User bio After that startingly original thread title, I should make a post that actually is original. Hmm...

Well, I guess I have to start somewhere. My name's Icy Guy, and you may have seen my name before. I used to sequence MIDIs (most of which can be found in the A-F section of VGMusic.com's N64 section), I try my hand at "digital audio" remixing every now and then, and I've been involved in some sort of game hacking for the past two and a half years. I got my start at GSCentral, and I currently work there, updating every so often. I daresay HyperHacker remembers me, though. You may have also seen me at the Rare Witch Project Forums (no, I'm NOT Ice Mario...I don't want to have to explain that to you guys, too :P), if any of you go there. I also visit a few Sonic the Hedgehog forums, those being mainly based around hacking the series' games. Heck, I even wrote something of a hacking guide for Sonic Battle, and I also wrote a savestate editor for it that just changed KO counts. The second half of the previous sentence also indicates that I write programs on occasion, in Visual Basic. Despite the fact that I've been doing that for nearly a year, I'm still somewhat of a VB newb, having no "formal" training or any trips to the library to find a book. Recently, I've been tossing around the idea of learning C++, but I really need to see how easy it is to get data from an offset (a la VB's "Get" function) before I take the plunge. Speaking of programming, I wrote something I call the "GBA Color Picker," which can be found on Zophar's GBA utilities page.

If my avatar is any indication, I also have something of a soft spot for 16-bit gaming. I love the DKC series, SMW series, and Sonic the Hedgehog series, those being 3 series that I can name off the top of my head. I feel that this was a time when games had 3 important ingredients: then-incredible graphics, great gameplay, and unforgettable music. I'm not what you'd call a "16-bit guru," though, because, back then, I just went and picked up all the big-name franchise games. I wasn't even 10 yet: what did I know? :P Also, I'd like to get into hacking some SNES games one of these days: I've spent quite a bit of time on Google looking for hacking guides for various SNES games, and I've come up with squat. Maybe that's part of the reason I signed up here.

I guess that's all I need to say, really, or it's just all I can think of saying. I don't blame you one bit if you broke off reading this after the first paragraph, or if you just took one look at this post and decided you weren't going to waste your time reading it. This went on much longer than I originally intended, believe me.

(What? That was my first post.)
