He often hangs around the pages of the hottest new video games he'll never buy, as well as any other game/movie/show he recently saw just to see what others have already written. He's generally happy to fix up spelling, punctuation, and markup errors on his constant crawls from page to page.
He doesn't quite remember how he found TV Tropes, but by some strange coincidence it was the same day that The Order of the Stick posted its comic that included hanging a lampshade on Lampshade Hanging — even though he didn't check the forums and so he wouldn't get that joke until months later.
