Notable Sites:
Bernhard Riemann gives you epilepsy, my first site My hicks don't lie, my first site to make the "Up and Coming" list The antidote to Viagra, my most viewed work-safe site (NSFW) Erica Campbell, my first NSFW site (and how I learned that merely editing a site can classify it as non-NSFW. It's a bug for which I long for a fix, if not already done) How music lovers play Mega Man III, which YTMNDer Adverb generously rated a 5 (thanks!)

About me

I like, well, games, preferably older video or computer games. I do not own a current-generation game console, but would not mind an Xbox 360 (I want to play Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved and see it for myself), and I do have a PC. I also like Lindsay Lohan and many other redheads. (My icon here is from an image on a (currently NSFW) site of mine, Lindsay wants it BAD.)

Votes and viewing habits

I try to give votes from to and amounts in between.

I usually like to check Up and Coming sites, but if I give too many and votes I'll check random sites to find awful ones.

If people a site because its maker used Internet Explorer or didn't use Mozilla Firefox, it gets from me. If someone makes a site advertising Firefox, it gets . When Spread Firefox and hundreds of other sites are already pushing it, and the quality of the browser speaks for itself, further shilling is annoying and counterproductive. On the other hand, users who mention their use of the rarely-shilled Audacity or GIMP make me happy.

I strongly prefer strict ("classic" style) sites—"Strict YTMND FTW", as I often say.

I prefer clean (or satirically awful-looking) sites to crude Paint jobs. I might appreciate good, original pixel art though.

Otherwise, I try to take MasterSitsu's advice to Polizei and judge a site on merits. I stay away from user bias as much as I can.

Comments

I like verticons like o_0, like Asgard01 does, but I use them far less in my comments.

Sometimes I like to type an elongated "sweet" (e.g., "sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet").

My "This just killed NEDM" comment on reggie-wanker's Taking of Pelham gave rise to his follow-up, OMG They Killed-.

One of my comments here led to the use of Lavos' Theme in "holy crap, a meteor!" and its derivatives.

Fads

I prefer to stay away from fad-based sites and make strict-style ones, but I may make one at times if, for instance, I like the music, premise, or character involved (Secret Islamic Sailor Jupiter, for example, for the cute girl and cool music). I also despise fad sites that ignore core aspects of their respective fad (including many "Epic Maneuver"-type sites).

If I had to choose one alternate universe, it would probably be YesYes, because I have seen some smart sites made for that.

Links

Some of my YTMNDers

• moheevi, one of my favorite YTMNDers. Some structural portions of this page are lifted mercilessly from his (so thanks moheevi).
• State-of-mind is on a roll these days. Also Typogra.
• Asgard01, who uses verticons a lot.
• CDawg82191, who made omgameteor.
• Adverb, a hated but (I think) somewhat-well-meaning YTMNDer, especially when he gives sneak-peeks into the moderator interface.

Other

• game kid's main site.
