Although I've known of W4O since its creation, (or within a few days of then) I somehow never made an account for the forums here until not-too-long ago. Some might say that's one of the many signs of my innate, powerful talents in procrastination, but Shh!

At any rate, I don't really think I'm being TOO presumptuous when I think that for many, I need no introduction. However, many will note that I've actually introduced myself on the official forums no less than three times, (since the old threads get pruned so much) I figured I may as well re-write my own description here, for further bafflement to all.
I am known, here and beyond, as
Nottheking. This goes for not just the official forums, but as far as I can tell, also for any of the
Elder Scrolls-related sites or threads on the Internet, including many, many I've never been to/heard of before; This is not just my name for forums, but also for many other types of account, and also how I am spoken of in places, as I noted, I've never been too. I've been using this name since, gee, I can't quite remember when. Sometime in 1999 or 2000, I think.
I do warn people, there are some "impostors" out there; chiefly, I've found a recent proliferation of accounts using my name on some Chinese sites for
World of Warcraft, as well as some health-related sites, and some kid with a LiveJournal accounts. However, I think it might not be all that off for me to assume that the style of my writing (or at least, the verbosity

) is fairly unmistakable.
I forewarn people; thanks to the tools of the Internet Age, typing my name on the Internet is almost like speaking aloud the name of a demon; there's a chance you may summon me. (however, I tend to arrive rather late if I do...) But chances are I'll hear (er, read) what you've communicated nonetheless.
I also forewarn people; thanks to the tools of the Government Spying age, often merely SPEAKING my name aloud, or at least, saying it in a phone conversation, might also draw my attention. However, since I'm not privy to the NSA's information, I'd actually doubt this.

At any rate, enough about YOU, let's talk about ME!

As some might remember, (or simply able to find out with a quick check on the 'Net) I'm a 19-year-old college student currently in Michigan. My room is filled with countless books, notepads, whole computers, and computer parts, all from various epochs of world history. Currently, I'm finished with my "junior" (third) year, and going into my fourth (and possibly final) year of undergraduate studies, majoring in political science and computer science, and minor-ing in legal studies. I have a habit of leaving my fellow students bewildered.
For around 15 years, I have been playing both console and PC games. The list of games I've played probably stretches into four digits, and covers every (legitimate) genre there is. I've tried a wide range of things; I've hammered around with a variety of games, though when it comes to editing, I've found like like using the
Construction Set most.
Most recently, it has become clear that
Oblivion has perhaps become my most "obsessive" game ever; within the first two weeks, I had hit around 150 hours of time playing it; not necessarily good for the ending weeks of school. Thus far, a little over two months since the game's release, I've played more than 350 hours of the game, and spent perhaps an additional half that much time in the
Construction Set. Preceding the release of the game, I managed to accrue 7,000+ posts on the official forums, more than I've posted across everywhere else on the Internet combined. (3,000-4,000 posts)
More recently, I've been able to put down
Oblivion more and more, and in fact, have actually been playing other games more than
Oblivion. Also, that means I've been coming online more often, which wasn't
entirely taken as a bad thing, it would seem.
My life is far from games, though; I also read a lot, and occasion, engage in "physical activity." And obviously, I spent a lot of time on the Internet.
On the subject of my avatar, it's usually of Mr. Blonde, from the original
Perfect Dark. It also might be of Graham Jones, from
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. Or, it might be some other video game character, which is, as far as I've been using avatars, what it's always been.
Finally, we arrive at the part you were hoping for: the end. If anyone has any questions, (I don't mean about this post, though questions about this introduction are fine as well) feel free to PM me, or perhaps to simply start a thread asking that question; at sites I actually frequent, simply asking a question that I could answer may draw my attention as well.
I'm currently wondering why a number of emoticons were lost in the transition from W4O to Chorrol, among other things. That aside, pleased to meet you all, and it's understandable if you're pleased you don't have to meet me in real life.
