[edit] Username Origin

I originally was trying to get the name "Nintendo Fanatic" on Smash Mail, but it was already taken. So I then used "Nintendo Maniac". Later on the EZBoard system, I screwed up the email address when I tried to register the name "Nintendo Maniac" and could not confirm the account nor re-create it. So I just registered under the name "Nintendo Maniac 64". Sometimes if there isn't enough room for that name, I'll use one of the following instead:

  • NintendoManiac64 / nintendomaniac64
  • Nintendo Maniac
  • NintendoManiac / nintendomaniac
  • N.Maniac 64 / N_Maniac_64
  • N.Maniac64
  • NManiac64
  • NM64

[edit] Background/Lifestyle

Nintendo Maniac 64 is a geek with asperger's and is very socially awkward around people he's not very familiar with. He is usually not liked by most people and usually doesn't get along very well with others, not to mention he refuses to participate in the "dating game" (note: this appears to result in no relationships).

He also has a very narrow area of interests. This usually only includes things that are related to racing related (except NASCAR), science & technology (this includes geek humor and memes), or Japan.

Even though he is quite the Japanophile, Nintendo Maniac 64 cannot handle RPGs beyond the more basic and simple ones (such as the Paper Mario Games). This is because he is ridiculously analytical and cannot just "wing it" and feels a massive need to plan out his "perfect plan" or party which is no fun. The other exception to this are games that allow anytime saving or are relatively short to play through again because of multiple routes through the game's story. (*cough*datingsims*hack*chock*)

[edit] Activity as an OLR listener

Nintendo Maniac 64 was looking for an online radio station for video game music. Needless to say, he eventually found Orange Lounge Radio and ironically never listened to the radio stream much and just mainly listened to OLR LIVE.

[edit] Inside Jokes

Nintendo Maniac 64's DSL will commonly have connection stability issues in the late evening (around 8PM-11PM EST) and therefore anytime he ping timeouts in chat, it is 99.99999999...% of the time due to his DSL dying and loosing a connection.

Also, his DSL may also die while playing online (such as it has done in Mario Kart DS) and can result in epic failure.

Previously, DMN held contempt for NM64 over offline tracks in Mario Kart DS's wifi mode, which would cause NM64 to cower in fear every time DMN showed up.

[edit] Gaming

Nintendo Maniac 64 is a fan of faster-paced games that are not just button mashing (*cough*GodofWar*hack*choke*) such as many racing games (like the F-Zero) and action-adventure-platformer games (like Metroid or Zelda). Problem Solving elements are another trait of games that he likes because of his massive analytical-ness (such as, yet again, Metroid and Zelda). Shooter games are fair game as well (such as FPS's like Quake and space shooters like Star Soldier or Rouge Squadron or rail shooters like Sin and Punishment). Being quite the geek and interested in tech, futuristic games instantly get bonus points (hello again F-Zero and Metroid). Though, secretly, he has a soft spot for relatively deep stories (such as in, for the 9000th time, Metroid and Zelda, and those... um... "Japanese novel games")
