Hello world, I am Devious Recital, a man that knows you don't particularly care what I have to say about myself, so I shall list tropes that apply to me here anyway. For my own amusement. Also, [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2510932/DocRetcon beware my fanfics]], and know that I have a few {{Old Shame}}s. But they probably aren't as bad as a lot of other people's. My newer stuff is still better though.

On this site, I stick mostly to reviewing and forum posting, but I will add the odd example here and there.

[[folder:Devious Tropes (open to wiki magic)]]
* AppropriatedAppellation: Just "Devious" if you will, or if you don't like typing, Doc. If you don't get it, my name abbreviates to DR, or Dr. Doctor. Doc.
* {{Asexuality}}
* AuthorAppeal: Want to make me like something? Take your female lead, [[ShanaClone make her a tsundere badass (usually with a flat chest and red hair)]], give her just the right level of power and I'll love you forever. It's an old concept, but one I never tire of. For video games, include plenty of options for theivery, stealth, assasination, and all the other things ninjas do. Even if the character who has the options isn't technically a ninja. ''Especially'' if the character isn't a ninja.
* BadassArmFold: ALL. THE. TIME.
* BerserkButton: While normally I am quite composed, if you ever make me look for something when it's urgent that I have to do something else, prepare for a ClusterFBomb.
* [[BlondeGuysAreEvil Blondes Are Assholes]]
* BrilliantButLazy: The former is debatable, the latter is not.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
* CovertPervert: I'm not interested in real people, but Rosie Palms I have met with many times. No one would believe how many times though.
* DeadpanSnarker: Goes hand in hand with my InsaneTrollLogic defenses.
** StepfordSnarker: Downplayed, but sometimes all it seems I can do is speak sarcasitcally.
* {{Dismotivation}}: Who the hell needs change when they have everything they want?
* HotBloodedSideburns: My favorite physical characteristic about myself, though I wouldn't really say I'm HotBlooded.
* IcyBlueEyes: Don't expect to see them that often though.
* ItAmusedMe
* GlassesPull: Normally, I wear contacts, but I LOVE using this trope when I am wearing glasses. It's one of the very few reasons I wear glasses anymore.
* {{Jerkass}}
* JerkassHasAPoint: My attitude is all the more frustrating when I'm right
* LargeHam
* ManipulativeBastard: When I feel like it, I can rape your mind. I'm better at the HannibalLecture than one might believe
* MinoredInAsskicking: People usually see me as TheSmartGuy, which makes it fun to tell them that I've climbed 10,000 foot peaks before
* PsychoticSmirk: People say I have a rather nice one
* RedRightHand: What is this page not enough? Fine, go with the scar on my cheek then.
* RidiculousProcrastinator: So, ''so'' much.
* ScrewDestiny: I seem to be rather apt at this, accomplishing so much in spite of my terrible procrastination
* ShrinkingViolet: I am on a computer, aren't I?
* SlobsVersusSnobs: Interestingly enough, I am both
* SlouchOfVillainy: In one as I type this. My favorite pose.
* TheSlacker: I'd get around to taking over the world if it didn't burn so many calories...
* TheStoic: Despite the LargeHam tag above, it is hard to make me feel something. When I do, I let loose like nobody's business, but usually, people say I look bored or somber.
* {{The Ubermensch}}: I reject your reality and yeah you get the idea.
* TookALevelInJerkass: I UsedToBeASweetKid. Then I discovered {{Schadenfreude}}, the [[CorruptTheCutie Internet, Video Games]], and [[SmallNameBigEgo how much smarter I was than everyone else]]
* {{Troll}}: Occasionally
[[/folder]]

Recommendations, because I can be a nice guy. When it amuses me.

