If you're on this page it means you either wanted to know stuff about me or you clicked on the wrong link. In the case of the latter, see if my header bar does anything to help. Otherwise, well, I don't want to go on some spiel about "how I first fell in love with Star Wars" or anything. I saw the PT as a kid because everyone else did, thought they were cool, then decided to sign up an account here at the very end (literally, 31st Dec) of 2008. The KOTOR media is my favourite area of Star Wars at the moment (and what I usually write about), although it's closely followed by the pre-TCW Clone Wars stuff of 2003-2007-ish.
In real life, I'm a software engineering student though I don't pretend to know much stuff or be one of those people who, with horrible frequency, say they've already written a dozen full programs in a language we're not even studying yet. I'm also a massive anime fan thanks to my random curiosity as to what one of my friends was watching (Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, it's amazing) and now also contribute to the Soul Eater Wiki, but I'll just direct you to my MAL list if you want to know more. Fun fact: Most of my IRC /quit messages are an obscure anime reference; guess one and you win.
I'll often review articles on the CAN, FAN and GAN (in decreasing order of frequency). If you want me to review one of yours then ask, I generally review all KOTOR related ones anyway. If you need a screenshot from one of 5/6 games, or want to get something made into an SVG (vector) image then scroll down to the Images section and see if I can be of help. Just ask on my talk page, I love doing vectors and getting screenshots almost as much as I procrastinate on my FA writing =P

If you want to actively take one of these up then feel free, this is just a reminder to myself that these might be fun to do later. Many months later.
- FA Zhar Lestin. (For WP:KOTOR)
- FA Jelph Marrian. (For WP:KOTOR, did work on it a bit then gave up :P)
- GA Serroco. (For WP:KOTOR)
- If I was crazy, I'd write an FA/GA for every item in my collection.
- However I'm not crazy, although a CA for every item in my collection would be fun.
Because I'd be a pretty poor member of WP:I otherwise, I can do screenshots of stuff as well as vector graphics. I'm working entirely off a single laptop with a not-stellar CPU (i3-370M @ 2.4GHz) or resolution (1366x768, but looking to get a separate HD monitor) but with an otherwise hefty GPU (Nvidia GT420M 1GB VRAM @ 1GHz) and a decent 4GB DDR3 RAM, so bear this in mind.
The programs I mainly use for images are: (game screenshots) Fraps and Gimp 2.7; (video/audio captures) KMPlayer <3; (emulating) Dolphin; (vectors) Inkscape; (renders) Gmax, Yafaray, mdlops, NWmax, Blender, probably some other stuff.
Screenshots
Edit
I can get screenshots from any part of these five games, all on maximum graphics settings.
KotOR (1280x768) • KotOR II: TSL (1024x768) • Republic Commando (1364x768) • Battlefront II (1364x768) • Bounty Hunter (1024x768)
The Force Unleashed may be added to this in the next Steam sale
NB. Bounty Hunter is being emulated at around 20FPS (playable and higher-than-native quality, but lags a little at times). If you want a screenshot from here, please be as specific as you can about where and when I can find it as I have to play through the level from the start to get to it, and each level is LONG.
I can sort of get screenshots from the start of TCW: Jedi Alliance and some in-game artwork on a hit-and-miss basis. This is emulating a Nintendo DS game though, so expect similar sort of quality.
I can, with a pretty decent level of skill, trace (be it by a filter or, far more often, by hand) svg versions of logos and the like. See my /Vector subpage for more info, not that there is much there at the moment.
KOTOR Renders
Edit
I have managed to get 3D renders of objects in KOTOR and TSL, but the method was really imprecise and largely comprised of guesswork with variable results. I'm planning to look into better ways of doing it in the future because the quality is really high, and you can get images of things you don't normally see. If you can help give me some pointers on this, I'd appreciate it.

Collection
Edit
My collection is arranged in the standard publishing era timeline. I've just guessed at the placement for some of it when I couldn't be bothered to look it up. Every publication is treated individually except for comics which are arranged by story arc, if complete. Reference material is at the bottom, below Infinities. A

or
next to an item indicates that I have promoted an article to the denoted status; the icon is linked to the article. If one of such articles appeared in more than one item, it is listed next to its first major appearance.
