Aliases/nicknames: Shade Guy. Often shortened to Shade. Sometimes referred to as Zhade, too. I also run a creative writing blog,
Tangent's Holiday Project (currently inactive since my holidays have ended) under the name Tangent.
Age: Depending on the source, either 40 or 18.
Gender: Male.
Grade/level of education: First year university student.
Why did you join Cutstuff?: To submit a skin to the long-dead Kirby's Adventure expansion. Then I stuck around for some unknown reason.
Have you ever taken a break?: Not intentionally. I check Doomseeker most days and play if anything interests me. So if nothing I consider interesting is hosted for a while, I guess it becomes a break of sorts.
Favourite TV show(s)?: I only really watch TV when I'm getting ready in the morning (in which case it's usually cartoons). My friend showed me some Arrested Development episodes and they were pretty cool though.
Any anime?: I watched all of Cowboy Bebop during my last holidays. That was good. I also tried watching Akagi, but I never properly understood how Mahjong worked and gave up.
Favourite color?: Green is generally a cool colour. Blue is the colour I wear most though. And violet
looks bloody brilliant in artistic settings. Look at it.Other games you play?: Currently, Spelunky (HD) and Team Fortress 2.
Favorite hobbies?: Drawing, playing and composing music, and writing.
Race/ethnicity?: Caucasian. Second generation (or third, I forget) Australian with British ancestry.
Fears?: General social fears of neglection, being mocked, failing my friends and so forth.
Family?: I had one last time I checked... *opens bedroom door and pokes head out* Yeah they're still there.
Allergies?: None.
How are you in person vs online?: I'm possibly
more quiet and reserved online, considering I don't join Cutstuff Skype calls.
Something you say alot?: "Oh hey", and recently "please and thank you" and "forget about it!"
Favorite Mega Man character(s)?: Bubble Man, Snake Man and Oil Man.
Genre(s) of music?: Rock, jazz and most things in between. I like to think I can appreciate most music as long as they're well-composed.
Favourite song(s)?: Currently,
Best Friend by Foster The People.
Height?: 6'something. Last time I checked (several years ago) I was 6', and I'm certain I've grown since then.
Favourite food?: Hamburgers and steak sandwiches.
Pets?: I had some goldfish as a child. They died.
Typical everyday outfit?: Shirt and black jeans. The nice-ness of the shirt depends on whether I'm going out or not that day.
Question?: All that I know are questions and exclamation marks.
What word/few words best describe you?: Deceptive to myself and others, intentional or otherwise. Cautious, hesitant and cowardly.
Ham or cheese?: If in a toasted sandwich, both. Otherwise, ham.
Favourite drink?: Apple juice. I was given a bottle of a liqueur brand which coincidentally shares its name with my name for my birthday, and it tasted pretty good. I might continue having it, if only for the novelty of it sharing my name. And I'm at least obligated to finish the bottle.
Favourite Youtube Channel?: Game Grumps, Cr1tikal, Ricesnot and various YTPMV channels.
What makes you happy/smile?: Irony, personal insight, moments of true friendship and a good (or terrible) joke.
Anything else?: I've referred to myself as having lived "under a cultural rock". I try to keep an open mind, but due to my non-diverse upbringing there are times when I am genuinely uninformed. Please correct me if I ever have moments of ignorance.
Pet peeves?: Patronizing behaviour. I
will get the urge to slap you if you ever say "good boy" to me. Also, inconsistency.
