caused by TV Tropes; he has been apt to speak in third person for years and to a degree that is perhaps unhealthy.
