| Hey! I'm GetOutOfBox, or at least, that's my online name. It's supposed to refer to people thinking "inside a box" (as in not examining their opinions from different angles/limiting their own intellectual growth) and how they should "get out of" said box. Oh well, no one ever seems to realize that.

| == About Me ==

| I'll start with the most important thing to know when having a conversation with someone, what their gender is. I am male, 17 years old. I have brown hair, brown eyes (how ridiculously boring), I am caucasian and I'm tall and kind of between a skinny and average build. The reason I see fit to inform you of these traits, is because I always find it slightly unnerving when I build up an image of how I <u>think</u> people I know online look, only to have their true looks, which are much different than I pictured them, revealed on some random occasion. Kind of like when a movie is made based on your favourite book, but the none of the actors looked anything like you pictured them. I live in Ontario, Canada. Excuse the online-dating style profile ;).

| Other than Pokemon, my main interests are Computers, I seem to have a knack for fixing both software and hardware issues, and I particularly enjoy programming games using C++ (the best programming language there is, at least in my opinion). I also enjoy reading fantasy novels with intricate storylines, such as "A Game of Thrones" (classic), though sometimes I'm in the mood for simpler fiction, such as Harry Potter. I reread books <u>A LOT</u>. Sometimes 8-10 times if it's a really good novel. I like most kinds of music, ranging from some 60's rock to modern pop. I'm not a music hipster though, so I can assure you I won't give long speeches about how much rap sucks, or how cool Beethoven is, etc.

| I'm very into collecting facts (Wikipedia is my God), and often like to debate philosophical issues, even if I have no power to change them. I am an atheist, though I don't hate religious people.

| As for my interest in Pokémon (the reason we're all here), I love the anime to this day. I've lost interest in the games over the years, as I find them to have become watered down and unoriginal. Perhaps they were always that way, though I loved Pokemon Gold/Crystal as a kid. I used to collect the cards, but again, I've lost interest in them over the years. I still have my collection though, so I'll upload scans of them if need-be.

| I love the original series of the anime (Indigo League-Master Quest/Season 1-5), and likely as a result of nostalgia, I find it very difficult to get myself interested in the newer seasons. I don't hate the new seasons, in fact, I think the art has come a long way since Season 1, but I don't like most of the voice actors.

| Boosting the quality of anime episode images. This involves adjusting the white-balance, reshading characters and objects to remove compression artifacts, etc. It's fun work though, and it's nice to make Bulbapedia look nicer :)