[[folder:Cartoons and comics of Japan]]
* {{Berserk}}: Miura is a God with an erratic schedule.
* TheBigO: Can't go wrong with Phoenix Wright, Giant Robots, and MindScrew.
* BlackLagoon: GUNS.
* CodeGeass: It may be a trainwreck, but when it fails, it fails ''magnificently''. Same goes for when it succeeds.
* DeathNote: Have a look at my avatar why don't you? Actually, I dislike Light, but the macro is amusing, you must admit.
* {{Digimon}}: Specifically, anything but seasons 2 and 4.
* EurekaSeven: Believe it or not, there are parts of this that aren't {{Wangst}}, and somehow, none of it TastesLikeDiabetes to me.
* {{Hellsing}}: YES.
* NeonGenesisEvangelion: Need I say more?
* TengenToppaGurrenLagann: What? You want an opinion? WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?
* SoulEater: Random intelligent neo-gothic shonen with a smart girl for a protagonist and filled to the brim with psychopaths? Sign me up.
* [[NoMoreHeroes Pure White Lover Bizarre Jelly 5]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Da Movies]]
* ApocalypseNow: The Horror...
* ArmyOfDarkness: [[BruceCampbell The mighty chin]] is my favorite actor.
* BatmanTheMovie: I won't stand for anyone but Adam West.
* EvilDead: 1 and 2.
* {{Inception}}: Dream is collapsing. DUN. DUN.
* {{Film/Iron Man}}: Robert Downey Jr. is amazing.
* TheGodfather: Part One only. The second one I found to be rather boring, but perhaps that's because I really liked MarlonBrando.
* {{Troll 2}}: Watched it. All of it.
* TronLegacy: Techno Gothic is awesome.
* ShaunOfTheDead: As you might be able to tell, I like my schlock horror films, even if this one isn't quite schlock.
* YoungFrankenstein or anything by MelBrooks for that matter, though I didn't really think BlazingSaddles was too great.
* WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory: GOOD DAY SIR!
* Most [[StanleyKubrick Kubrick]] films
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Not Animated TV]]
* TheATeam: Sometimes.
* TheAdventuresOfBriscoCountyJr
* BurnNotice: Again with BruceCampbell. Can't get enough of him. JefferyDonovan and GabrielleAnwar are wonderful too, of course.
* {{Community}} Somehow, I find every character inherently hilarious. '''This never happens'''. Though Pierce isn't quite as funny as the rest, see?
* DoctorWho Duh.
* Pick a JossWhedon show. Any Joss Whedon show.
* JackOfAllTrades: Guess why?
* {{Scrubs}}: Say what you will about it, it was an altogether amusing show for me. Gotta love Dr. Kelso.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Books that have animation strips]]
* DoomPatrol: I was into X-Men before X-Men was cool.
* GreenLantern:POWAAAAHHH!!! UNLIMITED POWAAAHH!!!!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Stories that really should be sued for copyright infringement and general application of Sturgeon's Law]]
* NobodyDies: Which is technically CanonDefilement, but it's done right.
* ThirtyHs: Devious relished this story's roar as he withdrew his awesome-soaked brain from the story's hilarious insanity.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:TV Shows that are animated but not Japanese]]
* {{Thundercats}} Why not?
* XiaolinShowdown: Jack Spicer is amazing.
* {{Transformers}}: As in, any of the non-anime. I'm not fond of G1 either.
* SwatKats: Probably the only good show that Hannah Barbara ever produced.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Digital toys]]
* NoMoreHeroes: GTA stuff? Annoying. Everything else? ''Gold''.
* MegaMan: *snort*
* {{Metroid}} There should be a Crowning Series of Awesome trope just for Metroid.
* Hell, anything by {{Capcom}}, really.
* SonicTheHedgehog: Most of the games are pretty good in my opinion. They all have their share of faults, though some more than others, obviously.
* NintendoWars: I only own ''Days of Ruin'', but I love it, and I'm a strategy nut, and it really needs its own page.
* {{Okami}} is my favorite game, full stop.
* StarFox64 DADDY SCREAMED REAAAALLL GOOD BEFORE HE DIED!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Muzak]]
* {{BLACK SABBATH}}: The first band I was ever really into.
* CharlesMingus
* DoomMetal in general.
* {{Darude}}
* DaftPunk, full stop.
* DreamTheater TELL MEEEEEE, REMIND ME...
* IronMaiden
* JudasPriest

* Hello there! It seems to me you left out of your list "Pages with words on them" (or a more original title). Greetings! - @/AmusedTroperGuy
** Naturally. I'm more of a fan of authors than individual works, and I honestly couldn't tell you what my favorite book was. I prefer short stories, anyhow, and we don't have pages for those... do we?
