Welcome to my happening user page. Please [[User_talk:G-Mang|drop me a message]] if anything's on your mind. :)
==Info==
I'm a west coast U.S. player who [[Scout (competitive)|mains Scout competitively]]. When I pub, I usually mess around with other classes, and I prefer no random crits or damage spread. My current team is [http://steamcommunity.com/groups/pxtf2 Perplex]. I'm a long-time reader and lurker on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia], was [http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/User:G-Mang a moderator] on the old [http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Main_Page TF2 Wiki], and am now an [[Help:Group rights#Content Administrators|administrator]] on the [[Main Page|Official TF Wiki]].

My main interests on the wiki are [[mechanics]] and [[weapons|weapon statistics]], [[Team Fortress Wiki:Policies|policies and guidelines]], usability features and formatting, game options and configs ([[Scripting|scripts]], [[Head-up display|huds]], cvars, etc), and [[competitive play]] topics. Areas in which I'm noticeably less-than-informed include cosmetic accessories ([[hats]]), Model Viewer image creation, and [[Team Fortress Wiki:Translation progress|translations]].

==Wiki work==
===To-do list===
* Finish the [[game mechanics]] article, to replace one of the big buttons on the main page
* Formalize and integrating the [[competitive play]] articles and categories
* Expand wiki content related to game settings and configs

===Current activities===
* Working on articles mentioned in to-do list
* Creating redirect pages
* Testing statistics and mechanics of [[weapons]] and correcting weapon articles
* Taking part in [[Team Fortress Wiki:Discussion|wiki discussions]]

==Other projects==
===HUD===
My personal HUD is in the public beta stage. You can learn about and download it [http://code.google.com/p/gmang-tf2hud/ here].

===Scripts===
I'm revising my scripts (again), and while I'm [http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time procrastinating real hard] on it, I can assure you that the will be much more comprehensive and updated than my old ones. When I'm done with them, I'll be hosting them [http://code.google.com/p/gmang-tf2cfg/ here].

===Writing===
I wrote up a phatty [[User:G-Mang/An Explanation of Competitive Preferences|explanation of competitive preferences]] a while back. If you're new you might learn something from it (otherwise, probably not).

Some time ago I wrote an instructional page for new TF2 players. You can read it [[User:G-Mang/TF2 Instructions|here]].

===Trivia===
* My TF2 "career" basically started with being a pubstar [[Spy]], then getting into STA [[Highlander]] and 8v8, then STA 6v6, and finally mainstream competitive 6v6.
* My [[community weapon]] is of the [[Scattergun]] variety.
* I co-founded and was the leader of the first generation of #university.
* I was an admin of [http://steamcommunity.com/groups/PugScrimCoalition jeah pugs] back when it was really active.
* I have a background in digital media design (animation, graphic design, web design), film theory, and game design studies.
* Online multiplayer games I play or used to play (besides TF2) include CS 1.3-1.6, [http://www.unknownworlds.com/ Natural Selection], Brood War, Warcraft 3, DotA, LoL, and Garry's Mod 10; I have minor experience with TFC, L4D1, and UT2004.
* I'm technically a legal minister.
