Welcome to my user page! I'm a semi-active editor of this wiki and a Project Manager of several other wikis, most notably as a Chief Executive of the Age of Empires Wiki (AoEW) which I have been tenured since April 2012. The AoEW is the first wiki I started participated in as a sophomore in high school during summer vacation. In less than a month after my first edit, I received adminship at that wiki. When you're bored AF, what else to do besides playing a musical instrument, reading books and playing video games? Although I do enjoy playing both traditional board games and video games, especially Real Time Strategy (RTS) computer games, I'm probably not a hard core gamer as some of you might think despite being an admin. I'm also not fluent in mods and the technical/creative side of gaming either. Having a long term interest in science and technology as well as scientific research, I consider myself more as an academic, updating and improving content about a game whether it be words or numbers. The AoEW used to have a dead community and much different compared to when I first joined many years ago. I have witnessed many active users like you (and even me) come and go around these parts, which is pretty common in Wikia these days. Although I may still take some time off here and there, I will still be hanging out here for quite some time until I get bored. However, this will probably not happen thanks to my long term passion with games involving creative empire building and strategic thinking as well as the consistent flow of new users like you!

I have played pretty much every Awesome Game created by Ensemble Studios for over a decade now and is still my most favorite computer game of all time. My favorite thing to do other than editing this wiki is playing one of the world's first strategy game: the game of Chess and Chinese Chess, hence my profile picture which serves as a reminder on how I got so involved with playing RTS games in the first place. This interest also lead me to the Dawn of War Wiki where I'm also a Bureaucrat. My activity across Wikia can be quite varied since I'm currently preparing myself for a future career in geotechnical engineering.

I only listen to Classical piano music across various time periods. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS!
 * -| What is your favorite music? =

PlayLiszt!

 * 1) My favorite Transcendental Étude from Franz Liszt. I really want to practice it.
 * 2) Extremely hard, yet extremely beautiful! I can only play this from memory up to, a best, around 25% completion
 * 3) My favorite Chopin Étude. I can play this from memory, but of course, I can't perform it perfectly.
 * 4) Hardest piano piece I can play from memory. I played this in the high school talent show before at one point, but it’s been many years so I’m a little rusty. Even at that time, I still can’t perform it perfectly.
 * 5) I played this rag during the high school talent show before at one point, but it’s been many years so I’m a little rusty. The overall performance was OK.
 * 6) My favorite rag from the Gilded Age. Charlie Chaplin anyone?
 * 7) Für Elise & all of Beethoven's 1st movements are absolutely overrated. This has got be at least the finest music Beethoven has to offer.
