Hey there, hi there, ho there, and welcome to my world. Ah, you know what they say, MY world, MY rules. So here's Rule #1: NO TRESPASSING! And when you're done, I'll show you the way out, have a nice day!

Biography
I'm not kidding when I say that I've been a LEGO fan for as long as I can remember, and even beyond that. I still have old video tapes of myself as a baby playing with the DUPLO bricks. However, this is not exactly a LEGO Wiki, but a LEGO Island Wiki, so I'm not going to cover everything I ever did with LEGO, but only that of LEGO Island.

LEGO Island
I first played LEGO Island when I got a cheap, rather promotional version of it sponsored by some cheese company. This was a very glitchy and low-quality version, so I never really got the hang of it.

Years later, I stumbled upon a "LEGO Adventure Pack" or something, which contained four videogames: Rock Raiders (the main reason I got the pack), LEGO Chess, LEGO Creator, and LEGO Island. I found this version of LEGO Island (which I later found out to be the 2000 reissue rather than the original 1997 edition) to be of much higher quality than the first version, and I fell in love with it. I got Red Bricks on all challenges except the racecar ones, and I never was able to catch the Brickster. This was mainly due to the fact that I played LEGO Island on a Windows 95, so it was slightly laggy, which made racing and Chopper Chasing much harder than it should have been.

LEGO Island 2
Now, I wanted to play the sequel to LEGO Island. Luckily, I was able to find it in another co-pack that also included LEGO Racers 2, Drome Racers (which I have not yet played to this day), and BIONICLE: The Game. I loved this game, but I missed the feel of the original, and the fact that its loading times were as slow as molasses. Nonetheless, with a LEGO Island on a Windows 95 and a LEGO Island 2 on a Windows XP, things seemed to be going good.

The Dark Times
No, this does not refer to the period of time when I lose interest in LEGO. This refers to when, starting mid-2006, my Windows XP decided that it would refuse to play any videogame, online game, movie, or music without huge lags that made the LEGO Island 2 loading times seem short. Thus, one by one, nearly all my LEGO videogames I started to play less and less, until the only LEGO program that could work on the XP without huge lags was LEGO Studios Moviemaker. This meant that LEGO Island 2 was reduced to sitting in a CD case, collecting dust.

LEGO Island, on the other hand, stayed faithful on the Windows 95. And, while I still couldn't beat the racing challenges or catch the Brickster, I spent many hours relaxing and having fun on LEGO Island, including the hours I spent in the Information Center Observation Deck, just messing with the sky colors and listening to L.E.G.O. Radio. However, with time, I gradually lost the time that I needed to play LEGO Island, and so I have not played that game either for a long time.

In addition, on BZPower, my friend Tacku Nuva decided that he would make a LEGO Island 3 movie. However, before much production was done, he mysteriously vanished.

Vista Revival
Well, then towards the end of 2007, I got a brand-new Windows Vista Laptop. Then, in mid-2008, I was watching LEGO Island 2 gameplay videos on everybody's favorite forbidden video hosting website (which I will not name, simply because this Wiki is linked to by the BZPower Topic) and had a nostalgia attack. Then, I wondered if it was possible to play LEGO Island 2 on the Windows Vista. So, I brushed the dust off the CD case and installed LEGO Island 2 onto my Vista.

I am also now in possession of a Windows 98, which has already been proven to run Alpha Team and LEGO Racers. I'm considering installing LEGO Island onto that computer to see if it will run any better.

LEGO Island 3
Tacku returned! And this time, he announced that the LEGO Island 3 movie was cancelled... and to be replaced by something much better - a game instead! Naturally, being a big fan of LEGO Island myself, I wanted to help out in this project.

I'm one of four creators of the Brickster Bot Spider (or the BricksterBot Spider, since in this game the term BricksterBot is one word, not two). The other three are Brikman McStudz, Tacku, and... Evil Ogel himself. Yes, I intercepted an email from Evil Ogel to the Brickster detailing his blueprints of what he called a Brickspider Bot.

I've joined this Wiki and made several contributions, especially to the Adventurers-based pages. I've made plenty of suggestions to Tacku about the game, and I'm currently writing a LEGO Island 3 novelization based on the game.

I'm just getting used to this wiki business, so expect that this page will approve with time.

Contributions
Both these links lead to contributions I've made. The only difference between the two is that the former leads to contributions I've made while signing in... and the latter leads to contributions I made a while ago when I signed out and forgot to sign back in...
