Upon reading the MetalBishop memorium topic I've come to a realization. Asside from a few super-regular posters, we as a group don't really know much about each other. In an effort to make the internet a little smaller, post whatever little known facts about yourself that haven't come up yet. I'm talking favorite movies, favorite bands, if you play any instruments, awesome stories involving you, where you work/go to school, how long you've been a bossie, things like that.

My name is Kyle but people call me Kyle.

I like Rush, Queen, VG music (particularily minibosses), Rage against the machine, and a bewildering variety of music that encompasses just about everything with the exception of country music.

I can't decide what my favorite games are. I don't watch much TV

I enjoy movies about zombies or Hunter S Thompson.

Riders (my oldest friend) showed me the minibosses about 5 years ago and I've been hooked since.

I play bass guitar. I dabble in guitar and double bass.

I was in a band with Riders and 2 other local guys. We played RATM, Rush, a few VG covers, and some sparse original material. We have now been fragmented by geography and time restraints.

I'm now an engineering undergrad and I hope to work on something sweet like ROBOTS.

Some goals I have in life are to find a good woman, build my own house and have a library.

I may drink too much but I'm sure I won't let it get out of control.

AIM: Identical to forum name.

Five Bands: Minibosses, Chromelodeon, The Advantage, Jenova Project, IHYWYP

Five Games: Mega Man III, Viewtiful Joe, Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy VII, Gunstar Heroes

Five Movies: Transformers, TMNT 2, Empire, The Goonies, Evil Dead

Television: Venture Brothers, Home Movies, Scrubs, American Dad, Family Guy

How I became a bossie: eToychest.org linked to their W&W cover and a couple weeks later MM2 came out , so that's when I joined the forum (The green one, but then... it was black) under the name Kobrakai.

I play guitar (maybe for 6/7 years) and goof around on the piano.

I played bass in a band and we played music that sounded like silver chair / radio head, so I fell out of that after a year. Then I played a couple shows with "Sneaky Transitions" for a few school events where we played a Duck Tales / Bubble Bobble / FF6 / Mario medley.

Job: Airport Mail Sorter / Loader.

School: Finished highschool in 2004, havent started college yet.

Life Goals: I want to have a good job that would allow me to get a band going on the side and play live again. And I want to surround myself with good people.

What people call you outside of the internet: Andy (duh!)

Age: 19 (gonna be 20 on Dec 7th!)

Top 5 bands: Nine Inch Nails, Paul McCartney, Ashane (if he counts as a band), Michael Jackson (yeah he's Lester-Lester the Child Molester, but don't be dissin his music, unless it's from the Invincible album; blah!), and minibosses (Just for their Ninja Gaiden cover; awesome!).

Top 5 games: Ninja Gaiden (1-3 for NES), Ironsword: W&W 2, Donkey Kong Country (1-3), Mega Man-X (1-3), and Tekken (2-4; I haven't played 1 or 5 yet, so I can't say). Oh crap, I almost forgot Killer Instinct (1-Gold), Mario (except for the offshoot games like Mario Sports; but Mario Kart was pretty koo, I guess), Street Fighter (All SNES versions), Smash Bros (1-Melee), and StarFox 64 (I dunno about the other StarFox games, I haven't played them).

Top 5 movies: John Candy movies, Chris Farley movies, Jim Carrey movies, Revenge of the Nerds, and Office Space.

Watch T.V.?: Yes, the box is in my room, what of it? Oh, you wanna know what I watch? Ok, ummmm. Tommy Lee Goes to College was good. Teen Titans is awesome. I'm getting into the Naruto anime (hey, they're doin' better than the One Piece anime, right?). WWE Raw is recorded on a religous basis (I hope that TNA coming to Spike TV will put the creative fire under WWE's ass. Is this the new Monday Night Wars I smell?). Hogan Knows Best is decent, although I haven't watched too much of it to tell yet. That's all I can think of for the moment.

How did you become a Bossie?: Well, a funny thing happened on Google one day (as it always seems to happen). I was really into the synthy sounding remixes at this point in time because of my love for NIN. I searched for "Video Game Music Bands", and after much searching, I stumbled onto the minibosses' site. From there, I discovered DoD, Ninjascape, and The Shizz. Ahh, the good ol' days. I have yet to see the 'Bosses live, but I never say never. I hope to show up at MAGfest in January for my first minibosses experience.

Play any instruments?: I'm learning to play guitar right now. I wanna learn bass when I get my dad's stuff. I also wanna get a drum set when I get the money (probably after MAGfest). My dad taught me some stuff on the keyboard, nothing much though.

In a band? (include webpage if available): Well, as everyone, their mommy, and even grammy knows, I'm in the band ODK. ODK is short for Oof Da Kitty. According to legend, the name originates from my littlest bro always saying "oof!" all the time. Word leaked as is always does. Our guitar player, BioHazard B, got wind of it and added his own take to it. And thus, Oof Da Kitty was born! Just fairly recently, we started up another project: Team Bio. It involves B's car, which is his namesake, knowhatimean? The ODK info can be found on my site. Expect Team Bio info to follow shortly.

Job: McDonald's. I basically live there for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I've been doin' it for 3 years come Halloween. I'm primarily a grill person, but they've been putting me in the presentor's spot (for those who don't know McDonald's lingo, a presentor is the dood or doodete who gives you your food in drive-thru). I like to present; It's fun and mindless.

School: I go to ITT Technical Institute in Dayton twice a week, majoring in Web Design (unless I wanna go to Software Applications).

Life Goals: I wanna move to someplace nice and warm, but not scorching, and have a kool job makin' lots of money doin' what I like to do and have a girlfriend whose not only my babe, but my best friend too.

Random facts and stories you can think of involving you:
-I wear my watch on my right hand, but I'm right-handed.
-My dad is my musical inspiration. I really miss him. He died about a year ago from literally drinking himself to death. He was my best friend as well as my dad. I remember that we used to watch DBZ together; me, my bro, and my dad. We even developed a theory about time travel by watching the Cell saga. I even typed (as in typewriter, he had no computer) a DBZ fanfic called DragonBall-X (which will be renamed DragonBall-XS so it won't be confused with the hentai DragonBall-X). I will finish it when I get possession of all of my dad's stuff and our stuff as well. You see, he didn't leave a will, so it's almost scrambles. But, my aunt wants to sell his stuff to pay off his funeral. I want to keep the majority of his stuff to preserve his legacy and to hopefully, learn to play guitar and bass. Music was his life, and I want to carry it on after his death not just because I want to keep him alive, but to start a new direction in life for myself as well.

This is all that I can think of at the moment. I'll edit this post when I think of more.
