This troper is a high-school age nerd from the US of A.
Fan of - Science fiction, fantasy and anything JossWhedon, as a rule.
*{{The X-Files}} - [[BigNo Why, why oh why]] did it have to slip into SeasonalRot?
*{{Firefly}}
*BuffyTheVampireSlayer
*DoctorWho
*{{Star Trek}}, with the exception of Enterprise and some Voyager. Also [[SeasonalRot season 3 of TOS]]. Really, just TNG and DS9.
*{{The Dresden Files}}
*{{Star Wars}}, of course.
I'm also an aficionado of video and tabletop games (and soon to be DM), such as:
*{{Nobilis}}
*{{Dungeons and Dragons}} - 3.5 forever. Fuck 4e.
*{{Deus Ex}} - Pretty much my favorite game ever. "A bomb's a bad choice for close range combat."
*{{Sonic The Hedgehog}} - Before {{Adaptation Decay}} set in. By my estimation, the last good Sonic game was Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, but the original Genesis games were the best. (I still have a working Genesis and cartriges for most of the Sonic games!)
*{{Team Fortress 2}} - SPAH SAPPIN' MAH SENTRY! (I'm a spah player. I enjoy it to a ridiculous degree.)
*[[HalfLife Half-Life 2]] and associated episodes. Not to mention mods. [[http://www.hylobatidae.org/minerva/ MINERVA: Metastasis]] and [[http://www.hidden-source.com/ Hidden: Source]] are two good ones. Can't wait for Black Mesa.
Favorite trope - I have to say that my favorite trope is also the one that describes me best: {{Dangerously Genre Savvy}}.
Hang on, I just found the ScienceHero trope. Epic win.
I'm also a bona fide [[TheSingularity transhumanist]]. I think humanity will develop strong AI and immortality treatments sooner or later, and I'm certainly going to invest in cryogenic freezing as a precautionary measure, and I certainly recommend that anyone who reads this considers it as well. Most life insurance policies will cover cryonics (i.e. set up the cryonics organization as a beneficiary), and if you do a cost-benefit analysis, it's really the only logical conclusion. Even if there's only a ten percent chance of it working (and the science suggests the chance is much higher than that), that's still a ten percent better chance than a standard human internment ritual. If you get yourself cremated or put into the ground to rot, you're dead. [[KilledOffForReal Period]]. [[http://www.overcomingbias.com/2008/12/you-only-live-twice.html This]] Overcoming Bias post has much more information, if you're interested. Sorry for writing an {{Author Tract}}, but this is a subject I feel strongly about.
More updates coming soon. Probably.
