About Me


I've been a Fandom user since 2013 when Fandom was still known as Wikia, starting out on the Red Dead Redemption Wiki. My Fandom username was original MikeRyan129 before I had in changed in April of 2017 to MadMikeRyan to match my Xbox gamertag. On large wikis, normally I just participate in discussions and rarely do much editing myself, but I've put enough work in to be productive. Before MechAssault, the most work I've done on Fandom was rebuilding and fleshing out the heavily vandalized Ryse: Son of Rome Wiki, which is thankfully in a much better state now and being looked after by proper administration. I came onto MechAssault Wiki for the first time in 2017, and although I wasn't always active there I did make sure to check in every single day and protect the wiki from vandalism. Eventually I started having the hankering for MechAssault again and decided to work towards building up the wiki to a respectable state.
 * -|My Time on Fandom=

''' On March 21, 2022 Fandom allowed me to takeover as an Administrator and Bureaucrat for MechAssault wiki. ''' With this being the first time I have ever been an admin or even had rights, I'm still learning the tools and figuring out how to run the wiki as I go. However I am privileged to have the opportunity to help build and manage the community, and will work to keep MechAssault's memory alive for as long as possible.

I've been an avid gamer since I was about 6 years old. My earliest gaming experiences were Gauntlet: Dark Legacy and classic Medal of Honor on the Playstation 2. Playing Gauntlet was always a family affair with my sisters and mother, and we could easily lose a whole day just hanging out and trying to progress through the game. Even now that me and my sisters are all grown and have gone our separate ways, we still occasionally get together and pull the old PS2 out of storage to play Gauntlet once or twice a year.
 * -|How I Started Gaming=

I started playing Xbox when my dad happened to win the original console in a contest, and MechAssault was one of the games included on the demo disk that came with the console. From the moment I first took a 'Mech for a spin I was hooked, so I went out and bought the full game a while later. In fact, I ended up buying a couple of the games on that demo disk including the original Ghost Recon.
