Tropers / Somerandomdude

So I couldn't think of a better name when I made this handle. Shoot me.

Video game and shonen junkie (and animation aficionado in general). I have way too many interests to list here, but the main ones are science/math, international relations, exploration, and languages (speaking German, Spanish and some Afrikaans in addition to my native English). Also really into flight and space and all that jazz. I also like baseball.

Formerly an exchange student to Germany; it was hands down the best experience of my young life.

Weird to me as it sounds, it increasingly seems as though I'm a veteran Troper here. Been troping since early 2009.
