Hello, I am one of the many sysops at SW. I am excellent at persevering through criticism, which I hope is to the benefit of SW. I (and others) sometimes abbreviate my alias as NMH.
My current goal is to produce game stubs for upcoming games, improve the MapleStory guide, and add information regarding Urban Rivals.
You can find some of my contributions through the extended toolbox links on the right. Feel free to PM me on my talk page, or you can do so privately by using the email link in the toolbox in the right margin.
Need help? Ask in either my talk page or the Staff Lounge. If you can, join me and the others in the #StrategyWiki IRC Channel (I try to be there, but I usually forget).
Profile
A shout out to Lunar Knight for the idea of a personal infobox.
I've protected my pages from edits, but if you have an idea for making them better go ahead and discuss it with me on my talk page.
About me
I love video games, I love gathering data for them just as much (maybe even more). I spend most of my free time on StrategyWiki.
I do all of my edits by hand. The most automated processes I rely on are copy/paste, some regular expressions and the find functions within Firefox or IE. I am currently experimenting with AutoWikiBrowser.
- History
In November, 2006, I was making articles on Wikipedia for Gunster: Rain of Bullets and various other things when I noticed that "game guide information" was not allowed on Wikipedia. I panicked and, seeking refuge for my work, found GameInfo at Wikia (where I dumped some of my contributions) and then later StrategyWiki. Since SW had an active community and a much more original skin and organization, it had me hooked.
- Interaction with the wiki
I most often work with cleanup, creating new article pages, setting up guides for others, solving editing problems, and contributing what I can remember from playing games. I also work with screenshots, image touch ups, content, inquiry, helping with community issues and admining (more or less).
- Other wikis
I rarely work on Wikipedia, as SW takes up most of my time. I am also an administrator on a few Wikia wikis. I tend to stay away from video game related wikis on Wikia, however I am prone to supporting large, active communities such as WoWWiki, when I am playing the game(s) covered by the wiki.
My gaming history
Although I'm relatively young, I grew up playing NES and Atari games, and I still have many if not all of my NES carts (we went through maybe 4 systems but none survived). PC games were also a big thing, since my brother purchased a Pentium 400 or something that I used to play Commander Keen games and Warcraft: Orcs and Humans on. Eventually I killed that computer (probably by formatting it) and we got a newer one later which I used to play Ascendancy, Civilization, Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, and The Secret of Monkey Island on (all of which I sucked at).
I think I was 8 or so before I got my SNES (it was like $115 used with several games), which I still have (yet it's now broken, and I will soon find a FC Twin to replace it). I was given Shadow Run as part of the bundle, however because I was quite young and impatient, I went and traded it for Secret of Mana; a great trade indeed (although I had to pay an extra $20 or so during the exchange). I feel bad for getting rid of that game though. I have only traded/sold around five games in my life and I've regretted every single exchange. I remember writing an "essay" in the third grade where I basically wrote about a mix of reality and visual ideas from the sprites and items present in Secret of Mana... wow.
(Side note; sold games: Shadow Run, SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron, Vagrant Story, this one basketball game for Xbox though I gave it away instead of selling it; lost games T_T: Banjo Kazooie, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)
When I turned 11, 5th grade, I rented an N64 and had a party with a couple of friends, playing GoldenEye 007 and Star Fox 64. That December my cousins and my brothers received an N64 to be split between us. After several years of swapping we ended up with the system (which I still have).
Around the age of 14 I got a GameCube for my birthday with Luigi's Mansion.
At the age of 16 I got a student Visa with a low limit. Thus the ability to purchase things online was now mine. I went on a Genesis rampage and now have 1-3 consoles (I haven't checked my inventory for a while), about 10 controllers, several crazy adapters, a 32X without a connector cable (T_T), a Menacer Rifle, about 8 Sonic the Hedgehog 2 cartridges, and many other games.
I recently acquired a PlayStation, and am borrowing (for a very long time) a PlayStation 2 (one that can't play PSX games, so I'm glad to have both systems).
That's about it, 'cept I've been buying games in between my whole life.

"The Hot Q: Grand Theft Auto 4
...It's something I get asked about a lot (thanks for the E-mails, guys - you know who you are). It's Grand Theft Auto 4, and prepare yourselves for a whopper of a rumor, folks. Here goes: The just-announced Grand Thef Auto: Vice City is just the beginning of what will become known as the GTA Universe. After Vice City, the next Grand Theft Auto game will be dubbed "Crime Online." And if you haven't guessed by now, it's going to be the first console-networked title in the series. There will be a new stand-alone GTA as well, but that's still a ways off..." --Q-Mann, EGM August 2002.
Congratulations! Notmyhandle is the winner of the Walkthrough competition!
